Cheng Yi bit her lip, secretly glanced at He Ning, and tried to salvage the situation: "I didn't say anything like that."
The girl from No. 1 Middle School continued aggressively, "You do! If you hadn't admitted it yourself, we definitely wouldn't have misunderstood He Shen's younger sister."
That is, He Jing.
Cheng Yi knew that she was in deep trouble today no matter what. From the moment He Ning appeared at the venue, everything was out of control. But if she had to choose between losing face and losing He Ning, she would choose the former.
So she vehemently denied it, and the girls from No. 1 Middle School couldn't produce any evidence despite their words.
When Cheng Yi's close friends saw her in trouble, they quickly chimed in, trying to steer the situation towards a misunderstanding. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, this matter needed to be resolved.
Maya never expected Cheng Yi to be this kind of person. Her idealized image of her was shattered. If Cheng Yi had simply admitted that she had done it and said that she was only thinking about her relationship with He Ning, they would not have held onto it and would have let the matter go. But Cheng Yi turned the tables and blamed them for being nosy.
They were indeed meddling. He Ning didn't want to debut, but they thought she did. He Ning had a younger sister, but they insisted on believing the fake sister.
Everything turned into their unreasonable demands; they simply couldn't argue with Cheng Yi's group of wealthy girlfriends.
Finally, Maya, exhausted, interrupted: "That's enough."
The girls from No. 1 High School felt extremely wronged. They had never experienced being wronged before, and now they knew how painful it was to be wronged.
No wonder He Jing was willing to send them invitations to get revenge; they can't blame He Jing for being humiliated today.
The group slunk away from the venue, not wanting to stay a second longer; all their hopes and dreams had vanished.
Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ma Ya and the others leave. She glanced nervously at He Ning and found that He Ning's face was only cold and disappointed. He looked down listlessly with no expression.
Cheng Yi looked at He Yuan again. He Yuan seemed unwilling to embarrass her, and beckoned to her: "Xiao Yi, come here."
Cheng Yi perked up, put on a sweet smile, and obediently walked over to He Yuan.
He Yuan said, "I hope everyone enjoys themselves. I'll take my sisters to rest first."
He added an extra "们" to give Cheng Yi face.
Then, He Yuan led He Jing and Cheng Yi to the lounge.
The three of them stayed in the lounge in silence for a while, tacitly adjusting their state, before returning to the meeting room.
On the way back, Cheng Yi stopped He Yuan, glanced at He Jing and hesitated, clearly wanting to talk to He Yuan alone.
He Jing smiled and said, "Big brother, I'll go first."
He Yuan nodded, gently replied "Okay," and stayed.
As soon as He Jing entered the hall, Yan Hanxi stopped her. He grabbed her waist, preventing her from leaving, and asked, "Good student, why are you avoiding me?"
He Jing looked surprised: "?"
Where is she avoiding him?
Yan Hanxi stared at her lips, his Adam's apple bobbing: "What do you mean by having Shen Qiuyu call me to the Baili Club, and then sneaking away beforehand?"
He Jing was speechless: "I didn't call."
"You called out."
"I didn't call out."
"OK."
...
Let's assume this is a misunderstanding, but her avoidance of him couldn't possibly be just his imagination.
He asked, "When is our next date?"
"A date?" He Jing raised her eyebrows, her face clearly saying, "Are you crazy?" Then she reminded him, "Yin Gao forbids early relationships."
