Tang Beibei didn’t like Xin Wei, not only because of what she had said to Song Kai previously, but also because she always played with her phone and chatted with her friends while in Professor Chen’s office.

Professor Chen liked silence. He had frowned at her a few times and Tang Beibei couldn’t stand it.

“I’m just giving you a suggestion, not ordering you around. Junior Xin Wei, aren’t you afraid of disturbing others with your loud voice?”

“Who are you to give me suggestions?” Xin Wei said with conviction and arrogance.

“You’re also Professor Chen’s student. Why can you come once a week just because you have something to do, but I must come twice a week?”

“Cleaning is your job because you work part-time here. I’m just here to study, not to be a maid. Why should I do the cleaning for you?”

Tang Beibei laughed in frustration. “I do work part-time here. If I don’t come, I won’t get paid. This is my business. However, when Professor Chen asked you to do such a small thing, you can refuse if you don’t want to do it. You don’t have to say anything about being a maid.”

Xin Wei frowned in disdain and looked at her newly manicured nails.

“I don’t even do housework at home. Besides, cleaning will ruin my nails. 1 don’t want to do it.”

Tang Beibei was so frustrated that she took a deep breath. She couldn’t communicate with Xin Wei at all.

She said to Professor Chen, “Professor, 1’11 continue to come twice a week.”

She was willing to do this even if she didn’t get paid.

Professor Chen frowned and stared at Xin Wei coldly. This girl felt that sweeping the floor here was being a maid.

He said, “Xin Wei, don’t come here anymore. You are of no help here. It’s pointless.”

He didn’t want her here mainly because she was an eyesore.

Xin Wei disagreed. “Professor, I still have to come. You’re my mentor after all.”

Professor Chen waved his hand. “1 can’t afford to be your mentor. I’ve made you suffer by asking you to be a maid. Please find yourself another mentor. 1 will speak to the principal about this.”

Xin Wei was a little flustered when she heard that Professor Chen wasn’t going to be her mentor.

“Professor Chen, that’s not what I meant. I’m just not used to it. If you want me to do it, I’ll do it.”

Professor Chen pointed at Tang Beibei and said, “You don’t have to do it. Your senior, Tang Beibei, does it better than you!”

Xin Wei glared at Tang Beibei angrily. Did she make fun of her because she was worried that she would steal her resources?

What a despicable b*tch!

“Professor Chen, you can’t do this. I…”

Professor Chen was at his limit. He didn’t want to argue and waved to dismiss her. “Get out!”

Xin Wei didn’t read people well. She just didn’t want to be pushed out by Tang Beibei and continued to argue, “Professor Chen, 1 can talk with you and translate for you. Don’t be angry with me just because someone tried to sow discord.”

When Professor Chen heard her pushing blame, he pointed at her angrily. “Does someone need to sow discord for me to drop you? You really think too highly of yourself. Get out, scram!”

Xin Wei’s self-esteem couldn’t take it when someone told her to her face to scram.

“Fine. You’re not much of a mentor anyway. You have such a bad temper and order people around. You don’t respect your students at all. Hmph!”

Tang Beibei was a little angry when she heard Xin Wei being so rude to Professor Chen. She wanted to teach her a lesson, but she heard Professor Chen say, “Quarreling with stupid people is a waste of your time. If you have time, you might as well read more books. Books are good; they make people smarter.”

Seeing that he was furious, Tang Beibei did not dare to say anything more and sat down obediently.

Professor Chen was in a terrible mood. He felt like he had something stuck in his throat. He called the principal immediately and said that he would not mentor Xin Wei anymore.

The principal tried to plead for mercy, but Professor Chen lost his temper and scolded the principal.

“I only asked her to sweep the floor and she said that I don’t respect her. I’m a bad person and 1 don’t deserve to be a teacher. I’ve been teaching for so many years, and this is the first time I’m so angry that I want to hit someone.”

“If Principal also feels that I’m not worthy of being a teacher, you can fire me. But 1 will not take Xin Wei as a mentee anymore. She can find a better mentor.”

