Jiujiu suppressed her anger and said, "What if I say that it's not true?"
"How is it not true?" After the call, Mo Li lay down on the bed. Seeing that Jiujiu was denying it, she poked her head out and said nonchalantly, "The news of you receiving donations has already been reported on TV. How is it not true? Besides, would you have sold the house if it wasn't for money?"
Mo Li's eyes were filled with suspicion. However, she was already certain that Jiujiu was someone who would sell her house for money.
Jiujiu did not want to stoop to Mo Li's level. However, Mo Li was so overbearing. If she were to show any signs of weakness, it would mean that she had admitted that she had sold her parents' house for money.
Tang Yaxin was clearly the one in the wrong. Why should she be the scapegoat? Besides, she had donated all her savings. Why should she admit it?
Jiujiu stood up and looked into Mo Li's eyes. She said sternly, "Mo Li, you're slandering me."
"Wow, things are different now that you have money. Why? Are you going to sue me?" Mo Li laughed arrogantly, as if she was certain that Jiujiu would not be able to do anything to her.
Jiujiu nodded when she saw Mo Li's smug face. "I'm going to sue you."
A look of helplessness flashed past Mo Li's face. After a while, she recalled what Tang Yaxin had said to her and continued, "Sue me then. Do you think I'll be afraid of you?"
Mo Li had thought that those who could get into A University would at least have some brains. Who knew that Mo Li would be so stupid?
Jiujiu could not be bothered to waste her breath on Mo Li. She pressed the end button on her phone and played the recording.
The recording started with Mo Li saying that Jiujiu had sold the house for two million dollars and was only willing to give Tang Yaxin 550,000 dollars. The recording was very clear at the end. Mo Li could even hear the disdain in Mo Li's voice after Jiujiu said that she was going to sue her.
Mo Li thought that Jiujiu was just casually saying that she was going to sue her. Who knew that Jiujiu had recorded it? She instantly panicked.
For her to be able to say those words, she naturally knew that Jiujiu had money. Moreover, if she was forced into a corner and Jiujiu really sued her, what would she do? Even if she did not suffer any losses in the end, she would still have to go to court.
At the thought of going to court, Mo Li, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, instantly.
She had said that Jiujiu had a bad character, but that was only because she was on good terms with Tang Yaxin. She listened to Tang Yaxin and stood up for her. However, being on good terms with Tang Yaxin didn't mean that she was willing to go to court for Tang Yaxin. Besides, Jiujiu had the recording. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive the first round. Even if she didn't go to jail, she would still be detained and punished. At the thought of this being written on her record, Mo Li was instantly terrified.
Mo Li's face was full of sarcasm and mockery just a moment ago, but now that Jiujiu said this, she laughed dryly and looked at Jiujiu timidly. She said softly, "I was just joking."
Jiujiu raised her head and glanced at Mo Li. She sneered and said, "I'm not joking."
She was determined to sue Mo Li.
How could a person who hung out with a selfish and vicious woman like Tang Yaxin be a good person? Even Tang Yaxin could bite her back, so why couldn't Mo Li? If she let Mo Li off today, Mo Li might mention this to others again in a few days. She might even gloat and say that she didn't dare to do anything to her even though she said it in front of her.
Once she said that, wouldn't it prove that Jiujiu was guilty and didn't dare to do anything to her?
If Jiujiu didn't sue Mo Li today, her reputation would spread throughout A University tomorrow.
One should know that the most important thing in university was not to study, but to build a good relationship with your classmates. After all, your classmates could very well be your future colleagues, bosses, or business partners.
As long as one was human, one would only want to work with those with a good character. After all, if you were to work with someone with a bad character, who knew when she would betray you? If Jiujiu's reputation were to spread, no matter what she wanted to do in the future, it would be a problem.
When Mo Li was badmouthing Jiujiu just now, the others in the dormitory acted as if it had nothing to do with them. Now that Jiujiu wanted to sue Mo Li, the others in the dormitory instantly spoke up. "It's just a small matter. Mo Li knows that she's in the wrong. Just forget it."
The person who spoke up was Jiujiu's top bunk, He Bing.
He Bing was lively and sociable. Even though the military training had just started, she already had several suitors.
Jiujiu glanced at He Bing and said coldly, "It's her business that she knows that she's in the wrong. It's my business if I want to sue her. Does it have anything to do with that?"
He Bing didn't expect that Jiujiu wouldn't give her face even after she had spoken up. She was instantly displeased. Pursing her lips, she continued, "We're all from the same dormitory and we'll be together for four years. If you sue Mo Li now, what are you going to do for the next four years?"
University classes were all in the same hall. You might not even be able to recognize all your classmates after a semester. Hence, your dormitory mates were still the closest to you. What He Bing said made sense.
However, even though it did make sense, Jiujiu didn't want to buy it.
Yes, your dormitory mate was the one who spent the most time with you in university. However, the problem was that Mo Li didn't like Jiujiu at all. If she could say such things in front of Jiujiu, who knew what she would say behind Jiujiu's back?
Moreover, she might even use the fact that I'm Tang Yalan's roommate to make others think that she's telling the truth when she's spreading rumors and creating trouble.
It wasn't impossible for such things to happen.
Moreover, most people nowadays were the type who didn't care about things that didn't concern them. Even if they knew that their own people weren't like that, why would they defend themselves when they weren't related to them?
Three people made a tiger. Even if it wasn't true, Mo Li would say it so many times that it became true.
He Bing wanted her to give up on suing Mo Li and let her off by saying that Mo Li already knew she was wrong and that she should forgive her. However, if Mo Li spread all kinds of rumors and caused damage to her reputation because of her giving up this time, everyone would blame Jiujiu. Who would let her off then?
Therefore, although He Bing's words sounded reasonable, they were actually nonsense.
If you gave up your principles and chose to forgive her because you were from the same dormitory, she wouldn't be grateful to you. Instead, she would think that you weren't scary because you didn't have principles. In the future, she would repeatedly step on your bottom line. If you forgave her the first time, if you didn't forgive her the second time, everyone would think that you were petty.
Some things could be forgiven, but some things couldn't be forgiven.
This wasn't a matter of whether Mo Li knew she was wrong or not, but a matter of principle.
