Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Called the Police Directly
Ye Xuan looked at her and said, “If I say I just happened to be passing by, would you believe me?”
An Mi looked at him indifferently. She didn’t speak, clearly showing her disbelief.
Ye Xuan didn’t feel bothered by it either.
“Sorry, did I scare you just now?” he said.
An Mi really wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she held back: “What do you think?”
She previously had no opinions about him.
But now, he repeatedly does these annoying things, and she really dislikes it.
Ye Xuan: “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Sometimes, when apologies are overused, An Mi also finds them repulsive.
“Ye, I hope this is the last time,” An Mi said. “Apologies said too often start to seem insincere.”
“…”
Ye Xuan looked at her, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly said: “An Mi, actually, I like you.”
Upon hearing this, An Mi was very calm, “I know.”
Ye Xuan was somewhat taken aback by her completely unsurprised demeanor.
Even, he felt a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed deep inside when he heard her very indifferent response.
“But Ye Xuan, I don’t like you. So, I hope you won’t do this kind of thing in the future.” After saying this, An Mi wanted to turn around and leave.
The moment she turned around, Ye Xuan wanted to reach out and touch her again, but he refrained in time.
He was worried that his hand might get hurt again.
“An Mi, are you rejecting me because you like someone else, or as Wu Xiaomin said, because you are being kept by a rich man?” he blurted out subconsciously.
Even his tone carried a tone of interrogation.
An Mi abruptly stopped in her tracks.
She turned around, her eyes coldly fixed on him.
She scoffed coldly: “Ye Xuan, how I live my life is none of your business!”
Ye Xuan: “So, you’re admitting it?”
This time, An Mi couldn’t hold back and rolled her eyes, “Whether I am or not, what does it have to do with you? Who are you to me? Do you just love to meddle in other people’s business?”
An Mi had never been so angry with a stranger before; she was truly furious.
But it was just a few seconds of anger, and she calmed down again.
After all, Ye Xuan was nobody to her, and she didn’t need to care about what he said.
Ye Xuan was at a loss for words at the moment.
An Mi didn’t bother with him anymore and directly turned and left.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Chen Jin saw that her expression looked a bit bad, so she immediately came over.
“What’s the matter, Mimi? Did Mr. Wan upset you?”
“It wasn’t him.”
“Then who was it?”
An Mi recounted her encounter with Ye Xuan below the dormitory.
After hearing the story, the three roommates unanimously said: “Is there something wrong with him?”
An Mi: “Probably really is something wrong with him.”
An Mi truly grew more and more disgusted with Ye Xuan.
“He declares his feelings yet doesn’t allow others to reject him, right?” Hu Hui was so angry she started cursing: “His brain must be waterlogged, saying such things without thinking, it’s definitely irritating.”
Then, Zhuzhu said: “Mimi, that Wu Xiaomin, I’ve heard that she’s not a simple person, you should be careful with her later.”
Chen Jin asked: “What do you mean not simple?”
Zhuzhu pushed up her glasses and said: “I heard her family has connections up high. Even if her family does something outrageous, they won’t face consequences; a phone call solves everything. She has an older brother who, before the New Year, hit someone with his car, causing severe injury to the person who is still unconscious in the hospital until now, but her brother could still get bail and roam outside freely. Moreover, no matter how the victim sues, they lose, and no one cares.”
Hu Hui frowned and said, “Isn’t this too inhumane?”
Chen Jin remarked sarcastically, “It’s not just inhumane, it’s downright cruel.”
“But Zhuzhu, how did you find out about these things?” Hu Hui asked, “Such big news should also have media coverage, right? Why haven’t I seen it?”
Zhuzhu said, “It was suppressed by the Wu Family using money, so naturally, it didn’t get reported. I heard about this from my parents talking when I went home before. The victim is a child of a security guard under my dad’s company. Their family is just an ordinary one; both parents work in the city, and the child is with them, just started senior year in high school. It was supposed to be a blossoming age, but now they can only lie in the hospital. Moreover, almost all of their money is spent, so they can’t afford a good lawyer. I heard my dad say they are probably going to give up. No matter which channels they try to seek justice through, it’s almost futile.”
Chen Jin muttered, “No wonder Wu Xiaomin’s nature is so arrogant, it turns out her family is rich with mines.”
Zhuzhu said, “Not just mines, but also power.”
Hu Hui said, “Even if the Wu Family is rich, they aren’t as wealthy as Mimi’s family, right? Don’t forget, Mimi has a capable sister and brother-in-law.”
“Not only that, Mimi has Mr. Wan as well, what can the minor Wu Family count for?” said Chen Jin.
