‘Close!! Shouldn’t you feel afraid when you see me?’ Shi Guang scoffed coldly in her heart. Sensing the looks of disdain being cast by the people surrounding her, she smiled out instead of getting angry.

With her cold, stoned face in contrast with Yang Sitong’s sobbing, pitiful one, it was easy for everyone around to assume that she was the one bullying the other. Since they had already assumed that, she might as well do it even more boldly.

She took two steps back. “I’m only a mere swimming coach. You are the big missy of the Yang Family–we are not familiar with one another.”

Clearly not expecting Shi Guang to be so straightforward in her words, Yang Sitong froze up momentarily before speaking up, “So, it seems like it was only wishful thinking on my part then. I thought that we were actually friends.”

With that said, she pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.

“Even though the two of us had met a couple of times, we could hardly even be considered as acquainted. You came to greet me out of politeness and I greeted in return. However, there’s nothing much to chat about with someone I’m not familiar with… Hence, it’s only normal for me to want to leave. Yet, you tugged at me asking if I disliked you. You are the big missy of the Yang Family. For you to ask me something like that out of the blue, that is something that I can’t handle at all.”

As Shi Guang continued, she smiled faintly, “I found myself rather speechless as well. After all, with the way you’re behaving right now, no matter what I say, it would come across as though I’m bullying you. But, the problem was that I really just wanted to leave, that’s all!”

The people surrounding looked at Yang Sitong. She was clearly displaying off the look of a pitiful victim where the word ‘grievance’ was written all over her face.

And clearly, that was what they had assumed at the start as well.

The moment she heard that, Yang Sitong’s expression stiffened slightly–she had not expected that Shi Guang would actually pull that off. She could sense that the gazes of the people around were now on her, seemingly waiting to enjoy this spectacle.

In her heart, she cursed at Shi Guang time and again. Initially, she had wanted to display her prowess and scare her off… To think that she would have turned the tables instead.

Acting pitiful was no longer an option. Otherwise, she would really have to act coquettish, throw a tantrum, and pull some convoluted plot once more.

Amongst the crowd, there was no lack of women who had a crush on Lu Yanchen and disliked Yang Sitong.

After all, for a man such as Lu Yanchen who was handsome, classy, and sophisticated… most of the adjectives that could be used to describe the perfection of a man could be used on Lu Yanchen. What sort of women wouldn’t adore a man like that?

Hence, they scoffed out in mockery.

“Really, now! She really thinks that everyone owes it to her now that she’s engaged to the Lu Family.”

“That’s right! Just because the other party doesn’t wish to talk to her, she’s acting all aggrieved and wronged, causing it to seem as though everyone’s bullying her!”

“She’s really just the typical victim actor!”

And of course, there were some of them in the crowd who just plain disliked Yang Sitong.

Wang Caichun was one of them. In the past, Yang Sitong had always used that same move on her as well, acting all aggrieved the moment things didn’t go her way. Because of that, Wang Caichun always ended up looking like a bad person, even though she did not bully Yang Sitong at all.

How annoying was that!

But, this swimming coach here today had Wang Caichun feeling thoroughly exhilarated. In fact, there was even some good vibe in the way she was looking at Shi Guang.

However, the way she looked at Yang Sitong was filled with nothing but scorn as she mocked out, “It’s clear that the other party isn’t familiar with you at all, and yet you’re claiming that she dislikes you just because she doesn’t wish to chat with you, hinting to everyone that she bullied you? Gosh, that’s really way too scary! Everyone, I guess we had better stay far away from SOMEBODY in the future lest you turn into an unreasonable and hated person in a moment of carelessness. What a scheming b*tch!”

Yang Sitong’s expression could not have turned any worse.

This was a mere swimming coach! What rights did she have to have everyone take her side? To think that even Wang Caichun, who was always harsh with her words usually, would side with her!

Filled with rage and hatred, Yang Sitong was so angry that she could almost spit out blood right now…
