Zhou Manman naturally despised what Sun Zhiming did, but if the target was Lin Ran, she would only applaud.

He immediately stood up and pretended to be a good person, his eyes full of gloating joy as he watched the show.

"Lin Ran, aren't you standing here perfectly fine? Nothing's wrong. Sun Zhiqing has already apologized to you. You're not going to hold on to it, are you?"

Never mention what Sun Zhiming did.

Sure enough, when Sun Zhiming heard that Zhou Manman actually spoke for him, his eyes were full of gratitude and joy. He thought that his flattery during this period had finally touched Zhou Manman.

But in his heart, he was even more dissatisfied with Lin Ran's relentless pursuit.

Lin Ran didn't even glance at Zhou Manman. She just glanced at her and then looked away. Her attitude of ignoring her was quite obvious. Anyway, she and Zhou Manman had completely broken off relations.

"I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Zhou Zhiqing. You two are truly birds of a feather. It's hard to believe you're willing to speak up for Sun Zhiqing."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Manman had always looked down on Sun Zhiming, so when she heard Lin Ran comparing her with Sun Zhiming, she naturally got furious.

"Literally."

Lin Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhou Manman as she was settling accounts with Sun Zhiming.

"I was talking to Sun Zhiqing, and you were the one who insisted on jumping out. Could it be that Zhou Zhiqing wanted to speak on Sun Zhiqing's behalf?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I have nothing to do with Sun Zhiqing, so why should I speak on his behalf?"

"Since there isn't anything, could you please shut up? Let's talk about Sun Zhiqing first. If you want to continue, we can talk about how you were kicked off the bus yesterday and what happened at the department store."

When saying this, Lin Ran's eyes were cold and looked straight into the depths of Zhou Manman's eyes.

Zhou Manman's heart sank when she saw this, and she subconsciously avoided Lin Ran's sight.

When I realized what was happening, I was filled with regret.

She was actually intimidated by Lin Ran, a country girl who had never seen the world. She was about to step forward to argue with her again, but when she thought of Lin Ran's warning just now, she backed off again.

After all, what happened yesterday was not glorious. If Lin Ran made it public, it would be embarrassing for him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Manman stomped her feet in anger, glared at Lin Ran fiercely, and ran away without looking back.

After the troublesome person finally left, Lin Ran looked at Sun Zhiming coldly again.

But before she could open her mouth, Sun Zhiming spoke first:

"Comrade Lin, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me and let me go!"

"Sun Zhiqing claims to have acknowledged his mistakes, but is a simple apology enough to get away with it? If I continue to pursue this, I'll be considered petty and narrow-minded."

Sun Zhiming lowered his eyelids to hide the anger in his eyes, and his hands hidden at his sides clenched into fists.

Lin Ran, he finally remembered it today.

He will one day get back the humiliation he suffered today.

But now he could only compromise, first calm Lin Ran down and get over the matter.

"So what exactly does Comrade Lin want me to do?"

Well, to be honest, Lin Ran had never thought about it before.

At first, she only wanted to teach Sun Zhiming a lesson so that he could see the consequences of betraying himself.

But if we really investigate what happened yesterday, it would be a moral issue at most. At most, Sun Zhiming would be blamed by everyone, but it would not cause any substantial harm to him.

Of course she could also use itching powder.

But she had just used it on Accountant Zheng and Widow He two days ago, and the effect had not yet worn off.

If you use it again, it will be more targeted and it will be easy to expose yourself.

Suddenly, she thought that Sun Zhiming had reported her yesterday just to keep the money he had on him.

Since he likes money so much, it would be good to let him suffer some pain first.

With an idea in mind, Lin Ran spoke.

"Since Sun Zhiming wants to resolve this with an apology, what about an apology? You can't just say a few empty words and I have to accept it, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Zhiming hesitated.

To be honest, he really didn't want to pay.

But looking at Lin Ran's attitude, if I don't compensate her today, she probably won't let it go.

He only had five dollars on him. How much would he have to give to apologize to Lin Ran?

I don’t know if one dollar is enough.

Then he has to find someone to break down the five dollars first, otherwise what if Lin Ran swallows all his five dollars?

Just when he was about to discuss with Lin Ran about making apology later, the other educated youth who were unaware of the situation finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Just now when Zhou Manman spoke for Sun Zhiming, they couldn't help it.

But because I didn't understand the reason, I didn't dare to speak up easily.

But now seeing that Lin Ran was openly blackmailing Sun Zhiming, they all began to stand up for Sun Zhiming.

In their view, no matter what Sun Zhiming's character was, as long as he was an educated youth, he was one with them.

To safeguard Sun Zhiming's interests is to safeguard their interests as educated youth.

Of course, there were also people who simply felt sorry for Sun Zhiming, because everyone at the educated youth site knew that Sun Zhiming was very poor and he would not have any extra money to compensate Lin Ran.

"Comrade Lin, your request is too much!"

"That's right, what's the big deal? Sun Zhiqing has apologized to you again and again, and you're still asking for compensation. Isn't this bullying?"

"I think they're bullying us educated youth because we're from outside the area!"

"No, we must ask the team leader to judge this matter. If the team leader protects his daughter, then we will go to the Youth League Office, go to the county town, and find a place to seek justice!"

“…”

"Okay, go ahead and find it. I also want to find a place to reason."

Everyone was talking excitedly, but Lin Ran was not moved at all. She even looked at them with encouragement, which made everyone unable to continue talking.

They had no choice but to turn their attention to Sun Zhiming.

"Sun Zhiqing, what exactly happened yesterday? Tell us quickly so we can help you!"

But Sun Zhiming was too busy trying to hide it, so how could he possibly tell it out loud? So he ignored those educated youths and asked Lin Ran directly:

"Comrade Lin, does that mean as long as I pay you compensation, we can forget about what happened yesterday, and you promise not to mention it to anyone else?"

Sun Zhiming finally faced reality and knew that Lin Ran would not let go of what happened yesterday. Now he could only spend money to avoid disaster.

Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her lips. This man is ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts.

"Did Sun Zhiqing make a mistake? Now you have to apologize to me. Your gift is just an apology. If you want me to keep silent about what happened yesterday, that's another price."

"you!"

Sun Zhiming was so angry that he almost burst into curses, and his teeth were chattering.

This Lin Ran is really too much!

"My patience is limited. I wonder what Sun Zhiqing has considered."

Their family was waiting for them to go back for dinner, so Lin Ran didn't have time to waste with Sun Zhiming anymore.
