After school, Jiang Xin didn't linger outside but went straight home. Sitting in the car, she kept thinking about He Wan and Yan Ling, and she discovered that the two of them had many similarities.
They are equally ruthless in achieving their goals, completely absorbed in their own world, and refuse to listen to any advice from others.
This He Wan has ulterior motives; she even tries to frame her mother. Does she think that coming to me will solve everything?
When Jiang Xin got home, the others hadn't returned yet. She wanted to do two practice tests, but she just couldn't concentrate on them.
Yan Ling's words today disturbed her thoughts. In her past life, around this time, after she had already established a romantic relationship with him, she had said the same things to Yan Ling.
His mother clearly did nothing wrong, yet he went around slandering her. But this time, she had no contact with Yanling, and he had never met his mother. Why did he still say such things?
Jiang Xin couldn't help but feel annoyed. Why did their family always seem to be associated with some weirdos with warped values? After Yan Ling was gone, He Wan came along.
When Ye Beichen was about to go home in the afternoon, Li Minghao from his dormitory stopped him, "Ye Beichen, it's my birthday today and I'm treating everyone to dinner. Why don't you come too?"
"I'm sorry, I promised my family I'd go home for dinner, so I won't be going. You guys go ahead."
He had suspected last time that someone who knew him had leaked his information, and He Wan had been frantically searching for him all this time. He didn't want to go out to any birthday party and give He Wan an opportunity.
When Li Minghao heard him decline, an unnatural expression immediately appeared on his face. He continued to persuade him, "Everyone in our dorm is going, and you're the only one not going. That's really not fair!"
He Wan had instructed that Ye Beichen must attend. Although she did not explicitly state what she wanted to do, Li Minghao guessed that she was definitely going to do something shady.
He even had a dark thought in his heart: if He Wan succeeded, would Ye Beichen be unable to maintain his image as a refined gentleman?
So he didn't want to give up and started to morally blackmail Ye Beichen.
Ye Beichen was now certain that it was Li Minghao who had tipped off He Wan.
He stared at Li Minghao with a half-smile, without saying a word. This guy was overestimating himself. He was just a casual roommate. Where did he get the confidence to make him give him face?
Provoked by the contempt in his eyes, Li Minghao was about to speak when his classmate nudged him and interrupted, saying, "Of course, going home to have dinner with your family is more important. Besides, you didn't inform him in advance, so how can you ask him to cancel his family gathering? And besides, isn't it enough that we're celebrating with you?"
"That's right, the few of us are enough. Ye Beichen, you don't need to pay attention to him, just leave."
"Okay, I'll be going now. Have fun."
Only after he left the dormitory did the two let go of Li Minghao's arm, still complaining: "Li Minghao, we know you wanted to take this opportunity to flatter Ye Beichen, but that's not how you flatter someone. Didn't you see he's unhappy?"
"Yes, one should be sensible. They have the right to refuse, but what about us?"
It was originally a good thing for us to share a dorm room with them, but one should have self-awareness and not try to be clever and make things worse.
"For the sake of our shared fate, I'll kindly remind you that your methods won't work on him at all."
Who is he, and who are you? What makes you think he'll give you face? People need to have a clear and profound understanding of themselves, so they won't say rude things or do rash things.
"We know you're anxious because you're about to graduate, but who isn't? No matter how anxious you are, you can't lose your composure and make people dislike you. If you piss Ye Beichen off and he moves out of our dorm, we guys won't let you off the hook."
Li Minghao's heart tightened at his roommate's half-joking, half-warning words. Yes, how could he offend him at this time? What if he got angry and used underhanded tactics? How would he ever be able to stand on his own two feet in Beijing?
Then he sadly realized that everyone was aware of the gap between them and Ye Beichen. They thought he was trying to flatter him. If they knew he wanted to harm Ye Beichen, would they be so angry that they would beat him to death?
