Chapter 32: Please Don’t Refuse My Kindness
Xie Jingyan’s expression was very indifferent: “You’re so concerned about my affairs, why not first think about how to survive in the Zhou Family yourself.”
He Shang pursed his lips: “Tch, in any case, my situation is much better than yours.”
He touched his chin, his tone carrying relief: “I almost thought I’d be like you, getting beaten every day after entering this crappy school, but unexpectedly there was a turn for the better. That sweet and naive Sui Tang is Zhou Yuchu’s fangirl, thinking the Zhou Family has accepted me, she’s going all out to treat me well. Tsk, I think I can use her to deal with that Zhou guy.”
“Do as you like. This medical dispute incident is a good lead; if utilized well, it can make the Jiang Family take the blame and suffer some losses.” Xie Jingyan said, taking out his mobile phone, opening the chat page, and replying to the message ‘Ning Zhaozhao’ sent him.
He Shang looked at him strangely: “Aren’t you the one who never plays with your mobile phone at school? Who are you busy messaging? Su Wanyuan?”
Xie Jingyan gave him an indifferent glance: “Not her, someone else.”
He Shang became interested: “Who? Someone who can make you break your rule.”
Xie Jingyan furrowed his brows, not knowing how to describe this benefactor.
He could only say: “She is a very lonely person with no friends. If I don’t reply to her messages in time, she would probably feel sad.”
He Shang: “…”
He saw Xie Jingyan’s serious expression.
He couldn’t help but complain: “No, in this day and age, who doesn’t have a few friends around? Even the dogs by the roadside are in groups. You didn’t fall for some new type of scam, did you? And you believe that kind?”
Xie Jingyan darkened his brows: “I believe her. She wouldn’t deceive people.”
He Shang was at a loss for words. Logically speaking, Xie Jingyan was even more cautious than him, yet he would believe this kind of thing. But online chatting was whatever; who knows if the other side is human or ghost.
“I don’t care about your matters. That lord in the Capital City said he would send someone to assist us, to take down the Jiang Family within a year.”
He Shang patted Xie Jingyan’s shoulder.
He looked up at the deep blue sky: “Though I don’t know what he wants to do, as long as he gives money, it’s fine. With money, we can do what we want to do. Freedom, that’s something only rich people can have.”
The bait has been laid, just waiting for the big fish to bite.
He Shang walked around him toward Class 7.
Even if someone saw him with Xie Jingyan, it didn’t matter.
Poor people hanging out with poor people, what’s the problem?
Moreover, he also came from Xiao Ge Town and had known Xie Jingyan for a long time.
It was just that Xie Jingyan was a top student, while he was a good-for-nothing little thug.
This year at eighteen, his luck turned, and he was dug out to be the Zhou Family’s illegitimate son.
When brought back, he requested a transfer to Ninth Middle School.
All because his good brother Xie Jingyan was here.
Xie Jingyan returned to Class 1.
His gaze lingered a bit longer on Jiang Ning’s empty seat. Liu Huanhuan beside it saw Xie Jingyan lingering and couldn’t help blushing.
She had just transferred in last week.
At first, she was quite nervous, but later found the people in this class quite easy to get along with.
She had more or less heard rumors about her deskmate Jiang Ning.
Saying she was a second generation rich, bad temper, hard to get along with, didn’t like to study, and warning her to stay away from Xie Jingyan in the back row.
That was someone this young lady Jiang Ning had named to suppress, so Xie Jingyan had been a loner since transferring to this school over a year ago.
At first, she had a favorable impression of Jiang Ning because she was pretty, seemed unpretentious, and would share extra snacks with her every time.
Until yesterday when she heard these things, her favorable impression of Jiang Ning dropped straight to negative.
She began to feel sorry for Xie Jingyan, the school’s first place, having to survive in such a suffocating environment.
Xie Jingyan sat back in his seat, and just as he took out his book, a bottle of milk was placed in front of him.
Liu Huanhuan smiled shyly at him: “Xie, this milk is for you.”
Seeing Xie Jingyan’s puzzled gaze, she hurriedly explained in a panic: “Don’t misunderstand, I just, just purely feel sorry for your situation. With Jiang Ning around, you must be very tired, right? It’s okay, I’ll help you from now on. Even if targeted by her, it doesn’t matter; I’m willing to bear it with you!”
Liu Huanhuan felt like a hero at this moment; she was determined not to yield to evil forces!
Xie Jingyan pushed the milk back to her, though he didn’t know where her sense of justice came from.
Xie Jingyan only wanted to quietly finish this year reading books and didn’t need anyone to protect him.
“Thanks, I don’t like drinking milk. Hasn’t anyone in the class reminded you to stay away from me?”
Liu Huanhuan wasn’t annoyed at being refused.
She nodded: “They did, but so what? I’m different from them; I won’t back down because of these rumors. Xie, please don’t refuse my kindness.”
Xie Jingyan glanced at her and seriously lowered his head to read: “Do as you like.”
He hoped that when she was really targeted by Jiang Ning later, she could still say such words.
Liu Huanhuan’s face lit up, feeling that her relationship with Xie Jingyan had gotten closer.
It was her first time seeing someone as good-looking as Xie Jingyan.
The youth was cool and aloof, every gesture carrying a sense of distance, but he was really attractive. Liu Huanhuan couldn’t help thinking of the romance novels she had read.
The protagonist in the books who needed redemption was just like Xie Jingyan, lonely and carrying a body full of brokenness.
Inducing people to want to protect him.
From the first glance at Xie Jingyan, Liu Huanhuan had this feeling.
……
Jiang Ning brought Xin Yang to a corner avoiding the surveillance camera.
“Didn’t I say to tell me if Gu Lanli makes any moves? Is this how you agreed?”
Hearing Jiang Ning’s questioning.
Xin Yang tugged at his mouth, showing a smile uglier than crying: “Ancestress, don’t I have nothing to tell you? Lan Li hasn’t come to school much these days; he’s been going to bars to play.”
Jiang Ning sneered, reaching out to twist his ear: “Keep pretending. You dare say the sudden medical dispute at Jin Cheng People’s Hospital had nothing to do with them? How? Drive out the patients needing treatment, expose the Sui Family’s shares, then bring out me, the spoiled and arrogant young lady loved by both families, solving me and taking down the Sui Family along the way. What a loud plan.”
Xin Yang didn’t even care about the pain anymore and instead looked at Jiang Ning in horror.
No!
How did she become so smart!
This was exactly Gu Lanli and their plan, all laid out by her without missing a beat.
Xin Yang swallowed, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
“Ning Ning…”
Jiang Ning looked at him coldly: “Don’t call me. I don’t have a friend like you who wants to frame me everywhere.”
Xin Yang smiled bitterly in his heart.
He, Gu Lanli, and Jiang Ning and Jiang Yan.
The four grew up together since childhood.
Jiang Ning was very lively as a child, fearless, daring to do anything thanks to her family’s pampering.
And Jiang Ning was the only girl in their circle.
So Xin Yang took extra care of her.
The turning point was when Jiang Ning realized she liked Gu Lanli and distanced herself from him, this male friend.
Saying it was to avoid making her Lan Li brother jealous.
