“Qin Jing, you are just the daughter of the Qin Family. Your family doesn’t even care that much about you. You think I won’t ask the head of the Qin Family to bow his head over to me right now for what you’ve done?” Yan Wei glared at her.
Ever since she was young, she had always been used to being showered by gifts.
Since when was she treated like this?!
Ever since she arrived in City A, these country bumpkins had been treating her like dirt! They were really lawless to even think about going against her like this! She scowled.
Did they not believe that she was influential enough? If Yan Yu would hear about this, he would’ve thrown his head back in laughter. How useless did they think she was?
Also, if this news spread all the way back to the Capital, she’d lose even more face.
At the thought of this, her eyes flashed under the artificial light. The only thing she wanted to do now was to grab Yao Tang and Qin Jingby the hair and torture them incessantly.
Qin Jing, however, was not angered by her words. “If you can get the head of my family to come over and bow to you, then do it.” She shrugged, crossing her arms over her chest. “You’re so smug for an illegitimate daughter. I wonder who gave you such confidence.”
As soon as the others heard this, they immediately started chiming in.
“That’s right. She’s nothing more than an illegitimate daughter. How could she make such a ruckus?”
“She’s probably just taking advantage of her power to intimidate others.”
“Who is this illegitimate daughter to mock the daughter of the Qin Family? She really has such bad luck. I wouldn’t want to be her, that’s for sure.”
“Shouldn’t she feel ashamed?”
……
As soon as they started to chime in, Yan Wei began to feel even more uncomfortable.
She slammed her hands onto the table and glared at every single one of them. “You better remember what you guys said,” she snapped. “I’ll be sure to ask my parents to send all of you kneeling. Let’s see what you have to say after that! Useless!”
The entire classroom quieted down.
Hesitation flooded across their faces.
Lin Xin, however, appeared unbothered. She remained seated as she tilted her head. “Your family would go against all the powerful families of City A?” she questioned. “They must be really arrogant.”
“Yeah, do they really think they can do that?”
“Should I start telling my grandfather to be on his guard? Are you going to ask him to kneel down too?”
“If the Yan Family would go against us, then wouldn’t that mean that they’d also lose all their allies?”
“Please, City A is such a small place. Why would they even care about us? She’s just bluffing. Besides, if we all join together, what can her family really do? She’d just lose more face.”
Yan Wei froze.
She could easily quash over these small families from City A.
However, if they all joined together and dispose of their allegiance away from her family, then they’d face large losses. Her family would obviously be disappointed in her.
It wouldn’t be a good sign for their future.
When Yan Yu was still the proud son of the Yan Family, he managed to gain the support of all families from City A. In fact, he had earned the family quite a lot of business deals in their favor.
Now that she was here… things shouldn’t be much different.
Even if Yan Wei was favored now, she still needed to prove herself to her parents. She couldn’t be as free as Yan Yuhad been then. She still didn’t know these people.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but shuffle nervously on her seat.
“You don’t know any of my family matters, so I suggest you wouldn’t talk about it. I’m no illegitimate daughter, and I have no idea where you got that news. All I want is for us to get along well while I’m still here.”
“That’s right.” Li Ruo stood beside her. “Weiwei is not an illegitimate daughter. You don’t know her situation well enough if you think that’s true. Why don’t you stop listening to these rumors?”
The other students of International Middle School started speaking up for her.
Everyone started to explain how Yan Wei couldn’t have been an illegitimate daughter at all. They even mentioned things about the Yan Family, which made the students of Class 20 suspect that they made a mistake.
