Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Change the method_1 Chapter 392: Chapter 392 Change the method_1 Wu Shanshan’s eyes brightened at these words, and she grabbed the pen and notebook excitedly, stashing them in her drawer straight away.
She didn’t notice the resentment flashing in He Jinlan’s eyes.
“Jinlan.” They say gifts soften the heart. Wu Shanshan, who was cold and indifferent before, instantly did a one-eighty, voluntarily saying, “Did you know? A lot has happened in our class while you were away.”
This was exactly what He Jinlan wanted to know, and she feigned nonchalance as she said, “Oh! What happened? Tell me.”
Wu Shanshan, who was bursting to spill the beans, immediately launched into a colorful account of how she and Sun Xiaoxi had spoken up and stood up for her. Not missing the chance to blow her own trumpet and embellish the story as she went along.
He Jinlan listened on and deliberately put up a moved expression, “Shanshan, you’re so kind to me, I always knew you were a good girl.”
“Of course, unlike that heartless Jiang Nanfei. She used to follow you around like a puppy, doing whatever you say.” Wu Shanshan jumped at the chance to slander Nanfei.
“Now, she’s grown wings, not only does she not listen to us, she even turns against us. Because of her, Sun Xiaoxi and I took a big hit. Humph! I’ll remember this grudge.”
He Jinlan barely concealed her schadenfreude, but she nodded along in slight agreement, “True! After everything I’ve done for her in the past. I don’t hate her now, I’m just a little heartbroken.”
During the school-wide meeting earlier, she was in the audience, watching Jiang Nanfei while deep in thought. Why did everything turn out this way? Why did Jiang Nanfei slip through her fingers?
While Jiang Nanfei was doing her self-criticism, He Jinlan was also conducting a deep introspection. Looking back at how she got where she is today, a significant part was due to her own arrogance.
It was her failure to control her temper, letting Jiang Nanfei provoke her, making hasty judgments and decisions in her fury.
She thought Yuan Xueshan, Huo Linong, and her brother would always indulge her, pamper her, protect and love her.
Because Jiang Nanfei had managed to turn them all against her, they had all changed.
She now knew she could only rely on herself.
Everyone else was merely a pawn for her to use, a tool for her manipulation. They didn’t deserve to be her family, relatives, or friends.
All troubles are a lesson learned. This time, she would silently lie low, using her own strengths and intelligence to outwit Jiang Nanfei. Once she was inferior to her in every way, she would deliver the final blow.
And make her wish she was dead.
“Oh my God!” Wu Shanshan exclaimed dramatically, “Jinlan, you’re too kind! You have no idea what she said about you while you were gone.”
“What did she say?” He Jinlan asked with a smile on her face, but her heart was seething with rage.
“She said… she said…” Wu Shanshan pretended to hesitate, “I can’t say it, it’s too harsh, too offensive.”
“It’s okay! I won’t blame you, just tell me.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you.”
“Yes! Tell me! Let me hear what my true friend has been saying behind my back. If it’s something harsh, maybe it’ll make me give up on her completely and see her true colors.”
He Jinlan’s words were filled with righteousness, behaving graciously and reasonably. The students sitting behind and in front of her could overhear their conversation and started to ponder upon hearing her words.
It seemed like their class monitor had changed a lot since coming back!
She was completely different from before.
But the class monitor has always been kind and considerate. It’s a good thing she’s back to her old self. With her in charge, there certainly won’t be any public fights in the classroom again.