An Mi: “…”
“However, being careful is always good, I also heard that Wu Xiaomin’s older brother dotes on her a lot, just a word from her and whatever it is, her brother will settle it for her,” Zhuzhu still seemed a bit worried.
An Mi said, “Alright, I understand.”
An Mi was not really afraid of these.
Some people’s retribution is not absent; it’s just not the time yet.
But what Zhuzhu mentioned today reminded An Mi of the incident between her and Yang Jie two years ago.
Although it’s said to be a lawful society now, some things hidden in the dark are out of our sight.
Unable to sleep, tossing and turning that night, An Mi decided to send a WeChat message to Wan Muqi.
Wan Muqi quickly replied to her, “Okay, I understand, I will have someone look into it, you go to sleep.”
An Mi sent a “good night” emoticon, then put down her phone.
The next day.
After last night’s event, An Mi had no good feelings toward Ye Xuan whatsoever.
Especially when she thought about his confession, she felt utterly uncomfortable.
She even took a leave from the afternoon’s drama rehearsal.
She even had the impulse to find Wu Xiaomin and swap roles with her.
An Mi’s change, Ye Xuan naturally felt it as well.
About last night’s incident, he indeed felt some regret; he had been too impulsive.
After the dissection class that afternoon, Ye Xuan promptly stopped An Mi.
An Mi stepped back due to his approach.
Chen Jin immediately stood in front of her.
“Ye Xuan, what do you want to do?” Chen Jin raised her eyes, looking at him with a wary face.
Ye Xuan glanced at Chen Jin, “I have something to talk to An Mi about, it’s none of your business, please step aside.”
Upon hearing his tone, Chen Jin was visibly annoyed, “I refuse to move aside!”
Ye Xuan: “You…”
“What you?” Chen Jin bluntly said, “My Mimi doesn’t want to talk to you, so move aside and don’t block our way to lunch!”
Ye Xuan ignored her and turned to look at An Mi behind her, saying, “An Mi, I sincerely want to apologize, I really didn’t mean to say that to you yesterday, I hope you won’t mind.”
Chen Jin scoffed coldly, “You say that so easily, as if saying ‘don’t mind’ means she won’t mind. If it were you, would you be so generous and not mind if someone slandered you like that?”
“…”
Basically, for every word Ye Xuan said, Chen Jin had a sharp retort.
And An Mi remained silent.
An Mi didn’t speak because everything Chen Jin said was what she wanted to say, so she didn’t bother to repeat it.
“Forget it, Jinjin, let’s go, Zhuzhu and the others are still waiting for us,” An Mi said, pulling at Chen Jin’s clothes.
After they left, Ye Xuan just stood there, seemingly lost in thought.
At that moment, Huang Jie came over, slinging his arm around him, and said with a sly grin, “What’s up, got rejected in your confession?”
Ye Xuan didn’t speak, but his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Huang Jie could tell what the answer was just by looking at him.
“No way, I actually guessed it right.” Huang Jie said somewhat gleefully: “You haven’t even been here for a month, and you’ve already been kicked out by the great scholar An Mi?”
Suddenly, he thought of something, and asked perplexedly: “But didn’t you just confess your feelings? Why do I feel like An Mi is avoiding you like the plague? She doesn’t even want to glance at you, or say a word to you.”
An Mi’s personality is famously good-tempered in their class, though she can be aloof sometimes, she wouldn’t be like she was today.
“Didn’t you do something excessive when you confessed?” Huang Jie speculated.
“…”
Ye Xuan ignored him, pushed his hand away, and left without saying anything.
Huang Jie: “…”
What does this mean?
Due to both An Mi and Chen Jin being on leave, Ye Xuan directly announced that today’s drama practice was cancelled.
That evening, when An Mi came out from the library, she was stopped by Wu Xiaomin.
An Mi gave her a calm look, then tried to turn and walk away.
She truly did not want to deal with this person.
But no matter which way she went, she was blocked by the people brought by her.
Holding her books, An Mi looked at her indifferently and said, “Wu Xiaomin, what do you want? Speak directly, and don’t engage in these meaningless acts.”
Wu Xiaomin, with arms crossed, looked her in the eye and said, “An Mi, I remember I told you to stay away from Ye Xuan.”
Hearing this, An Mi replied coolly: “Wu Xiaomin, he and I are classmates who see each other every day. So I ask you, how do you define ‘staying away’?”
“Besides, there he is. If you have the capabilities, keep an eye on him yourself. If not, don’t come shouting at me. This person you’re talking about, I have no interest in competing with you for him, and even if you are looking for a love rival, you’ve found the wrong person!”
An Mi spoke calmly and deliberately.
Wu Xiaomin: “I want you to switch your major!”
An Mi was startled, her gaze as if looking at a fool.
