"Please stop fighting. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I dragged you into this." Ming Xiaoxiao cried, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Jiang Yifan looked at her indifferently. In the past, if Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened even slightly, he would feel heartache for a long time.
He's such a selfish person, seemingly fond of making friends, but in reality he looks down on everyone, yet he values Ming Xiaoxiao so much.
But during his most painful and agonizing days, Ming Xiaoxiao consistently avoided him.
She went to the advanced class, where the learning atmosphere was intense and the pace was fast, and it seemed that she really had no choice in the matter.
Is she really so busy that she doesn't even have time to send a text message to check on him? Jiang Yifan asked himself honestly. If the situation were reversed, he would never have stood idly by for Ming Xiaoxiao.
He did so much for Ming Xiaoxiao, spending a lot of money, falling out with Qian Shujian and losing all his friends, and now his family is also affected by Ming Xiaoxiao, almost leading to their ruin.
But it wasn't until this moment that he realized Ming Xiaoxiao had never truly considered him a friend.
"Stop crying." Jiang Yifan said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. What was there for Ming Xiaoxiao to cry about? She wasn't the one who was suffering.
Jiang Yifan usually resorts to underhanded tactics when dealing with people; he would never personally take action. This is the first time he has ever fought someone.
Unfortunately, he was no match for Pei Si. The school bully lived up to his name and knocked him down with a single move.
But Jiang Yifan was still very happy. He had unexpectedly punched Pei Si twice at the beginning, and Pei Si's face was bruised, so he didn't look so handsome anymore.
Jiang Yifan turned his head away. "Move aside. This is between him and me."
Ming Xiaoxiao stood in front of Pei Si, shaking her head while crying, "I'm sorry, I wanted to help you. I begged your aunt, but she wouldn't stop. I really couldn't do anything..."
This was the first time she had ever cried so hard; her face was streaked with tears, and it was heartbreaking to see.
She used to be so proud and stubborn, never easily bowing to power and money, daring to question all injustices. Jiang Yifan felt a mix of emotions, and his originally firm heart began to waver again.
Pei Si suddenly looked up: "Are you really begging my mother to stop, or are you deliberately trying to provoke her?"
As a school bully, he had never been afraid of anyone in a fight, so Ming Xiaoxiao's protective manner made him feel offended.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, although Jiang Yifan initiated the fight, it was clear that Jiang Yifan was at a disadvantage, suffering more injuries and looking much worse than him.
He finally saw through Ming Xiaoxiao's subtle favoritism, but he couldn't feel happy about it.
Ming Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised and astonished: "Why would you say that? I really wanted to help, and I even asked you for help!"
“Jiang Yifan is my best friend, and I can’t possibly stand idly by when it comes to his affairs! You know I value my friends very much.”
"You went to beg him?" Jiang Yifan's heart stirred slightly. Ming Xiaoxiao had secretly begged Pei Si? His heart wavered even more.
At the same time, he felt a little guilty. Why didn't he ask Ming Xiaoxiao for clarification? She was clearly so loyal and devoted.
While Ming Xiaoxiao was the catalyst for the Jiang family's misfortune, ultimately it was due to the Pei family's power and bullying.
How could Ming Xiaoxiao, a powerless and helpless young girl, possibly stop the oppression of capital?
Seeing that Jiang Yifan's expression had wavered, Ming Xiaoxiao breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that she had made the right move.
He protected Pei Si in his actions and emphasized in his words that Jiang Yifan was his most important friend, so that he would neither offend Pei Si nor make Jiang Yifan feel sorry for him.
