Chapter 78: If Online Relationship Gets Discovered, Do I Have To Silence Them?
Is Su Wanyuan sick?
She collapsed on the ground, her brows furrowed in discomfort.
Gu Lanli stood in place, his heart feeling a bit complicated.
He looked at Jiang Ning: “How about we take her to the infirmary? She’s sick like this, and it’s not good for her to lie here.”
Jiang Ning turned and walked into the school: “If you want to take her, take her yourself. Her being sick has nothing to do with me.”
Gu Lanli hesitated for a few seconds, but still chose to carry Su Wanyuan to the infirmary, swearing to himself that this was the last time.
“Ning Ning, I’ll be back soon.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Bizarre.
She opened her mobile phone again and quickly sent a message to Meng Jing while not yet reaching the classroom: [Baby, I’m about to start class. What about you?]
The person who used to reply instantly now wasn’t even responding, and Jiang Ning felt a bit melancholic. What a pity, she hadn’t even touched those beautiful hands yet.
“Heh.”
A sudden sharp snort came from behind.
Jiang Ning turned around and saw Xie Jingyan staring intently at her mobile phone screen.
She hurriedly turned off the screen and put the mobile phone in her pocket, glaring at him angrily: “What the hell are you laughing at? Every time you sneak up behind me without a sound, like a ghost. Tell me, isn’t that scary?”
Xie Jingyan curled his lips mockingly: “Why are you panicking? Afraid your online relationship will be discovered and you’ll have to silence someone?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She stubbornly said: “I’m no longer interested in fighting and killing. I advise you not to mess with me, or I’ll scare myself when I start hitting people.”
Xie Jingyan’s expression was cold, his eyelids drooping: “Your online relationship partner is really unlucky to meet you. On one side marrying Gu Lanli, on the other calling someone else baby. You toy with people’s feelings, do you have a heart?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
What stance was this buddy taking to condemn her like this?
Did her marriage conflict with her online relationship partner?
Putting these two things together was just a bit morally corrupt, but not illegal.
But Jiang Ning hadn’t even done that.
It was completely Gu Lanli’s one-sided wishful thinking.
If she hadn’t overheard yesterday that Gu Lanli had cut off Su Wanyuan’s financial aid, causing her progress to rise to 80%, she wouldn’t even bother acting here with Gu Lanli.
Jiang Ning looked at him with a fake smile, deliberately disgusting him: “I just want to give every boy a home. What’s wrong with that? What, do you want to join my big family too?”
She thought Xie Jingyan would retort that she was delusional, or at worst just walk away without bothering with her.
But he smiled at her, a brilliant smile, the tear mole at the corner of his eye shimmering brightly, and Jiang Ning stared blankly.
He reached out and suddenly took Jiang Ning’s hand, gripping it tightly in his palm: “Sure, the more the merrier. We can play mahjong when we’re lonely. I have no opinion.”
Jiang Ning acted like she’d seen a ghost, shaking off his hand as if electrocuted, her doe eyes full of horror: “Are you crazy? I was joking with you. You’re not my type!”
Jiang Ning firmly remembered that liking the male lead = death.
So being entangled by the male lead, with the plot line collapsing into scraps, losing one hundred million for Jiang Ning was no different from death.
And there was still the risk of annihilation.
“Then what type do you like? Gu Lanli that playboy, or Wei Jin that red-haired non-mainstream?” He stepped closer.
Jiang Ning retreated a few steps, keeping a safety distance from him: “Anyway, it can’t be you. What kind of toad are you to dare covet this lady? Look at what you have—poor as dirt wanting to eat my soft rice. I tell you, absolutely impossible.”
She wiped the hand Xie Jingyan had touched on her clothes, her face showing the perfect amount of disgust: “Please recognize your own identity!”
Then she turned and walked away.
Feeling she was walking too slowly, she ended up running.
Damn, this male lead was crazy too.
In Xie Jingyan’s eyes, Jiang Ning’s figure shattered inch by inch, finally crumbling into a mass of darkness.
Xie Jingyan looked down at his palm, as if residual warmth lingered, leaving a fresh gardenia scent.
Want to get rid of him?
Impossible.
Toying with people’s feelings means reaping what you sow.
…
Jiang Ning ran back to the classroom.
Her heart was pounding, scared.
But Jiang Yan was standing at the classroom entrance.
He seemed to have waited a long time.
Jiang Ning: “…”
Was this group of people never going to stop?
Still coming!
Seeing Jiang Ning, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but grip the paper bag in his hand tightly.
“Jiang Ning… I brought you breakfast.”
Jiang Ning felt like the sky was falling.
These protagonists and supporting characters all had to oppose her, right?
She said loudly without any good temper: “Go send it to Su Wanyuan. Why send it to me? Aren’t you wishing I were dead? What are you doing trying to please me now? Jiang Yan, I don’t have time to deal with you.”
Jiang Ning’s words stung Jiang Yan, making him feel a bit hurt.
He knew everything now.
The person who dragged him out of that hellish place at Zero Degree Clubhouse was Jiang Ning.
Zero Degree had deleted all the surveillance camera footage.
Because they were afraid Huo Chengxuan would get in trouble.
But he went to the police station and lied about losing valuables to request checking the roadside surveillance cameras.
He saw Jiang Ning’s left hand covered in blood, her right shoulder straining to carry him out the back door, blood dripping from her hand the whole way.
As if she couldn’t hold on anymore, she put him by the roadside and went to a nearby pharmacy across the street.
Then Su Wanyuan happened to pass by and took him to the hospital.
A few minutes later, Jiang Ning hurriedly searched around, and seemed to leave knowing he had been sent to the hospital.
And he had thought he was abandoned by his family, saying many hurtful things.
Even cursed Jiang Ning to die.
Was it because she was too disappointed in him that Jiang Ning slapped him?
Had she given up on him?
Jiang Yan’s lips moved, his expression dim: “Sorry… sorry…”
Jiang Ning’s head throbbed.
But fortunately, Jiang Yan was just a cannon fodder affectionate third male lead, and it wouldn’t affect any key plot.
Jiang Ning waved at him: “Hurry back to the classroom and study. Don’t come here to bother me.”
Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Ning’s left hand still wrapped in gauze, guilt in his eyes. Not wanting to upset her, he lowered his head: “I’ll study obediently, finish all the practice sheets you gave me, fold the candy wrappers into paper cranes. I heard a thousand paper cranes can make a wish. This time I’m sincere.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She turned and entered the classroom.
Little Honey: [Are you satisfied now? Full cast rebellion.]
Jiang Ning: 『You blaming me?』
Little Honey: [Should I blame myself then?]
Jiang Ning furrowed her brows, thinking carefully. Even if things happened again, she would still choose to rescue Jiang Yan.
If Huo Chengxuan caught Jiang Yan just to see her once.
Then that was the cause she had sown.
Rescuing Jiang Yan was the result.
Karma emphasizes cycles, and Jiang Ning didn’t want to return to her own world without peace.
While lost in thought, Jiang Ning’s mobile phone beeped.
It was a message from Meng Jing.
Jiang Ning risked having her mobile phone confiscated and opened the message.
Chunfen: [Baby, someone called me a poor ghost today. I feel a bit inferior, like I don’t deserve you.]
Jiang Ning was furious.
What!
In this day and age, there are still people who look down on others like that!
She quickly typed to comfort: [Jing Bao, I like you and it has nothing to do with material things. We’re a perfect match, top-tier, heavenly match, okay? Tell me the name of the person who insulted you, and I’ll curse them back for you!]
Typo correction.
