"Lian, you've changed. You never treated me like this before."
He Qianqian said, her voice choked with sobs as she shed tears.
Dao Lian originally didn't want to pay attention to her and turned to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Zhuang Yi standing not far behind her.
"Zhuang Yi, you've come at the right time, she—"
"Dao Lian, you bastard! I treated you like a brother, and you actually bullied your sister-in-law!" Without saying a word, Zhuang Yi threw punch after punch.
Dao Lian was knocked back several times by the blow, and was momentarily stunned.
Damn it, is this man's brain filled with tofu dregs?
Otherwise, how could someone be so mentally deficient?
Brothers and women, and he actually beat up his brother without saying a word.
Of course, if this woman were a good person, he could understand if his brother beat him up, but this woman is definitely out of her mind.
"You didn't even ask me what happened before you started hitting me. I can't afford to be your brother."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yi was stunned.
What did you just say?
"I'm telling you, I can't afford this brother of yours." Dao Lian took a deep breath. "She's seducing me, you know? She's crying because I rejected her?"
"Are you talking nonsense?"
"I'm not making this up. There are security cameras in the hallway. You can go and check for yourself."
Dao Lian pointed to the ceiling above, "You mean, in order not to make her cry, I have to accept her advances? Is that what brothers do?"
"That's impossible." Zhuang Yi looked at He Qianqian. "Qianqian, tell me, why are you crying? What did Dao Lian do to you?"
"I—" He Qianqian burst into tears before she could speak, "Zhuang Yi, could you please ask Wen Lian why he's ignoring me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yi's expression changed.
"Is that why?" If that's really the case, then what does what he's doing now mean? What does it mean to turn against his own brother for her sake?
They don't care, they've already posted it, what can he do about it?
"Mm." He Qianqian nodded vigorously, completely disregarding Zhuang Yi's feelings. Her mind was entirely on Dao Lian, and she didn't even notice the sudden change in Zhuang Yi's expression.
"Zhuang Yi, we're good friends, aren't we?"
"Good friends? Are they all good friends you can sleep with?" Zhuang Yi sneered, feeling a sharp pain in his heart for a moment.
"Zhuang Yi, why are you saying all this?"
He Qianqian called out softly.
"Didn't you promise me that this wouldn't be made public?" He Qianqian scolded, "Why did you go back on your word?"
It was still in front of Dao Lian.
"That's right, I agreed. Besides, from now on, I won't mention it again. I'll pretend this never happened." Zhuang Yi sneered. "Alright, give me back the badge. You're not allowed to enter the student council anytime you want anymore. Get out." She actually despises him like that? He, Zhuang Yi, is the prince of the campus. Countless women admire him. Why should he make himself feel heartbroken and miserable for a woman like this?
"Zhuang Yi, what's wrong with you? How could you do this to me?"
"What did I do? Just as you wished, from now on, we're not even friends anymore. As for sleeping with you, I'll compensate you. Don't worry, it'll be the maximum compensation."
He Qianqian frowned, looking puzzled. What's wrong with this man too? Why is he throwing a tantrum?
Before He Qianqian could even open her mouth to question her, the other students from the student council, at Zhuang Yi's signal, pulled her out.
Why are they all treating her like this? What did she do wrong?
But no one paid any attention to her, and after Zhuang Yi took her name tag, she could no longer enter the building.
He Qianqian stood in front of the student council building, her face full of confusion.
In the following days, He Qianqian lingered near the building many times, but whenever she got close, someone would appear and drive her away.
She could no longer enjoy the benefits that Zhuang Yi had brought her.
For example, the cafeteria, or other places.
Zhuang Yi seemed to have forgotten about her altogether.
This made her very uncomfortable.
She had grown accustomed to being looked at with envy and to being fawned over. Now, having nothing, she was being looked at with pity. It was hard not to feel a sense of injustice.
These people are so stingy.
They treated her like this for no reason.
He used to treat her like a princess and cherish her.
Aren't they good friends?
"Hey, isn't this He Qianqian? She's fallen so low that she has to eat this stuff now."
There were two dishes and a soup on the table, which was quite a feast, though of course it couldn't compare to He Qianqian's previous high-profile display.
Previously, because Zhuang Yi stood up for her, her meals consisted of four dishes and a soup. Since she couldn't finish them all by herself, she invited many friends to eat with her.
It was so lively back then.
She is not short of money now. Just as Zhuang Yi said, the compensation he gave her was the maximum amount he could afford.
Two million.
Her family's total savings amounted to less than 200,000 yuan.
But she ended up with two million.
He Qianqian wired 500,000 yuan to her family.
He only had 1.5 million left in his own account.
This money belongs to her.
Once it's all spent, it's gone.
This made her feel very distressed, and she dared not spend money recklessly anymore.
Their standard of living dropped a notch immediately.
If she had never lived a life of luxury, her current life would already be a very happy one. But she had enjoyed even better things in the past, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
