"I can't help you with this, but I know someone who can."
Jiang Xiu curled her lips. No matter what, Ye Luo was Ye Yu's biological daughter. It concerned the face of the Ye family. She had to both extricate herself and push the other party into this fire pit. Almost instantly, she thought of a very suitable person.
"who?"
"Wait here, I'll go and call her over. You've met her before."
Despite her doubts, Ye Luo waited for her to call the person over. Soon after, she saw Guo Xueyun follow her in, seemingly confused.
"What do you want?"
After a period of cooperation, Guo Xueyun has been mostly disciplined, but her inherent arrogance still makes her act like a spoiled young lady.
"It wasn't me who contacted you, it was her."
Jiang Xiu sat down in her office chair, pointed at Ye Luo, and looked at Guo Xueyun.
Upon hearing this, she frowned and glanced at the other person up and down a few times.
"You were looking for me?"
She had heard some stories about Ye Luo. To be honest, Guo Xueyun felt that the two were somewhat similar. If it weren't for Jiang Wanqing's interference, they should have met at Huada University, not here.
The occasion was inappropriate, and the feeling of being inferior made Guo Xueyun feel very uncomfortable, and her expression naturally turned sour.
"She's the person you said could help me?"
Ye Luo ignored her and questioned Jiang Xiu on her own.
"If you want to scheme against Cheng Ran, no one can help you better than her. They are childhood sweethearts. Although Comrade Guo did not succeed, she has a wealth of experience."
"They're childhood sweethearts?" Ye Luo frowned, instinctively treating the other party as an enemy upon hearing this term.
But soon, she realized something and looked at Jiang Xiu with surprise almost overflowing in her eyes.
"When did I say I wanted to calculate the distance..."
"You don't need to say it, I already know, it's an unspoken understanding. Besides him, is there anyone else worth you going to such lengths for?"
"you……"
Suddenly regretting coming to find her, Ye Luo bit her lip. This situation made her feel a bit passive. It was still not too late to leave now, otherwise what if she got tricked?
She hesitated for a moment, then lifted her foot to walk towards the door, but Jiang Xiu's words made her stand still.
"Comrade Guo has a kind of medicine that can make you pregnant with Cheng Ran's child. Don't you want it?"
"What medicine?!"
Ye Luo and Guo Xueyun spoke at the same time, their eyes meeting, a hint of hostility brewing between them.
Realizing something, Guo Xueyun's eyes widened, and she grabbed Ye Luo's arm.
You like Cheng Ran?!
"So what! Let go! Looks like you're a loser in the past. Asking you for help? Humph, forget it, I'm afraid I'll just end up getting myself into a mess!"
She shook off Guo Xueyun's hand, patted her sleeves, and gave a disgusted look.
The atmosphere quieted down. Guo Xueyun clenched her teeth tightly and glared fiercely at Jiang Xiu, with a ruthless look that seemed to want to devour her.
"You know perfectly well that Cheng Ran is me..."
"But you didn't succeed, did you? You can't even see him now. Don't you want to cause Jiang Wanqing some trouble? If I were you, I wouldn't let my biggest enemy have what I can't have. At least Ye Luo is on our side. If she succeeds, it will only benefit you. You don't even mind that Jiang Wanqing has been with you, so why would you mind having another woman? You can get revenge while grabbing a man, isn't that good?"
Jiang Xiu's twisted logic convinced Guo Xueyun, and she actually began to waver. She realized that she couldn't get close to Cheng Ran right now, and her family's reputation couldn't withstand any more damage...
Let Ye Luo test the waters... it's not a bad idea.
Each of the three had their own thoughts. Seeing that the other party had no intention of giving in, Ye Luo was too lazy to continue the argument. But just as she was about to leave, she was stopped.
"Stop right there! I can give you the medicine, but whether you can handle it or not is none of my business. You'll have to bear all the consequences yourself. Are you sure you can handle it?"
A sinister smile curved Guo Xueyun's lips. She had already thought of several ways to achieve the best of both worlds. Even if she couldn't destroy Cheng Ran, she could still bring Ye Luo down from her pedestal. She believed that Jiang Xiu thought the same way, otherwise she wouldn't have dragged her into this mess.
Hmph, everyone wants to keep their hands clean? It's not that easy. She secretly raised an eyebrow.
"Do you really have the medicine?"
"Of course, someone of your status would find it difficult to buy something like this. Giving it to you saves you the trouble. So, do you want it or not?" Guo Xueyun asked irritably.
She rolled her eyes, not wanting to appear too eager to help, otherwise this little vixen would become suspicious.
"want!"
...
After the exchange meeting, Jiang Wanqing's value and reputation rose to another level, and the rumors about her love life at school were indeed suppressed.
Ye Luo listened to Professor Xue's advice and spent most of his time in the laboratory, refraining from causing trouble for a short period of time.
That day, Jiang Wanqing was about to go home when a classmate asked her to stay a while.
"Wanqing, could you help me with this question? I still don't quite understand. Do you mind if it takes up a little of your time?"
The speaker was a female classmate who didn't talk much and just buried herself in her experiments. Jiang Wanqing glanced at her watch, feeling a little conflicted.
"Ah... if you mind it a lot, I'll ask you again tomorrow, but... if I do that, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
Professor Xue had often told her to mentor her classmates more, but if the time was really so tight, it would inevitably give people something to say. Since it was just a normal exchange, she thought about it and agreed.
"It's okay, let me take a look."
"That's great! I knew you were a good person!" The female classmate jumped up with joy.
Cheng Ran had just arrived at school and waited for a while, but Jiang Wanqing still hadn't come out by the usual time.
But a face that surprised him appeared. Ye Luo was keeping a low profile today, wearing only a simple braid, a polka-dot shirt, and black trousers.
"You've come to pick up Wanqing again?"
"Um."
Cheng Ran gave a casual reply, not really paying attention to her. Ye Luo hugged the book, her fingers tightening.
"You don't need to be so wary of me. I've thought it through. Look, I haven't bothered you for so long, aren't you worried? I'm not some lowly person. I've been spending all this time in the lab. Even if you don't accept me, can't we just be friends?"
She looked somewhat disappointed, but there was no other emotion in her eyes, which surprised Cheng Ran, who frowned slightly.
"There's no need for that. Maintaining a proper distance between men and women is good for everyone."
"Alright then, I knew it..."
With her last glimmer of hope extinguished, Ye Luo took out a handkerchief from her pocket, gently tossed it into the air, and let it brush past Cheng Ran's nose.
A strange floral fragrance wafted by, and he instinctively stepped back. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and a heat surged from his chest. He quickly grabbed a tree next to him for support.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Don't touch me!" Cheng Ran used the little strength he had left to push her away.
She pressed down her lips and took the initiative to support him: "Wanqing won't be out so soon, let me take you to rest first."
