Chapter 1761 Everyone Hates An Outstanding Person
Yasmin had never felt so embarrassed before.
With Ian’s unrelenting reprimands, topped off with the astonished looks of the crowd in the library, all she wanted to do at the moment was to find a hole to crawl and hide.
I only took a glance at his laptop. Is there a need for him to have such a reaction?
She grew frustrated.
“I didn’t touch your laptop. It’s just that someone gave you a video call, and it’s affecting the other students here. That’s why I wanted to turn it off for you.”
“You could’ve just shut the laptop!” Ian, whose rage was still burning, retorted.
At once, the library fell into a deafening silence.
Yeah, that’s true. She could’ve just shut the laptop if it was noisy. Why fiddle with something that doesn’t belong to her? Is that girl dumb? Or is she trying to invade his privacy?
The crowd threw their stares toward Yasmin again.
Her face turned scarlet as anger consumed her.
Without uttering another word, she clenched her fists tightly as she glared at Ian, then returned to her desk, packed her stuff, and hurried out of the library.
Very well. Remember what you did, Ian!
Nonetheless, Ian could not care less about how the situation had turned out.
That afternoon, after finding some finance-related books, he accepted a project by the Hayes Corporation on his laptop.
Coincidentally, or perhaps not, that project was in the same city.
Caleb: Mr. Ian, According to observations, developments are still possible for that building. So, other than clinching the deal, you have to think about its development plans. Is there any problem for you?
Ian: It’s fine.
He merely responded with two words as he stared intently at the map of the commercial district surrounding the building that Caleb had sent over.
Caleb: All right. If there are any other matters, feel free to contact me. Also, I’ve arranged for Ms. Myers and the others to assist you in work.
Ian: Mm-hmm.
After adding the contacts of his new assistants, he left the library as he realized it was time for his afternoon class.
That class was a foundation course. In fact, Ian did not have to bother himself about attending such classes. But that afternoon, when he entered the lecture hall, he noticed that everyone had sat together even though it was not a huge crowd.
After he entered, he noticed the empty seats at the back.
“You’re saying that guy scolded our ice queen at the library?”
“Yeah, everyone at the library saw it. How can anyone not know who the ice queen is? She’s our goddess, someone who is so precious to us. And him? He’s just a new transfer student. What right
does he have to do that?”
“Exactly!”
When the crowd saw Ian making his way in, they immediately gave him a pointed glare and deliberately displayed an enraged expression.
Nonetheless, Ian walked to the empty seats with his backpack, paying no attention to their behavior.
And he was perfectly contented with that.
“Look; he’s really sitting there all by his own.”
“Yeah, don’t you guys think he’s a weird dude? He never talks, and neither does he mingle with us. Perhaps there’s something wrong with him?”
“Transfer students like him most likely have some problems. I observed him during the two classes this morning, and I noticed that he doesn’t even know what lessons are supposed to be like.”
Hearing the comment someone made, everyone immediately turned to Ian again and shot him their mocking-filled gazes.
“What are you guys saying? Don’t spout nonsense. I’m warning you!”
Right then, a round-face girl, with her hair tied up in a bun, trotted into the lecture hall. Hearing the intense chatters among the crowd gossiping about Ian, she knitted her brows and chastised them.
It was Zaylynn.
The group dared not say another word upon seeing her presence.
Following that, she cheerily carried her backpack and walked up to Ian.
“Ian, you’re here. Look what I’ve brought for you. Your aunt and I made a trip to the supermarket at noon, and this is what she got for you.”
Instead of taking her books out, she passed the box she was holding onto in her hands as soon as she sat down.
It was a box of cake, or more specifically, Ian’s favorite chocolate lamingtons.
Since Ian did not finish the spaghetti during lunch earlier, Susan was worried he would get hungry and, hence decided to go to the supermarket to buy him the cake.
Hearing that it was from his aunt, his grim expression turned slightly better as he took the cake over.
Of course, Zaylynn was overjoyed.
Not long after, the professor arrived. Earlier that day, Zaylynn had sounded Susan out regarding Ian’s interests. She also learned that the thing he hated most was getting interrupted while doing something.
As such, she sat through the entire class quietly, without making any noises while beside him.
But just as things seemed fine, troubles came. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Everyone, this question is slightly more complicated. I wonder if you guys grasp what I’ve explained? Do raise your doubts if anything is boggling your mind.”
“Sir, I think you should ask the new transfer student, Ian, to see if there’s anything he is unclear of.”
