Xinyan wanted to ask what happened with Bai Aiwen’s fiancé, but she didn’t dare to voice it.
At that moment, Zhang Zhaodi said boldly, "Aiwen, what exactly is going on with your fiancé that it’s affecting his future and he has to break off the engagement to secure it?"
Bai Aiwen’s previously calm emotions were once again stirred up.
Doctor Chang timely walked over, "Alright, if you don’t leave now, there won’t be any food left in the cafeteria. Remember to take some with you."
The group refrained from asking further, and Cui Haili said to Bai Aiwen, "You rest first, I’ll bring you some food later."
After leaving the infirmary, Qiao Shanmei said, "I bet that guy found someone else at school, that’s why he had his family go to Aiwen’s house to break the engagement."
"Not necessarily, they got together through mutual affection."
"It’s really hard to say."
"Maybe he’s found someone with better conditions, or someone prettier, and made up an excuse to have his parents end the engagement."
"Sigh, Aiwen is really pitiful."
"Our Aiwen is a student at Jing University, her future is bright, the Xie Family will regret it."
"Alright, we still don’t know what’s going on, stop making conjectures."
"No matter the reason, it’s wrong of them to break off the engagement."
Finally, Cui Haili said, "Alright, whatever the reason may be, let’s not ask anymore. If Aiwen wants to say, she will."
She worked as an educated youth in the countryside and knows well the situation there.
In the village, a girl being rejected from an engagement not only ruins her own reputation but also implicates her family’s.
Not to mention she and that Xie were high school classmates with a foundation of feelings, this sudden break-off, regardless of the reason, is hurtful for Aiwen and her family.
The lunch was delivered by Cui Haili, although Bai Aiwen’s fever had subsided, her spirits were low, so she also asked for leave in the afternoon.
After the afternoon classes, Xinyan and the others returned to the dormitory first, to check on Bai Aiwen and to put their textbooks back.
What they didn’t expect was that as soon as they entered, Bai Aiwen got out of bed, didn’t say a word, and bowed deeply to Jiang Peiqin, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Jiang Peiqin frowned slightly, "Bai Aiwen, what do you mean by this?"
Bai Aiwen still looked pale, "Peiqin, I know this is somewhat abrupt, but I really have no other option. I want to know what exactly happened to Xie Shanyuan?
Even if we truly can’t be together, I want to know the truth so I can let it go. I don’t have the capability, nor does my family, hence I want to ask you to help me as a fellow classmate."
After she returned to the dormitory from the IV drip, she kept thinking about this matter. When the Xie Family came to break off the engagement, they were vague, only saying that Xie Shanyuan had some unavoidable difficulties, but they didn’t specify what.
Her family felt that the Xie Family looked down on her, considering their young lady was so outstanding, yet they came to break off the engagement, they couldn’t tolerate it and directly agreed to the disengagement.
But the feelings she and Xie Shanyuan had over the years weren’t fake, so she sought the truth.
Jiang Peiqin initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the once chatty Bai Aiwen now in such a state, she really felt bad for her. Plus, seeing everyone’s expressions, she felt embarrassed to say no.
Sighing inwardly, she thought Bai Aiwen was a bit cunning, her words honest. For the sake of their classmate relationship, she’d help her this time: "Give me his information, I’ll ask my family to find someone to inquire."
After she said that, she added, "Just this once."
She didn’t want to keep troubling her family due to classmates, once she opened this door, everyone might approach her if they had issues, and that’s not acceptable.
Bai Aiwen was so excited she quickly promised, "I won’t, just this once, thank you, Peiqin."
Afraid Bai Aiwen would feel hurt, the people in the dormitory decided not to mention the issue again.
Seeing that there was nothing more, Xinyan prepared to return to the courtyard.
