Since breaking up with He Wan, Ye Beichen has avoided all places where he might run into her. However, He Wan is not giving up. She stubbornly believes that she and Ye Beichen are deeply in love and that it is her boyfriend's mother who is hindering her beautiful love.
And Jiang Xin, she must have contributed a lot as well.
Ever since she learned that Ye Beichen had an adopted sister, He Wan felt incredibly bitter. She was a daughter just like herself, so why did they have such different fates?
An orphan with no parents, she grew up in the Ye family, living a life of luxury. Although she was just an adopted daughter, she didn't have to do anything at home and could live comfortably as a young lady.
How am I any less capable than her? Why have I been working since I can remember, taking care of my younger brother, washing his diapers, cooking for the family, and getting a beating if he cries?
In comparison, she felt like an orphan compared to Jiang Xin. The thought that Jiang Xin had been waited on hand and foot since childhood, while she had been serving others since she was a child, caused a huge sense of disparity that gradually changed her mindset. A strong sense of jealousy consumed her rationality.
So when she first saw Jiang Xin, her emotions erupted uncontrollably.
How could Jiang Xin sit at the table to eat!
How could she sit at the table to eat!
She should be like me, holding a broken bowl, huddled in a corner, silently eating a bowl of white rice.
Even an adopted daughter can live a life of luxury, which shows how extravagant the Ye family is. This is her only chance to change her fate, and she will not allow anyone to interfere.
She didn't want to go back to that poor and backward place. If she married into the Ye family, her parents wouldn't dare to beat or scold her anymore, and they would be the ones groveling for her.
When Jiang Xin returned home this time, she asked her brother about his relationship with He Wan. After Ye Beichen finished telling her story, she suddenly asked, "After you started dating, did she still work at the coffee shop?"
Ye Beichen subconsciously replied, "No, after we became boyfriend and girlfriend, she never went to work at that coffee shop again."
After he finished speaking, he realized the hidden meaning in her words. Didn't she tell him that she went to work at the coffee shop to earn a living? How come she doesn't need to earn money now that she has a boyfriend?
It seems that the initial coincidence was actually a deliberate act by her, all for the sake of becoming a big fish herself.
He then remembered that he had bought her many gifts recently and knew she was short of money. If he gave her money directly, He Wan would definitely think he was humiliating her. So Ye Beichen came up with a roundabout way and secretly deposited 5,000 yuan into her meal card.
Jiang Xin had to sacrifice her precious time to educate her brother about different types of girls. As a woman, she knew all too well the tricks of the trade.
Ye Beichen was stunned. He hadn't expected that such a seemingly ordinary greeting would have such a profound meaning. He suddenly realized why Xin Xin understood these things.
Jiang Xin was unaware that her brother had begun to suspect her. She felt that no matter how much she said, there were no concrete examples to support her, so she could only bring up He Wan again: "Have you ever observed her attitude towards other people? Whether it's in a coffee shop or at school?"
Ye Beichen began to recall He Wan's usual behavior. When she worked at the coffee shop, she was exceptionally warm and polite to him. Every time she saw him, she would immediately come up to greet him.
When dealing with other guests... they don't seem as enthusiastic. Although they still offer smiling service, the smile isn't as genuine and natural as when they're with themselves.
And back in school, whenever she saw him from afar, she would run towards him quickly, give him a sweet smile, and say, "What a coincidence!"
However, he had also seen He Wan ignore other classmates. At the time, he thought she had feelings for him, which was why she treated him differently. Now that he thought about it, it wasn't feelings at all; she was clearly treating him like prey.
"She treats me differently than she treats others. She's indifferent to other classmates, but every time she sees me, she's very enthusiastic and will take the initiative to greet me."
Jiang Xin only realized why He Wan seemed familiar after hearing her brother's words—he was just a carbon copy of Yan Ling!
She felt ashamed. She had been so immature back then, letting Yanling yell at her mother so rudely. She never imagined her brother would find a girlfriend like that. It was truly...
Finally, Jiang Xin told Ye Beichen that if you want to know whether a person's words and actions are consistent, you can observe how she interacts with others. If she can be patient and polite to strangers or classmates with whom she has a casual relationship, then that person is consistent with her persona.
On the contrary, some people deliberately create a persona for themselves, making others believe that they are that kind of person. Be careful when you encounter this kind of person.
"Personalization? What kind of persona does He Wan have?"
Ye Beichen was intrigued by the new term his sister used and asked curiously.
"She creates a persona of being upright, kind, and brave, and then uses these qualities to attract your attention. Like you, brother, you're a tall, rich, and handsome guy. As for me, I'm a fair-skinned, beautiful, and rich girl."
"And then there's He Wan's character, which I just mentioned. If she were really like she says, she wouldn't treat you differently; she would treat everyone equally. Just like me, I wouldn't look at struggling students with prejudice. In my eyes, all students are the same, do you understand?"
Ye Beichen said he had learned a lot; he didn't realize there was so much to learn. But how did his sister know all this? And she knew so many terms he didn't know. Was there already a generation gap between high school students and college students?
