Ye Ying, who wore a dark gaze, kept her cool. It seemed she hasnât noticed the odd behavior from Yao Jing and she said in a sharp tone: âYe Jian, youâve said that itâs best if the two of us could deal with each other in harmony in the school! I wasnât mature enough in the past, and the stuff that I had done was so childish that they were laughable, but from Grade 9 onwards, have I done anything against you?â
âWe should live together harmoniously, be it in middle school or high school. We shouldnât fight amongst ourselves to prevent everyone from becoming a laughing stock.â
âWhat happened tonight was an accident. The actions of that guy werenât something that I had control of, and he was only thinking about standing up for me! If you donât believe my words, you can ask anybody else! Iâve tried to stop him at that time, but he didnât listen to me.â
How could she not notice Yao Jingâs odd behavior? It is precise because Ye Ying had seen it; thatâs why sheâs trying her best to make up for it.
Indeed, she had made up for it. Yao Jingâs complexion cleared up slightly, and although she hadnât pulled out her arm, the previous intimacy was gone. She giggled: âYe Ying, whatâs there to waste your breath on with her? Sheâs your sister, so what? It doesnât mean she can hit you.â
She glanced at Ye Jian and said with an arrogant expression: âWhat happened today was because I didnât like you. Thatâs why I made Luo Ran act. If you have the guts, then come after me and Luo Ran, Ye Ying had nothing to do with this.â
They were birds of a feather. Ye Jian noticed the girl, who was standing beside Ye Ying, had her schemes and wasnât being genuine and honest when she tried to help out Ye Ying. The edges of her lips curved slightly, and a mocking glint flashed past her eyes.
She didnât mind Ye Ying finding more friends to stand up for her, but if there was a chance to make those so-called friends of hers cause trouble for Ye Ying herself, then Ye Jian felt that was quite amusing.
In the time it took for her eyes to ripple, her star-like pupils seemed to carry a cold smile. She leisurely opened her mouth: âAsking someone to act just because you find another student whom you donât know⦠if it werenât for Ye Ying, would you have done so?â
Immediately, the girlâs distance with Ye Ying had widened. A moment ago, their shoulders were still touching, but at this point, their shoulders were now a fist apart.
She swept a light gaze at Ye Ying, who wanted to break the peace in front of her, then chuckled: âThatâs what I said. It doesnât matter whether or not you had a hand in what had happened tonight, as to what you have done, Ye Ying, you know best.â
âI also know that you had made friends with many students who come from a good background in high school. However, if you want to find trouble against me using them, then Ye Ying, you are mistaken. One: Iâm not afraid. Two: the school is, in the end, still a school. If you guys act too outrageously, once the school steps in and summons the parents, Iâm pretty sure the person whoâll end up as the laughing stock and it wonât be me.â
âNumber three: donât forget, First Provincial Highâs treatment against troublemaking students. They only have one way of dealing with them: expulsion! Even their school records get destroyed.â
â¦â¦
There was a smile on Ye Yingâs face at the start, but when she listened near the end, her heart panicked, and she unconsciously glanced at Yao Jing, who was beside her. When she noticed that her face was devoid of any emotion, she glared at Ye Jian with hatred and sharply said: âYe Jian, you dare blackmail me!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was precisely what she had said. Once their families know about their troublemaking actions, they will not tolerate their behavior.
âBlackmail? Those are the school rules. Didnât you ever read the school rules?â Ye Jian laughed. Each one of them intimidates people using their connections, but in the end, the people they rely on the most were still the parents back at home. âYe Ying, if you want to stir up trouble against me in my two years of high school, be careful that you wonât cause your friends to be unable to get into university!â
Ye Jian frightened the duo, Yao Jing and Ye Ying so much that their faces got drained of color.
While they were having the conversation, the basketball match had ended. The students were starting to walk out of the stadium, from the sporadic few to groups upon groups, causing the previously quiet area around the stadium to become lively instantaneously.
