He Jing was taken aback, then, like a cat caught red-handed secretly biting the sofa, she said without any guilt, "Ah, my second brother found out."
He Ning: "..."
Where does she get the confidence to be so self-righteous?
In fact, He Ning only realized it on his way home. He had lived with Cheng Yi for so many years and rarely saw her cry so hard. She must have been wronged to the extreme.
He originally planned to confront He Jing as soon as he got back, but he was distracted by He Jing's allergic reaction on her arm. His anger subsided, and he couldn't pretend anymore.
He felt that He Jing might have been sent by heaven to bring him bad luck. Ever since she came to the He family, there had been constant troubles, none of which made him feel good.
However, the source of the trouble was this drama queen who had fooled everyone so well, and she even put her face right in front of him: "Are you angry?"
He Ning said coldly, "Why did you do this?"
He Jing replied, "If I didn't do this, you would all start cursing me without even knowing the facts. I was just using legitimate means to defend myself."
He Ning stopped.
"How does it feel to be wronged?" He Jing asked casually. "Seeing your precious Xiaoyi crying, doesn't it break your heart?"
He Ning's face was frighteningly pale, but surprisingly he didn't get angry. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "I can assure you that if something similar happens again, we will investigate it thoroughly. Don't do this again."
“Okay,” He Jing said. “If she doesn’t bother me, I definitely won’t bother her.”
That's true.
If the real heiress didn't provoke her, she'd rather stay as far away as possible. Who would complain about having too long a life? She wanted to avoid becoming cannon fodder...
The next morning, He Jing went to school and found that Cheng Yi was not there and had asked for sick leave.
Liu Sisi was in the classroom, while Zhang Man was called to the dean of students' office. After a while, Zhang Man returned crying.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her loud, piercing cries immediately drew everyone's attention.
Liu Sisi quickly handed her a tissue: "Manman, what's wrong?"
Zhang Man sobbed in despair, "I've been expelled from school."
Just then, Yan Hanxi walked in from outside the classroom. He had one hand in his pocket, his dark hair was unkempt with a single strand sticking up, and he looked tired.
He completely ignored the commotion in the classroom, and said with a smirk, "Good morning, model student."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the classroom became very subtle.
Although Gin-gao is strict, he doesn't actually fire people easily...
Of course, Zhang Man wasn't innocent either; she deserved to be fired.
However, after the forum was shut down, they found it hard to stop their wild imaginations...
For some reason, Zhang Man suddenly rushed to He Jing and grabbed her sleeve: "He Jing, it was my fault. I shouldn't have targeted you. Please, please plead with Brother Xi for me. I don't want to be expelled from school. My dad will beat me..."
He Jing frowned slightly: "Let go."
Zhang Man shook her head frantically.
He Jing was speechless: "What makes you think that Yan Hanxi can get the school to cancel your punishment, and what makes you think that Yan Hanxi will listen to me?"
"Brother Xi is the only son of the school's largest shareholder, so of course he can get the school to cancel the punishment. As for why Brother Xi listens to you, doesn't he like you...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole class fell into a deathly silence.
Zhang Man looked up from her shock and panic, glanced at the indifferent and sympathetic eyes around her, then at He Jing, and finally realized what she had said wrong. She began to desperately try to make amends: "No, what I mean is I know I was wrong, please give me another chance..."
