Chapter 41 — The Legendary...

"It's really unexpected. Qiu Lingshan, that famously cold beauty, would actually do something so ingratiating. Once a woman's heart is stirred, any woman can change." Shen Yushu was deeply displeased. If it had been anyone else, she would not have been so angry, but it just had to be Qiu Lingshan.
Shen Yushu and Qiu Lingshan had grown up in the same compound. Because both were very pretty, they had been the center of attention in the compound since childhood. But Qiu Lingshan was a little older than Shen Yushu and had matured earlier, so she also drew more attention from the boys.
But compared with her, Shen Yushu was more like a ***. The boys in the compound mostly looked after Shen Yushu like a little sister, rather than admiring her the way they admired Qiu Lingshan. Though Shen Yushu did not care for their admiration, the feeling still annoyed her greatly.
That was one reason. The second, and the reason Shen Yushu hated Qiu Lingshan most, was that her own brother was one of Qiu Lingshan's admirers. Shen Yushu would never forget her brother's sense of loss after Qiu Lingshan rejected his confession.
Qiu Lingshan, that girl, had actually declared arrogantly that she would not choose a man weaker than herself. That was what had driven Shen Yushu's brother, Chen Yuming, to join the army.
"Xiao-shu, you're so indignant—could it be that you've fallen for that Wei Zhao?" Gu Mengyao finally caught a whiff of something and asked Shen Yushu doubtfully.
"Me? How could I ever like him?" Shen Yushu found it absurd herself—it was simply too ridiculous a notion.
"Since you don't like him, then stop bringing him up all the time. It annoys me every time you mention him." Gu Mengyao could not tell what exactly was bothering her. Was it because she had tasted Wei Zhao's saliva? Because she had seen Wei Zhao's **? Because Wei Zhao had touched her hand?
All of that seemed so distant now, no longer so important. In the bank today, that instant when those large hands had pressed her down—compared with that, everything before no longer counted for anything.
Yet Gu Mengyao's heart was simply blocked up with something, a feeling most unpleasant.
……………………
In the hospital room, Qiu Lingshan's face burned red. This time it was finished—especially since that little wretch Shen Yushu had seen it. Now she need never return to the compound; she would not have the face to go back at all.
The version of her that passed through that girl's lips would surely be even more disgraceful—perhaps no different from some ** girl.
Looking at the author of all this lying on the bed with such an innocent expression, Qiu Lingshan truly wanted to blow his head off with a single shot. It was all this creature's fault—what had possessed him to scream like that? At the thought, Qiu Lingshan could not help but say venomously: "Wei Zhao, what exactly are you trying to do? With you screaming like that, how am I ever to face people again?"
"I say, miss, people say big breasts, no brains. I didn't believe it before, but today I've finally witnessed what 'big breasts, no brains' really means." Wei Zhao sneered.
"What do you mean by that? What did you say?" Qiu Lingshan, her sore spot struck by Wei Zhao, flew into a rage at once, rising to her feet and pointing at him, her chest heaving with fury.
