Lily can't bear Jessie's aggressiveness. She can do nothing but to put the book down, put her backpack on and leave. After all, she had no one else to rely on but only herself.
Linda thought Jessie had gone too far. She cannot tolerate this. "How could Jessie forbid Lily from reading or borrowing a book in the library? And the reason she stated cannot even hold water. Most likely, it was because someone chose Lily over Rosy.
Why Jessie is so angry about that? Why would she meddle in someone else's business?"
Today's situation reminded her of her first encounter with Sarah in the Public Security Bureau. Back then, Bun hit Sarah pretty hard.
The two situations were so similar that Linda smiled innocuously.
She stood up when Lily was about to leave, "Wait, don't go yet."
Lily turned her head. She was a little confused. So was Jessie. She frowned, "Well, You want to be a hero?"
Linda replied indifferently, "Not really."
"Mind your own business." Jessie warned.
"Let me offer you a solution. You said that she made some noise when you were reading, right?" Linda asked, smiling.
"What solution?" Jessie was a bit surprised.
"Do you know the library regulations?" Pointing at the notice on the wall, Linda continued, "All the students of Q University can read and borrow books for free with their student cards. You don't have the right to ask her to leave."
"So you want to meddle in this matter?" Jessie stood up and walked towards Linda.
She noticed the two scars on Linda's forehead. But she didn't recognize Linda because of the face mask. What she recognized was the clothes that Linda was wearig.
Isn't it the clothes for the servants of the Nalan clan? Jessie often visited Rosy's home, so she knew what the servants there wear.
"Can't you understand what I said? You answer the question. Okay?"
Looking into the clear eyes of Linda, Jessie whispered to her, "You'd better stand aside. This woman offended Lady Rosy in your clan."
"Our clan?" Linda smiled. She realized what Jessie meant the moment she looked at her own clothes. This quilted jacket was quite comfortable, she thought.
"Come on... As the best friend of Lady Rosy, I can tell from your jacket that you are the servant of the Nalan clan. Whom do you serve?" Jessie's complacence amused Linda...
"I have come up with a solution, my lady. How about hearing me out first?"
"Go ahead then."
"Considering that you insist that this lady was noisy.... Why not you go away? Out of sight, out of mind. Isn't it the right thing to do?"
"What's your name? Do you want to get fired?"
Jessie intended to talk in a kind manner. But she got mad at Linda's words. She hit the table angrily and yelled.
"You are so arrogant... Who gave you the right to find fault with others here? This is a public place, not your home."
