"Thanks."
Sun Chunjuan spoke softly, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped away her tears.
Jiang Sheng sat beside her without saying a word, patiently waiting for Sun Chunjuan to calm down.
After about two minutes, Sun Chunjuan finally calmed down and sat there with a bitter smile on her face.
She seemed to have made some major decision, and after slowly exhaling, she finally spoke.
"Jiang Sheng, to be honest, I am not really a student of Yenching University."
After she said those words, she was already mentally prepared for Jiang Sheng to question her after being deceived.
But after waiting for a while, she still hadn't been questioned, so she subconsciously looked at Jiang Sheng.
But he saw Jiang Sheng sitting there calmly, looking at him with a confused expression, and just smiling faintly.
"Actually, I already knew about this a long time ago."
Jiang Sheng's words, once spoken, caused Sun Chunjuan to widen her eyes in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
"You mean you already knew about this?"
Jiang Sheng nodded: "That's right. I already knew about it some time ago. The reason I didn't say anything but kept thinking about you must be because I had some difficulties. So I'm waiting for you. If you're willing to tell me when the time comes, I'll listen to the reason."
I thought I would be blamed, or that the two of us would never have any contact again.
Sun Chunjuan was already filled with guilt, and when she heard Jiang Sheng's words, her eyes reddened again. She choked up for a moment before finally managing to utter a complete sentence.
"I...I didn't expect you already knew about this. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Sheng comforted her, saying, "Everyone has their own unavoidable difficulties, and I believe you must have your own unavoidable difficulties as well. So, if you are willing to talk about it, I will listen from the side. If you are not willing to talk about it, then I will pretend that I did not hear what you said today."
Jiang Sheng knew that, when facing such a seemingly fragile girl, only sincerity was the surest way to win.
The more sincere you are to her, the more she will trust you, and the more she will feel that what she did before was wrong.
Especially girls like Sun Chunjuan, who clearly seem to lack love.
Of course, Jiang Sheng did this not to deceive Sun Chunjuan, because he could also see that Sun Chunjuan was not a bad person at heart.
If this opportunity can be used to get Sun Chunjuan to confess everything, perhaps she will still have a chance to reform herself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng glanced at Sun Chunjuan, who was already sobbing uncontrollably beside him, and gently patted her back.
"I've already considered you a friend. Even if you confess everything to me, I won't look down on you. Don't worry, we can still be friends in the future."
Jiang Sheng's words immediately extinguished any hope or possibility that Sun Chunjuan might have of confessing her feelings to him.
Sun Chunjuan could only swallow back the words "I like you" that were stuck in her throat.
With a bitter smile, she wiped away her tears again with a handkerchief.
"It's good to be friends."
Sun Chunjuan shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, the main reason I got close to you was because of my sister."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng's face showed a mixture of surprise and confusion.
"Your sister...?"
Seeing Jiang Sheng's puzzled look, Sun Chunjuan curled her lips, her face full of sarcasm.
“My sister is Sun Chunli, and she has a very good relationship with Zhou Changgui.”
As soon as he said that, Jiang Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.
"So you're Teacher Sun's sister? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Why did you hide your identity?"
Jiang Sheng pretended to know nothing and guided Sun Chunjuan step by step to continue the story.
Sun Chunjuan also twitched the corners of her mouth and slowly recounted the whole story to Jiang Sheng.
At the end, Sun Chunjuan gave a sarcastic summary.
"So, the student ID is fake, my identity is fake, and everything I've done for you from the time I met you until now has been fake."
"If you think I'm too scheming, then let's not see each other again. I also apologize for everything I've done to you during this time. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, Sun Chunjuan stood up, returned the handkerchief to Jiang Sheng, and spoke with a wry smile.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Let's not see each other again, because I feel like I'm not good enough to be your friend."
After saying this, Sun Chunjuan turned to leave.
"Wait a moment."
It took Jiang Sheng quite a while to recover from the shock of learning all this from Sun Chunjuan.
Although he had already guessed Sun Chunjuan's intentions, he was still quite surprised to hear the whole thing from her.
While feeling surprised, I couldn't help but curse Zhou Changgui and Sun Chunli, that despicable couple, in my heart.
These two people are absolutely wicked. They would even use their own sister to destroy their family. It's disgusting!
"Jiang Sheng, is there anything else?"
Sun Chunjuan didn't turn around; she just stood there with her back to Jiang Sheng, her face full of reluctance.
"I just feel that all of this is something you had no choice but to do. Since you've told me all of this, it means you're not a bad person at heart. I'm willing to be your friend. If you're just going to leave like this, do you really want to continue living a numb life under your sister's control?"
That last sentence seemed to completely illuminate Sun Chunjuan's heart.
She was stunned by Jiang Sheng's words and instinctively turned around.
Looking at Jiang Sheng, who was smiling, Sun Chunjuan seemed to have made a difficult decision, and then shook her head very firmly.
"I don't want to! Of course I don't want to live that kind of life anymore! I want to break free from my sister's control!"
Upon hearing Sun Chunjuan's words, Jiang Sheng smiled with satisfaction.
His persuasion of Sun Chunjuan earlier was worthwhile. As long as Sun Chunjuan can repent and make a good living, she can still have a good life in the future.
"In that case, I'll help you."
Jiang Sheng's words gave Sun Chunjuan a renewed sense of hope.
But then, as if she had thought of something, she gave a helpless, bitter laugh.
"Someone like me, who has neither a degree nor any skills, how can you possibly help me? You're just a college graduate yourself, what help can you possibly give me?"
