Dirty Rose

Xia Cheng had lived in the countryside for nearly eighteen years when she discovered her biological parents were famous real estate magnates.

Eagerly, she returned to her family, only to find...

Chapter 143: Jealousy for a woman who abandoned him

Chapter 143: Jealousy for a woman who abandoned him

Despite what Wan Lu said, Xia Cheng still transferred tens of thousands of yuan and then called the counselor.

After a few days, she returned to school.

Because of her previous experience, she was not brave enough to live outside, so she lived in the dormitory.

The dormitory was for four people, and after Chen Kelin moved out, there were only two girls left.

The relationship among their dormitory members is pretty good. When they see Xia Cheng come back, they all help her pack her things.

There were only forty or fifty days left before the final exams. After packing up her things, Xia Cheng rushed into the library.

More than ten days passed in a flash. During these ten days, although some people did talk about Xia Cheng's life experience behind her back, gradually, as the heat died down, no one mentioned this matter anymore.

Until Wan Lu sent a message to Xia Cheng.

"Zhao Yunqian, do you know her?"

Of course Xia Cheng knew him, she was close to Yu Jingyuan.

"I know her." She replied, "What's wrong?"

Wan Lu called quickly.

"Do you have a grudge against her?" Wan Lu crossed his legs on the other end.

Xia Cheng thought about it and felt that there shouldn't be any such person, as the other party was Liu Haifei's student.

"No...I don't think so..."

"That would be interesting."

"?"

"She was the one who spread the news that you were an illegitimate child."

Xia Cheng's body trembled.

Did she unknowingly anger someone again? Why?! Why do so many people dislike her? It's so exaggerated!

Wan Lu seemed to sense her thoughts and softened his tone.

"Don't worry, I'm still in Hai City and I've already sent someone to keep an eye on her. She's Yu Jingyuan's senior sister, and they seem to have a good relationship, so it's not ruled out that it's because of Yu Jingyuan, not necessarily your problem."

Xia Cheng's throat was stiff and she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she replied softly, "Thank you."

"For the time being, stay at the school and try not to go out. I'll investigate further. Once I'm sure no one poses a threat to you, I'll return to California."

Her heart felt slightly warm.

"Why do you keep helping me?"

Wan Lu laughed, and his voice seemed to hit Xia Cheng's eardrum through the phone, magnetic and bewitching.

"I like you, and I do this to please you."

He speaks his mind.

Xia Cheng's cheeks flushed.

"oh......"

"So, Xia Cheng, please consider me. It doesn't matter if we're in an international relationship, as long as we're together."

*

Because of the final exams, Xia Cheng, who was busy with her studies, quickly put Wan Lu's confession behind her. It was not that she didn't care, but that she didn't have time.

She was very grateful to Wan Lu and had some feelings for him, but it was not to the point of being together.

Wan Lu's behavior puts her under great pressure, but Xia Cheng has no way to protect herself except by relying on him. Alone and weak, she never knows who the next enemy will be.

She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

As the end of the semester was approaching and there were fewer classes, she planned not to get up this morning and sleep until noon.

Even though there was no class in the morning, my roommate got out of bed.

Xia Cheng lifted the bed curtain and asked.

"Don't you have classes this morning? What are you doing?"

The roommate was holding up a cell phone, but it was too far away, so Xia Cheng couldn't see the photo clearly.

"Don't you know? There's a super handsome professor in the law department! He seems to be a substitute, but he's really handsome. The confession wall has gone viral."

"So you guys..."

"We're going to his class now, and I went to reserve a seat last night. Hehe, the front row definitely gives you a better view."

"All right."

Xia Cheng was not interested, but when she heard the word "law", she inevitably thought of someone.

Her roommates went out one after another, and the dormitory became quiet again. She rolled up the quilt and fell into a deep sleep again.

It was not until noon when her roommate came back from get out of class that she suddenly opened her eyes and got out of bed with her cell phone.

"How was it?" she asked her roommate. "Did you see the handsome teacher?"

"I saw it!" My roommate covered her face. "He's really handsome, but he seems so boring. He's not my type."

Another roommate retorted.

"I think it's quite gentle, not bad."

Xia Cheng smiled, changed her clothes, washed up, and went to the cafeteria with her schoolbag. She planned to eat first and then go directly to the library. Today's class was in the evening, so she could still review for a while.

Because it was dinner time, she walked around for a while with her tray before she found a seat. Just as she took out her cup to take a sip of water, a figure appeared in front of her.

"classmate."

Xia Cheng raised her head and saw someone she didn't know.

"Excuse me, are you..."

"I'm a law student. I've run into you several times in the cafeteria. Could you please give me some contact information?"

Contact information...

After this period of time, Xia Cheng felt like she was back in school, constantly being asked for her contact information, and even strangers adding her.

She looked at the somewhat immature boy, did not refuse, and took out her cell phone.

After the boy scanned the code, he left a bottle of milk for her.

Not sure if it was because of a paranoid delusion, Xia Cheng didn't dare to drink it. She held it and looked at it for a while. When she was hesitating, the figure came back again.

"Classmate, I'd better give the milk back to you. I'm allergic to milk."

She handed the milk out, but the person in front of her didn't take it.

She raised her head in confusion.

But she met a pair of lighter eyes. The owner of those eyes was sitting opposite her, holding a tray tall.

"Yu..." Xia Cheng suddenly thought of the substitute teacher that her roommate mentioned this morning.

Could it be him?

"Long time no see." His tone was distant, and his whole body was noble. He stretched his face, held the bottle of milk with his long fingers, put it away, and put his plate on the table.

"Long time no see..." Xia Cheng avoided his gaze.

Yu Jingyuan had already picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly.

Xia Cheng looked around and there was no extra seat anywhere. Could it be that he was here to share the table with her?

Since their falling out, they have had no contact except regarding the case.

Yu Jingyuan looks gentle, but in fact he is even more arrogant than Xun Sheng and Lin Minghe, so he has never looked for me these days.

Today, he unexpectedly appeared in front of me.

Xia Cheng felt very embarrassed.

"I'm done eating. I'm leaving first." She held a mouthful of untouched food. Seeing that Yu Jingyuan ignored her, she felt that the words "long time no see" were just a courtesy. He must hate her in his heart.

Then let him hate himself and never like himself again.

As Xia Cheng stood up, Yu Jingyuan's voice came coldly from beside her.

"Don't you want the milk? After all, it's a gift from someone sincerely."

Xia Cheng turned over again to get the milk.

Yu Jingyuan continued, "You accepted someone else's advances so easily. Don't you have any guard against them?"

Xia Cheng: “?”

Yu Jingyuan: "Be careful, don't chat nonsense with others, and protect yourself."

"Are you blaming me?"

"How could that be?" He gave her a meaningful look. "Who am I to blame you? It has nothing to do with me that you gave your contact information to someone else. But as your former attorney, I'm kindly reminding you."

"Yu Jingyuan, you're weird. Are you jealous?"

Yu Jingyuan put down his chopsticks with a snap.

"Why should I be jealous of a woman who abandoned me?"
