Chapter 40 Woman, you have no heart!
The summer rain came suddenly, hitting the glass windows with great force, disturbing people's sleep all night.
The rain lasted for three days and three nights without stopping. The sky was gloomy and there was no bright sunshine. People's mood also became gloomy.
"It's so annoying. It rains every day and my shoes are all wet." Liu Zhi returned to the classroom and sat down. She immediately kicked off her leather shoes. Her socks were all wet as if they had been soaked in water, and it was very uncomfortable to wrap her feet.
Ming Jing came over with a bag and put it on her desk. "You're so stupid! You didn't even prepare an extra pair of shoes for a rainy day."
"You're the only one who's smart!" Liu Zhi glared at him and rummaged through the bag curiously. "What's this?"
A pair of brand new leather shoes was placed in the eco-friendly bag, and a clean towel and new socks were placed separately in another bag.
Liuzhi's eyes flickered unnaturally and she pursed her lips.
Quite thoughtful.
She didn't rush to change, but looked at Meng Anran who was sitting in her seat drawing, raised her voice and asked, "Anran, are your shoes and socks wet? Here are some new ones, do you want me to change them for you?"
Ming Jing: ???
I prepared it specially for you, and you give it to someone else?
Woman, you have no heart!
"No need." Meng Anran chuckled and picked up the transparent shoe covers beside her feet. "I wore this when I came back, so my shoes and socks didn't get wet."
Seeing that it has rained a lot these days, Meng Yushu bought it for her two days ago. She just needs to put it on outside her shoes and tighten the straps. It is more beautiful and convenient than water shoes.
"Wow, wow, wow, it's good to have a brother. Miss would never wear this kind of thing to lower her image before." Liu Zhi teased.
Meng Anran shrugged, "Better than having your shoes and socks all soaked, right?"
The corners of Liuzhi's lips suddenly dropped, and she pursed her lips speechlessly.
The willow branches are envious, the willow branches are jealous, and the willow branches are unhappy!
"Okay, change quickly. It's easy to catch a cold if your feet are wet." Ming Jing couldn't help but urge Liu Zhi. Although it was summer, the temperature had dropped after several days of rain. Girls would be most likely to get sick if their feet were cold.
"I know. When did you become so nagging!" Liuzhi complained, took off her wet socks, dried her feet and put on dry shoes and socks.
Ming Jing rolled his eyes. He didn't want to talk too much, but if he didn't make it more obvious, his fiancée might run away.
"Oh, right!" Liu Zhi felt comfortable after changing her shoes. She immediately moved closer to Meng Anran and said in a low voice, "I heard that Lu Heng and Lu Yi haven't lived at home since returning to China. It's obvious that Lu Qingcheng is not favored!"
Ming Jing continued quietly, "Have you planted spies in the Lu family? How do you know everything?"
"Song Fangteng told me that he hadn't seen Lu Heng and Lu Yi's cars going in and out of the wealthy area in the past few days. They must not have gone home."
"This isn't new. How could the daughters of the Lu family be favored? Whether it's Lu Qingcheng or An Ran, they're out of place in that family."
"I don't think so. Although the rumors in Beijing circles are that An Ran and Lu Heng and Lu Yi are incompatible, don't we know that? Those two young masters are very strict with An Ran, but their methods are a bit...unacceptable."
Meng Anran pursed her lips and smiled without refuting.
During the break, Lu Qingcheng, who had been well-behaved for a while, started to act up again, lying on the table and crying loudly.
She was a willful rich girl a few days ago, and today she is playing the role of a pretty girl again?
The corners of Liuzhi's lips twitched. Is this little girl a histrionic personality?
Some people in the class had to pretend to care about her because of her status as the daughter of the Lu family.
She sat up and wiped the tears from her face. She cried so hard that her eyes were red and swollen. She looked like a wronged little white rabbit, innocent, harmless and pitiful.
She choked up and said, "My father gave me a pen when he came back from abroad. It's worth tens of thousands of dollars. I couldn't bear to use it. I brought it back today to give to Coco, but now I can't find it."
When Liu Ke heard this, he quickly came over to comfort Lu Qingcheng, "Don't worry, think carefully about where you put it and look for it again."
"I put it in my schoolbag. I've looked for it several times, but I still can't find it." Lu Qingcheng sobbed, looking very pitiful.
Liu Zhi crossed her legs and rolled her eyes. Whose drawer would she find the pen in later? She guessed it would be Meng Anran.
Meng Anran also thought so. In order to verify her idea, she moved all the books in the drawer to the table. Sure enough, she found a rectangular box in the innermost part that did not belong to her.
When I opened it, it was a pen.
"Calm down for a moment, is this what you're looking for?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at Meng Anran.
Lu Qingcheng stared at the box in her hand, looking very surprised. She quickly stood up and went over to open the box and took a look. "It's this pen. Why is it here?"
Meng Anran sneered and glanced at her meaningfully, "Why is it in my drawer? Don't you know better than me?"
Lu Yi had played these little tricks of framing others and crying wolf countless times before, but Meng Anran didn't take them seriously at all and was too lazy to play along with Lu Qingcheng.
Lu Qingcheng's pupils trembled, as if she had been misunderstood and was eager to clarify. "Meng Anran, what do you mean by this? I was planning to give this pen to Keke, so how could it have been in your drawer? I never suspected that you stole my pen, but you are so eager to put the blame on me. I know you are prejudiced against me, but you can't accuse me like this!"
These words turned Meng Anran into a villain who was guilty and anxious to distance himself from the matter and turned the tables.
His mind works very quickly, so he can carry on with this performance.
"The market price of this pen is 27,000, but unfortunately there is no demand. Only 500 have been produced so far." Meng Anran opened her schoolbag and pulled out the pencil case.
He unzipped the bag and dumped it on the table, and four or five identical pens fell out.
Seeing Lu Qingcheng's increasingly ugly expression, Meng Anran curled her lips and said lightly, "Don't you do some background checks before playing tricks? Go back and check the list of shareholders of this brand. My name is at the front, it's quite conspicuous."
This was her first failed investment project. Although the 500 pens had poor sales due to the high price, they were indeed very easy to write with, so she took a few extra for her own use.
Who could have imagined that this scene would happen today?
The trick was exposed on the spot. Lu Qingcheng said with a stiff upper lip: "I misunderstood you. Maybe someone played a prank on you and took my pen and put it in your drawer."
Liu Zhi twirled an identical pen in her hand, her tone full of amusement. "If you're going to lie, why not make it up properly? This project was a venture our class raised funds for during our freshman year of high school. Everyone in the class has a share and the same pen. Who would be so bored as to use your pen to frame An Ran?"
This time Lu Qingcheng was really panicked. She then noticed that since Meng Anran took out the pen, no one else spoke, and even Liu Ke was staring at her with a strange look.
She will be completely isolated in the class!
