Chapter 75: Tsk, Morality
“Huh?” Xia Qinghuan blinked her bright eyes and looked at Guan Tao. “What’s wrong, Guan Tao?”
Seeing this, Guan Tao first looked around carefully and pulled Jian Ai to block the others’ view. Then, she secretly took out a white silk handkerchief from her pocket.
Jian Ai and Xia Qinghuan looked at it. It was not an ordinary silk handkerchief, but Gao Yang’s.
“Ah, Qinghuan… you’re close to Gao Yang. Can you help me return this silk handkerchief to him?” Guan Tao smiled embarrassedly and quickly explained, “I washed it clean. I rubbed it gently with warm water. It’s like a new one.”
With that, Guan Tao nervously lowered her head. Perhaps because she was holding an LV silk handkerchief or because she thought of Gao Yang’s cold face, she felt a little afraid.
Seeing this, Xia Qinghuan smiled helplessly. She looked at Guan Tao and said softly, “Guan Tao, keep this silk handkerchief for yourself. I know Gao Yang. He won’t want it.”
“Ah?” Guan Tao was shocked. Then, she pursed her lips helplessly and said uneasily, “I know that such luxury goods can’t be washed casually, but I’ve used it before, after all. This silk handkerchief is so expensive. I definitely can’t afford to compensate…”
“You’ve misunderstood what I meant.” Xia Qinghuan looked at Guan Tao, who was about to cry. She quickly explained, “I mean, Gao Yang won’t let you compensate him because he’s obsessed with cleanliness. He’s giving you this silk handkerchief as a gift by letting you use it. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
“But…” Guan Tao instinctively rejected her. Putting aside the fact that she couldn’t accept someone else’s things for no reason, it was even more so for something so expensive.
“Alright, Guan Tao. Qinghuan already said that Gao Yang is a clean freak. Even if you return it to him, he might throw it away. That would be a waste of such a good silk handkerchief,” Jian Ai said timely.
Guan Tao gently grabbed the silk handkerchief and struggled in her heart. She felt that Jian Ai made sense and nodded. “Alright.”
Guan Tao initially wanted to say that she would buy an identical brand new handkerchief for Gao Yang when she had money in the future, but she felt that her words were silly. In the end, she swallowed them down and didn’t say anything.
They bid farewell and split ways. Jian Ai went straight back to class. As soon as she entered, she felt that her classmates’ gaze was different from before.
Usually, Jian Ai was like an outsider in this class. Every time she appeared, everyone would examine her in an isolated state.
But today was different. Many people’s eyes were filled with surprise and inquiries. There was even… acceptance?
Jian Ai was not sure if her feeling was right because Li Yunmei, who appeared in the classroom, grabbed her attention.
At this moment, Li Yunmei was sitting in her seat and staring at Jian Ai with a vicious look. If looks could kill, Jian Ai would have probably been grounded to dust the moment she appeared.
Jian Ai calmly looked away. It was obvious that she had no intention of entangling with her. Li Yunmei’s father, Li Qiang, compensated Jian Ai three million yuan because of what had happened previously. To be more precise, Jian Ai extorted three million yuan.
Therefore, no matter how much Li Yunmei was pampered at home, Li Qiang would probably reprimand her for this matter.
As soon as she had just sat down on her seat, the talkative Xu Jiaojiao in front of her quickly turned around and whispered, “Jian Ai, I heard them say that you came with Xia Qinghuan this morning? Is that true?”
Jian Ai looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a smile on her lips, but she didn’t say a word.
Xu Jiaojiao’s family background wasn’t bad either. At least, she didn’t take Jian Ai seriously. Seeing Jian Ai’s reaction, she immediately rolled her eyes in disdain and said in a weird tone, “Oh, that’s true. After getting close to Xia Qinghuan, someone naturally wouldn’t take us seriously. Tsk, what morality.”
