Chapter 332- Benefiting From The Situation? (占了好处?)
Thankfully, the stone had already traveled quite a distance and lost most of its original force, only hitting the guy’s leg.
If this was just your ordinary bad-mouthing, Jing Yun Zhao could’ve chalked it up to jealousy and ignored them. However, since they threw such a large rock at her, she couldn’t leave the matter be any longer.
“Are you done causing trouble? Miss Shan Shan, I have no enmity with you, so why are you trying to murder me?” Jing Yun Zhao said in a cold voice.
Truth be told, when Ji Shan Shan threw the rock, she was also scared that Jing Yun Zhao would be seriously injured. However, seeing not much trouble was caused, she immediately regained her gusto, “How did I try to murder you? The rock didn’t even hit you!”
“Also…” Ji Shan Shan said as she arrogantly walked towards the person hit by the rock, grabbed his arm, and turned him towards Jing Yun Zhao as she continued, “He’s my brother!”
The meaning behind her actions and words were obvious.
Although Ji Shan Shan had acted against her, she hadn’t physically harmed Jing Yun Zhao. Instead, not only did she fail, she accidentally attacked her brother in the process. With that said, since the victim and the perpetrator were part of the same family, and Jing Yun Zhao was a mere ‘bystander’ in this. If the victim didn’t pursue this matter, what right did Jing Yun Zhao have to speak up in this situation?
Jing Yun Zhao was starting to become irritated, yet in the blink of an eye, she smiled and replied, “So what you’re saying is that you’re not at fault since you didn’t hit me. Even if you had aimed it at me, you’re still not wrong?”
“You’re not even injured, if you want me to apologize, sorry not sorry, but that’s not happening!” Ji Shan Shan hurriedly refuted.
From the beginning of the confrontation till now, Cui Jun stood beside Ji Shan Shan with a proud look in his eyes, but he chose not to say anything.
Seeing the current situation, Jing Yun Zhao was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it just a matter with our rooms? Is it worth so much of their resentment?
At this moment, the other three couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Ji Shan Shan, if it weren’t for the fact that she dodged, the rock you threw would’ve smashed her head, you should apologize…”
“This is everybody’s first time meeting each other, there’s no need to quarrel so fiercely…”
However, hearing their words of advice, Ji Shan Shan turned her head away, unresigned, “No! I won’t apologize! I’m not at fault!”
Jing Yun Zhao always believed that there was a reason behind a person’s hatred, and that the hatred of a person wouldn’t simply appear out of nowhere. Additionally, a person’s hatred would originate from various reasons depending on the severity of the matter. One such example would be about the type of room she received. She herself didn’t think much about it, yet Ji Shan Shan had such a weird and unnatural reaction.
However, she wasn’t someone with a soft-natured and yielding personality. If she were to be magnanimous and let this matter go without any repercussions, the opposite party would consider her to be an easy target and continue bullying her.
As she lowered her head, Jing Yun Zhao saw the ground littered with tiny stones and bent down to pick them up.
“Since you considered this matter to be irrelevant, then you should try being on the receiving end of it. After all, no harm no foul right?” Jing Yun Zhao taunted. Finishing her words, she threw a rock straight towards Ji Shan Shan’s head.
The moment Ji Shan Shan saw the stone flying towards her, her mind went blank as she was stunned with fright. Ultimately, it was Cui Jun who pulled her to the side to avoid the stone.
The stone flew past and hit the ground, leaving a hole in the ground.
The ‘boom’ produced by the thrown rock caused Ji Shan Shan’s scalp to tingle, as Cui Jun shouted, “Aren’t you going too far?!”
“Am I now? Remember, it was her who said that she wasn’t in the wrong since the rock she threw didn’t hit me.” Finishing her words, Jing Yun Zhao continued throwing stones.
Ji Shan Shan felt that every single stone thrown was flying straight towards her head, and when she expected the stone to hit her head, it would fly past her ears, allowing her to hear the noises left behind by the stone as it cut through the air!
“Stop!” Cui Jun shouted as he quickly brought Ji Shan Shan into his embrace to protect her from the rocks, as he continued, “The previous matter was her fault, and I apologize on her behalf. However, you’ve received plenty of benefits and you’re simply taking advantage of the situation now! So stop being so petty!”
Jing Yun Zhao paused momentarily as she thought, Benefits? Taking advantage of the situation? When did I do any of those?
