“What does her sadness have to do with me?” Wei Ling found it funny. “She has to be punished for doing something wrong unless she can clarify that she didn’t do anything at all.”
“Everyone makes mistakes. Jingjing made a mistake. We should talk to her properly and ask her to change. Wei Ling, can’t you give her another chance?” He Ling continued.
“What a joke. You’re not the one who was about to be thrown out of the country and left to fend for herself.” Wei Ling sneered. “Also, do you want to ask Li Jia if she’s comfortable in prison? Do you really think that prison is warm in winter and cold in summer?”
He Ling was so choked that she stopped talking.
However, Wei Ling did not continue. “We treated her as a good friend, but she only used us as her tools to do bad things for her. Then, we were the ones who ended up being punished, but nothing happened to Tan Jing. Do you think this is fair?”
Their conversation attracted the attention of the students in the class. Wei Ling noticed it as well. She didn’t want to say anything more and returned to her seat to read.
Zhao Ru and He Ling no longer spoke up for Tan Jing. They sat down and continued reading their books.
…..
Tan Rou stood at the back door and listened to their conversation. She felt that Wei Ling had really changed. Previously, she only knew how to play tricks behind Tan Jing’s back. She didn’t expect that she could now deal with two people by herself. What a good ally.
“What are you looking at? Why aren’t you going in?” Lu Qing quietly came behind Tan Rou.
Tan Rou was slightly shocked. She then walked to the door. As she walked, she said in a low voice, “1 was just looking at Tan Jing’s good friends from the past.”
Lu Qing knew who she was talking about. “Wei Ling doesn’t seem to be in contact with Tan Jing anymore. She was the one who posted the news on the Internet these past two days. I wonder why she would do such a thing?”
Tan Rou chuckled. “What’s so hard to guess? She just doesn’t want to be used like a fool anymore.”
Lu Qing nodded, but there was still one thing he couldn’t understand. “How did you find out about Wang Jin?”
“Do you still remember Chief Wang from before? He and Wang Jin are brothers. Since Director Wang can act so tyrannically in school, there must be someone working further on top which was how 1 found out about it. That information was leaked from the Education Bureau. Someone must have stolen it. The first person 1 thought of was Wang Jin, so 1 reported it anonymously. I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. 1 didn’t expect him to bring people to arrest me personally.”
Lu Qing admired Tan Rou very much. He would not have thought so much if it were him and thrown that strange information aside. However, Tan Rou was different. She used this small piece of information to find all the people who wanted to harm her and escaped unscathed.
“I didn’t expect the Education Bureau to be so corrupted.” Lu Qing sighed.
“There’s corruption everywhere. Do you think that our school is free from it?” Tan Rou asked.
“Isn’t Chief Wang a good example?” Lu Qing said with a smile.
The two of them did not continue this topic.
Before class, Tan Rou sent a message to Lu Qing, telling him that she would go to treat his grandfather this week. Many people were in the class, so she could only talk to him on her phone. Moreover, Tan Rou wouldn’t talk to Lu Qing regarding any other matter. There was no need for that. The less contact they had, the better.
Lu Qing remembered that Tan Rou had treated Tan Jing a few days ago, so he sent a message to Tan Rou. “How is it that you know medicine?”
Tan Rou replied after a few minutes. “It has nothing to do with you. Please don’t ask about things you don’t need to know.”
Lu Qing felt uncomfortable. They had known each other for so long, but their relationship had not improved. He could only watch as the gap between them grew bigger and bigger.
“Will Mr. Zhuang go with you?” Lu Qing already knew the answer but still couldn’t help but ask.
Tan Rou quickly replied, “No, he has something else to do. It’s time for class. Let’s stop here.”
Lu Qing looked at the phone screen in disappointment. Zhuang Liu was not going because he had something to work on. Zhuang Liu would have come with her if he had nothing to do.
Tan Rou glanced at her phone. Seeing that Lu Qing did not reply, she put her phone down. It was not an excuse for her to say that Zhuang Liu was not going. Zhuang Liu had sent his mother back to the capital for the past two days and said he would return in a while.
She looked out the window and really missed Zhuang Liu, but she didn’t want to think about it anymore. Studying was more important. Tan Rou sat up straight and read the English text seriously.
“Wei Ling, that damned slut! 1 should have grabbed her and jumped off the building with her!” When Tan Jing saw the news online, her phone shattered. “She should have died with Tan Rou.. She should be left in the wild and bitten to death by dogs!”
