Chapter 7: Fight
  "Wang Jing, you can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. If you dare to spread rumors and slander me again, don't blame me... you're welcome." Fang Qing stared at Wang Jing coldly for a long time, only turning away after she trembled and sat back in her chair.

  Fang Qing's behavior brought complete silence to the classroom. The students, frightened by Fang Qing's cold and eerie expression, fell silent. Wang Jing's mind was filled with Fang Qing's cold gaze, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.

  Fang Qing picked up the books on his desk and strode to the back of the class. He chose a seat by the window, away from the other students, wiped it twice, and sat down confidently.

  Only then did the students slowly react. The whispers of the girls in the front row gradually turned into a full-class discussion. Only when the teacher entered the classroom did everyone quiet down.

  They thought the matter was over, but during lunch break, Fang Qing encountered trouble again.

  She packed her lunch and placed it on the table. She went out to get a glass of water, and when she returned, she found her desk and chair overturned, her food spilled all over the floor, and her books soiled.

  Fang Qing looked around the classroom with a sullen expression, seeing Wang Jing, Huang Lili, and several unfamiliar female students standing together, talking.

  Seeing her squatting down to pick up the scattered books, one of the short-haired girls stepped closer, crushed her lunch box with one foot, then glanced disdainfully at the soup-stained sole of her shoe. She then rubbed her hands on Fang Qing's scattered homework books, then tilted her head and looked at Fang Qing provocatively.

  "You're Fang Qing, you're quite pretty. I heard you've been toyed with by many people. Someone as despicable as you isn't worthy of sitting down to eat with us, so just lie down on the floor and eat."

  Fang Qing raised her head with a sullen face, her fists clenched tightly. "Take your foot away."

  "Oh, look! Miss Fang is angry! I'm so scared... Tsk, I won't take it away, what can you do?"

  Another girl stepped forward, arms folded, and stared at Fang Qing. "It's not our fault. It's really just that having someone like you around is ruining our mood. How about this? If you kneel down and kowtow to us a few times and yell that you're a bitch, we'll let you go. How's that?"

  Fang Qing didn't answer, but simply glared at the people before her. Her already beautiful face flushed with anger, making it even more beautiful. This made the girl standing behind her even more jealous. She came over and spat at Fang Qing.

  "Bah! What are you looking at? How dare you stare at us? I'll beat you to death!"

  Seeing the slap about to land on Fang Qing's face, the surrounding students turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch.

  These girls were the top students in the first grade, known for bullying those without connections. Lately, they'd somehow gotten in cahoots with Huang Lili, a classmate from the same class. It looked like Fang Qing was in for a fight.

  "Bang!" the girl covered her face, staring at Fang Qing in disbelief. After a moment, she burst into tears. "Bitch! How dare you hit me? Big sister, beat her up!"

  Seeing the girls finally find an excuse, they lunged at her with fierce expressions. Fang Qing couldn't stand it anymore. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and swung a chair at them.

  By the time the homeroom teacher arrived, the classroom was in shambles: desks had been toppled and twisted, several girls lay bruised and battered, and the two in the middle were still fighting.

  "Stop! Both of you, stop! What are you standing there for? Go and separate them!"

  Just as Teacher Zhang was about to step forward to separate the two, another girl suddenly pulled a knife from her pocket and swung it at Fang Qing's face!

  "Stop!"

  A strand of black hair fluttered down, and Fang Qing ducked her head to avoid the blade, but a large section of her hair was cut off, but she also managed to break free from the man's restraint. She grabbed the man's wrist and slammed it against a nearby table and chair. As the dagger fell to the ground with a clatter, Teacher Zhang's heart finally settled.

  In the office, the head teacher, Teacher Zhang, was suffering from a headache.

  "Which class are you girls from? Why are you here? And the three of you! You all look so quiet and well-behaved on weekdays, but what happened today? You even resorted to brawling in the classroom? You're quite capable! I've really impressed you! Tell me, what happened? Tell me one by one!"

  Wang Jing and Huang Lili exchanged a glance, then gave the girls a warning. They shouted in unison, "It was Fang Qing who hit us first!"

  Fang Qing seemed to have expected this. She glanced at them without surprise, then calmly looked at the head teacher, "Yes, it was them. They knocked over my lunch box first and then threatened me to kowtow and apologize. When they couldn't beat me, I beat them up."

  "The teacher lied! She was the one who bullied us. We were so kind as to eat with her, and yet she beat us like this. Teacher Zhang, you must see justice for us..."

  Huang Lili's tearful complaint intensified Teacher Zhang's already agonizing headache. Although she had already investigated and confirmed that the girls had indeed been the first to bully Fang Qing, and that Fang Qing had been forced to fight back,

  considering that the girls had also been severely beaten by Fang Qing, she simply wanted the students to apologize and reconcile, and let it go.

  However, word of the incident somehow reached the parents of the students, and early the next morning, several of them stormed the school, threatening to beat Fang Qing until they'd let him go.

  "Nonsense! This is school, not a place for them to act so violently. How can you, as a homeroom teacher, not even resolve such a minor matter?" The principal paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, and ultimately gave Teacher Zhang only three days to resolve the matter swiftly.

  Teacher Zhang was so worried she couldn't eat. After much deliberation, she decided to invite all the parents to the meeting, hoping to reconcile privately. However, she never anticipated how the situation would spiral out of control.

  Seeing the bruised faces and noses of the other children, Fang's mother realized her daughter had indeed been a bit harsh, but if they hadn't gone too far, why would she have provoked them?
  So Fang's mother proposed that the children apologize to each other, and she would pay for the other children's medical expenses.

  But most of these parents are uneducated and speak the same curse words as women on the street. When they heard what Fang's mother said, they were even more obscene and had no restraint at all.

  "Shameless, your whole family is a jerk! You hit someone and still want us to apologize, bah! You are really not good people!"

  "You still need to apologize? My daughter is going to be a leader in the future. Can you afford it?"

  "A bitch is a bitch, your daughter is a slut, get out of school right away and don't let it affect our child's studies!"

  After enduring for a long time, Fang's mother finally got angry.

  "You want compensation, we can beat you up! But if you dare to say nonsense to my daughter again, I will tear your mouths off!"
