Chapter 99 - 99: Exposing Her Weakness To Show Her Strength

"Girls, in the eyes of a girl who is deeply in love, her man would always be the best. Right?" Marie intervened.

"Right. We could tell that she's really in love with her special person. How I wish I would find mine when the time is right for me." Guo Xiaolan said.

It was very evident in her actions since Kim Eunji's eyes sparkled when she described Nathan.

"Then it's settled. Young Master Ling had no chance on her. That's good. At least, there would be less trouble for her. No one would get jealous. However, someone should keep their man on check." Yun Mei said as she saw Ling Bao approaching their table.

Yes, Ling Bao's indeed a good looking man. In fact he topped the visuals of the male student population at Imperial University. However, it was not hidded that he had his share of temper. And he didn't want to accept any rejection from anyone. His group was known to be a group of low-key bullies. They didn't deliberately show in public how they'd bully their targets.

Of course, coming from second generation influential families, they could do what they wanted but they have to make sure that their actions would not ruin their family's reputation.

Those who knew and had experienced it first hand could testify how terrible of a person they really were.

Not a good group to associate with.

When the girls finished eating, they decided to go back to their respective dorms so they could start their day. However, before they could even stand up, Ling Bao's group also stood up and approached their group.

"Hi ladies! Our Young Master Ling wanted to have a word with the beautiful Miss Kim. Miss Kim? Please come with us." Friend 1 who was named Young Master Xu spoke first.

"I'm not going to talk to him. I already made myself clear last night. Therefore, there's nothing for us to talk about and I don't owe him anything." Kim Eunji said in a loud voice which was loud enough for Ling Bao to hear in the opposite table.

"No Miss Kim, I think we still have an unfinished bussiness to take care of." Ling Bao smirked as he looked at her.

Kim Eunji sighed when she saw him acting like an a**hole. "Well, Mr. Ling. If you don't understand human language, do you want me to talk to you in alien way?" Kim Eunji seriously said which made everyone in the room to giggle in amusement.

"No one dared to refuse me Miss Kim. You know about that right?" Ling Bao decided to use his influence in this school to intinidate her and make her obey him without knowing that Kim Eunji was a type of person who never get intimidated with just anyone.

"You can try Mr. Ling. However, your tricks won't work with me. And besides, why are you so eager to talk to me. Is it because of my appearance? You think I'm beautiful right? No. Scratch that...I immediately became a hot topic just because of my so-called visual. But let me ask you, if I don't look like this, would you still bother talk about me?" She looked around to see everyone's faces looking towards her.

Then she looked at Ling Bao who was about to say something but was cut by her. "Would you still bother to approach me that time Mr. Ling? Would you still bother to seek for me even if you're already with Jin Li Rong?"

"Let's talk about beauty, shall we? What makes me beautiful in your eyes aside from my appearance?" Kim Eunji asked. But it was also her who answered her own question.

"See? I don't think you have any answers at all." Kim Eunji said.

Ling Bao was uttered speechless after she finished. He had no words to answer her question.

Everyone thought that Kim Eunji was already done, however, on the next second everyone gasped when Kim Eunji did something unexpected.

Kim Eunji knew that her face would rather bring her trouble than peace.

Therefore she decided that she should reveal to everyone the 'kind of ugly scar' in her forehead.

**Gasped!** Everyone gasped when she removed the plaster in her forehead.

She kind of expected this reaction from everyone.

"See? All of you could not believe it right? Yes, I am already disfigured. I got this scar from an accident. I don't have plans on revealing this to everyone. But since my external appearance would cause me trouble, then I think it's just right to show this to all of you. I'm sorry to shatter your expectations towards my beauty everyone."

"Come on! You could mock me now! Bully me if you wanted to. I'm now ugly in your eyes, right?"

The scar was not that ugly as it actually looked like. In fact, if she would continue applying that cream for two more weeks, the scar would almost be inexistent by that time. However if letting it stay for a while, what more for years would help her have a peaceful and normal university life just like the rest, then, she would not apply the cream for the span of two years.

Everyone, especially women placed appearance as one of their priorities and would even do the extra mile just to get a healthy, glowing and beautiful skin. Our girl was no exception to that.

But now, she realized that wearing this scar for two years was not a bad idea, too. Since everyone would treat her normally and no one would say in her face that she's beautiful.

Revealing this scar to everyone was like showing off her vulnerability to them. However, she didn't care about any of it.

What she cared now was how she's going to finish her education earlier than planned so that she could finally be with her man.

Also, showing off her scar to everyone had a double purpose. She wanted to be an example to those students who were unconfident because of their insecurities.

That she...the person whom they thought the most beautiful girl in this school had her fair share of insecurities. Even so, she was still confident and unafraid to show it to the world.

Being one of the few people who saw that scar Guo Xiaolan immediately rushed towards her and gave her a warm hug.

"It's okay EJ. They would never dare bully you. I would make sure of that." Guo Xiaolan reassured her.

"Are you satisfied now?" Fu Rong also came in her defense as she fiercely looked at Ling Bao.

"Because of you, EJ would be the new subject of mockery and bullying at school. Young Master Ling, I'm really disappointed with you."

Iris who had been watching the entire time had a mixed feelings about it.

She was sure that the accident happened just recently since it was not there when Kim Eunji was still staying in QPRC. She wondered on who did it. She wanted to know so she could punish the person responsible.

"Thank you guys. However, I'm not that weak to be easily bullied by them...Especially him." Kim Eunji paused as she pointed him with her index finger and continued, "Now that I'm ugly Mr. Ling, I hope that you would no longer approach me. I'm not interested to whatever you wanted to say or discuss with me." She sighed as she recalled of something.

"Also, involving the topic of family won't work with me Mr. Ling. After all, I am an orphan and I'm not afraid of anyone. And for the sake of peace, put your fiancé on a leash so that she won't bark at me just like what happened last night."

Kim Eunji then held Iris' arm and said, "Let's go? I suddenly got tired. I wanted to rest." Kim Eunji did not wait for them to react and dragged Iris away from the cafeteria.

"Mistress always remember that you'll always be beautiful in my eyes." Iris immediately whispered to her.

"Aigoo! why do you sound like you're actually flirting with me?" Kim Eunji whispered to her.

"I didn't mean it to sound like that, EJ. I'm sorry." Iris immediately defended herself. But still she could not help not to be shy and blush hard.

"I know. I'm just trying to mess up with you." Kim Eunji admitted right away.

"Okay." Iris nodded.

"Geez! This whole drama made me want to eat ice cream. Can we look for some ice cream shop around here?"

"I thought you wanted to rest because you're tired?" Iris suspiciously asked her.

"Yes, I'm tired...but not on a physical level. I had pa good sleep last night, so...why should I be tired?"

"It does make sense, EJ. Then... was that only an excuse so that you could leave earlier?"

"En! Gosh! Talking sense to someone who won't even listen to you is really draining!" She emphasized.

After a moment of walking, they saw an ice cream shop which had just opened.

Kim Eunji's eyes lit up and she immediately dragged Iris inside the store.

Who would like to eat ice cream at such time of the day?

Kim Eunji.
