270 270 How Do You Feel
Wei Ling returned to her seat with a hurt expression. A few people came to get more information from her but were stopped.
“Don’t ask; I don’t know anything.” Wei Ling looked at Tan Jing as she spoke, directing the fire toward her. “Don’t ask Jingjing as well. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have said it.”
After Wei Ling sent them off, she was in a good mood. She felt that it was easier for her to memorize the English vocabulary that morning.
The phone in the pocket of her school uniform vibrated. She took it out and looked at it under the table.
[How do you feel?] This was Tan Rou. Wei Ling had given her a nickname to prevent Tan Jing from discovering her real name.
Wei Ling’s lips curled up as she typed back, [Feels good. I’m happy.]
Nameless: [Well, that’s good.]
Wei Ling thought momentarily and typed again, [Will she really marry into the Tao family from the capital?]
[Does it matter if it’s true or not? Didn’t she like to show off? We shall allow her to then.]
Tan Rou was just making an assumption. Tan Song had brought Tan Jing there because he wanted her to get to know the Tao family from the capital. Since Tan Jing liked the attention, they might as well make a big deal out of it.
Wei Ling smiled and replied, ” It doesn’t affect me. ”
Nameless: [And this has nothing to do with you. You’re just giving a stage for people who like to show off.]
[Thank you!] Wei Ling thought it made sense.
Nameless: [It’s almost time for class. Study hard. Don’t forget what you said.]
Wei Ling’s gratitude was indescribable. Not only did Tan Rou give her a second chance, but she also reminded her occasionally to study hard and achieve her goals. Tan Jing had never said this before. Tan Jing would only use her to do bad things and then let her take the blame.
She deleted the chat history. She couldn’t tell anyone she was in contact with Tan Rou. She still had to keep this a secret.
Wei Ling looked at the restless Tan Jing and thought about how to get more money from this young lady. She no longer had any hope in the Wei family, but she still needed money after university. Where would the money come from? Tan Jing should pay the price for using her previously.
“Jingjing, I heard you’ll marry into the Tao family from the capital. Is this true?” Song Lin ran to Tan Jing the moment he entered and questioned her.
Tan Jing was really annoyed to death. How many people had Wei Ling, this little slut, told about this?
“It’s not like that.” Tan Jing didn’t want to discuss this in class anymore, so she asked Song Lin to discuss it outside.
Song Lin was very anxious. “Jingjing, didn’t you say you didn’t want to date now? Why are you discussing marriage with the Tao family?!”
Tan Jing steadied Song Lin. “It’s nothing. This is a misunderstanding. Don’t listen to the rumors.”
She briefly explained the situation. “Recently, the Tao family has had a business deal with my father. My father only wanted me to gain more experience in the business world, so he brought me along. There were no discussions about marriage.”
“Then what did they mean about the engagement with the Zhuang family?” Song Lin asked again. He had just discovered that the Tan family was engaged to the Zhuang family.
“That’s Tan Rou.” Tan Jing brought up Tan Rou. “She was the eldest daughter of the Tan family previously. She was the one engaged to the Zhuang family, not me. After I came back, I canceled the engagement.” Tan Jing still needed Song Lin, so she had to calm him down.
“Really, Jingjing?” Song Lin was skeptical. After all, that was the Zhuang family in the capital. How could they easily break off the engagement?
“It’s true.” Tan Jing was so annoyed that her tone became a little harsh. “Didn’t I tell you? I just want to study hard now. I don’t want to be bothered by these things now.”
Seeing that she was angry, Song Lin quickly coaxed her. “That’s not what I meant. After all, it’s the Zhuang family and the Tao family. If they really want to get engaged, I’m afraid you won’t be able to object.”
“There’s really nothing wrong. Why don’t you see if the Tao family will send out a wedding invite?” Tan Jing said. She had just met the Tao family. It was still too early for her to get engaged.
“Alright, I understand.” Song Lin hurriedly apologized. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have trusted you. I shouldn’t have believed everything that you said.”
“Yes.” Tan Jing lowered her head, looking like she was deeply hurt. “Song Lin, you must prepare well for the next monthly test. Don’t lose to Tan Rou.”
Speaking of the monthly exam, Song Lin was annoyed. He had originally agreed to take the exam this week, but it was postponed because of the physics competition. He couldn’t give Tan Rou a heads-up.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do well.” Song Lin patted his chest and promised.
