Chapter 223: 217. With Huo Feng by your side, you have the confidence even in arguments! (2)
Before coming to class 9 of the second grade, Pu Sangzhi had long planned to discuss things with the other person in a good-natured way.
During this process, she constantly suppressed her emotions, striving to be friendly...
Pu Sangzhi told herself that losing her meal card was her own fault, and encountering a greedy person meant she couldn’t expect a full refund; she would take whatever loss she could minimize. Even if she couldn’t get anything back, she would accept that as her loss.
But who would have thought, the other person would be so aggressive and hurtful with their words! They even diverged from the topic of the meal card, directly using the term ’vixen’ to insult her character!
At this moment, Pu Sangzhi was extremely angry!
Angry enough that rage was boiling inside her chest, compelling her to take a deep breath to calm herself.
Pu Sangzhi cooled down for a moment, then managed to force a fake smile, her tone turning several degrees colder, "It seems I made a mistake coming here today. I didn’t expect that the other party’s character would be so despicable, lacking in morals, and completely incapable of communication."
"What did you say?"
Cai Yiwen frowned as if she had heard a joke, "Are you attacking me just now?"
Pu Sangzhi pressed her lips together and said with a smile, "To borrow Huo Feng’s words, you are just a dog. No, I think you are not even as good as a dog, you wasted nine years of compulsory education. It’s a mistake for our country to have nurtured you, coming here today was a mistake; let’s pretend I never came, goodbye."
Pu Sangzhi, known for her gentle demeanor, usually got along well with others and rarely argued.
Although such occasions were few, it didn’t mean she didn’t argue.
Several months ago, she had a fight with Lin Qianqian the first time they met, and it wasn’t as if Lin Qianqian had won the argument.
So now, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t going to let herself be inferior to Cai Yiwen.
She didn’t owe Cai Yiwen anything, so why should she let herself be insulted by Cai Yiwen?
In fact, it was Cai Yiwen who owed her; Cai Yiwen had spent over 200 yuan of her money!
Pu Sangzhi was ready to leave after the argument, but before she could take a step, Cai Yiwen grabbed her wrist and yelled, "You stay right there!"
Cai Yiwen was also riled up by her words and took on an aggressive stance, clearly intending to drag her into a quarrel, "Don’t forget, you came to me for money! What gives you the right to be so arrogant in front of me?"
"Don’t forget yourself, this is unjust enrichment!"
Pu Sangzhi glared back at her, "I came to you privately to settle this in the hope of ending things on good terms; I believed you would be a student with good morals. But your actions have disappointed me immensely!"
Cai Yiwen laughed in extreme anger and then pushed Pu Sangzhi, "Ha, you’re disappointed in me? I’m sick of you! What are you but trash? With your behavior, our whole class despises you! You still dare come to our classroom? Do you really think you’re that pretty?"
Pu Sangzhi was no shrinking violet and wasn’t knocked over by Cai Yiwen’s push.
Just then, Huo Feng, who had been hiding in a corner, stepped forward.
He reached out and pulled Pu Sangzhi, but his pull actually caused her to lose her balance, and she stumbled against him.
Pu Sangzhi thought to herself at that moment: Did he do that on purpose?
After Huo Feng suddenly entered the scene, Cai Yiwen’s momentum was visibly weakened!
The most obvious reaction was Cai Yiwen retreating two steps, her gaze fixed on Huo Feng, her pupils filled with panic...
"Who are you bullying? Who the hell are you bullying!"
Huo Feng raised his hand as if to slap Cai Yiwen, but before he could strike, Pu Sangzhi grabbed his hand first, pressing it down.
"Huo Feng, don’t get involved."
Pu Sangzhi was afraid that Huo Feng would start a fight, so she held him back immediately, "I can handle this."
Then, she stood up straight again, facing off against Cai Yiwen whose demeanor had significantly weakened...
"Classmate, I’ll say it again, the reason I wanted to discuss this privately with you was to bet on your character. I’ve always believed that the spirit of Longxiang School is good and that the morality of the students wouldn’t be too poor. Also, I never thought of troubling the teacher with this matter."
Pu Sangzhi took a breath, and said solemnly and sternly, "But your attitude now has scrapped the idea of a peaceful negotiation. So next, I will report this to the teacher, ask the teacher to help me get my money back. And I will tell the teacher, you’re in a relationship, you and your boyfriend have colluded and taken money that’s not yours! If worse comes to worst, I can still call the police. I have many legal ways to deal with this. Because of your attitude, I no longer want to resolve this amicably!"
"By what right do you call the police? What right do you have to call the police?"
Cai Yiwen’s anger flared up instantly at Pu Sangzhi’s words, "What did I do that you should call the police? I spent my boyfriend’s money! The card was given to me by him! Even if you were looking to vent, you should be looking for him!"
Pu Sangzhi countered, "Fine, now you’re even selling out your boyfriend. This just shows how despicable you are in both actions and character! You don’t deserve to be a student at Longxiang! And you’re certainly not worthy of your boyfriend!"
