Chapter 8 Double Standards
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Shen Yixue with a half-smile, "Or, you like Li Jingming, so you care so much!"
From the original owner's memory, she could tell that Shen Yixue was not a good person.
Shen Yixue was specially recruited because of her good grades. Although she was a special recruit, she had a very good reputation in the academy because of her innocent appearance, good grades, and good speaking skills.
However, Shen Yixue is not as innocent and kind as she seems. While she is keeping those people in suspense, she is also looking for her other half.
"Nian Yao, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Yixue's cheeks flushed, "Jingming and I are just good friends. Don't think about things so dirty."
Her goal in entering Tamron College was very clear, which was to marry into a wealthy family.
However, she was also very self-aware. Those top-tier, wealthy young men would definitely not look down on her. They might be able to play with her, but marrying her was impossible.
Li Jingming was just right for her. The Li family was a wealthy family in the imperial capital, but Li Jingming was not a legitimate young master of the Li family, but an illegitimate child. With such status, as long as she worked hard, she would always be able to marry into a higher position.
Zhong Nianyao nodded. "You said that saying I like Li Jingming in public like this was kind. Now, if I say you like Li Jingming, that's a dirty thing to do."
“Shen Yixue, I find that you are really a double standard!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else's expressions suddenly became a little strange.
Shen Yixue’s face turned red with anger, and she couldn’t say a word of rebuttal. She could only look at Zhong Nianyao with angry eyes.
"Enough, Zhong Nianyao, shut up." Li Jingming stepped forward and blocked Shen Yixue's way, staring at Zhong Nianyao angrily, "She——"
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Nianyao interrupted him.
Zhong Nianyao nodded seriously, "I don't care what she is like, it's just——"
Zhong Nianyao suddenly broke into a brilliant smile, "Li Jingming, please get out of here."
Just as Zhong Nianyao smiled brilliantly, the people following Li Jingming couldn't help but stare in amazement.
Zhong Nianyao's stunning beauty was suddenly revealed, and her smile contained a calm and confident air. She seemed to have suddenly come alive, looking like the sun in the sky, warm and dazzling.
Even Li Jingming, who always disliked Zhong Nian Yao, couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this moment.
Shen Yixue, who was standing by, also noticed something was wrong with Li Jingming. She felt a little panicked and called out softly.
Li Jingming seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
"Zhong Nianyao, you'd better keep your word. Don't bother me again in the future, or don't blame me for being rude."
"Haha, then you can rest assured," Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming with a half-smile, "I really don't like your frail little body."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Jingming's face, and he just walked away in anger.
After Shen Yixue looked at Zhong Nianyao deeply, she also followed Li Jingming's footsteps.
As for the others, they just looked at each other, and no one said anything.
Everyone looked away and prepared to leave.
Zhong Nian Yao didn't have much interest in this group of gathered young men, but when her eyes inadvertently swept over one of them, her eyes suddenly lit up.