Tang Beibei shrank her neck when she heard Professor Chen’s angry scolding. She wanted to disappear.

After her shift was finally over, she quickly said goodbye and left with her bag.

She only dared to take deep breaths after she walked out of the teaching building.

She took out her phone to discuss with Ruan Qi about going to the dance studio, but someone slapper her phone away.

“Tang Beibei, you chase me away to keep your position. You’re too much!”

Tang Beibei quickly picked up her phone. Fortunately, it was a good phone and the screen wasn’t broken.

“Xin Wei, are you crazy? You’re the one who disrespected Professor Chen, yet you put the blame on me.”

Xin Wei sneered. “If you hadn’t provoked me on purpose, Professor Chen wouldn’t have chased me away. You b*tch, 1 won’t let you off easily!”

Xin Wei pointed at Tang Beibei’s nose as a warning before she made a cool turn to leave. However, in the next second, someone kicked her knee. She staggered and fell to the ground with a bang.

Tang Beibei was speechless.

Xin Wei turned her head in shock and saw that it was Song Kai. She complained, “Senior Song Kai, you, why did you do this to me?”

Song Kai sneered. “What’s the big deal when you scold someone pointing your finger at their noses? If you are really capable, get up and fight me.”

Xin Wei stood up and rubbed her knees. Her eyes were red from the pain.

“Senior Song Kai, she was the one who harmed me. Besides, who are you to kick me!”

Song Kai walked up to Tang Beibei and leaned his elbow lazily on her shoulder. “She is my Junior Beibei. She’s not someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully.”

“You…” Xin Wei felt wronged. “Senior Song Kai, I’m also your junior, right?”

Song Kai replied, “The only female junior I acknowledge is Tang Beibei. Who do you think you are? You are just someone the principal forced down Professor Chen’s throat and you’re still so proud of yourself.”

“Sigh, Xin Wei, extinguish your evil thoughts. You’re jumping up and down like a rat. It’s disgusting!”

“You!” Xin Wei pointed at him and was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She started crying angrily and scolded, “Song Kai, you’re bullying me!”

“You said that you are a maid if you cleaned Professor Chen’s table. Did you eat your brain, or did you not bring it with you when you left the house? All Professor Chen’s mentees would start off by doing small things before they could do big things.”

“I’ve done the sweeping and cleaning and so has Tang Beibei. You’re a freshman, so you should do it too, but you’re shamelessly pushing this onto Tang Beibei.”

Xin Wei felt ashamed. She wiped her tears and limped away.

Tang Beibei quickly shook off the man’s arm and took two steps back.

“Thank you, Senior Song Kai.”

Song Kai felt a stab in his heart when he saw her avoid him. He was very unhappy.

“Why are you avoiding me? 1 won’t hit you.”

Tang Beibei cleared her throat and explained, “Senior Song Kai, you’re engaged. We should keep our distance.”

Song Kai smiled bitterly. “You saw that press conference?”

“Part of it.”

Song Kai looked longingly into her eyes and asked, “Are you angry that I’m engaged to Lu Linlin?”

“Why would I be angry?”

“Lu Linlin has hurt you before, but 1 got engaged to her. Are you going to unfriend me?” Song Kai’s tone was a bit apprehensive.

Tang Beibei chuckled and shook her head. “No, you are still my Senior Song Kai. You made the decision yourself. You must have your reasons. I’m not angry but I’m a little worried.”

“Senior Song Kai is very outstanding, but Lu Linlin did that thing to me. I’m afraid she’ll do something bad to you too.”

“But Lu Linlin likes you, so she probably won’t do anything overboard.”

Song Kai looked at her in surprise. She was actually worried about him.

Did he still have a place in her heart?

“Beibei, if back then, 1…”

“Beibei, let’s go!”

Song Kai wanted to ask her what if he had pursued her back then, would she have accepted him?

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by another man. He frowned and turned to look at the man who spoke..
