"Yi-yi, I...I know you're unhappy about my engagement to your brother, but there's nothing I can do..."
"Zhao Fangfang, can you shut up?"
Before yesterday, the classmates got along well; after yesterday, both the female and male classmates disliked Zhao Fangfang.
I never realized Zhao Fangfang was such a good actress before. Was it because she hid it too well?
"Zhao Fangfang, what are you muttering to yourself? Li Yiyi already said she doesn't know you. Can't you just be sensible and leave? You know you're not welcome, yet you still go looking for trouble."
"That's right. Although we are of high quality and didn't say anything bad about you behind your back, who doesn't know that what happened yesterday was your scheme, Zhao Fangfang?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking."
The classroom was noisy and chaotic, not a suitable environment for learning at all. After a few words were spoken, the class monitor stepped in to smooth things over.
"The classroom is a place for learning. Zhao Fangfang, whether you want to reunite with your family or bring porridge, please do it privately. Don't make it seem like everyone is bullying you by crying and wailing in the classroom."
To be honest, even the class monitor didn't like Zhao Fangfang.
Professor Zhang asked them all to look after Zhao Fangfang. As the class monitor, she was a girl and lived in the dormitory, so she would spend the most time looking after her.
But Zhao Fangfang seemed different from what they had imagined, which made them feel like they had swallowed shit—disgusting and unable to spit it out.
Her eyes reddened even more. Zhao Fangfang glared fiercely at Li Yiyi before walking to her seat and sitting down.
She thought she'd share with a classmate she was close to, but before she could even say anything, a stack of books appeared between them.
It was obvious they didn't want to talk to her, which made Zhao Fangfang feel even more aggrieved; this wasn't what she had expected.
Jiang Rongyi was beautiful, academically gifted, and came from a wealthy family, making her a popular student. She was immediately swayed by what Zhao's parents said.
Even without Zhao's father and mother, she planned to get closer to Jiang Rongyi. The appearance of Zhao's father and mother undoubtedly gave her a great idea.
Although she would have to do something for Li Hun afterwards, it didn't matter. Compared to other options, getting involved with Jiang Rongyi would benefit her the most.
After her success yesterday, she couldn't sleep at all last night, thinking about how popular Jiang Rongyi was, and that she was Jiang Rongyi's fiancée.
Coming to school would definitely attract attention, and even if not, there would be envy and jealousy. Zhao Fangfang considered all of these possibilities, but she didn't consider the possibility of being ignored or disliked.
Zhao Fangfang felt wronged, having lost even her old friends. She didn't understand where she had gone wrong.
She was just forced by her parents to do something that didn't go against her conscience, so why does everyone hate her so much?
Zhao Fangfang, who had always taken care of her, felt extremely wronged and buried her face in her hands, crying. She was truly heartbroken.
The crying was very disturbing. People come to the classroom to learn, not to listen to crying, especially on a weekend.
If you want to hear it, just hit your own younger siblings and you'll hear it.
Children cry more decisively; they wouldn't even look at someone like Zhao Fangfang.
"Enough, Zhao Fangfang, what are you crying for? Are you mourning? It's so early in the morning, do you not want people to study? If you want to cry, go find somewhere else. Don't keep crying here and bothering everyone."
His sarcastic gaze went straight into Zhao Fangfang's eyes.
"What, you think you can get everyone's concern and care by crying?"
Zhao Fangfang felt a pang of guilt; that was indeed what she was thinking.
"Zhao Fangfang, how come I never realized you were so shameless? You schemed about yesterday, didn't you? You did something disgusting and still want everyone's sympathy? Why don't you think about eating farts? If you're going to eat farts, at least be realistic."
The fig leaf was completely ripped off, and for a moment Zhao Fangfang was stunned.
Their designs were so perfect and flawless; how could others possibly see through them? What they were thinking couldn't be shown on their faces.
Just then, Jiang Rongyi walked into the classroom.
Zhao Fangfang's expression changed several times, finally settling on a look of grievance and pleading in her eyes, just like yesterday at the artificial lake, and again at the dinner table.
"Rong Yi, I...I don't know what I did to offend my classmates, they actually ganged up on me."
A beautiful tear escaped her eye and rolled down her cheek. Combined with her fairly attractive eyes, Zhao Fangfang was convinced she couldn't win Jiang Rongyi over.
"Well..."
For a moment, Jiang Rongyi really didn't know what to say.
He glanced at Li Yiyi, only to receive another amused look. He then turned his gaze to Zhao Fangfang, and after a moment's thought, he understood what was going on.
Zhao Fangfang felt uncomfortable because her classmates were standing up for him.
If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. What's the point of seeing him?
“Zhao Fangfang, apologize if you’ve offended someone. Also, I’m not familiar with you, so please call me Jiang Rongyi. I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings.”
"By the way, you know how our engagement came about, and so do I. Whether we'll get married or not is still uncertain. Please keep your distance from me. I don't want to ruin your reputation any further."
Yesterday's incident, where Jiang Rongyi was cleared of all wrongdoing, forced her to get engaged to Zhao Fangfang. But that's only a temporary solution. Once the evidence is obtained, the engagement won't be affected at all.
"What...what did you say?"
Jiang Rongyi also found out. Zhao Fangfang's pupils dilated instantly. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. Where had they gone wrong?
Jiang Rongyi ignored it completely, stood on the podium, and relayed Professor Zhang's words in their entirety.
"Students, please stop what you're doing for a moment. I have something to tell you."
They all gave Zhao Fangfang a meaningful look, and everyone knew that what was about to happen had something to do with her.
Instead of trying to figure out where the plan went wrong, Zhao Fangfang nervously looked at Jiang Rongyi on the podium, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
"The teacher said that school is a sacred place, a place that values fairness and justice. It is commendable for students to help each other, but one-sided care should stop now."
The favoritism has stopped, which means they will have to follow the rules from now on and won't need to worry about Zhao Fangfang anymore.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of relief. Thank goodness, the teacher still has eyes.
In the past, the teachers took care of them and told them to do so voluntarily, but if this continues in the future, they will feel resentful.
Zhao Fangfang was completely devastated. Jiang Rong's words implied that everyone should stop treating her differently and that she no longer needed their help.
Thinking about the subsidy that had just been issued but was confiscated by Zhao's parents, Zhao Fangfang's face turned pale.
Without their care, wouldn't that mean she wouldn't have anything to eat this month and would go hungry, or even ever again?
Thinking of this, Zhao Fangfang looked pleadingly at Jiang Rongyi.
Jiang Rong's eyelid twitched; she simply couldn't understand Zhao Fangfang's thought process. A plea for help in her eyes, anytime and anywhere, was never too late.
It's clearly not a big deal; it's just about putting fairness back in its original place. Why is Zhao Fangfang making such a fuss?
