Chapter 36 May Each Be Well
Following her mother's instructions, Shi Jin finished her meal and escorted Bai Zhenzhu back to her dormitory.
"Shi Jin, don't be angry. You've had a cold face the whole way. I don't like it when you're like this."
Shi Jin turned his head, exuding a cold and sinister aura, and said in a very unpleasant tone, "Do I need you to like it?"
Bai Zhenzhu huffed angrily, pouting her pink lips, and punched Shi Jin's chest with her little fist. "Shi Jin, I hate you! I'll never like you again! I have plenty of boys who like me. I can just snap my fingers and they'll all bow down to me. I don't want to fawn over you!"
When Jin heard Bai Zhenzhu say that she would never like him again, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a little flustered.
He grabbed Bai Zhenzhu's wildly flailing wrist and said through gritted teeth, "That's wonderful! I can't wait for you to disappear from my world!"
He didn't know how he said those words, he only knew that he felt comfortable after saying them.
However, the consequence of his momentary act of arrogance was that Bai Zhenzhu really stopped paying attention to him.
Bai Zhenzhu wiped away her tears and solemnly said, word by word, "Shi Jin, from today onwards, I will disappear from your world and will no longer disturb your love affair with your white moonlight. Saying that we should cut ties completely is a bit of an overstatement. Let's just go our separate ways."
After saying that, Bai Zhenzhu got out of the car without looking back.
Shi Jin looked out the car window at her resolute and calm back, and fell into deep thought for a moment...
Li Qianni, who happened to be hanging clothes on the balcony, saw Bai Zhenzhu get out of Shi Jin's car and immediately flew into a rage.
I took the clothesline and went to the next dormitory room, where I waited at the door.
Bai Zhenzhu hummed a little tune, lazily and casually swinging the dormitory key in her hand.
The grievances and forbearance she had shown in the car were long gone from her face; instead, she seemed even happier.
Seeing her like this, Li Qianni could easily imagine what had just happened between the two of them in the car.
Bai Zhenzhu looked at her with amusement and deliberately mocked, "What? Didn't you have a happy birthday?"
It would have been better if the birthday hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as it was brought up, Li Qianni was reminded of how Shi Jin had abandoned her to go find Bai Zhenzhu.
He grabbed the clothesline pole and was about to hit her.
"Li Qianni, do you believe that if you throw this ball, you'll be on the front page tomorrow, and your dream of being the young mistress of the Shi family will be shattered!"
Li Qianni followed Bai Zhenzhu's gaze to the surveillance camera above her head, and immediately withdrew her hand in fear.
Trembling with rage, she said, "Bai Zhenzhu! Don't think you can keep deceiving Shi Jin. I will definitely tell him about all the despicable things you did before, and let Shi Jin know how shameless and despicable you are!"
"Okay, go ahead and tell Shi Jin, and while you're at it, tell him how many boyfriends you've had and how many men you've slept with!"
"White pearl!"
Bai Zhenzhu rubbed her ears, which had almost gone deaf from being yelled at, and said impatiently, "Stop shouting here. The students need to rest. You have no manners."
Then he gave Li Qianni a disdainful look and bumped into her hard as he passed by.
Then, naturally, he opened the door with the key and slammed it shut.
Li Qianni covered her head, stomped her feet, and screamed wildly, "Ah!"
Bai Zhenzhu entered the dormitory, chuckled, and then went to take a shower.
...
Shi Jin had just returned home and taken off his coat.
Then my mother called.
Shi Jin answered the call reluctantly.
"Hey, Xiao Jin, have you taken Pearl back to school yet?"
"Hmm," Shi Jin replied indifferently, showing no interest whatsoever.
"Xiao Jin, aren't pearls beautiful? What do you think of pearls?"
"Mom, can you please stop talking about pearls? I'll say it again, I don't like white pearls. The person I like is Li Qianni, and I will never change my mind. Just give up on that idea!"
Shi Jin was angry; he was about to be driven crazy by his mother and Bai Zhenzhu.
"Xiao Jin, don't say anything too soon. You're only 21 years old, and your life has just begun. There are so many unpredictable things in the future. How do you know you won't change your mind? Maybe you've already developed feelings for Pearl, but your pride won't allow you to change your mind."
"Mom, what kind of mother hopes her son will change his mind? Don't you want your son to be a devoted and loyal man?"
"Of course, Mom hopes you'll be faithful, but only if the girl you're faithful to is someone worthy of it."
"Okay, Mom, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore. I can't change my mind. That's all for now, bye."
Shi's mother wanted to say a few more words, but her son hung up on her. Helpless, she lay in her husband's arms, feeling very upset.
"Honey, how could our son have such poor taste? There are so many kind and lovely girls, how could he fall for that 'white lotus' Li Qianni? If Li Qianni really becomes my daughter-in-law, I might as well not come home at all!"
Mr. Shi patted Mrs. Shi's hand to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, even if your son is temporarily blinded, he will eventually see the truth in his heart. Don't worry about it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
"How can I not worry? Anyway, I just feel that Pearl is exactly what I want, and I must make Pearl my daughter-in-law!"
