After returning to China, He Jingjing went to the military academy to look for Wen Ziqing more than once. Unfortunately, Wen Ziqing ignored her and never gave He Jingjing a good look.
He Jingjing always remembered Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan's engagement. God knows, she was almost jealous. The man she loved, Wen Ziqing, was on the road to success. In his previous life, Wen Ziqing served in the army and rose to the rank of major general in his forties. In this life, Wen Ziqing's choice to attend military school meant he would continue to succeed. It was a pity that such a good Wen Ziqing was not hers.
He Jingjing had mentioned to He Shumin her desire to marry into the Wen family. Unfortunately, He Shumin wasn't very optimistic about the Wen family. The head of the Wen family, Wen Jingtao, had passed away three years earlier, leaving behind few promising children and grandchildren. Only one, Wen Yiran, from a branch of the family, currently served as Minister of Energy. However, He Shumin believed that Wen Yiran's achievements were limited; he would retire in two years, and none of his sons were capable of carrying the family's weight. Therefore, He Shumin didn't consider the Wen family a suitable marriage partner.
He Shumin's heart was in the Zhou family. General Zhou's adopted grandson, Zhou Zhixin, was already a major general before he was even forty. It was rumored that Zhou Zhixin's son was a prodigy, about the same age as He Jingjing. He Shumin was looking for an opportunity to talk to General Zhou and arrange a marriage between He Jingjing and Zhou Jiasheng.
He Jingjing didn't know what He Shumin was planning, but even if she did, she probably wouldn't want to. To He Jingjing, Wen Ziqing had become the beloved lover she had been longing for in two lifetimes.
Besides, He Jingjing didn't know Zhou Yuanyuan's true identity. If she knew that Zhou Yuanyuan was the General Zhou family member that He Shumin mentioned they needed to win over, He Jingjing wouldn't dare to show off in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
"He Jingjing, don't bite people recklessly. Everyone saw what happened just now. You were the one who provoked her first." Ren Zhongyuan, noticing the aggression in He Jingjing's words, couldn't help but get anxious. A fickle woman? Any girl would be filled with shame and anger if such a nasty thing were thrown at her.
Zhou Yuanyuan, who Ren Zhongyuan had predicted would be filled with shame and anger, showed no emotion. She simply glanced at He Jingjing with disdain, completely ignoring her provocation. Zhou Yuanyuan knew He Jingjing's mindset was a bit peculiar: the more you argued with her, the more excited she became. The best thing to do was to ignore her. She jumped around on her own for a while, but then quieted down.
Ren Zhongyuan was not familiar with He Jingjing and did not know her personality, which is why he responded to her slander. However, in the face of He Jingjing's provocation, Ren Zhongyuan did not dodge but chose to stand in front of Zhou Yuanyuan, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Yuanyuan recognized Ren Zhongyuan as her good friend.
Today is the first day of school. There are people coming and going at the school gate. Some students stopped for a while because there was so much excitement to watch.
Seeing Ren Zhongyuan's pleading eyes, the crowd dispersed with a clamor. He Jingjing's name still carried considerable weight at Chaoyang Middle School. A female student had once offended He Jingjing, and her family had expelled her from school. Asking them to testify against He Jingjing as a bully? No kidding, they couldn't afford to offend anyone.
"See! No one agrees with you." He Jingjing glanced at Ren Zhongyuan with a smug look. She knew that no one at Chaoyang Middle School dared to oppose her face to face.
"Ren Zhongyuan, let's go." Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at He Jingjing and tugged at the corner of Ren Zhongyuan's clothes, signaling him not to pay attention to He Jingjing.
Zhou Yuanyuan heard that the He family members were very protective of their children, especially He Jingjing, who was the darling of the He family's old grandfather, He Shumin. She was not afraid of He Jingjing because she had strong financial support and a great-grandfather who was also protective of her.
Ren Zhongyuan is different. Ren Dahai has no background, and Chen Qiuyu is just an ordinary elementary school teacher and cannot afford the revenge of the He family.
"Leave? Did you ask me if you want to leave?" He Jingjing was getting excited now. She took a few steps forward, blocking Zhou Yuanyuan and Ren Zhongyuan's way, and pointed at Ren Zhongyuan's nose and said, "Boy, if you want to be a flower protector, please take a piss and look at yourself. You're going against me, He Jingjing. Do you want to die?"
Zhou Yuanyuan's face turned cold, and she unconsciously released all her aura. As a cultivator, although she didn't want to cause trouble, her pride wouldn't allow her to be scolded by a mortal.
Once Zhou Yuanyuan released her aura, it was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, pointing directly at He Jingjing.
He Jingjing's face turned pale with fright at Zhou Yuanyuan's murderous aura, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, making way for Zhou Yuanyuan and Ren Zhongyuan to enter the school.
After Zhou Yuanyuan released her arrogance, she immediately remembered that this was the school gate and it was not appropriate for her to teach He Jingjing a lesson here, so she quickly restrained herself.
At this moment, the voice of "system" rang in He Jingjing's mind: "Warning! Warning! Woman, you can't afford to offend this girl, get out of here quickly."
He Jingjing's face paled even more. This was the first time she'd encountered such a situation since getting the "system." Unable to provoke? Was this Zhou Yuanyuan that powerful?
"Leave quickly, leave quickly, or you will suffer the consequences!" In He Jingjing's mind, the voice of the "system" has become a little sharp. He Jingjing shuddered when she thought of the electric shock that would appear every time the "system" said the words "you will suffer the consequences".
The thing Ho Jingjing disliked most about the "system" after acquiring it was its constant punishments. She simply didn't want to experience the electric shock of tears and tears. So, whenever the "system" said, "You'll bear the consequences," Ho Jingjing would become obedient.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Ren Zhongyuan looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw He Jingjing's expression suddenly change and then she ran away.
They thought He Jingjing would make a big scene today, but they didn't expect her to retreat so quickly, which really left them baffled.
"Master, I have something important to report. Should I tell you now or when I get back?" Xiaoyu's voice rang out in Zhou Yuanyuan's consciousness.
Over the years, as Zhou Yuanyuan's cultivation level increased, Xiaoyu's strength also increased greatly. Just now, Xiaoyu felt a slight fluctuation in He Jingjing, which surprised her.
"Ren Zhongyuan, I'm going back to the classroom. Goodbye." Seeing Xiaoyu come to her to report something, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly waved goodbye to Ren Zhongyuan. Zhou Yuanyuan knew Xiaoyu's character, and ordinary trivial matters would not interrupt her interactions with others.
"Goodbye." Ren Zhongyuan waved his hand and stood there watching Zhou Yuanyuan leave. The girl's back was slender and straight. Ren Zhongyuan felt a little sad as he watched Zhou Yuanyuan gradually go away. Such an outstanding girl was destined to be someone he would look up to all his life. Although he had secretly liked Zhou Yuanyuan for a long time, he had never dared to confess his feelings to her.