"Applause!"
As Pu Sangzhi finished speaking, Huo Feng began clapping for her on the side.
Even though he hadn’t spoken a word, that simple act of clapping was enough to boost Pu Sangzhi’s morale significantly!
Cai Yiwen instantly deflated like salted mustard greens, her bravado gone, her face pale as paper...
Just then, out of the class 9 classroom of second grade, Han Feiyi suddenly walked out, bursting into the scene between the three, and pulled Cai Yiwen away!
When Han Feiyi gripped Cai Yiwen’s hand, Cai Yiwen’s was trembling, visibly putting her at a disadvantage at the moment.
Indeed...
Pu Sangzhi’s words contained legitimate points and carried a significant threat.
Han Feiyi glanced at Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, then turned her gaze to Cai Yiwen, urging, "Yiwen, stop making a scene, apologize to the others."
"I..."
Just minutes ago, Cai Yiwen had been insulting Pu Sangzhi and had never expected the tables to suddenly turn on her.
The reversal happened so quickly that she couldn’t bring herself to lower her pride in an instant.
"Apologize!"
Han Feiyi gave her a look, "It’s just over 400 yuan; do you really want to make a big deal out of this? If we involve a teacher to mediate, you’ll end up having to pay back the money as well as apologize in front of the teacher! You have to apologize!"
Reluctantly pursing her lips, Cai Yiwen’s nose tingled with the sting of injustice, and her eyes turned red, "But I didn’t find the card, and I didn’t spend all the money. I only charged a bit over 200 yuan, and that too with Jiahui and the others. How can you make me compensate for this..."
"You still have to apologize first!"
Han Feiyi stared intently at Cai Yiwen, her eyes filled with determination, insisting that Cai Yiwen heed her words, "You insulted someone just now, you have to apologize!"
At this, Cai Yiwen felt even more aggrieved, "I was standing up for you, Feiyi..."
Han Feiyi squeezed her hand more tightly, "Apologize!"
"I..."
Cai Yiwen was at this point overwhelmed with both grievance and distress, with no way out.
Looking from Han Feiyi to Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, Cai Yiwen’s eyes brimmed with tears, and she looked as though she was about to cry from being bullied.
The two showed no intention of leaving, especially Pu Sangzhi, who held out her open palm, "Return the money, apologize!"
Upon seeing this, Cai Yiwen shook with anger, frozen in place, her mind too numb to react.
It was Han Feiyi who took the initiative to take out her wallet and counted out 500 yuan, breaking the deadlock.
"I’m sorry, I’ll apologize for her."
Stepping forward, Han Feiyi handed over the 500 yuan and nodded in a gesture of goodwill, "We’re all classmates, let’s make a big deal small and let the small deal drop."
Pu Sangzhi received the 500 yuan from Han Feiyi, counting each bill and even holding it up to the sun, carefully verifying the authenticity of the banknotes.
This action was deliberate on her part, aimed at mocking Cai Yiwen.
This move embarrassed Han Feiyi and left Cai Yiwen biting her lip in humiliation.
Pu Sangzhi put away the 500 yuan, then turned to Huo Feng and reached out her hand, "Lend me 54 yuan to give her change."
Her straightforward request for money from Huo Feng took him by surprise, his eyes displaying astonishment.
He hadn’t expected Pu Sangzhi to ask him for money so naturally, as if a girlfriend were asking her boyfriend!
And so, Huo Feng promptly took out his wallet, retrieved 55 yuan, and placed it in Pu Sangzhi’s hand, "I don’t have any change, give her 55 instead, the extra 1 yuan to shame her."
Pu Sangzhi handed over 55 yuan but said, "She doesn’t get a yuan extra! Why should she? Give me 1 yuan change!"
Han Feiyi took the 55 yuan and glanced at Cai Yiwen, "Do you have 1 yuan?"
Clearly unwilling, Cai Yiwen dug into her pocket, pulled out a yuan, and stuffed it into Han Feiyi’s palm.
Han Feiyi then passed the single yuan to Pu Sangzhi.
This way, Pu Sangzhi finally reclaimed the 446 yuan that had been spent from her meal card.
But there was still one thing Pu Sangzhi hadn’t let out.
So, Pu Sangzhi continued to demand an apology from Cai Yiwen, "I want you to apologize for calling me a ’vixen’!"
"You! You’ve called me a dog too!"
Cai Yiwen was infuriated, her eyes glaring fiercely.
But as soon as she glared, Huo Feng stepped forward, his aura fierce like a wolf, causing Cai Yiwen to step back two paces... completely cowed!
Pu Sangzhi insisted, "Apologize!"
Han Feiyi also persuaded Cai Yiwen, "Stop being stubborn, apologize to her."
Under the pressure of the situation, with no other choice, Cai Yiwen muttered a hasty "Sorry."
