C9 Watch Me Tear Your Mouth Apart!

Huo Mengmeng was unfazed by Leng Huaiqing's exit. Propping herself up, she grabbed her phone, ready to vent to her best friend Zhao Xi about the heartless, cold demon.

But to her surprise, Xiao Anan had somehow caught wind of her hospital stay and, forgoing sleep, had actually shown up at the hospital in the middle of the night.

Bursting into the room and seeing Huo Mengmeng's pale face propped against the bed, Xiao Anan's eyes gleamed with ill-concealed triumph as she burst into laughter.

"Weren't you so brave when you were throwing punches? Now you're in the hospital because you're scared of being expelled? Let me tell you, hiding here won't save you from expulsion!"

With that, Xiao Anan snapped a photo of Huo Mengmeng on the bed and shared it with the group.

She followed up with a voice message: "Check this out, the bastard kept by some rich guy is so scared she's in the hospital. What a chicken! Hahaha!"

Huo Mengmeng had no desire to stoop to Xiao Anan's level of ignorance.

But Xiao Anan was pushing her luck, not just fantasizing but also calling her a bastard kept by some rich man?

The moment those filthy words hit her ears, a frosty chill swept through Huo Mengmeng's clear eyes, turning them steely.

She could handle being talked about behind her back.

She could even handle being mocked.

But there was a line that should never be crossed.

And for Huo Mengmeng, that line was her identity.

Everyone has parents, and even if she was adopted by the Leng family, she was still born to her own parents. Was she to be branded a bastard just because her parents had died?

Her gaze darkened as she silently threw off the covers and slid out of bed.

Seizing the moment while Xiao Anan was gleefully boasting in a WeChat voice message, Huo Mengmeng showed no mercy as she stepped forward and delivered a resounding slap to Xiao Anan's face!

The slap, followed by a swift "Swish," was broadcasted to the group.

The group erupted into chaos!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

A string of doubtful inquiries popped up on Xiao Anan's phone screen.

But she had no time to address them. By the time she realized she was being struck, her cheeks were already ablaze with a stinging pain.

Clutching her reddened, throbbing face, Xiao Anan exploded in anger, "Huo Mengmeng, have you lost your mind? Why would you hit someone without any provocation? You belong in a mental institution!"

"Without any provocation?" Is that how you use that phrase?

Xiao Anan had called her a "bastard." Didn't she have the right to defend herself and set the record straight?

Huo Mengmeng gave a cold smile and rolled her eyes at Xiao Anan, "Maybe you should spend more time reading instead of flaunting your ignorance like it's a personality trait. You're just making a fool of yourself!"

"What did you just say? You actually dare to call me ignorant?" Xiao Anan was livid, yelling, "I was the top debater at last year's school debate competition! And you? You're nothing!"

"Why don't you mention how your father's company donated a hundred thousand to sponsor last year's debate competition?"

Huo Mengmeng's offhand remark pierced right through Xiao Anan's fragile ego.

The title of best debater was nothing but a purchase made by her father for a hundred thousand!

It was an open secret, but having Huo Mengmeng publicly reveal the truth was too much for Xiao Anan. She felt humiliated and was so enraged she nearly choked on her own fury.

With her face flushed, Xiao Anan, beside herself with rage, lifted her hand and swung at Huo Mengmeng without a second thought.

As she did, she shouted, "Huo Mengmeng, for all your lies, I'll rip your mouth to shreds!"
