Huo Jinlan’s originally gloomy little face showed a wronged expression upon hearing Wu Shanshan’s words, and her large eyes quickly filled with tears. “Shanshan.”
She threw herself into Wu Shanshan’s arms, tears flowing wildly.
The living room immediately fell silent, everyone looking at her in surprise.
“What’s wrong? Could it be that someone bullied you?”
“Who dares to bully you?”
Huo Jinlan ignored them, heartbrokenly saying, “Shanshan, I was betrayed by Jiang Nanfei, despite being so good to her. Everyone disliked her, but I treated her as my best friend. She wanted to work in a textile factory during the summer vacation, I even deliberately accompanied her, but she… she…”
Because she was crying so much, she couldn’t get the last words out and kept hiccuping.
Wu Shanshan hurriedly patted her back to soothe her, “Jinlan, don’t be sad! We’ve been telling you that Jiang Nanfei is no good, but you wouldn’t listen. Now that you know her true colors, just stay away from her in the future.”
“Yeah, class leader, what did she do?”
Although Huo Jinlan was crying, the words about what happened were clearly spoken, “She worked in the textile factory, shamelessly got involved with our factory boss for money, and was caught by the boss’s wife. I was foolishly defending her, but she tried to dirty my name. You guys tell me, how could she be so horrible?”
“Is she out of her mind? Just because she’s desperate for money, does she think you’re in the same boat as her?” Wu Shanshan exclaimed indignantly, “Forget about one textile factory, even ten factories combined might not be as rich as your family.”
“She’s really disgusting, thinking the whole world revolves around her, considering everyone else as shallow as her!”
“My gosh! That’s so scary.”
“How could she do that? The school should expel such a person.”
Huo Jinlan, comforted by Wu Shanshan, wiped her tears and stopped crying. But her wronged look made people feel even more distressed.
“Class leader, don’t cry. We won’t invite her to tomorrow’s gathering.”
“That won’t do!” A trace of scheming flashed across Wu Shanshan’s face, “Not only should we invite her, we must make her come.”
Xie Fei was sitting in the corner, watching Huo Jinlan’s performance with a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth. Among all the students in the class, he felt the class president and vice president were the best match. One was playing hard to get while keeping others on a leash.
The other one claimed to like Jiang Nanfei while badmouthing her behind her back.
In the middle of the night, Huo Beijiang opened his eyes. The thin blanket had already slipped off his body onto the floor. Originally bewildered eyes blinked twice and instantly turned icy, filled with a bone-chilling cold.
He sat up abruptly from the bed, thinking of what he had done earlier that evening, he cursed lowly while holding his forehead with one hand.
The little girl probably doesn’t want to marry him even more now, does she?
“Damn it!” No, he must do something.
After getting up and hastily showering, Huo Beijiang changed into clean clothes and went downstairs. He dialed a number on the phone in the living room, and after a long wait, it was finally picked up.
A man’s low cursing voice came through the phone.
“Looking to die, are you? Who is it?”
“Ying Jiuming, you’re dead meat.” Huo Beijiang hung up harshly, and brought out the motorcycle he used before going to college.
On the other end of the phone, the man holding the hulking cell phone felt a chill rising from his feet.
“Who was that? Calling in the middle of the night? A freak?” A young man in blue work pants was hiding curiously in the roadside bushes, asking the man beside him.
