Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Yao sat at the side, her face full of anger. This shameless Lan Ning had hooked up with Tan Rou the moment she arrived. Who didn’t know that Tan Rou’s family was rich? If she hooked them up, Lan Ning would be able to do whatever she wanted in the Capital in the future!
“Lan Ning, we’ve been friends for many years. Why did you only invite these new friends who you’ve only known for a few days and forget about me, an old friend? Are you so fond of the new and loathe the old?” Chen Yao said with ill intentions. “Or do you only care about the rich?”
Lan Ning’s face turned pale. Her health was not good to begin with, and she had been starved for so many days. The root of her illness had long been left. Hearing Chen Yao’s words, Lan Ning stood awkwardly on the spot, not knowing what to say.
“I don’t only care about the rich. Tan Rou and the others have helped me a lot. 1 just want to treat them to a meal. Besides ” Lan Ning explained, “when I came
here, my parents also told me to thank these kind-hearted people.”
“How many days have you known each other? We’ve known each other for so many years. Why didn’t you say you wanted to treat me to a meal?” Chen Yao didn’t have any friends in the class. She had already offended many people by following Lan Ni. After Lan Ni left, no one wanted to get along with her. So she had to hold on to Lan Ning as a friend. Lan Ning was easy to bully. In the future, Lan Ning would do whatever she asked him to do.
“I really can’t today,” said Lan Ning. “I’ll treat you another time.”
Chen Yao didn’t give up. She felt that if Lan Ning left with them today, she wouldn’t be able to control Lan Ning in the future.
“Are you blaming me for not testifying for you, Lan Ning?” Chen Yao took the initiative to talk about the replacement. “You know the situation at that time. My parents were still working in the Lan family. If 1 testify for you, our family would be in trouble. I hope you can forgive me. I’ll make it up to you twice in the future.”
Lan Ning was a little angry. “It’s normal for you not to testify for me. I don’t blame you. It’s just that I invited you to testify against Lan Ni in court, but you didn’t go. I don’t understand that.”
Chen Yao felt a little guilty. At that time, she was worried that she would be implicated, so she did not go to court to testify. “I was afraid at that time, so I didn’t go.”
“Chen Yao, you know what Lan Ni did to me in the past. Not only do you know it, but you are also an accomplice sometimes. I don’t want to pursue those things anymore. I hope you won’t say anything strange in the future. I treated Tan Rou and the others to a meal purely out of gratitude,” Lan Ning said.
“I didn’t mean to climb up the social ladder. Whatever I need, I’ll do it through my own efforts. I won’t try to take shortcuts.”
“What do you mean?” Chen Yao said angrily. “Did I get to where I am today because I took a shortcut?”
Lan Ning shook his head. “You’re a very smart girl. You were very cute and kind when you were young. You’ve slowly changed since high school. 1 don’t know why you changed, and 1 don’t want to know what you’ll become. In short, if we can be good friends, then we shall. If not, we should separate as soon as possible.”
Tan Rou smiled in her heart. Lan Ning looked weak, but she was actually a strong and brave girl. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come all the way to the capital and taken back everything that belonged to her. However, Tan Rou only helped her because of Lan Ning.
“I’m going to treat my benefactor to a meal. I hope you won’t cause trouble again. If you want me to buy you dinner,” said Lanning coldly, “You can look for it tomorrow.”
Lan Ning left with Tan Rou and the others while Chen Yao was fuming in class. Did this Lan Ning take the wrong medicine? Why was she so fierce?
Then, Chen Yao rolled her eyes and started crying on the table. She deliberately cried loudly so that others would sympathize with her.
“That new classmate’s words are a little harsh. She just didn’t testify for her, why did she blame Chen Yao? If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to testify either.” One of the girls said.
Another girl said, “I think she’s trying to hook up with rich people. I don’t need to tell you how rich Tan Rou is, right? My heart aches for Chen Yao!”
Chen Yao leaned on the table, the corners of her lips curling up slightly..
