Ding Lan's eyes darted around: "Of course..."
Ning Yuan took a sip of water and said calmly, "Think carefully before you answer. If you really sleep with someone else's fiancé, you can forget about your reputation at school. Will any man still want you?"
In this day and age, sleeping with another woman's man while unmarried is called "having an affair"!
Even though it's no longer like a few years ago, where they had to wear tattered straw sandals and a tall hat and be paraded through the streets—
Yes, in the 1960s and 70s, mistresses and their partners could be paraded through the streets together, if the situation was serious.
However, reputation is still highly valued in mainland China.
Ding Lan must have really wanted to find a rich and gullible man to feed during her university years, otherwise why would she have set her sights on Ou Minglang and Rong Zhaonan?
Ding Lan choked again, remembering why she had tried so hard to deny that Su Xueming had any ill intentions towards her in front of everyone.
Isn't it just that she wants both money and fame?
The next moment, Ding Lan reluctantly changed the subject: "...Of course not, I'm not that stupid to actually give myself to that poor bastard Su Xueming."
She went around the school looking for a "good match" to support her studies and life, but she couldn't ruin her "reputation".
Ning Yuan curved her lips into a smile and asked with great interest, "How exactly did you manage to seduce... oh, no, make a cautious, high-IQ scumbag like Su Xueming expose his true colors in such a short time?"
They actually managed to talk about something as profound as having Su Xiaoyu and Ding Lan sleep with him, a threesome between two women.
Ding Lan was silent for a while, her eyes drifting: "I can tell at a glance that he and I are the same kind of people. I know what weaknesses we have, how to approach each other, and what kind of people he likes. I just know that."
Seeing that Ding Lan had no intention of explaining the specifics, Ning Yuan didn't press further.
But she probably knew in her heart that someone like Su Xueming wouldn't be so easily hooked unless Ding Lan gave him some sweetness.
Ning Yuan took a small stack of money from her pocket, counted out nineteen ten-yuan bills, and placed them on the table.
Seeing the large ten-yuan bills, Ding Lan's eyes lit up instantly, and she subconsciously put on a slightly shy expression: "These are for me, how can I accept this..."
But his hand had already uncontrollably reached for the stack of money.
Ning Yuan raised her hand and pressed down on the back of her hand, smiling slightly: "This is 190 yuan. 90 yuan is your previous wages, and the remaining 100 yuan is for you to move out of the dormitory and keep your mouth shut."
Ding Lan was taken aback: "You want me to move out?"
Ning Yuan said calmly, "Since you two live in the same dormitory, this dormitory is no longer acceptable. I don't want to come back every day to see you fighting."
Ding Lan retorted, "Then why wasn't it her who left? Why was it me who left!"
Ning Yuan looked at her with her big, smiling eyes and said, "What kind of relationship do I have with you, and what kind of relationship do I have with her? What do you think?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "I know your abilities; the other dormitories at school should be quite welcoming to you."
At least until the people in those dormitories discovered Ding Lan's true colors as someone who loved "wool-pulling" (taking advantage of loopholes in online shopping), they should still welcome her.
Ding Lan bit her lip, feeling extremely annoyed.
She's moving away, so how can she continue to take advantage of the three of them? These three are already the best off in the class, and probably even the best off in the department.
Ning Yuan used to come from an ordinary family, but now that she owns such a large store, she must be very wealthy.
Her eyes darted around, and she mimicked Ning Yuan's smile, saying, "Ning Yuan, although I'm reluctant to part with you all, you know I'm always soft-hearted. Since you brought it up, I'll definitely help you, but..."
Ning Yuan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Ding Lan's expression: "But what?"
This guy looks like he's up to no good.
Ding Lan sighed: "But I tend to talk in my sleep at night. If I go to another dormitory and someone finds out, what will happen if Chu Hongyu finds out that you were the one who instructed me to get close to Su Xueming?"
She paused, then said with a look of regret, "Chu Hongyu will definitely hate you to the core, won't she?"
Ning Yuan looked at her but didn't say anything, just stared straight at her.
Ding Lan felt inexplicably uneasy under her gaze, and she shrank back: "You..."
"Are you threatening me?" Ning Yuan suddenly laughed, walked to Ding Lan's seat and stood there, looking down at Ding Lan sitting on the stool.
For some reason, Ding Lan had a strange and frightening feeling in her heart, and she even regretted saying what she had just said.
But then she thought, it must be her imagination. What could an ordinary student like herself possibly do?
Ding Lan said softly, "Oh, Ning Yuan, you've really misunderstood. I'm not threatening you, I'm just thinking of you. Actually, I didn't mean anything by it."
She sighed, "You know I'm poor. If you were willing to give me thirty yuan a month for living expenses, I would be very grateful. I definitely wouldn't talk in my sleep at night anymore, and I wouldn't mind moving away..."
Ning Yuan suddenly raised her hand and grabbed her neck, preventing her from speaking fluently.
Ding Lan felt pain from Ning Yuan's pinch and tried to push her arm away: "Ugh...you...what are you doing!"
Despite being just as petite as her, Ning Yuan had a surprisingly strong grip, grabbing her neck and slamming her against the wall.
Ning Yuan stared at her: "Threatening me? You dare to? Aren't you supposed to be a know-it-all? You should go ask around the back gate area of the school and see what happened to those people who caused trouble for my shop."
Ding Lan paused in her struggle. She remembered that she had heard that the big thugs who had caused trouble for Ning Yuan had all gone to jail.
Ning Yuan gave a smile that was both gentle and eerie: "Of course, that's nothing, but you can ask around. A few days ago, there were more than thirty people covered in blood at the entrance of my warehouse. Why did they end up in the hospital after playing with knives?"
Ding Lan froze completely; she knew there was a strange rumor circulating about the back door recently—
More than thirty people encountered a ghost in an alley and "committed suicide"...
The next day, the cleaners went to clean the alley, but they couldn't get it clean. Bloodstains can still be faintly seen on the walls.
She stared wide-eyed at Ning Yuan, trying to see through her bluff.
But all one could see were Ning Yuan's deep, dark eyes, like a deep, ancient well that could swallow a person whole, sending chills down one's spine.
Ning Yuan released her grip on her neck and said slowly—
"If Sister Hongyu ever hears something she shouldn't, you might end up in the hospital for playing with knives!"
Then, she smiled and casually placed the money in Ding Lan's hand: "By the way, this isn't a threat, just a little prophecy for you."
After saying that, Ning Yuan turned and left the room.
She secretly shook her head. If she hung out with Uncle Jiu and Uncle Fang for too long, she would turn into a Shanghai female hooligan too!
If you don't keep Ding Lan in check, she'll take advantage of you and keep extorting and threatening you.
Ding Lan watched her leave, feeling cold all over, her mind blank.
After a long while, she finally stood up, her face pale.
Who exactly is Ning Yuan?
She needs to find out what happened with the bloodstains at the back gate of the school and the people who went to the hospital!
Ding Lan looked at Chu Hongyu's seat, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. Why was Chu Hongyu so lucky? Even her friends would go to great lengths for her.
She doesn't have that kind of friend.
...
Ning Yuan left the dormitory and went directly to find Chu Hongyu and Yan Yangyang.
After searching for a long time, she finally found Chu Hongyu lying on Yan Yangyang's lap on the playground.
