Chapter 43 Ugly Duckling's Rise to Power: She Squeezes Out the School Beauty and Becomes a Coup
Mu Wanwan didn't believe in evil spirits; he could just sit idly by and watch her cry for help.
"That'll teach you to yell like that!"
She was kicked again, and screamed in pain.
Ye Xingchen had just passed the intersection when he heard someone calling for help, so he quickened his pace and ran over.
It's after school, yet these people dare to bully students in broad daylight. The girl surrounded by them huddled in a small ball, trembling.
A girl with dyed yellow hair stepped out from the crowd, her face showing arrogance and unruliness. She forcefully shoved Ye Xingchen, striking a pose like a female thug, and loudly proclaimed, "So it's our school heartthrob!"
Her words were full of teasing: "Hey, school heartthrob, I advise you to go somewhere cool and stay there. We're just a few girlfriends fooling around. Don't meddle in girls' affairs."
At this moment, Ye Xingchen stood against the setting sun, and the sunlight cast a sacred and dazzling halo behind him, as if he were wearing a golden coat.
His tall, slender figure was stretched long by the setting sun, resembling an unyielding mountain peak. A gentle breeze stirred, causing his hair to flutter slightly, making him appear even more elegant and free-spirited. His eyes, deep as the night sea, revealed a firm and unwavering light that moved everyone who saw them.
"You two don't seem like friends to me!" His eyes seemed to see through everything.
"They're trying to steal my money!" Mu Wanwan's voice trembled and came from behind them in a very soft voice.
The blonde woman turned around and glared at Mu Wanwan, telling her to shut up.
Then, the blonde woman smiled and casually brushed her blonde hair behind her head.
"What robbery? The older sisters just wanted to borrow some money from this little sister. It's a loan, not robbery! Don't talk nonsense, little sister!"
Mu Wanwan actually spat directly on her face, but she couldn't do that now, she was so angry!
Ye Xingchen didn't believe the blond girl's nonsense and said seriously, "Borrow? I think this is clearly blatant robbery!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was powerful enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
The guy is quite handsome!
Ye Xingchen lowered his head slightly, his face calm and composed, without any ripples.
He held a stack of books tightly in his long, strong arms, his eyes searching around, and quickly found a relatively clean spot where he carefully placed the books in his arms.
This was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.
The girl surrounded by the crowd was thin and petite, like a flower trembling in the wind, pitiful to behold. She looked terrified and trembled incessantly, like a frightened fawn.
However, why does this person feel strangely familiar?
Ye Xingchen didn't have time to think much. Without hesitation, he quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket, his movements practiced and nimble.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his phone and started snapping photos of the group of troublemakers in front of him, the shutter clicking incessantly.
After taking the photos, he raised his chin, a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes, and coldly said, "If these photos appear on the school forum, do you think you'll be able to graduate smoothly?"
The woman with dyed yellow hair and her companions were dumbfounded. They never expected Ye Xingchen to use such a trick. It was simply insidious and cunning!
The blond-haired girl quickly protested, "Student Ye, this student is our good friend. She just tripped and fell while walking. Besides, she often lends us money. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Mu Wanwan, who had been keeping her head down, looked up in astonishment. A voice came from beside her ear: "Master, this group of people always stops you on this path and robs you every now and then. This is not the first time it has happened today."
She frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a while, she slowly asked, "Piggy, what will they do to me if I don't give them money?"
Upon hearing this, Piggy coughed lightly, a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness appearing on her face.
It hesitated for a moment, then finally answered softly, "Well... the situation might not be so good. At best, you'll get punched and kicked, leaving you with bruises and scars; at worst, they'll strip you naked in public, subjecting you to extreme humiliation. That's why they can get money from you!"
Mu Wanwan was startled and her heart trembled as she thought to herself, "My God! How can college students these days be so barbaric and rude?"
It's important to understand that Sichuan University is one of the top three universities in the country, not some second-rate, low-ranking institution. Yet, even such a prestigious university has managed to infiltrate such despicable and disgusting individuals.
Mu Wanwan grew increasingly disdainful of the girls in front of her, whose hair was dyed in vibrant colors like parrot feathers; they were just relying on their families having a little money.
What's astonishing is that these wealthy girls shamelessly went to her to ask for money; this behavior is a classic example of bullying the weak.
Ye Xingchen's deep, pool-like eyes shot straight at the girls, his gaze like two sharp, cold beams that pierced their hearts with unstoppable force.
Those cold yet sharp eyes seemed to possess some kind of magical power, as if they could instantly see through the most hidden and unknown thoughts in their hearts.
Then, something unexpected happened—Ye Xingchen's lips curled up slightly, forming an extremely cold smile.
Along with that cold laugh, he let out a cold snort, and then slowly said in an unusually firm and warning tone, "Get out of here now!"
After saying that, he strode forward without hesitation.
As he approached, he bent down and extended his right hand, quietly reaching out to the woman before him.
Mu Wanwan, who had been standing quietly in place, seemed to be frozen in place. Her body trembled slightly involuntarily, and she was instantly in a state of astonishment.
Her beautiful eyes first fell somewhat blankly on the long, slender, and fair hand that had suddenly appeared before her. The hand was outstretched there quietly, as if waiting for her to touch it.
Mu Wanwan's gaze slowly moved up along the arm of that hand, past the thick bangs, and finally settled on Ye Xingchen's stunning face.
His face was exceptionally handsome, yet it also exuded a cold and aloof aura, making people want to get closer, but also worried about being frozen by that coldness.
His high, straight nose, like a majestic mountain peak, stood out prominently in the center of his face. A gentle smile graced his slightly upturned lips, like the warm spring sun melting away the surrounding chill.
His facial features were like a piece of jade meticulously sculpted by a skilled craftsman; every curve was just right, neither too much nor too little. His fair skin, bathed in sunlight, seemed to glow with a faint halo, making him appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.
His exquisitely beautiful features, perfectly combined, perfectly showcased his charm. No wonder he was revered as a god-like face by many girls at school, becoming the prince charming of countless girls' dreams.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw the girl on the ground looking dazed.
He spoke softly, his tone unusually gentle: "What? Don't you want to get up yet?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan snapped back to reality, inwardly cursing herself: How embarrassing! To actually act like a lovesick fool at a time like this.
You have to understand, she used to be someone who worked her way up in the entertainment industry, and she'd seen all kinds of handsome men! But why was she so unable to control herself when facing Ye Xingchen? Thinking of this, Mu Wanwan wished she could raise her hand and slap herself twice to bring herself back to her senses.
Like a startled fawn, she cautiously placed her hand in his palm. The stinging pain from his hand made her want to pull it back as if she had been electrocuted, but Ye Xingchen gently held it and pulled her up from the ground. Perhaps he didn't control his strength well, because she lost her balance as soon as she stood up.
