Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Seeing Shen Nian’s confident gaze, Chu Lingxiu refused to be outdone.

”Changing the dorms was my idea. It has nothing to do with Wang Chunhua. If you want to cause trouble, you should be coming after me!”

Cao Yuqing looked at Chu Lingxiu, who was fuming but didn’t dare speak out. ’If I actually dared to cause trouble for Chu Lingxiu, why would I have needed to use Wang Chunhua as a scapegoat?’

”I’m going to report this to the school. I’m sure the school wouldn’t want to see someone poisoning the campus atmosphere like this. Yunzhi, Chunhua, let’s go.”

Shen Nian had no desire to keep arguing with Cao Yuqing in this grove. Besides, she knew Cao Yuqing would only get truly anxious if they actually tried to leave.

”Wait, you can’t leave!”

Sure enough, just as Shen Nian and her friends turned to leave, Cao Yuqing stepped forward to block their path.

”What, wasn’t bullying Wang Chunhua enough for you? Now you want to start on us?”

”Shen Nian, I was wrong about what happened before. We’re all classmates. If this gets blown out of proportion, it won’t be good for anyone!”

Cao Yuqing was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. But when it came to whether the school would actually investigate this, she truly had no idea what would happen.

”Hmph, so now you remember we’re all classmates? Why didn’t you say that when you were bullying Chunhua? Besides, even if this does get blown out of proportion, it seems like it’ll only be bad for you—the one who was bullying another student!”

What Shen Nian hated most were people with double standards—one set of rules for themselves, and a completely different set for everyone else.

”You... Fine, then. What will it take for you to act like this never happened?”

”Why should we pretend this never happened? The fact is, it *did* happen!”

”Shen Nian, don’t play dumb. You know what I mean!”

”Sorry, but I have no interest in what you’re thinking.”

”You...”

”Besides, I’m not the one you bullied. The decision isn’t mine to make.”

As Shen Nian spoke, she glanced at Wang Chunhua, her meaning perfectly clear.

Of course, Cao Yuqing understood what Shen Nian was implying. ’But apologize to a country bumpkin like Wang Chunhua? As if I’d be willing to do that!’

”I’ve given you a chance. It looks like you’re the one who doesn’t want to take it.”

When Cao Yuqing remained silent, Shen Nian gestured to her friends, preparing to leave.

”Wait!”

After shouting, Cao Yuqing gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and walked up to Wang Chunhua.

”I’m sorry. What happened today was my fault. I’ll never do anything like this again, I promise!”

No matter how unwilling she felt, Cao Yuqing had no other choice right now.

”Okay.”

Wang Chunhua looked at Cao Yuqing, her eyes red-rimmed and her heart overwhelmed with emotion as she nodded. After speaking, she turned to look at Shen Nian. ’She never imagined she would hear an apology from Cao Yuqing. This was all thanks to Shen Nian.’

Shen Nian watched Wang Chunhua with a gratified expression. She had deliberately provoked Cao Yuqing like that for this very reason. Wang Chunhua had extremely low self-esteem, and today’s incident would undoubtedly cast a long shadow over her. If it wasn’t handled properly, it could have affected her indefinitely.

But now, having Wang Chunhua accept Cao Yuqing’s public apology was essential for rebuilding her confidence.

Only after the three of them had left the grove did Qi Yunzhi finally look at Shen Nian and speak.

”Xiao Nian, why did you agree to let her off the hook just now? She bullied Chunhua like that, and just making her apologize? That’s letting her off way too easy!”
