âMiss Tan Rou, we were wrong in this matter. Weâve already realized our mistake. A big shot like you shouldnât hold it against us.â Li Jing smiled and said, âHow about this? Iâll treat you to a meal. Bring Liang Lu along. Weâll go to the best restaurant in the capital for a meal.â
Tan Rou looked disgusted. âDo you think 1 canât afford this meal?â
Li Jing said awkwardly, âThis is my sincere offer. Moreover, Miss Tan Rou, this matter isnât entirely our fault. Most of the things that Zhang Xue posted on the Internet are true, soâ¦â
Tan Rou was very angry. She did not want to listen to Li Jing anymore. âWhether itâs true or not, spreading other peopleâs private matters is an invasion of their privacy. Moreover, not only did the students from your school spread rumors and beat Liang Lu up, but do you think this matter can be settled with a meal?â
âThen how many more meals should I treat?â Li Jing asked.
âNo need. Our Tao family doesnât lack money for food.â Tan Rou sneered.
âAll 1 want is to get justice for Liang Lu, so I wonât let Zhang Xue go easily. I donât care about the cooperation between your school and the Tao family. If you want to talk about it, then you can talk to the general manager of Star Path Entertainment!â
With that, Tan Rou left with Li Li and the others. They still had to go back and see how Liang Lu was recovering. They had no time to listen to Li Jingâs nonsense. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Tan Rou, Miss Tan Rou!â Li Jing called Tan Rou from behind, but Tan Rou ignored her and quickly walked away.
Li Jing was so anxious that she slapped her thigh. âIâm done for. Iâm really going to be expelled by the principal!â
âMiss, you donât seem to be a teacher in our school, right?â Chen Yao smiled and greeted Li Jing. â1 saw you talking to Tan Rou and the others just now. Is there something you need from them?â
Chen Yao followed Lan Ning. In Chen Yaoâs eyes, Lan Ning was a shameless girl. Ever since Tan Rou helped her, she shamelessly followed Tan Rou and the others every day. They were together in class and after class. Even after school, she would eat with Tan Rou and the others. She didnât even go with Chen Yao.
After class today, Chen Yao saw Tan Rou call Lan Ning away again. She was very unhappy, so she wanted to follow them secretly. However, as soon as she came out, she saw this woman begging Tan Rou for something. It seemed that she wanted to treat Tan Rou to a meal. Therefore, after Tan Rou and the others left, she came over to talk to them.
Li Jing was feeling frustrated. When she saw Chen Yao, she wasnât very enthusiastic. âWho are you?â
âIâm Tan Ronâs classmate,â said Chen Yao with a smile.
âWhatâs your relationship with Tan Rou?â Li Jingâs eyes lit up.
âI have a good relationship with her. If I hadnât go to the toilet, Tan Rou would have waited for me,â Chen Yao said confidently.
Li Jing seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw. âHelp me persuade Tan Rou. As long as sheâs willing to forgive us, iâll do anything. How about this: as long as you can persuade Tan Rou, Iâll give you 5000. How about it?â
What Chen Yao lacked right now was money. When Lan Ni was around, her food and drinks were all paid for by Lan Ni. Now that she was gone, Chen Yao had to pay for everything herself. The prices in the Capital were so high that she couldnât afford it.
Lan Niâs family had gone bankrupt, and Chen Yaoâs parents had lost their jobs as well. Originally, Chen Yao could get a few thousand yuan from Lan Niâs parents every month, but now, not to mention a single cent, even her own parents didnât give her any living expenses.
âIt doesnât matter if itâs money or not. Iâm not that into money.â Chen Yao pretended to be calm. âItâs mainly because I want to help you. 1 donât want my friend to have any misunderstandings with you.â
Li Jing was very grateful to Chen Yao. âAlright, iâll transfer the money to your card immediately after Iâve settled this matter.â
Chen Yao smiled. âThen tell me, why are you looking for her?â
Li Jing told Chen Yao the whole story. After Chen Yao heard it, she suddenly looked troubled. âThis is your fault. Itâs difficult for me to persuade Tan Rou.â
Li Jing made up her mind. âAs long as you complete the task, iâll give you another five thousand.â
Chen Yao was overjoyed, but she didnât show it on her face. âIâll give it a try then..â
