The driver could only look apologetically at Bai Xi and say, "Miss, I'm sorry, my..."
He knew he had done something wrong and spoke with some embarrassment, "There are many cars here, please wait a moment longer. There will be other cars."
As soon as he said this, Bai Xi, though displeased, did not intend to pursue the matter.
After all, choosing a passenger was the driver's prerogative. She could afford the fare, she was just too lazy to educate someone on manners.
In this society, there were many people who did not follow rules. Although she found the woman in front of her annoying, she did not intend to make a big fuss over a trivial matter with someone of low character whom she did not know at all.
Otherwise, she would not be the God of War, but a harbinger of destruction.
"It's fine, I'll wait," Bai Xi said calmly. She then looked behind her. Just as another car dropped off a passenger and returned, she saw it.
The driver looked at Bai Xi with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
But at that moment, the girl sitting in the front passenger seat looked displeased. She raised her handbag and smashed it hard on the driver's head, saying, "Why are you apologizing to her? I paid you handsomely to drive, not to chat with her here."
The handbag was sparkling because it was inlaid with many zircons. Coupled with the metal trim, it hurt quite a bit when smashed onto the driver's head.
The driver was stunned and looked at the woman.
But the woman was relentless. After glancing at him, she then looked at Bai Xi and sneered, "Heh, I see. This is just how you common folk empathize with each other, isn't it?"
As soon as she said this, the driver's anger finally flared. "Miss, you've gone too far. Today, I won't make money, but I won't take someone like you. Get out!"
Hearing the driver say this, the woman's anger ignited instantly. She reached into her handbag and took out more money, "Heh, you won't take me? I understand. Isn't this just price gouging? Here's another thousand. Go now, don't be ungrateful!"
But the driver seemed to have made up his mind, "I've told you, I'm not taking you today, and that's final. Leave now."
The woman directly took off her sunglasses and glared at the driver with her large eyes, which were covered in thick mascara, "Heh, truly ungrateful. I'm taking this car today. I'm warning you, you'd better not mess with me. I am a student of Black Gold Academy this year, and I will be a leader in society in the future. I advise you not to anger me."
After speaking, she raised her handbag again and swung it at the driver. This time, she hit with great force, causing his forehead to bleed.
Black Gold Academy...
Bai Xi knew about this Black Gold Academy. It was a school even more advanced than a university, with a broader scope of study, but it only accepted top talents.
Even with money, one had to pass assessments in every subject to enter this school.
Every year, many students from Black Gold Academy entered the intelligence department.
Previously, she had a very good impression of Black Gold Academy, but... a single rotten apple spoils the barrel.
It seemed that ability and character were not always directly proportional.
Clearly, the moment the woman mentioned Black Gold Academy, a hint of fear flickered in the taxi driver's eyes.
People from Black Gold Academy were all formidable. Those who graduated would undoubtedly become pillars of society. Moreover, these individuals came from good families, as cultivating talent, aside from the exceptionally gifted, required excellent teaching.
Therefore, he really could not afford to offend them.
The driver suppressed his anger and the trampled pride, saying, "Are you heading to Black Gold Academy then?"
Seeing the driver acquiesce, the woman's eyelashes, as thin as fly legs, perked up even higher, her arrogance increasing. "Heh, lower class people are still lower class people. You don't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you only understand your place when I speak harshly? I think you're just a cheapskate who deserves a beating..."
With that, she raised her handbag again, intending to hit the driver.
However, her raised wrist could no longer descend because a slender, fair hand had grasped her wrist.
The woman froze, not knowing how to react.
Bai Xi gave her no time to hesitate and with a firm pull, yanked the woman out of the car.
The woman was wearing high heels. As she was pulled out, she lost her balance and fell onto the ground. With a ripping sound, a slit appeared in her beautiful dress, and she landed face down.
Bai Xi ignored her and elegantly and calmly sat in the seat the woman had occupied.
The woman's buttocks hurt, and tears welled up in her eyes. Without even caring about her dress, her first reaction was to find Bai Xi, the instigator. She pushed herself up from the ground, her face contorted with rage, "You, you... How dare you do this to me!"
Bai Xi calmly replied, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Seeing Bai Xi so composed, the woman's anger intensified. "Fine, fine, it seems you're determined to make an enemy of me. If you have the nerve, leave your name. I will make sure you regret it."
The driver was also taken aback. When the woman pressed Bai Xi for her name, he finally came to his senses. "Miss, you can't tell her!"
Students from Black Gold Academy were not to be trifled with.
Looking at this young girl, who appeared delicate and frail, it could be troublesome if she sought revenge later. Especially for a girl, it was easy to be gossiped about.
Bai Xi smiled faintly at the driver. "It's fine."
Then, she looked at the woman under the taxi and said calmly, "My name is Bai Xi. I'll be waiting."
The woman's eyes widened involuntarily, as if she hadn't expected Bai Xi to actually give her name. But since she had, she had to follow through with her threat, "Alright, you're tough. You wait. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you wish you were dead or alive!"
Bai Xi didn't even bother to look at her again. Instead, she looked at Han Mo behind the car and said softly, "Let's go."
Han Mo smiled faintly. "Okay."
After speaking, he looked at the woman on the ground.
The woman froze for a moment as she looked at Han Mo.
To be honest, she had thrown the backpack from behind and hadn't seen Han Mo clearly. Now that she saw him... he was truly handsome.
The woman was momentarily stunned by his handsomeness.
But the next second, she saw Han Mo take out a pair of disposable gloves from his pocket, put them on, then take the woman's suitcase and throw it onto the ground. He then elegantly removed the gloves, tossed them into a nearby non-recyclable trash bin, and got into the car.
The taxi drove away, leaving behind only exhaust fumes, the laughter of the onlookers, and the woman who sat on the ground, howling in frustration.
