Chapter 241 The So-called Friend
The next day, with the help of Ruby, Tilan met Hu Na.
She looked mixed-race, with dark hair, but deep eye sockets, and red highlights on the inside of her hair, giving her a rebellious vibe. Her slightly narrow eyeshadow outlined the corners of her eyes upward, making her look aggressive and impactful.
"Are you Tilan? I've heard of you, the girl who often hangs out with Dolores." She folded her arms and looked at the black-haired girl with a slightly provocative look.
The three of them were currently in a rose garden on campus, where roses of various colors were planted, with black and blue being the most common.
"You want to talk to me about something? I don't think it's a good thing." She frowned slightly. Although the girl in front of her looked non-aggressive, she didn't like her because she was not the same kind of person as herself in terms of temperament.
Some people are like this. Her radiance will sting those who stand in the darkness and shadows. Perhaps it is envy, jealousy, or disgust. Such emotions will naturally rise from the heart, because the existence of the other party will highlight her own failure and snatch the sight and attention that belong to her.
She doesn't like people like Tilan, such a good and honest person, but in the secular evaluation, she also knows that such girls will be more popular, so she is more disgusted and disgusted.
"Well, although this is the first time we meet, I don't think there is any hatred between us." The girl said.
"There was no hatred before, but there should be now. My intuition is very accurate." Hu Na turned her face away.
It seems that persuading with good words is just a luxury, the girl thought.
"Actually, this time I came here to persuade Hu Na to withdraw from the Indigo Cornflower Club she is now in." Tilan simply didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of this time.
"Oh, very bold, do you want to irritate me?" Hu Na frowned, and Ruby on the side looked at the two of them and didn't speak. She believed that Tilan had a way to persuade Hu Na.
"No, I just want to say that staying in this club is not a good choice now."
"You don't need to ask about my business."
"The academy will not interfere with students' freedom of activities in school, but now the activities of Indigo Cornflower have obviously affected the reputation of the academy and the future of other students. This is not just your business."
"Everyone must be responsible for their own words and deeds. Because of the protection of the academy, we can ignore the pressure from the outside world, but many students will graduate in the future and will face all kinds of things in society. If the academy has a bad reputation, they will be very sad." The girl considered her words, but she felt that the chances were slim.
"I don't care about their future. If they work hard enough and get into a prestigious university, who cares where you go to high school?" Hu Na obviously didn't buy it.
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing her gradually leave, Tilan didn't stop her, which surprised Ruby.
"Aren't you going to stop her?"
"No, just let her go." The girl sighed. She didn't expect that today's negotiation would fail so badly. The other party had been very hostile and resistant to her from the beginning, which made her swallow back some of the words she had prepared.
The power of words is weak. If words alone could change everything, then wars and all kinds of violence would not happen.
Want to threaten Hu Na? She can indeed do it, whether it is with the help of the power of the academy or Mrs. Isabella's connections in the music and entertainment circles.
However, she didn't want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary, simply because she hated such behavior.
"Let's go see Pekosi. I hope it will be easier this time."
In the evening, Tilan and Pekosi sat in a warmly lit restaurant in the academy.
Peksi has long blond hair, which is a softer chestnut color than Avni. This young lady is wearing a light blue and white dress today. Compared with Hu Na, she seems to be much gentler and more polite.
"I roughly know why Tilan came here. I can promise you to quit the club." At the beginning, the other party gave the girl a surprise.
"However, I hope that Tilan can help Cesarens later and give her a chance to redeem herself." The other party cut the cake gently with a knife and fork, and then gave a piece to Tilan.
"Why do you say that?" The girl was puzzled.
"Tilan doesn't know yet, but you should take over Amorth's position." The girl did not deny this.
"I know, you are basically designated as the next student union president. Not only that, several top students in the first grade are around you, and the teachers have a high opinion of you." She said slowly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, in the next few years, you will gradually become a leader among the students, and everyone will gather around you. And Cesarens will be ostracized and hated because of this incident. Moreover, once she graduates, she will lose the protection of the academy and will find it difficult to integrate into the circle of her peers. She will probably have a hard time."
"This is not my malicious speculation, but there are many precedents, especially for someone like Cesarens, who offended many people during her time in the academy, and her family background was not enough to completely protect her."
"Since Peksi knew it before, why didn't she stop her?" Tilan asked.
"I have tried to persuade her, but you know that even friends can't be too direct or excessive. I can't stop her, that's just her personality."
"Because her family is not rich and her father's company is declining, she is more eager to seek attention than ordinary students, and she also hopes to establish a club to manage her connections in preparation for the future after graduation."
"It's surprising, isn't it? Although she looks arrogant and domineering, she is actually very anxious and cares about her self-esteem. She doesn't allow anyone to provoke her. She always seeks to be in an advantageous position." Peksi told what she had always known.
"Sometimes people are so strange. If I didn't see her true nature, I would probably hate such people, but it is precisely because I understand her anxiety and weakness deep in her heart that I can tolerate her shortcomings." Peksi ate the cake in small bites, then put down her knife and fork and looked at the girl opposite.
"Originally, I was thinking about whether I should persuade her to change her style, or take her out for a trip to relax and avoid the limelight, but since Tilan has come to me, let it go."
Pekosi, it's really... The girl couldn't describe the girl in front of her for a moment. Although she looked gentle, she seemed to be very rational, without any competitive or confrontational spirit, as if everything should go with the flow, and she would only give a little guidance.
If she didn't have the expectations and responsibilities given by the academy, she would probably act in a similar style to her.
Shaking her head slightly, Tilan regained consciousness and agreed to the other party.
"If Cesarens can admit her mistakes and turn over a new leaf, I can give her a chance to atone for her sins and won't let others bully her easily."
Pexel looked at Tilan and answered, then slowly stood up and bowed to thank her: "Thank you Tilan, please give me three days, I will persuade Cesarens."
"I will also accompany her on the public apology, so that she will feel better. As for Hu Na, I hope Tilan doesn't mind her words. She also has a lot of difficulties, because her mother raised her alone after the divorce, which gave her great expectations and also put a lot of pressure on her. She often urged and instructed her in various ways. She can only relax when she is having fun in the club, so she will reject the proposal to disband the club."
After saying this, she waved goodbye and left in the shuttle.
Although Cesarens's behavior was inappropriate, it is really enviable to have a friend like Pexel around her.
