When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 353 - 53: Can’t You Tell? I’m Trying to Cheer You Up (Part 3)

Tang Yanqi went through the thesis twice more, organized the outline again, and stared at the computer for over two hours, her eyes feeling a bit tired. Only then did she stop and take her cup outside to get some water.

"Hey, did you see the photos on the school forum?"

"I saw them, I really don’t know what tactics were used to climb into Mr. Sheng’s car, it’s truly disgusting."

"Exactly, Mr. Sheng is married. I heard that Mr. Sheng protects the Tang Family’s daughter very well and doesn’t let her appear in public, just to prevent her from becoming a public enemy. It’s incredibly considerate."

Tang Yanqi stood at the door of the water room, listening to the discussions inside, feeling speechless. This was still a school, how could it be filled with gossip everywhere.

"These days, some people just don’t respect themselves, acting all aloof on the surface, but in reality... tsk tsk, becoming someone’s mistress. Does she really expect Mr. Sheng to marry her and make her Mrs. Sheng?"

"That’s impossible. A prince marrying a Cinderella is a fairy tale, in reality, a prince still marries a princess."

"Who knows, maybe she wants to marry him with a child in tow. Being someone’s mistress, is there anything she wouldn’t do?"

Tang Yanqi shook her head, pretending as if she hadn’t heard anything, and walked in.

The people inside saw her, their expressions changed, but soon returned to normal, glancing at Tang Yanqi before quickly taking their water and leaving.

They were Tang Yanqi’s classmates, just not very familiar.

"Ouch, who was that, walking without looking?"

Tang Yanqi was only halfway filling her cup when she heard sounds of an argument from outside. She wasn’t someone who liked to meddle, but coincidentally the voice was Bai Xue’s.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it."

"What do you mean you didn’t mean it, the water I just got is scalding. Look, it’s all red."

Tang Yanqi frowned, turned around and went out, only to see the person who had just been gossiping about her glaring angrily at Bai Xue.

Bai Xue had always been gentle, with a hint of timidity in her character. Seeing Tang Yanqi, her instinctive reaction was to seek help: "Tangtang..."

Tang Yanqi walked to her side, glanced at the classmate’s hand, and smiled slightly: "Hello classmate, this is the library, it’s not suitable for arguing to avoid disturbing others. Let’s take you to the school clinic."

The person on the other side looked resentful but didn’t seem to want to make a big deal out of it, snorted coldly: "Who’s going to the school clinic, we have lots of things to do, unlike you, who have backing."

With that, she glanced at Tang Yanqi disdainfully and turned into the bathroom to rinse under cold water.

"Tangtang... I’m sorry."

"It’s okay, let’s go."

Tang Yanqi returned to her seat, completely indifferent to what had just happened. She needed to look up some materials for her thesis, got up to find a book, and then on her way back, tripped over something and lost her balance, falling forward to the ground, her knee hitting the ground, instantly causing a sharp pain.

She heard scattered laughter around her. Turning back, she found the two people who had just had an unpleasant encounter with her sitting in the chairs behind her.

She wasn’t foolish, it was clear who had tripped her.

Sometimes human nature can be like this, in this big library, there are many people studying, everyone watching the commotion, not a single person came to help her up.

Perhaps the fall had been a bit hard, her knee hurt terribly. Tang Yanqi tried to get up, but her leg had no strength, stumbling once again.
