Chapter 58: Can We Make Up?
On one side, He Shang suddenly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder.
He clicked his tongue repeatedly: “People really can’t be judged by their appearance. You should be glad that she hired someone to beat you for a year, instead of doing it herself. I saw it—she stabbed that murderer three times without blinking. Even I felt the pain watching it.”
He Shang was somewhat emotional.
Xie Jingyan turned his gaze to him.
According to the sports field lineup, Class Seven’s team was right behind Class One.
He Shang boldly crossed over the crowd and stood in Class One’s team.
“She can stab people too?” Xie Jingyan expressed some doubt.
He still remembered half a month ago, when she hired someone to beat him, she kicked him clumsily and ended up slipping and falling herself.
Oh, and she even got a minor fracture because of it for a week.
He Shang nodded: “Although her character isn’t great, she’s pretty good to her family. In that situation, even I as a big guy didn’t dare rush up, but she pounced directly on that murderer for Sui Tang.”
He sighed: “Sui Tang is almost in love with her cousin.”
Xie Jingyan fell silent. On stage, someone gave Jiang Ning flowers.
She held the flowers in her right hand, and since her left hand was inconvenient, the principal held the banner for her. A police comrade came up beside her, and she stood in the middle for a photo with them.
This photo would most likely be posted on the honor roll outside the school.
Even if she didn’t become famous for her grades, eliminating a scourge for Jin Cheng with this act was worthy of the honor roll.
Jiang Ning smiled on her face, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc, looking clean and clear.
If she hadn’t bullied him for a year, Xie Jingyan would really have believed she was a good person.
He sneered and changed the topic: “Has the person sent by that one in the capital city arrived in Jin Cheng? Jiang Ning’s father is cautious and unwilling to take the risk to invest in that stock.”
He Shang uncertainly scratched his buzz cut: “Uh… I’m not sure either. I’ll go ask later.”
His gaze turned to behind him.
Sui Tang’s eyes sparkled as she excitedly clapped toward Jiang Ning’s direction. He Shang couldn’t help but smile too at this sweet and naive girl.
“What? Regretting it?”
Xie Jingyan’s indifferent voice sounded.
He Shang was stunned: “What?”
His expression was indifferent: “Because of this time spent together, you’ve started to pity Sui Tang? He Shang, don’t forget our goal.”
He Shang hurriedly straightened up and guaranteed: “How could I? I’m just using that little girl to infiltrate the Sui Family internally. I have no feelings for her at all. She’s just a stepping stone for my rise to power.”
“You’d better be.”
He Shang added: “Of course, my attitude toward her is just like yours toward Jiang Ning. Isn’t she also your stepping stone?”
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage.
Jiang Ning walked off stage amid the flowers and applause.
Xie Jingyan responded very lightly: “Mm, never forget the original intention.”
Seeing Jiang Ning coming, He Shang walked toward Class Seven.
Sui Tang pulled him back, a bit curious: “What were you whispering about with Xie Jingyan?”
“I was praising how awesome your cousin is to him.”
Sui Tang lit up like she’d found her people and started chattering nonstop while pulling him: “Right? Right? She’s so amazing. I hope one day I can become as awesome as her, so I’ve decided to study hard and go to the same university as my cousin.”
He Shang’s smile was forced.
In their plan.
Within a year, both families would definitely suffer heavy losses.
By then, the two sisters wouldn’t even think about university— it’d be good if they didn’t end up homeless on the street.
He patted Sui Tang’s shoulder: “You go for it.”
On the other side, Jiang Ning only breathed a sigh of relief after returning to her team.
Her face had almost stiffened from smiling.
Turning her head, she saw Xie Jingyan’s gaze on her.
Jiang Ning was still mad at him, so she glared at him: “What are you looking at? Once my hand heals, you’ll be the first one I take the knife to.”
Xie Jingyan looked extremely world-weary: “Mm, then we’ll talk after you’re healed. If you stab me, you won’t live either.”
Jiang Ning closed her eyes.
Stubborn mouth.
Why bother with him.
After this incident, Jiang Ning didn’t speak to Xie Jingyan all day.
Even at noon in the canteen when eating, she just slammed her tray in front of him and gestured with her eyes, her attitude haughty as she treated him like a servant.
Seeing him obediently go, Jiang Ning finally felt relieved.
She had spent real money, after all.
And she couldn’t even handle this tough nut.
So in a great mood, she leaned back in the chair waiting for her food.
Liu Huanhuan, entering the canteen, saw this scene and almost couldn’t hold back from going up.
Still, the people around her advised her not to stir up trouble.
Second generation rich like Jiang Ning who acted lawlessly were best avoided to begin with, and now that she even dared to fight a villain, she was even more untouchable.
“Would a selfish person like her really risk her life to fight a villain? I think she stole someone else’s credit and pretended it was hers.” Liu Huanhuan was stubborn.
Ever since being transferred away from Jiang Ning, though she no longer interacted with her and avoided her when seeing her usually, it didn’t stop her from hating her deep down.
It was all because of that bossy attitude of hers, which left a very bad impression in her heart.
“Shh.” Her companion signaled her to be quiet: “Don’t say that kind of thing in public. Do you want to be targeted by her like Xie Jingyan? This isn’t a game. Your family situation isn’t good either. The best method is to stay out of it. That circle isn’t for us to get involved in.”
Liu Huanhuan clenched her fists.
But she still listened to her companion and stayed away from this place of trouble.
The day passed in study.
After school in the afternoon, ever since the murderer was caught, Ninth Middle School’s first and second year high school students also started evening study sessions.
At this stage, students could choose to eat in the canteen or go outside.
Jiang Ning was craving grilled sausage.
As soon as she walked out of campus, Gu Lanli blocked her path.
His motorcycle was back, washed shiny. He leaned against it, his roguishly handsome image attracting quite a few girls’ attention.
Jiang Ning pretended not to see him and turned toward the grilled sausage stall.
Gu Lanli frowned but still followed closely: “Jiang Ning, you didn’t give me an answer this morning. Can we make up?”
Jiang Ning sighed: “If we make up, can you cut off Su Wanyuan’s financial aid and kick her out of the Gu Family?”
Su Wanyuan was Gu Lanli’s bottom line, and Jiang Ning had precisely stepped on the mine.
He was annoyed: “Can we keep things between us from dragging Wanyuan into it anymore? Come at me with whatever you have.”
Jiang Ning turned to look at him: “But our relationship became like this because of a Su Wanyuan, right? To solve the problem, we have to start from the root.”
Jiang Ning just didn’t believe this scumbag would really let go of his white moonlight.
Sure enough, Gu Lanli directly refused: “No way! I can agree to any other condition.”
Jiang Ning shrugged: “Then sorry, that’s my only condition.”
The original plot also had this plot.
The original owner, driven by jealousy, schemed to instigate Gu Lanli’s parents to kick out Su Wanyuan.
This caused Gu Lanli to run away from home for Su Wanyuan too, leading the original owner and the second male lead to completely break up.
