A shiver went through everyone present. What would a helpless, isolated woman do? What *could* she do?
"Bao'er, don't say such things!" Li Xiu gripped Zhou Lian's hand tightly, his voice low and firm. He knew his wife was just trying to scare them, but he couldn't bear to hear her talk like that.
Patting her husband's hand reassuringly, Zhou Lian gave a slight smile and said, "You're both girls. I find it hard to believe you don't know how important a reputation is to a woman. What's more, I have a husband and a daughter. My daughter is only eight or nine months old. I don't even know you, and I certainly have no grudge against you. For you two to suddenly act like you want to hound me to my death, what are your intentions? You so-called university students, the so-called pride of the heavens, you've been educated to read and understand reason, but where is your conscience? A talented but immoral menace is worse than a virtuous but mediocre person!"
