Novel Full Chapter 60
Chapter 60 – Self-Righteous (自以为是)
Ye Qing’s eyes were red, having completely forgotten who started all of this. Looking at the expensive dish of leftovers, she couldn’t control her jealousy.
Wasn’t Jing Yunzhao just a parentless orphan?! What right did she have to humiliate her like this?!
“Ye Qing, don’t be like this. We were the ones who sent a dish out first…” Beside her, a girl who couldn’t watch it anymore spoke up to remind Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was a committee member. She usually spoke calmly and kindly, and her personality was pretty good. But who would have known how much she had changed recently. Especially right now, because of one dish, she was screaming and yelling in front of so many people. She was screaming like a shrew. How humiliating.
They were already 15-16 years old. They naturally cared about their reputation. With Ye Qing making such a fuss, who would be able to handle it?
“So what if I sent it first?! There was still a lot left from that dish. But what about her?! Everything was eaten and looks dirty! If you’re speaking up for her, then why don’t you eat it?!”
Ye Qing’s anger was too immense. She snatched the dish from the server’s hands and threw it at that girl. The plate made a crashing sound. That plate of gravy was splattered everywhere. Even the surrounding students got some gravy on them.
Right after Ye Qing threw it, she regretted it. She was just too angry, but she couldn’t take back what she had said. Additionally, she loved face. She turned her head away, acting as if she was still angry.
Everyone couldn’t keep calm after that. It was okay that Ye Qing was mad at Jing Yunzhao but why lash it all out on them?!
They might have eaten Ye Qing’s food and were indeed invited by Ye Qing, but wasn’t it all to celebrate her birthday?
But now, not only were they unable to eat good food, they also got trouble!
“You’re going overboard! Do you really think you’re all that great just because you’re a committee member?! At least Jing Yunzhao wouldn’t put on airs and look down on others! You better apologize immediately. Otherwise, everyone will pretend we don’t have someone like you in our class!” A male student stood up angrily and said.
“You want to ostracize me like you did to Jing Yunzhao? Just who do you think you are?! Don’t forget that what you’re drinking and eating right now was paid by me. What right do you have to lecture me? And what did I do wrong? You’re all here to celebrate my birthday. Why are you speaking for Jing Yunzhao?!” Ye Qing still refused to change.
She was actually afraid, but asking her to lower her head and admit defeat? Not possible.
After she said that, the other students were pissed. Their arguing voices were not soft and attracted strange gazes from their surroundings.
Ye Qing’s face was red, yet she continued to endure.
“Ye Qing, I used to think you had a gentle personality. I didn’t you were actually this kind of person. But Jing Yunzhao was really too stingy this time. Sending a dish is fine, but leftovers? How about this, Ye Qing? Why don’t you order two more servings of Coral Thousand-Flower Abalone for everyone as an apology? We all came out to have fun today. We can’t let one person ruin the atmosphere…” Jiang Xia was known to be a generous and kind person. Even now, he didn’t forget to add a few kind words.
However, his words were not likable. Even the tables beside them couldn’t hold it in.
This boy was still young yet he had a self-righteous personality and was also a little selfish. They were already close to fighting but he was still thinking about that dish. He still wanted to take advantage of the girl.
Of course, Jiang Xia wasn’t thinking like that. He thought that since they were fighting because of the abalone, then they could just solve it with the abalone. It could also show off Ye Qing’s generosity. He wanted to let Jing Yunzhao see that the dish she went through so much trouble to find was nothing in their eyes. They could eat it whenever they want…
