Chapter 8 Jiang Shuyuan rescues

Liu Mengmeng took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

A momentary impulse cannot solve the problem. Only by calming down can you find a solution.

Since Dormitory Manager Li is not afraid of a hard approach, he will definitely be persuaded by a soft approach.

So, Liu Mengmeng lowered her attitude, tried to squeeze out a sincere but stiff smile, and her tone became gentler: "Dorm Manager Li, it's all my fault that I'm young and ignorant and offended you, but we really need this quilt, please sell it to us."

Dormitory Manager Li was pleased to see her take the initiative to give in. His eyes softened a little, but he still said in a cold tone: "Humph, you little girls have bad tempers. You don't know how hard it is for us to be dormitory managers."

Liu Mengmeng lowered her head, put on an obedient look of admitting her fault, and said like a quail: "I was wrong. Please don't hold grudges against me, please."

Dormitory Manager Li glared at her, and finally pointed in a direction: "There is a warehouse over there, and there are quilts in it. But be careful not to damage them."

Liu Mengmeng nodded gratefully and took the overjoyed Qi Zimo to the warehouse to get the quilt.

At this moment, two female disciples from the Xuan class, Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi, came over.

When they saw Liu Mengmeng and Qi Zimo, a mocking smile appeared on their lips. When their eyes fell on the quilts in their hands, their eyes immediately widened.

Zhang Xinyue walked up to the dormitory manager Li and called her affectionately, "Aunt Li, Jiang Shuyuan from our class also forgot to bring her quilt. Can you sell one to us?"

When Dormitory Manager Li saw that it was a student from Xuan Class, he immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "Of course, I will go to the warehouse to find it for you now."

Liu Mengmeng suddenly tried to dissuade them: "Dorm Manager Li, there is only one quilt left in the warehouse. Please let them go back!"

"What? The last one?" Dormitory Manager Li was shocked and said hurriedly, "In that case, I can't give this quilt to you guys in Class Huang. You haven't paid for it anyway. Give it to classmate Jiang!"

As he said that, he was about to grab the quilt from Liu Mengmeng's hand.

Liu Mengmeng immediately protected the quilt behind her, pointed at Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi, and said angrily: "Dorm Manager Li, what do you mean by this? You didn't want to sell it to us just now, but now that you see they are from the Xuan class, you are trying to curry favor with them?"

Dormitory Manager Li looked at Liu Mengmeng coldly and said, "You students from the Yellow Class are just inexperienced. Jiang Shuyuan from the Black Class is my newly adopted niece, so she is naturally an exception."

Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi raised their eyebrows proudly and looked at Liu Mengmeng as if they were watching a joke.

Qi Zimo wanted to speak to comfort Liu Mengmeng, but when he saw her angry look, he swallowed his words back.

Seeing that Dormitory Manager Li was really trying to snatch the quilt, Liu Mengmeng got anxious and instinctively grabbed the corners of the quilt with both hands. She hurriedly said, "Dormitory Manager Li, we bought this quilt first, how can you just snatch it away? The students in your Xuan class don't have quilts to use, why do you have to snatch ours? There should always be a first come first served principle, right?"

Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi laughed at what they heard. Zhang Xinyue said sarcastically, "Wow, students from Class Huang dare to fight with our Class Xuan for quilts? This is hilarious!"

Wu Xi also echoed: "That's right, the students in your class are so poor, I guess you can't even afford a quilt? You should give the quilt to us quickly and stop embarrassing yourself!"

Liu Mengmeng felt extremely humiliated. She knew that Li Dormitory Manager's partiality could not be changed by words. She bit her lower lip tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, but she was still unwilling to give in easily.

At this moment, Jiang Shuyuan's appearance eased the tense atmosphere a little.

"Aunt Li, Liu Mengmeng and the others are also disciples of Chongye Hall. We are all good friends. There is no need to quarrel like this over a quilt." Jiang Shuyuan spoke in a calm tone with clear eyes, and looked tenderly at Dormitory Manager Li.

"Shuyuan, you don't know how troublesome these students in the yellow class are." Dormitory Manager Li complained, but his tone had obviously softened.

Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi looked at Liu Mengmeng with provocation in their eyes.

Liu Mengmeng was so angry at their ridicule that her face turned pale. Just as she was about to retort, Qi Zimo grabbed her arm.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Liu Mengmeng and shook her head gently, indicating that she should not argue with them anymore.

At this moment, a gentle voice came: "Jiang Shuyuan, Liu Mengmeng, what are you doing here?"

Everyone looked up and saw a man in a white robe walking over. He had a calm expression, but there was a sense of majesty between his brows. This was the head of the girls' dormitory, named Gu Lingchen.

"Master." When Liu Mengmeng saw Gu Lingchen, her eyes lit up. She immediately ran over and told him what had happened.

After listening to this, Gu Lingchen walked up to Dormitory Manager Li and said gently, "Dorm Manager Li, we are all students of the Imperial College. It's not a good idea for you to be so partial to us and treat us differently based on our personal preferences."

When Dormitory Manager Li saw that it was Gu Lingchen, he felt a little dissatisfied, but it was difficult for him to refute. He could only frown and say, "I just want to find a good home for these students."

Gu Lingchen turned to Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi and said, "You are students of the Xuan class and deserve better treatment, but you can't ignore the students of the Huang class because of this. How about this, you can go to my room to get the quilts you want, and this quilt will be given to Qi Zimo. Everyone will have one, and there will be no disputes. How do you think?"

Zhang Xinyue and Wu Xi looked at each other. Although they felt a little unwilling, they couldn't refute in front of Gu Lingchen, so they could only agree.

Although the matter was resolved, Liu Mengmeng still felt a little uncomfortable. She understood that in the Imperial College, strength was the most important thing. Only by becoming stronger could she protect herself and her class.

She looked at Jiang Shuyuan and swore to herself, "I will work hard to become stronger. One day, I will make sure that no one can look down on Huang Ban anymore."

After getting the quilt, Qi Zimo breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to Liu Mengmeng, "Don't be angry, they are just a bunch of snobs, don't take it to heart."

Liu Mengmeng glared at him and said in a resentful tone: "Why did you hold me back just now? I could have refuted them."

Qi Zimo smiled, patted Liu Mengmeng's shoulder gently, and said, "Sometimes, silence is more powerful than words. Let them talk, we just need to do our best."

At this moment, Jiang Shuyuan walked towards them and said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, my two roommates were rude and made you unhappy."

Qi Zimo waved his hands repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Sister Jiang, thank you for helping us out just now. We don't know the rules very well, so please bear with us."

Jiang Shuyuan smiled slightly and said softly, "It's okay, we are all classmates, just be considerate of each other. The quality of the students in your Huang class is very good, I believe it will get better and better in the future."

Hearing Jiang Shuyuan's praise, Liu Mengmeng was delighted and said hurriedly: "Senior Jiang, we will definitely work hard and will not let you down."

Jiang Shuyuan smiled and nodded, looked up at the night sky, and said, "It's getting late, I'll leave first. You should go to bed early too."
