"Still want to keep practicing?" Gu Yunting glanced at him indifferently.
"No, no, we're leaving, see you later!"
Jin Lan and Jiang Jingxiu ran off without delay.
Only then did Gu Yunting get into the car, light a cigarette, and slowly smoke it. Finally, he exhaled the闷气 (mèn qì - stifled anger) in his chest. His phone showed countless missed calls from his mother. He didn't want to answer; he was in no mood today. It was only now that he picked up his phone and returned a call.
...
Ye Wan was very focused in school for the entire day. The medical expenses for her younger brother were temporarily covered. What was still lacking were the surgery fees and post-operative care costs. This sum of money was too much, and she had to find another way.
Jiang Yan followed Ye Wan around like a shadow for the whole day. Wherever Ye Wan went, Jiang Yan followed. If someone sent flowers, Jiang Yan would block them for her. When it was time to eat, Jiang Yan would run errands to buy food.
Ning Xin brought over the food and sat down with the two of them. However, her complexion was not good. She hadn't sat with them in class that morning.
"Ning Xin, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" Jiang Yan, being talkative and unable to keep things to herself, asked directly when she saw her like this.
Ye Wan, focused on her food, also glanced at her.
Ning Xin looked at Ye Wan and said, "It's nothing, let's eat. We have class this afternoon."
"Did Jiang Lingyu scold me?" Ye Wan asked indifferently.
"How did you know?" After Ning Xin asked, she felt rather foolish. Her expression just now had revealed everything.
"Holy crap, is she sick in the head? Why would she scold Ye Wan?" Jiang Yan, furious, threw down her chopsticks. Her loud voice drew the attention of everyone around.
"Don't get agitated, have a chicken leg. Actually, it's normal. Jiang Lingyu probably believes that man's words, saying I seduced him." Ye Wan's expression remained placid.
"Holy crap, where did that scumbag get the confidence? The line of people wanting to pursue you could stretch all the way to Paris. You seduced him? With that sour face of his, only Jiang Lingyu would treasure him! I wouldn't even look at him! Jiang Lingyu... is her brain eaten by something!" Jiang Yan was truly speechless. Even a dog at the door wouldn't believe such a statement!
"Those who are blinded by love have no reason. Don't be angry, eat." Ye Wan still had to placate Jiang Yan.
"Sigh, everyone knows the truth, yet Jiang Lingyu can still believe that scumbag's words. Jiang Lingyu just wants to find a rich boyfriend. I think she also knows Ye Wan wouldn't do such a thing. She just wants an excuse to stay by the scumbag's side," Ning Xin said helplessly, looking at the two of them.
"Let's eat." Ye Wan transferred some of the meat from her plate to Ning Xin, not wanting to listen to their talk anymore. It had nothing to do with her in the first place.
The three girls were all speechless about the matter, so there was nothing more to say. Ning Xin usually had a good relationship with Jiang Lingyu, and as long as the scumbag wasn't involved, they would still be good friends. As for Jiang Yan, she was a die-hard fan of Ye Wan and had drawn a clear line with Jiang Lingyu after this incident.
As for Ye Wan, she was busy and didn't have the time to think about these things.
"Oh, right. Jiang Lingyu said her boyfriend spent a hundred thousand yuan that day. We didn't eat that much, did we? I calculated the prices that day, it was just over five thousand yuan. They were ripped off by the restaurant! Jiang Lingyu also said her boyfriend tried to reason with the restaurant but was beaten by the staff and still paid. Later, somehow he got his leg broken by a group of people."
"Ha! Wonderful, who was the deity who did that! I really thank him! Didn't he want to show off his wealth? This is giving him an opportunity! He should be thanking that restaurant! Let's not talk about that scumbag, it's putting a damper on my appetite!"
Ning Xin also felt that the scumbag deserved it, and only hoped that Jiang Lingyu would wake up sooner and stop being so deluded.
Ye Wan, however, seemed to be lost in thought. She knew Jiang Jingxiu had also been dining there that night. Later, Gu Yunting had specifically asked her about it. So, was it Gu Yunting who did it?
