Han Ming also learned the name of the girl who had been so reserved: Zhou Yuan.
It's a nice name, but the character "媛" in it reminded Han Ming of socialites.
It's not really appropriate for someone to go out and socialize while still in school, but everyone has the right to choose their own life, and Han Ming, as an outsider, has no right to criticize him.
Seeing Zhou Yuan's restrained demeanor, Han Ming felt sorry for her and thought she looked quite pitiful.
I also thought to myself that this girl didn't seem like one of those women in society who always talked about money.
Moreover, although she was by Du Yan's side all afternoon, she didn't say much.
Not to mention those gold diggers who go into shopping malls and immediately demand that their sugar daddies buy them this and that.
Could it be that he has some kind of trouble? Han Ming, who always assumed good intentions from others, couldn't help but think to himself.
If she really has her reasons, then I can help her out. Besides, she is Liang Qi's roommate, and they seem to have a pretty good relationship.
Having thought this through his mind, Han Ming cautiously decided to probe indirectly. He carefully chose his words and asked:
"Zhou Yuan, where are you from?"
Everyone found it strange that Liang Qi's so-called brother was not interested in anyone else, but only inquired about Zhou Yuan's situation.
Could it be that he has feelings for Zhou Yuan? Apart from Liang Qi, all the girls had this thought in their minds.
Liang Qi didn't think so, after all, she had met Dong Xiaolu.
Although Zhou Yuan is quite good-looking and has a good figure, she is not far behind Han Ming's girlfriend.
Therefore, Liang Qi did not think that Han Ming would have any feelings for Zhou Yuan, but she thought that Zhou Yuan was the most ordinary family in her dormitory.
Fearing that Han Ming would embarrass her if he asked her this now, Zhou Yuan gently kicked Han Ming under the table.
Fortunately, this girl was sitting right next to Han Ming. If she were a little further away, even with her long legs, she probably wouldn't have been able to reach him.
Han Ming felt someone kicking her, and when she turned her head, she saw Liang Qi winking at her.
He started to wonder if there was really something going on, and if Zhou Yuan really had some kind of trouble.
Zhou Yuan, who was standing to the side, had already endured countless scornful looks from Du Yan all afternoon. Although she had no choice, it was the first time she had ever been with a rich person.
But although those people she was facing all wore smiles on the surface, she knew that their smiles were meant for Du Yan.
They viewed themselves like a vain woman.
They did nothing wrong; they are doing this shameless thing right now, abandoning their dignity and following that scoundrel for the promised money.
Thinking back to the Audi 4S store, how could Zhou Yuan not know that Du Yan had mentioned buying her a car? It was just a rich man's way of luring fish into a trap.
He'll dazzle you with money, then take advantage of you. Once he's won you over, will he still cherish you like a treasure?
Definitely not. I'll just throw myself away like a rag.
Faced with the foreseeable future, Zhou Yuan became timid, especially after encountering Han Ming and his group at the store, she looked down on herself even more.
Just like the pretty girl next to Han Ming said, Du Yan changes women as frequently as he changes clothes.
Will I have a good ending if I follow him?
But with his mother seriously ill and his brother having just found a decent job, the exorbitant medical expenses felt like a mountain weighing him down.
My parents emptied their pockets to pay for my education.
Even her older brother gave up a prestigious undergraduate university to attend an ordinary vocational college in order to realize his dream of becoming a teacher.
My brother's future has also changed because of me; it is no longer bright, no longer something to look forward to.
Are we going to hand over all the burdens to my brother now?
Zhou Yuan couldn't do it. After countless sleepless nights, she finally made up her mind to earn money herself to pay for her mother's medical treatment.
But thinking about it is easier said than doing. A girl from out of town with no connections had no other income besides tutoring.
Forced by circumstances, she was introduced to Du Yan by some people. The man's lecherous eyes terrified her; was there any way out?
Unable to find a way out, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to grit her teeth and start making contact with him.
I never expected to run into Han Ming again, and I never expected that he would be the older brother of my roommate.
When Zhou Yuan saw Han Ming at the school gate, her mind went blank.
Countless thoughts began to emerge uncontrollably: her secret would be exposed, and her sisters would laugh at her.
I've become a woman I once despised.
She was on tenterhooks all night, afraid that Han Ming would expose her secret.
Hearing Han Ming ask about his situation, he had no idea what Han Ming was planning.
Was she going to be laughed at by her sisters? Was she going to be nailed to the pillar of shame at this moment?
With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Yuan did not answer Han Ming, but two lines of hot tears slid down her cheeks first.
When Han Ming saw Zhou Yuan burst into tears, he was caught off guard. He had tried his best to think of his words, but how could asking her where her hometown was make her cry?
When the girls saw Zhou Yuan crying, they all stopped talking and began to comfort her.
Taking the opportunity, Liang Qi whispered in Han Ming's ear:
“Brother Ming, Zhou Yuan’s family lives in a remote mountainous area and they are not well-off. Don’t ask about her family situation, or she will feel embarrassed.”
Han Ming looked puzzled upon hearing this. "So what if we're poor? My family wasn't exactly well-off either."
