A Monstrous Company

Xia Xibei remained quiet and allowed Cui Tong to cry in her embrace, not saying a word.

Only after Cui Tong had completely vented her fear and anger did she sit up straight.

"Thank you, Bei," Cui Tong said, choking up, her eyes red.

"It's nothing," Xia Xibei smiled, "We're friends, right?"

"If it weren't for you, I would have..." Cui Tong trailed off.

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Xia Xibei shook her head. "It's all in the past now, everything's okay."

Cui Tong bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, it's all in the past." 

She took a few deep breaths to expel all her pent-up frustration.

She would leave it all behind now!

She wouldn't let it haunt her, nor would she react to these scumbags!

However, she still found it unbelievable. 

"Why are Zhao Jinqin and his friends… So monstrous?"

Cui Tong had contact with Zhao Jinqin and his friends before and thought they were decent little juniors.
