The more she said, the angrier she became. Han Qiqing shook her so forcefully in rage as though she was trying to pop off An Zhixin’s head.
“I… I…” An Zhixin’s face turned pale. She was in a fluster as if she had lost her direction.
Song Shijun pulled Han Qiqing aside and said softly, “Alright, be gentler to girls.”
Han Qiqing glared fiercely at him.
Song Shijun chuckled lightly and walked over to An Zhixin. He said in a gentle tone, “An Zhixin, I don’t think you are stupid. But if you at least have some sense in you, you will understand how the current situation is for you. Do you think that the person behind the scene can still protect you? Oh, or should I say, will he even choose to protect you?”
An Zhixin’s pupils magnified as she stared at him.
“Do you understand? You are already the other party’s sacrificial piece, of no more value. Do you think we won’t be able to find anything if you just keep quiet? It’s only a matter of time. You are the only one who can save yourself now. As for whether you will want to take this chance, that all depends on you, got it?”
Being born into a political family, Song Shijun was well-versed in communication skills.
His words stirred An Zhixin greatly.
An Zhixin’s eyes looked defeated as she suddenly fell sitting on the ground.
“I’ll talk… What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything! I only ask for one thing…”
Song Shijun gave her a look of approval, “Good girl!”
Han Qiqing curled her lips derisively. “You’re still demanding things?”
An Zhixin looked to Yin Shaojie, her lips trembling.
Sitting on the sofa, he was cool and proud, so aloof and out of reach.
In this moment, she was deeply aware of how far she was from him. It was a distance she would never be able to cross.
She finally knew how ridiculous her delusions were.
She wanted to be with someone like Yin Shaojie? It wouldn’t even be possible to dream of it!
But she still didn’t give up. She braced herself and said, “Y-Young Master Jie, I only have one request. That is, I want to stay in Shangde, even if I am to be in Class F!”
Yin Shaojie stared at her in a cold gaze and said simply. “Impossible.”
Since Xiaoxiao didn’t like having An Zhixin in Shangde, he wouldn’t provide her any possibility of staying.
Han Qiqing scoffed, “Humph! You still want to stay in Shangde? Why don’t you go look at yourself in the mirror? Are you even worthy? Don’t think that you are somebody after acting like a rich missy for a few days. I’m telling you, even if you’re really a rich missy, you won’t even be qualified to carry Xiaoxiao’s shoes!”
A jolt shot through An Zhixin’s chest and her face turned ashen.
The scene of the first day of the autumn outing flitted into her mind. When Mu Xiaoxiao and Su Lin confronted each other, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t appear any weaker than Su Lin. In fact, she seemed even stronger than Su Lin.
And now, after hearing what Han Qiqing just said…
Even if An Zhixin was stupid, she knew that Mu Xiaoxiao wasn’t just an ordinary person.
Right, how could she have thought that Mu Xiaoxiao was only an ordinary person?
Yin Shaojie liked Mu Xiaoxiao so much that he would be docile toward her, and they even lived together.
Even Han Qiqing and Ye Sijue, from the Big Four Families, were friends who had been close with Mu Xiaoxiao for many years. And Song Shijun, who was the son of the mayor, was even being ordered around by Mu Xiaoxiao..
Then… who exactly was Mu Xiaoxiao, to be able to have all of these things?
An Zhixin suddenly couldn’t bear to continue thinking about it, and her heart felt chilly.
