C2 Get out of the Way a Good Dog Doesnt Block the Way!

Fourteen years ago, Huo Mengmeng's father tragically passed away. No one knew who took her in, but it was evident that she was well-cared for, never lacking in food or clothing. Curiosity piqued, some tried to delve into her past, but their efforts were in vain; it was as if her history had been meticulously concealed, shrouded in mystery. Over time, without any concrete answers, the rumor mill began to churn.

Huo Mengmeng's beauty only fueled the fire, and before long, the gossip had taken on a life of its own. Yet, Huo Mengmeng remained unfazed by the whispers and speculation. She understood that people would talk regardless, and it was none of her concern. After all, responding to a dog's bite with a bite of your own is hardly sensible.

Walking with her head held high, Huo Mengmeng cast a cool glance at Xiao Anan, who was obstructing her path, and said with irritation, "Move aside; a good dog doesn't stand in the way!"

"Who are you calling a dog?!" Xiao Anan snapped back, visibly upset.

With a mocking smile, Huo Mengmeng retorted, "How interesting, a dog that understands human speech?"

Xiao Anan, realizing she had been baited, was livid, her face turning a shade of iron blue, yet she was powerless to respond. The thought that her crush could fancy such a despicable woman made Xiao Anan feel it was her duty to expose Huo Mengmeng's deceitful facade and reveal her true nature to him.

Taking advantage of her entourage, Xiao Anan broke into an uncharacteristic smile. With her arms folded across her chest, she stared down Huo Mengmeng and taunted, "What's the matter? Upset because a wealthy suitor discarded you and now you want to take it out on me? Let me remind you, my father is a School Board Member. In this school, you don't have the authority to tell me where I can or cannot stand!"

Huo Mengmeng could only scoff at such an unfounded sense of superiority. A sharp note of scorn flashed in her dark eyes. Engaging in a dispute with someone so senseless was beneath her. Instinctively, Huo Mengmeng stepped back, ready to turn and walk away from the pointless confrontation.

Before she could fully turn away, an unexpected force yanked at her arm from the side.

A taunting voice followed, "What's the matter? Struck a nerve, so you're trying to bolt? Come on, we're all classmates here. Share with us what it's like to be kept. We're dying to know."

As soon as the words were out, a wave of jeering laughter filled the air.

"Huo Mengmeng, you've already done the deed, why be shy about it now?"

"Exactly, spill the beans. It's not like you'll be any less for it!"

Confronted with Xiao Anan's relentless provocation, Huo Mengmeng's eyebrows shot up, her gaze icy.

With a forceful tug, she freed her arm from Xiao Anan's grip and issued a stern warning, "Xiao Anan, don't assume I won't lay a hand on you just because your dad's on the school board!"

Xiao Anan's response was to laugh even louder, "Huo Mengmeng, who do you think you are? Nothing but a rich man's mistress, and you have the nerve to talk big? I'm standing right here. If you're brave enough, go ahead and hit me!"

At home, Huo Mengmeng had to play the role of the obedient girl under someone's oppressive control.

But she was far from the cutesy image her name might suggest; she was more akin to a little wild cat with claws ready to strike!

It was a first for Huo Mengmeng to see someone so eager for a fight, and she didn't hold back, her hand flying up in a fierce slap.

But before her palm could meet Xiao Anan's cheek, her wrist was caught.

Who dared to interfere?

Huo Mengmeng's brow furrowed, only to hear Xiao Anan's voice, tinged with excitement.

"Senior Brother Zicheng, I knew you cared for me! You wouldn't just stand by and let this little tramp bully me!"
