He Jing had no intention of abusing the Qin family's influence. She knew that one should not take advantage of kindness or be greedy, constantly trying to take advantage of others, otherwise she would soon lose that person.
The next day, after finishing her lunch break, He Jing returned to the classroom early as usual to bury herself in doing practice problems. However, a classmate said, "He Jing, someone is looking for you outside the school."
He Jing raised her eyes in confusion. She frowned slightly without making a sound, and walked out of the school under the blazing sun. There she saw Meng Yao, who had misunderstood her at the dance and thought she had seduced an online scammer, standing awkwardly at the school gate, pacing back and forth, looking very embarrassed.
He Jing thought that perhaps it was because of the ten thousand yuan. For a family like the Meng family, which was not wealthy, such a large sum of money would indeed be difficult to accept. She pondered for a moment and stepped forward: "Classmate Meng Yao."
Meng Yao turned around, instinctively stood at attention at a moment's rest, and then awkwardly bit her lip.
She was actually a little embarrassed to approach He Jing, after all, she had made such a big scene last time, almost embarrassing He Jing in public.
He Jing asked gently, "Did you report it to the police after you went back last time? Did the police catch the criminal who committed fraud under the guise of romance?"
Meng Yao whispered, "We caught them..."
She paused for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, no, I didn't come here to ask you for money, don't misunderstand, I came for something else..."
"oh?"
“It’s my brother.” Meng Yao lowered her head and stammered, “My brother is about to take the college entrance exam, but his grades have plummeted because of this incident. Even after he found out that the liar wasn’t you, he didn’t cheer up. His teacher talked to him and said that he had dropped from third to fortieth in the whole school, and that he probably wouldn’t be able to get into a top university. He suggested that he retake the exam.”
“My parents also felt that we should take the teacher’s advice, but my brother is a very proud person. He was unwilling to do so. Every day after school, he would lock himself in his room, refuse to communicate, and even start looking for a job.”
“He only finished high school, why is he looking for a job? He clearly has a much brighter future, so I think…”
He Jing picked up where she left off: "Should I go and try to persuade him?"
Tears streamed down Meng Yao's face. She took a step back and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle: "He Jing, please, for the sake of my brother's genuine affection for you, help him!"
He Jing looked at her calmly. After thinking for a while, she shook her head: "I won't get involved."
Meng Yao froze instantly. She looked up at He Jing, her face full of urgency, her voice anxious: "Why, He Jing? Is it because of what happened at the dance last time? I can apologize to you, I'll write you a self-criticism, and I'll give you the ten thousand yuan after I get it back. Please, please, you must help my brother."
He Jing looked him straight in the eye and said, word by word, "I will not help a piece of trash."
Meng Yao's face turned deathly pale.
If even He Jing refuses to help her, then her brother is truly beyond saving.
He Jing added, "Please tell him for me that if he really likes me, he shouldn't use liking me as an excuse to become depraved. It would make me very upset because I feel it's an insult to me. There are many people who like me, and they are all excellent. They may not have outstanding academic achievements, but they never avoid problems and strive to live positively. Even if I don't like them, I never look down on them."
"I won't get involved in this matter. I hope that when he meets a girl he likes even more in the future, he can shine brightly and not have to look up to her anymore. He can stand proudly and happily by her side."
P.S.: The same applies to girls, let's encourage each other. This is the only update today, but I'll update earlier and more frequently tomorrow. Have a great weekend, my little cuties!