She couldn’t believe she would say something like that.
She made it sound so easy, as if the school belonged to her, saying to switch major as one pleases.
“Wu Xiaomin, I am now very certain that your brain is indeed filled with water!”
“An Mi, you…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when An Mi interrupted her: “Wu Xiaomin, you tell me to change my major, you might as well tell your Ye Xuan to change his major. And I have no reason to give up the major I love for you. Use your brain a bit, think, and you wouldn’t speak such unintelligent words.”
Wu Xiaomin was taken aback by An Mi’s words, and her face grew increasingly ugly.
An Mi was frustrated with these two always coming to her with nonsense.
She made her point so clear; do these two have a problem with their brain, not understanding?
She suddenly realized, these two are quite suitable for each other.
Matching brain circuits and intellects.
“If there’s nothing else, then please move aside.” An Mi said, “Otherwise, I will have to call the police.”
Hearing the word “police,” Wu Xiaomin showed no panic, instead, she scoffed arrogantly and said: “Go ahead and report.”
An Mi thought about the words Zhuzhu told her last night; it seems the Wu family is indeed quite arrogant.
Seeing that An Mi didn’t take any action, Wu Xiaomin thought she was just bluffing.
She hooked her lips and said sarcastically with a sneer: “An Mi, if I want to mess with you, it’s just a matter of one word. You better not be unwise. I’m giving you three days to leave the medical faculty, or else…”
“Or else what?” An Mi asked, narrowing her eyes.
Wu Xiaomin suddenly stepped forward, coming close to her face, and said: “If you haven’t switched majors, I will have someone kill you!”
An Mi looked at her, unflustered and said, “Really? Wu Xiaomin, this is a society ruled by law, you think you can kill me just because you say it? Who are you trying to scare?”
Wu Xiaomin said: “Hah, An Mi, if you want to try, I don’t mind letting you suffer. I have plenty of ways to deal with you.”
An Mi: “Then I’ll be waiting to see.”
After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and called the police immediately.
Less than ten minutes later, the police arrived.
Wu Xiaomin had not expected her to actually call the police, but she was not worried at all.
When the police car arrived, it also alerted the school leaders.
The police took An Mi and Wu Xiaomin back to the station to make a statement.
This was originally a trivial matter that could have been resolved on the spot.
However, An Mi played a recording for the police officers.
What was initially a minor issue instantly took on a different nature.
Wu Xiaomin was completely stupefied when she heard the recording played by An Mi.
She had never imagined that An Mi would record it.
In fact, she didn’t even know when An Mi had started recording.
In the police station.
Wu Xiaomin and An Mi sat on opposite sides, Wu Xiaomin staring intently at An Mi with wide eyes.
But An Mi didn’t want to deal with her at all.
Holding a book, she just looked down and read, completely unaffected by the outside world.
“Putting on an act!” Wu Xiaomin exclaimed.
But nobody paid attention to her.
Half an hour later.
Someone arrived.
Upon seeing the visitor, Wu Xiaomin’s face immediately brightened.
“Brother, you’re finally here.” She quickly got up and ran towards him.
“Who has been bullying you?” Wu Yingjun’s voice was very loud.
Wu Xiaomin immediately raised her hand and pointed towards An Mi: “Look, brother, it’s her. She even said she’s going to sue me!”
With someone backing her up, Wu Xiaomin naturally became even more arrogant.
Following the direction she pointed, Wu Yingjun looked over just as An Mi also looked up.
An Mi naturally looked demure, and her fair and beautiful face made her appear even more harmless.
Wu Yingjun unconsciously remarked, “Are you sure you weren’t the one bullying her?”
Wu Xiaomin: “…”
“Brother, I’m your sister!”
She knew all too well what her brother was thinking; he was simply smitten by An Mi’s beauty.
Wu Yingjun was a playboy; he had been involved with countless women, easily changing them as if they were merely clothes.
“Little beauty, how about we settle this privately?” Wu Yingjun took a few steps towards An Mi and said with a smile, “I will definitely give you a satisfactory compensation.”
His smile carried a hint of frivolity, and his words made one feel very uncomfortable.
Especially his gaze, which was lasciviously and blatantly fixated on An Mi, made her feel uncomfortable all over.
As he approached, An Mi took a step back.
Seeing this, a female police officer standing next to her stepped in front of An Mi.
“Sir, you can say what you need to from here, no need to get so close!”
At this moment, An Mi stated firmly: “I will not settle privately!”
Settling privately meant compromising, and if she chose to compromise, there was no point in having called the police in the first place.
She wanted to teach Wu Xiaomin a lesson, to show that not everyone could be provoked.
In this world, not everything revolves around her, Wu Xiaomin, or the Wu Family.
