After that, He Jing stopped going to school with them.
Because she left after the fight, her posture made it seem as if she was not in the same group as peasants like them.
However, they did not expect the traffic to be so bad in the morning rush hour. The bus and taxi stopped side by side. He Jing sat comfortably in the back seat of the taxi, while He Sui and He Ning stood close to each other by the door, packed like sardines.
When their eyes met, He Jing indifferently retracted her gaze. He Sui leaned against the bus door and gritted his teeth. âShe definitely did it on purpose.â He Ning had no words.
In the end, the taxi arrived at the school before the bus. He Jing got out of the taxi and happened to meet Cheng Yi, who was coming out of the luxury car.
Cheng Yi looked at He Jing in surprise, then understood something. She smiled and greeted He Jing. âGood morning, He Jing.â
He Jing didnât even look up. She replied perfunctorily with a âmorningâ and walked into Yin High School.
Of course, Cheng Yi wouldnât let go of such a good opportunity to ridicule her for no reason. She promptly caught up and asked hypocritically, âDid He Jing quarrel with her brothers, so she came to school alone?â
He Jing ignored her, as if she hadnât heard her.
Cheng Yi continued, âIsnât He Jing curious about what I said to Second brother and Fourth brother yesterday?â
He Jing finally stopped and said frostily, âThereâs no need to know.â What else could it be; it wasnât hard to guess.
Cheng Yi got a response and knew that He Jing was not feeling calm. She smiled again and stopped as well. She held her bag in front of her with both hands and said confidently and briskly, âHe Jing, do you know that although some people are born with bad luck, even if they were rich but switched at birth, God will not mistreat them? And some people might have a good life and could become part of a rich family even if they werenât rich, but they still have nothing. They donât have parents to dote on them, nor do they have elder brothers to dote on them. Theyâre quite pitiful.
âJust like this time, you clearly didnât do anything, but everyone is on my side. He Jing, good grades arenât everything. Being smart is. Am I right?â
At this moment, He Jing didnât know whether to scold her or sympathize with He Sui and He Ning. She said coldly, âIf you really like them and treat them as your biological brothers, stop using them and showing off. Otherwise, believe me, you will lose them very soon!â
Cheng Yiâs expression changed, and she stood up straight. âThatâs just sour grapes; what do you know? My relationship with Second brother and Fourth brother will never change.â
âOh, really?â
She only knew that there was a limit to a personâs patience. After being repeatedly used and hurt, feelings would slowly thin out. In the end, it would be like a glacier melting, and not a trace would be left.
âThen I wish you good luck.â
He Jing entered the classroom and was quickly surrounded by a group of people, including Wu Yu. All of them looked worried. He Jing asked, âWhatâs wrong?â Only then did they start talking at once.
âShen Qiuyu has returned to school. She didnât transfer schools.â
âHer expression was so fierce when she came in just now. It was obvious that she wanted to cause trouble for you, Sister Jing.â
âSister Jing, why donât you run away? Brother Xi isnât here, so Shen Qiuyu will most likely attack you.â
Although fighting was forbidden in the school, and Yan Hanxi was a huge mountain that hung over the school, Yin High School was jointly funded by three wealthy families, Cheng, Yan, and Shen. Shen Qiuyu was the daughter of a board member, so even Yan Hanxi could not touch her.
In the past, He Jing was the daughter of the Cheng family and had the same status as Shen Qiuyu. That was why the two of them were evenly matched. Now that her identity as the daughter of the Cheng family had been replaced, she would definitely be at a disadvantage if she were to fight against herâ¦
Speaking of the devil â Shen Qiuyu had arrived..
