What else can Sun Zhiming do except agree!
He squeezed the five dollars in his pocket, feeling reluctant to part with it.
But he thought that as long as Lin Ran's mouth was shut, the other educated youth present, such as Shi Yan, Cao Qingyuan, and He Xiaoyue, would not be the kind of people who talk too much.
As long as I tell them again, I believe they won't tell anyone what I did.
Then this matter will not affect me.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and took out all his belongings and handed them to Lin Ran.
But he still held on tightly, trying to make a final struggle.
"Can you leave me some money? This is all I have left."
But will Lin Ran sympathize with him?
dream!
Lin Ran unceremoniously snatched the five-dollar bill and stuffed it into his pocket.
It's impossible to find change!
If she hadn't known that Sun Zhiming was poor, she wouldn't have let him go so easily.
Seeing this, Sun Zhiming knew that the money would not be returned, so he could only ask Lin Ran to promise in a harsh tone:
"You have accepted the money. From now on, you and your third brother are not allowed to mention this matter again."
"Okay, we promise not to mention it."
Lin Ran agreed without saying a word.
Anyway, there are other people here, so if they say something, I can't blame myself.
When the other educated youth saw that Sun Zhiming had compromised so easily, they all criticized him with frustration.
"Sun Zhiqing, why are you afraid of her? I still don't believe that we Zhiqing can't make sense."
"That's five dollars. If you give it all to her, how are you going to live in the future?"
"That's right, we, the educated youth, are standing behind you!"
“…”
They all encouraged Sun Zhiming to be tough and get the money back.
After saying that, Sun Zhiming and the others turned around and continued to attack Lin Ran, all of them asking Lin Ran to quickly return the money to Sun Zhiming.
They didn't know what Sun Zhiming had done, so in their eyes, Lin Ran's behavior at this time was no different from that of a bandit.
When Sun Zhiming heard these words, he said nothing. He just squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, looking dejected.
Acting like a victim.
He wished someone would stand up for him. Even if he couldn't get the money back in the end, he didn't want Lin Ran to have an easy time.
But he underestimated Lin Ran's cruelty.
Lin Ran just gave Shi Yan a wink.
Shi Yan, who had always wanted to argue for Lin Ran, held back until now because of a look from Lin Ran.
Seeing Lin Ran winking at him, he naturally stepped forward and spoke.
Without adding any exaggeration, he simply recounted what Sun Zhiming had done yesterday.
His voice was always clear and calm, without any emotion.
But when heard by everyone, it is convincing.
So much so that as soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, no one even questioned it, and they all looked at Sun Zhiming with contempt.
"I didn't expect Sun Zhiqing to be this kind of person!"
"That's right. I suddenly feel that the compensation Comrade Lin asked for is too little. If someone harms me like this, I will fight him to the death."
"When we just misunderstood Comrade Lin, he didn't even explain himself and just let us blame Comrade Lin. He's so shameless! I think his so-called apology was just to prevent Comrade Lin from exposing him publicly. He hasn't truly acknowledged his mistake at all."
"When I think about how I just spoke up for someone like that, I want to slap myself in the face."
“…”
The educated youth were very angry, especially the female ones.
Even though their relationship with Lin Ran is not that good, some of them even dislike Lin Ran.
But at this time they all stood on Lin Ran's side, staring at Sun Zhiming with a common hatred.
Because no one knows better than them what consequences Sun Zhiming's actions will bring to female comrades.
It can be said that Sun Zhiming has completely incurred public anger this time.
No one likes a companion who will stab you in the back.
Sun Zhiming also felt the angry gazes from the crowd. He finally panicked, but he didn't know how to defend himself. He could only speak without thinking to Shi Yan:
"Shi Zhiqing, I can't help what happened yesterday. Besides, this is a matter between Comrade Lin and me. We've already discussed it. Is there any need for you to interfere?"
"Did Sun Zhiqing forget that I was also a victim yesterday?"
Shi Yan glanced at Sun Zhiming with his slightly cold eyes. Although there was no deterrent effect, Sun Zhiming felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
He finally realized that Shi Yan and Lin Ran had fallen off the cliff yesterday.
But he felt that he was very wronged, because Shi Yan could have avoided getting involved in this mess.
If he had ignored Lin Ran at that time, how could he have fallen?
You like to meddle in other people's affairs, so why should you blame yourself for the mistakes?
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Especially at this moment, Shi Yan had an expressionless face and just looked at him quietly, but he felt an invisible oppressive force, which made him inexplicably afraid of Shi Yan.
Besides, now that Shi Yan has exposed his past, there is no point for him to say more.
This is indeed the case, Sun Zhiming hasn't even said a word.
The other educated youth had already spontaneously spoken up for Shi Yan.
Sun Zhiming knew that his reputation was ruined, so at this moment he could only try his best to recover his losses.
Anyway, he couldn't do anything to Shi Yan now, so he stopped paying attention to Shi Yan and turned to look at Lin Ran.
"Comrade Lin, now that things have turned out this way, there's nothing much to say. Our agreement is canceled, and you have to return the money to me."
As he said this, he was even about to grab it.
