Ye Linchen knew that Feng Linlin was genuinely kind to her, and she didn't blame Feng Linlin.

Moreover, the feeling of being all alone in this world is just too unbearable.

She experienced this in her past life, and she hopes to make good friends in this life as well.

So Ye Linchen briefly explained what had happened to Feng Linlin.

"I won't say anything if my grades are bad and I don't get into university, but why is it that even though I got into the top class, my mom is trying to smear me to prevent me from studying? Doesn't she think about how I'll work and live in the future if my reputation is ruined?"

This is a key reason why Ye Linchen wants public opinion to be on his side.

In her past life, she was burdened by her reputation, and everything she did was questioned. She doesn't want to be like that in this life.

Moreover, just as Meng Xueyun said, no matter how good her grades are, if her character is bad, the school will not support her.

She must stand on the moral high ground.

"She actually went to this lengths so that I could work and support Meng Zihan's college entrance exams!"

Ye Linchen became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, "But I can compromise on anything, except this!"

"I support you!" Feng Linlin was completely on her side, but she was also worried, "But where can you go? Without a good environment, you won't be able to study."

"You've seen my situation at home; I don't even have a place to stay. You're even forcing Meng Zihan to use the things you lent me. If I continue to stay at home, I definitely won't be able to take the college entrance exam."

Feng Linlin nodded.

After Ye Linchen left her house yesterday, Feng Linlin and Xu Yuru discussed this issue.

They felt that given Meng Xueyun's attitude, it was unrealistic for Ye Linchen to study properly at home, and now facts have proven that this was indeed the case.

Feng Linlin fully supports Ye Linchen's departure.

Gu Jingran, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Have you decided where you want to go?"

Ye Linchen looked around and whispered, "I actually have some money on me. After I graduated from junior high school, my parents didn't want me to continue my studies and never gave me tuition fees again. I earned my school fees by collecting recyclables in the countryside. I've persevered until now, and I'm only a few months away from giving up. I want to use the little money I have to rent a cheap place and find a job to earn tuition and living expenses."

Feng Linlin felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Children their age are all pampered and cherished by their parents.

Xiao Chen is so pitiful.

"My uncle has a vacant house, why don't you..."

Ye Linchen immediately refused: "No, I can't involve you. If my mom finds out, she'll blame you for ruining our family relationship. I'll just rent a place. Don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself."

Feng Linlin felt even worse.

Even now, Ye Linchen would rather suffer himself than drag others down with him.

She was so sensible and kind, yet her own mother accused her of lying and being immature, and even kicked her out of the house.

Aunt Meng is truly blind!

"Where do you plan to rent? Have you decided yet?" Gu Jingran asked again.

Ye Linchen thought for a moment and did not tell the truth.

"I don't have any ideas yet. I'll look around nearby first, and if there's nothing suitable, I'll just stay in a guesthouse for a few days."

Ye Linchen smiled at them, trying to sound casual, "You won't end up homeless, don't worry."

"It's not easy to find a place to stay these days," Gu Jingran said. "Guesthouses aren't cheap. Do you have enough money on you?"

Ye Linchen nodded: "I still have enough money to last a few days."

Gu Jingran glanced at her and took out his wallet: "You can't skimp on accommodation and food. You're about to take the college entrance exam, and there are expenses everywhere. I have two hundred yuan here. Take it first, and come to me if you have any difficulties."

Ye Linchen quickly shook his head, refusing to accept his money: "No need, I have enough money."

“Brother Gu is right,” Feng Linlin advised her. “If you want to find a house in a good location with good security, it will definitely not be cheap. What if you can’t find one? You’ll have to stay in a guesthouse for a few more nights. Having money will put your mind at ease.”

Seeing that Ye Linchen still refused to accept it, she continued, "Brother Gu is in business and has money, so you don't need to feel embarrassed."

Ye Linchen thought about his current balance and didn't insist any further.

“Then I’ll write an IOU to Brother Gu. Consider this money a loan from me, and I’ll pay you back as soon as I have the money.”

Gu Jingran paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Ye Linchen took out paper and pen from his bag, wrote an IOU, and left Gu Jingran's pager number.

"I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money."

"No rush." ​​Gu Jingran glanced at the note, nodded, and praised, "Your handwriting is quite good."

Ye Linchen bit her lip and smiled, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Seeing that she had accepted the money, Feng Linlin became concerned about another issue: "If you go to rent a place by yourself, what if the landlord takes advantage of your young age and tries to scam you?"

"No, I've been through a lot in the countryside. Renting a place won't be a problem," Ye Linchen reassured her. "After the New Year, we'll have to catch up on our studies, and by then we'll definitely have found a place. I'll invite you over."

She knew that her address was only a temporary secret and would definitely be revealed once school started.

However, I believe this period of time will be enough for her to find a job and earn money for living expenses and tuition.

"Are you really okay?" Feng Linlin was still worried.

"It's alright." Ye Linchen smiled and patted Feng Linlin's shoulder. "Go back now. You've been out for so long, your mother must be worried about you."

Gu Jingran noticed that Ye Linchen was in a hurry to leave, and said to Feng Linlin, "Let's go back." Then he said to Ye Linchen, "Be careful."

"I know, don't worry."
