"Where are my things?" Zhu Linjia's excited voice rang out again.
She rushed over and shook me vigorously.
"Are you crazy? Did you ask me for your things?" I pushed her away forcefully, and she staggered backwards.
"Then where is my luggage? There's my LV bag and Swarovski jewelry inside!" Zhu Linjia looked at her other roommates.
"Why are you looking at me? It's not me who lost them." The roommate, who was caught by her gaze, quickly clarified.
"Lost? Where did they go?" Zhu Ma caught the keyword and stared at that roommate.
"Well, they were thrown into the trash bin outside." Jiang Nan seemed unable to withstand the pressure and finally spoke.
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Linjia rushed out of the dormitory.
Soon after, a scream echoed throughout the entire girls' dormitory building.
Zhu Linjia returned with a bunch of treasures she had just picked up from the trash bin, with an imposing manner.
"Whoever the hell threw away my things! Show yourself, have the guts to admit it."
The others dared not speak, only Jiang Nan's gaze drifted towards my direction.
Evidently, Zhu Linjia caught her meaning.
"In the previous life, you must have been an evil spirit, and in this life, you've become a broomstick. You help yourself to other people's things without asking, and you dare to throw them away!"
"Oh! Is that yours?" I pretended to be surprised and spoke.
I explained to the dormitory supervisor who had hurried over due to the commotion.
"I didn't know those belonged to Zhu Linjia, I just saw a bag on my bed when I arrived. I thought it was the previous roommate's trash, so I threw it away. After all, who would have the audacity to leave their things on someone else's bed? We all have our faces and upbringing. How could anyone do such a thing?"
"Auntie, I really didn't know that the bag of trash I threw away became this student Zhu's treasure."
"It's this student and her mother who came and wanted to take my bed as soon as they arrived. They started cursing as soon as they opened their mouths. I didn't dare argue with them alone."
I explained the situation to the dormitory supervisor in detail, feeling wronged.
"You are the one without upbringing, you..." Perhaps unable to bear her teammates' stupidity any longer, Zhu Linjia's mother manually muted her.
"There is no such thing. Our Linlin has a weak body and just wanted to exchange beds with her classmates. But Xiaodeng refused. We let it go. It's probably a misunderstanding on Xiaodeng's part, nothing serious." Zhu Ma skillfully blurred the lines using ambiguous words.
"My health is not good either. The doctor told me to live in a sunny place for the sake of my health!" I imitated Zhu Ma's words and blinked at Zhu Linjia.
Moral blackmail, who doesn't know how to do it?
Hearing this, Zhu Linjia stared at me with a malicious look, and suddenly, her gaze changed.
"Auntie, I don't blame Deng Sui for throwing away my things, I just want my bracelet back. Deng Sui, can you return my bracelet, please?"
"It's my favorite bracelet. Moreover, it's worth several thousand. If I report it to the police, they will definitely arrest you." Zhu Linjia's eyes were full of malice.
I remained silent, enjoying this scene with great interest.
"This female student said she lost a bracelet. What does it look like? Did any of the other dormitory mates see it?" The dormitory supervisor furrowed her brows and performed her duty.
"Auntie, there's no need to ask the other students. My bracelet was always in my bag, but the bag was thrown away by Deng Sui from the beginning. Now the bag is still here, but the things are gone. If it's not Deng Sui who stole them, then who else could it be?" Zhu Linjia finished speaking and provocatively glanced at me.
"Xiao Deng, it's not a big deal for young people to make mistakes. It's good as long as you realize your mistake and change. Auntie will let Linlin forgive you. We won't let the school punish you because ofthis." Zhu Ma intervened, trying to resolve the situation.
I maintained a calm expression and looked directly at Zhu Linjia.
"Zhu Linjia, I didn't steal your bracelet, and I didn't throw away your bag intentionally. It was an honest mistake. If you want to report it to the police, go ahead. I have nothing to fear because I didn't do anything wrong."
Zhu Linjia's face turned red with anger, but she couldn't come up with any evidence to support her accusations.
"Auntie, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. I just want my bracelet back. If Deng Sui can return it to me, I'll let it go." Zhu Linjia's voice was filled with a hint of threat.
I smiled confidently and replied, "Zhu Linjia, I don't have your bracelet, and I won't be intimidated by your threats. If you want to involve the police, be my guest."
The dormitory supervisor intervened again, trying to mediate the situation.
"Enough, enough! Let's not make a big fuss about this. Zhu Linjia, if you don't have any evidence, it's unfair to accuse Deng Sui. Let's just drop this matter and move on. Everyone should focus on their studies."
Seeing that her plan was not working, Zhu Linjia reluctantly gave up.
"Fine, let's drop it. But remember, Deng Sui, I'm watching you."
I smirked and replied, "I have nothing to hide. Watch all you want."
From that day on, Zhu Linjia and I became sworn enemies. She tried to make my life difficult, spreading rumors and gossip about me. But I remained composed and focused on my studies, refusing to let her affect me.
In the end, I graduated with excellent grades and secured a job at a reputable company, while Zhu Linjia's petty actions only harmed her own reputation.
Life has a way of balancing things out, and karma has its own timing.
