Ye Wan frowned, looking at him, "I was sitting here eating properly, and she came over to talk to me. Do you think I wanted to talk to your noble Miss Hua? You two are truly ridiculous!"
Gu Yin, rebuffed, his expression darkened. Hua Rong quickly intervened, "Alright, Gu Yin, it's my fault. I shouldn't have approached Miss Ye. Let's go, Ting is waiting."
Her objective had been achieved. She had come to let Ye Wan know that someone else was just as important to Gu Yun Ting as she was.
After the two left, Ye Wan felt utterly annoyed. She took off the necklace and threw it onto the table, then gulped down a glass of milk.
Sun Ma came in and saw this. "Why did you take off the necklace the young master gave you? What if it gets broken? The young master will be unhappy."
"This necklace is something he bought in bulk. What's there to be unhappy about? I'm going to school." Ye Wan was still angry. It was like this once, and it was like this again. Did Gu Yun Ting really like buying the same thing for the women around him?
She couldn't take off the ring, but the necklace, she could!
Ye Wan left in a huff. Sun Ma picked up the necklace, feeling a pang of sympathy, and headed upstairs to put it away in a box.
On her way, Ye Wan's anger subsided. Hadn't she already known that Gu Yun Ting had many women around him? Why was she still angry? From now on, she just wouldn't accept gifts.
...
After class, the class's youth league secretary approached Ye Wan and Jiang Yan. "This weekend, our school is organizing students to visit a nursing home to care for the elderly. Are you two going?"
"I don't have time, I can't go," Jiang Yan shook her head. She had to take care of her mother at home, and she needed to start working part-time. She couldn't always rely on Ye Wan.
In the past, when Ye Wan was in difficulties, she never relied on herself.
Jiang Yan felt she was too useless, nothing compared to Ye Wan.
"Ye Wan, you should go. You haven't participated in any school activities since your first year. Go!" The youth league secretary looked at her insistently.
"Ye Wan, please go. It's a very meaningful thing. I've been before," Jiang Yan also urged her to go. After all, her younger brother was now well, and she had money, so she no longer needed to struggle for a living.
"Will you go with me? Is it a day trip?"
"Yes, then it's settled. You two sign up." The youth league secretary left happily.
News of Ye Wan going to the nursing home spread through the class, and the activity, which usually had few participants, was suddenly fully booked.
The youth league secretary smiled. This was the effect she wanted.
This was what they, the class leaders, called the Ye Wan effect. If they wanted class activities to be more successful, they just needed to involve Ye Wan.
After lunch, the two walked towards their rented apartment. When they parted ways, Ye Wan handed a card to Jiang Yan.
"I still have money, I don't need it." Jiang Yan immediately pushed it back, her expression a little upset.
"It's not a gift, it's a loan. There's one hundred thousand yuan in here. If you can find a part-time job now, do so, but prioritize your studies. When I worked part-time, it didn't affect my studies. You can repay me after you graduate and earn money. If you really feel embarrassed, you can write me an IOU," Ye Wan insisted, placing the card in her hand. "The password is your birthday."
Jiang Yan was indeed in a difficult situation. She actually only had a little over ten thousand yuan left, which wasn't enough for her to do anything substantial. Sometimes she really wanted to cry, but she couldn't let herself be weak. Now, she was the pillar of her parents.
