Chapter 43: Choice
These words made Shen Yixue's face turn pale and blue. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Especially the bag she was holding in her hand seemed to be mocking her insincerity.
If possible, she really wanted to have the nerve to throw the bag in her hand in front of Zhong Nian Yao, then turn around and leave.
However, after spending so much time at Tenglong Academy, she was no longer the self-righteous Shen Yixue she once was. Spending so much time in such a glamorous place had also led to her vanity growing. Especially when she saw people around her buying luxury goods as easily as daily necessities, she could no longer ignore the gap.
Therefore, when Zhong Nianyao gave her various expensive gifts, she never refused. She felt that she and Zhong Nianyao were just exchanging equal value.
Zhong Nianyao also gave Li Jingming so many gifts because she wanted to please him. She often mentioned Zhong Nianyao in front of Li Jingming, so she felt that she had not received those gifts from Zhong Nianyao in vain.
However, she couldn't control what Li Jingming was thinking.
Now that Zhong Nianyao said it so bluntly, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"Why are you silent?" Zhong Nianyao took a step forward, moved closer to Shen Yixue, and continued, "Isn't our college's goddess Shen the most self-righteous? How could she covet such a small favor from me! So, when do you plan to return the things to me? Of course, a discount is also acceptable."
After receiving those memories, she was very disdainful of Shen Yixue's behavior of saying one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Thinking back to the time when the original owner had given Shen Yixue so many valuable gifts in order to please Li Jingming, she really felt sorry for the original owner.
She spent so much money that even if it fell into the water, it would make a sound. If she had spent it on a dog, the dog would have wagged its tail at her. But if she had spent it on Shen Yixue, not only would it have been wasted, but she also didn't know how she was laughing at her stupidity behind her back!
"Nian Yao, we are good friends." The smile on Shen Yixue's face became extremely forced. "Do you really want to continue to hold on to the past? Besides, these were all gifts you gave me. If you take them back now, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out!"
"Reputation?" Zhong Nianyao sneered. "How good is my reputation? If that's the case, then why should I care about it? What's the matter? You can't bear to return it, so you're holding on to me here!"
"I don't,"
As if she had suffered a great injustice, Shen Yixue's face was full of grievance, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be about to fall at any time, "Nian Yao, I thought that we have always been good friends. I didn't expect that in your heart, you didn't take me seriously at all."
"I'm glad you understand." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "So, the items are still discounted. You can choose one!"
At this point, Shen Yixue could see that Zhong Nianyao was really making a fuss this time. For a moment, she was a little panicked and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a voice sounded, directly interrupting the conversation between Zhong Nianyao and Shen Yixue.
"Zhong Nianyao, don't bully Xue'er."
As they were talking, a figure arrived and directly inserted himself between Zhong Nianyao and Shen Dian. The person who came was someone else, Li Jingming.
He came to the side of Zhong Nianyao and Shen Yixue, and then directly protected Shen Yixue behind him. When he looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes were a little more unfriendly, “I tell you, if you dare to bully Xueer, I will not let you go.”
Zhong Nianyao laughed out loud as if she had seen a joke, and only spoke again after she slowly stopped laughing.
"Li Jingming, if you don't understand the situation clearly, you'd better not speak carelessly, lest you expose your ignorance. Also, this is a matter between Shen Yixue and me, what does it have to do with you?"
"you--"
This retort made Li Jingming's face turn particularly ugly. Especially since the person who was speaking rudely to him was none other than Zhong Nianyao, who had always been following him around.
"Chen Yixue, what's your choice?" Zhong Nianyao didn't continue to pay attention to Li Jingming, but turned her spearhead to Chen Yixue, "Or do you want to occupy my things forever?"
"When did I ever take your things? You gave them to me voluntarily."
Probably because Zhong Nianyao's tone was too aggressive, Shen Yixue also felt a little annoyed, "Now I am the one who has taken over? Also, you and I both know why you gave me gifts before."
"So!" Zhong Nianyao said mercilessly, "You can just enjoy the things I gave you so comfortably and then act sarcastic in front of me?"
