She had planned that once the engagement was complete, everything would be settled. She planned to get pregnant, give birth, kill Jiang Rongyi, and the Jiang family would fall into her hands. Then she'd have money.
No one could stop them anymore, but Jiang Rongyi and the others were too clever; they could tell at a glance that it was her scheme.
Her actions have been exposed, making it extremely difficult for Jiang Rongyi to marry her.
The news of her special treatment and scholarship being revoked threw her into complete disarray. Having no other option, Zhao Fangfang went to Yao Dawei for help.
After all, it was Yao Dawei who suggested getting close to Jiang Rongyi in the first place. In Zhao Fangfang's mind, Yao Dawei was omnipotent, and she could always turn to him when she encountered problems.
“Brother Dawei, Jiang Rongyi and the other classmates know that I orchestrated this, and even Professor Zhang knows.”
She slowly uttered these words in Yao Dawei's arms, but to her surprise, Yao Dawei was even more agitated. He pushed her away abruptly, gripping her shoulders tightly with increasing force.
"Fangfang, are you telling the truth? No, how did they find out? Did your parents tell them, or did that guy named Li Hun tell them?"
He wondered if Zhao Fangfang had told him, but thankfully, Yao Dawei's mind came back to him at the crucial moment.
Anyone could tell, but Zhao Fangfang would never.
Zhao Fangfang loved him so much, she even schemed against people for him, how could she betray him! Thinking of this, Yao Dawei couldn't help but feel smug.
So what if I got into university? So what if I'm promising and young? I still can't live without him.
"Brother Dawei, it hurts. Let go first, my shoulder hurts."
He was incredibly strong, and Zhao Fangfang couldn't resist.
"Fangfang, I'm...I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, please don't blame me."
As soon as Yao Dawei admitted his mistake, Zhao Fangfang immediately softened. She herself couldn't accept the news, let alone Yao Dawei.
“Brother Dawei, I know you didn’t mean it, you were just in a hurry.”
The understanding words made the impatience in Yao Dawei's eyes vanish in an instant. That wasn't what he wanted; he wanted Zhao Fangfang to quickly explain everything clearly.
“Brother Dawei, I don’t know how things got exposed. Today, I did as you said and cooked a bowl of plain porridge and brought it to school, so that Jiang Rongyi would fall for my tenderness and affection.”
Does a bowl of plain porridge equal tenderness and affection?
Li Yiyi looked at Jiang Rongyi with great shock. Had her brother eaten too many delicacies to actually like a bowl of plain porridge?
Su Shu and the others stared at Zhao Fangfang and Yao Dawei in astonishment, completely baffled. They had never seen anyone use a bowl of plain porridge to express themselves before.
When it comes to writing Chinese language essays, they can spout a lot of grand principles to romanticize the act of cooking porridge, but that's reality.
In an era when there wasn't enough meat to eat, who would want to drink plain porridge?
At this point, Yao Dawei felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he wanted Zhao Fangfang to cook plain porridge; it was mainly because he didn't have money to buy meat. If he did, he would definitely have Zhao Fangfang cook a bowl of plain meat porridge.
Li Yiyi: ...What's the difference?
Zhao Fangfang completely missed Yao Dawei's unease. In her mind, it was a waste to give Jiang Rongyi plain porridge, and she wouldn't have cooked it at all if Yao Dawei hadn't insisted.
Plain congee is such a delicacy; only she deserves to eat it.
Jiang Rongyi is nobody. She has no right to touch or eat Yao Dawei's things.
"But I didn't see Jiang Rongyi when I went there. After a while, Jiang Rongyi came back from the teacher's office and said two things: first, to cancel the special treatment I received, and second, to cancel my scholarship."
"What!"
This time, Yao Dawei was even more shocked.
Both were canceled, so what was left for him? Some subsidies—Zhao's parents didn't know how much they had, but Zhao Fangfang would give him half each time.
He'd heard about the scholarships too; they were quite a lot of money. If he lost them, he'd be missing out on a huge sum of money.
"That's too much."
What Yao Dawei was thinking, he said aloud, and Zhao Fangfang wholeheartedly agreed, staring at him with adoration.
"Brother Dawei, you're right, they went too far."
"Fangfang, is there any chance to salvage this?"
Unwilling to accept the loss of the money, Yao Dawei tried to get Zhao Fangfang to come up with a solution. It would have been better if they had never had it, but they were almost there and then it was gone all of a sudden. It was truly heartbreaking.
Zhao Fangfang thought for a moment, then looked miserable. It was all her fault for being useless and causing Brother Dawei so much worry.
"No, Brother Dawei didn't. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that Jiang Rongyi knows I did it on purpose. He definitely won't marry me so quickly. If we keep dragging this out, then our child..."
"Shhh."
"Fangfang, be careful, the walls may be listening."
Li Yiyi and the others, hiding behind, didn't know what to say. They had all heard them even before the wall was between them.
Their gazes unconsciously fell on the top of Jiang Rongyi's head. Perhaps it was because the sunlight was too bright and the leaves were too green, but they saw that the top of Jiang Rongyi's head was green.
Being a bad friend is one thing, but for Li Yiyi, his dear sister, to look at him with such disdain is unacceptable.
Jiang Rongyi manually turned Li Yiyi's head back to normal, not wanting to offer any explanation.
"I'm sorry, Brother Dawei, what I was thinking was, what will happen to our future if Jiang Rongyi doesn't marry me!"
When the future was mentioned, Yao Dawei seemed a little guilty, his eyes glancing repeatedly at Zhao Fangfang's stomach.
He couldn't bear to part with it either.
"Fangfang, since they already know, we have no choice but to use other methods."
Yao Dawei spoke with an extremely serious expression, and Zhao Fangfang unconsciously bent down to listen intently.
"Fangfang, I'm going out to get some medicine this week. Wait for me here next week at this time. For the sake of our child, we have to do something. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you then."
Tears streamed down Zhao Fangfang's face. She understood what Yao Dawei meant. Touching her stomach, Zhao Fangfang nodded resolutely.
“Brother Dawei, for you and for our child, I will not suffer any injustice.”
She looked so wronged and submissive, as if she were the one who had been schemed against. Li Yi's eyes twitched at the sight.
So it turns out that the scheme against Jiang Rongyi wasn't entirely about her. Even without Li Hun and his group, Zhao Fangfang and Yao Dawei would have eventually set their sights on Jiang Rongyi anyway.
With the two sides combined, Jiang Rong will at most be even more unlucky!
"Fangfang, I'm leaving now. Don't contact Jiang Rongyi this week, and don't have any conflicts with anyone else. I'm afraid they'll hurt you and the baby. Wait for me to come back. We will definitely succeed in the end, and we will be together."
"Okay, Dawei, I'll listen to you. I'll wait for you to come back."
Like two lovers about to be separated by life and death, Zhao Fangfang cried her heart out, unable to stop the tears, while Yao Dawei kept turning back, clearly reluctant to part.
Everyone else left, leaving only Li Yiyi and the others behind.
"Brother, you're so lucky."
The fact that Yao Dawei and Zhao Fangfang have their eyes on Jiang Rongyi shows that she has some potential and some money. Without these, others might not even be interested in her.
This shows that Jiang Rongyi still has some merits.
