Chapter 1250 - Return All the Slaps
Chapter 1250: Return All the Slaps
Jiang Bilian covered her face unconsciously, her eyes full of grief.
Xia Yingluo smiled. “Very good, good slap. Ling’er, this slap was really valiant and impressive. I like it.”
Jin Ling’er sang the same tune as her. “Thank you, Chief, for the compliment. It’s just that my partner’s skin is a little too thick and my hand hurts.” She even exaggerated by rubbing her hands a few times. She resented Jiang Bilian to the core and wanted to take revenge on her. Previously, Jiang Bilian had slapped her so many times in public. Now, she was going easy on her by slapping her once only.
Xia Yingluo seemed to see through her thoughts and said seriously, “It hurts? How could you be afraid of pain and suffering when you’re acting? Endure it even if it hurts. You have to be a good role model for the rest of the students—even though your acting just now was very impressive, your partner’s acting was horrible. I really couldn’t watch it. You just have to endure a little bit and practice more rounds with her. It’s also a way of helping your peer improve.”
She was bullying Jiang Bilian while talking in such a righteous tone.
Li Rui simply wanted to laugh out, but all the other students only felt a cold wind blow behind their backs. Such horrible consequences came from offending Xia Yingluo.
When had Jiang Bilian ever been slapped by someone since young? She was unable to endure that one slap already, and at the talk of having to endure more slaps, she said anxiously in hopes of saving her life, “I’m feeling uncomfortable and dizzy, I can’t act.”
“You’re not feeling well?” Xia Yingluo frowned slightly, as if things were difficult on her.
Jiang Bilian nodded quickly, praying in her heart that this little bitch would let her go just this once.
However, Xia Yingluo laughed and turned over to Chu Chen. “Uncle Chu, I remember that the teacher has always taught us that we need to have stamina as an artiste. How could we be artistes if we don’t have good stamina? Why don’t you let Jiang Bilian retire and go back home to rest.”
Chu Chen cooperated. “Your suggestion is worth considering.”
He might not really intend to move Jiang Bilian since Jiang Bilian was still an Imperial training camp’s outstanding student and it wouldn’t be too suitable for her to retire without any reason. However, he was witty and knew that Xia Yingluo needed his support for her words. He simply had to say a few ambiguous words and it was enough to scare Jiang Bilian senseless.
As expected, Jiang Bilian was shocked.
She was just a trainee who had yet to step into society, so how could she possibly compete with Chu Chen, who had been in the society for so long? She had no choice but to back down. “I don’t want to retire.”
“Then practice.” Xia Yingluo smiled schemingly. “Ling’er, continue.”
Jin Ling’er responded happily and gave another slap. The crisp sound rang in the air.
They did the scene repeatedly. Jin Ling’er counted in her heart, and finally stopped when she had slapped Jiang Bilian a total of seven times. She said, “Jiang Bilian, you hit me six times, I’ll return seven to you—the extra slap is to teach you how to behave!”
Jiang Bilian’s face was swollen red. She was angry and awkward and couldn’t say a single thing.
Xia Yingluo’s anger had also dissipated. Jiang Bilian deserved it, who told her to bully her friend first? She asked Jin Ling’er, “Other than Jiang Bilian, who else bullied you when I wasn’t here?”
Jin Ling’er’s gaze swept past the crowd. Everyone she looked at all shrunk their backs and felt a chill run down their spine.
“Forget it.” Jin Ling’er turned and said to Xia Yingluo, “The rest of them are all just accomplices. I’ll just keep them in mind first, and I’ll forget it if they don’t ever make trouble for me again. But if they make trouble for me again, then I’ll double the revenge.” Those accomplices were only Jiang Bilian’s supporters and lackeys and had only been causing trouble by following her blindly, so she found it worthless to be picky with them too.
Xia Yingluo nodded. She really liked Jin Ling’er’s logic.
“Uncle Chu, thank you,” she said, smiling sweetly at Chu Chen. Honestly, she was able to vent her anger so smoothly today all thanks to Chu Chen’s presence. Otherwise, although her second brother’s identity was also prestigious, he was still in the rival’s company and could hardly settle the scores on the students and teacher here.
Chu Chen said, “You’re welcome.”
He didn’t instruct Xia Yingluo to do anything, didn’t claim credit for himself, nor take the opportunity to ask for something. Xia Ling’s children and Imperial Entertainment had a strange relationship, and sometimes, even he could not figure out what Pei Ziheng was thinking, so it wasn’t good to make his own decisions.
Xia Yingluo pulled on her Second Brother’s hand. “Let’s go.”
“Wait.” Li Rui was not satisfied. He was not as magnanimous as them and pointed to a few trainees to Chu Chen and said, “This, this, and this… These few people were disrespectful to Yingluo and made me feel very uncomfortable. I hope the training camp will take care of them.”
The people he pointed out all looked ashen. Who knew this young master would hold such a grudge?
“Don’t, don’t punish us, we know our wrongs!” They were almost crying, afraid that they would be expelled or slapped.
However, Chu Chen said, “You all offended the school year’s Chief and have indeed broken the training camp’s rule. Later, go receive your punishment. It’ll be doubled.”
The school had rules regarding offending the school year’s Chief, and they were either running laps, cleaning the toilet, or write self-reflections, etc. Even if the punishment was doubled, it was still better than being beaten in public or getting expelled. The few trainees were extremely grateful and thanked Chu Chen.
Chu Chen laughed. “Why are you thanking me? I only lightened your punishments because of the guests. Why aren’t you thanking Xia Yingluo and Second Young Master Li?”
The crowd only now came to the realization and quickly thanked them. These two people were the King of Hell, if they offended them carelessly, who knew what kind of method they would use to deal with them?
Xia Yingluo had seized total victory. She linked arms with her second brother and Jin Ling’er, then walked out of the classroom.
“Hahaha, I’ve really vented my anger today!” They didn’t walk for long before Jin Ling’er laughed out loud. “Yingluo, do you know, this day is simply my most soothing day! I’m so happy after seeing those hateful people get their revenge! Hahahaha!”
Xia Yingluo also laughed with her. “Hahaha, don’t worry. I’ll always have your back! Nobody will dare to bully you!”
“You?” Jin Ling’er originally wanted to express her doubts, but at the thought of how Xia Yingluo had totally seized complete victory today, she suddenly remembered another incident. “Oh yes, why are you together with the Li family’s second young master? Second Young Master Li…” She suddenly realized that Li Rui was standing right beside her. His long, slender body leaned on the corridor’s blackboard and he was already laughing at the two of them. Hence, Jin Ling’er said politely, “Hello, I’m really glad to meet you. Our Yingluo didn’t give you too much trouble, did she? She’s a really good person, really.”
Li Rui smirked. “She’s a good person? Are you sure?”
Jin Ling’er was anxious. “Yingluo is really good! I can guarantee that she’s beautiful and kind! Second Young Master Li, please don’t bully her!” She was worried that her good friend would suffer at the hands of the rich young master and quickly came up to compliment her.
