223: How Did She Get Disfigured

How Did She Get Disfigured

Of course, she remembered that this was the place!1

That was why she had thought to eat here. However, she could not have answered truthfully, since that would make the rascal angry again.

"What do you want to eat? The breakfast here is pretty good." Mu Xiaoxiao cleverly changed the subject.

She had already ordered wontons, steamed dumplings, and soy milk. With plenty of options available in this breakfast shop, she did not know what he wanted to eat.

The breakfast shop was just outside Shangde, a school for the rich. Thus, though the breakfast shop appealed to plain folks, it naturally did not look too cheap with its clean decor.

Moreover, there were quite a number of students coming here!

Yin Shaojie did not feel like looking at the menu and simply said, "Order the food for me, okay?"

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Meat," Yin Shaojie uttered.

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Eating meat early in the morning? Isn't it too oily?

Glancing at the menu, she picked two dishes that came with meat and added soy milk for him.

Yin Shaojie frowned slightly and said, "I don't want soy milk."

"I've already ordered it! Take it or leave it, hmph!" Mu Xiaoxiao said deliberately.

At this moment, two girls walked in and sat not far from them, but they had not noticed the two.

Mu Xiaoxiao overheard their conversation, and she listened in nosily.

"Days ago, didn't Year One's Bai Meijiao get itching powder on her face? I heard that it's really serious now. It seems that she's going to be disfigured."

"It can't be? It's only itching powder. How can it disfigure someone?"

"That's what you call just deserts! That's what you get for hurting other people. She might have added some poison into the mix; otherwise, how did it become so serious?

"I remember when she entered Shangde, she had been pretty, and her face had been fair. Heh heh. Now… I'm really curious how she looks like after the disfiguration.

As she heard this, Mu Xiaoxiao subconsciously turned her eyes toward Yin Shaojie.

Would Yin Shaojie not understand her?

He could already tell what she was thinking with just a glance at her expression.

He nonchalantly curled his lips and said, "It wasn't me."

Mu Xiaoxiao stared blankly for a moment. Afraid that people may hear her, she said in a softer voice, "Huh? It wasn't you who did it?"

She had said that she did not want to know how he was going to punish Bai Meijiao, so she did not ask him about it.

Thus, when she heard their conversation, she instinctively thought that he had been the one who had done it.

But he said that he was not responsible for it.

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly shuddered as she thought about what she had just heard. She was stunned as she looked at him and said, "Could it be… that the itching powder really had poisonous ingredients?"

If that was the case, then it was clear that Bai Meijiao's intent had been to disfigure her.

Yin Shaojie sneered coldly and said, "She had already hired people to kill you, so there's nothing that she will not do."

Mu Xiaoxiao felt chilly inside as she let out a helpless sigh.

"Okay, stop mentioning her. It's spoiling my appetite! I said I will deal with her," Yin Shaojie looked at her and said.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."

From that day onward, Bai Meijiao had not appeared in Shangde again, as the school expelled her on the grounds of her bad character.

Their breakfast was served.

Yin Shaojie looked at it disdainfully. He had not been to such an establishment to have breakfast due to his high social status.

However, the two girls from that table suddenly called out.

"Look! I heard that Mu Xiaoxiao was actually the one who poisoned her, resulting in Bai Meijiao's disfiguration. There was nothing mixed into the itching powder initially."
