"Jiang Zheng, I'll just apologize to Ji Ling myself at noon. It doesn't matter if she doesn't forgive me."
"I'd better let me talk to her." Jiang Zheng saw Gao Jing rubbing the corner of her clothes. How could she say that? At noon, Ji Ling didn't go to eat. Miao Man and others took over the task of getting food. Jiang Zheng and Gao Jing followed behind, motioning Gao Jing to get food, and she also returned to the dormitory.
Ji Ling had already seen Jiang Zheng following behind her from the corner of her eye. Gao Jing behaved like a green tea girl and had no friends. The only person she could use was someone like Jiang Zheng, who thought she had a sense of justice but was spoiled by her family and had no brains.
"Ji Ling." As soon as she entered the dormitory, Jiang Zheng went straight to the point, "Ji Ling, I want to talk to you about Gao Jing."
"Who do you think you are?" Ji Ling replied rudely.
Jiang Zheng was slightly stunned, her face tensed, "Ji Ling, we are all classmates, Gao Jing didn't do it on purpose, you should know her, she is not that kind of person."
"What kind of person? Someone as thoughtful as me?"
"Ji Ling, do you really have to talk like that? You are very childish now, you are a little kid, and we are college students, we are adults. I think after a morning, you have calmed down."
"I was very calm, otherwise I would have slapped Gao Jing in the face right then and there. Instead, she is still safe and sound now."
Jiang Zheng was criticized again and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She had witnessed Ji Ling's power last time, so she was not surprised to face her sharpness now.
"Gao Jing is very pitiful. That was her fiancé, who promised to support her education and let Gao Jing marry him. But the man was with a widow in the village and had a child. Now he wants to marry Gao Jing. The whole family depends on Gao Jing's death. We are women of the new era. When we see our classmates in trouble, we should stand up and protect them instead of watching them fall into despair."
"It's quite pitiful, but I think it's a personal matter and has nothing to do with me. I only know that I was beaten."
"Ji Ling, do you have to be so ruthless? I apologized to you because I misunderstood you before. Now Gao Jing is in trouble and we all have to help her. Don't you think she is pitiful?"
Ji Ling shook her head. "Someone is paying for her education, and all she has to do is marry him. Is that the promise they made? How can she be pitiful? At least she can still study. Some people don't even have such an opportunity."
Jiang Zheng's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could you think like that? Ji Ling, you are an educated person, how can you be so old-fashioned? Of course, I didn't say Gao Jing shouldn't trust promises, but the man doesn't want to treat Gao Jing as a wife, but as the blood that supports their entire family. I think you should be able to realize this."
"What does that have to do with me? There are so many miserable people in the world, do I have to pity them?" Ji Ling sneered at Jiang Zheng, "Jiang Zheng, you have been spoiled by your family since you were a child, and you think the world is too beautiful and not clean."
Gao Jing is not as simple as she seems. After living two lifetimes, Ji Ling can still follow Gao Jing's ways, not to mention a newbie like Jiang Zheng. Just like at this moment, Jiang Zheng is like the gun in Gao Jing's hand, shooting wherever she points, and is completely led by the nose.
"I have always believed that as long as a person is kind, he will see the world as beautiful. If one's heart is dark, he will see everyone as bad."
Ji Ling smiled, "Jiang Cheng, you are amazing. You are such a proud person, but when you are with Gao Jing, you can even make indirect accusations. I am curious about how your family will feel when they see you become like this."
"I won't make indirect accusations. I will only speak the truth." Jiang Zheng said, "I apologize to you on behalf of Gao Jing for what happened today. I hope you won't spread the news about her and that man in the dormitory. She already has low self-esteem. If people spread the news that she has an older fiancé, I'm worried that she will be even more embarrassed in school."
"You think too much. I'm not so mean as to slander others behind their backs." Ji Ling was too lazy to argue with Jiang Zheng. "As for the beating I got, how I deal with it is my business. No one else has to worry about it."
Ji Ling felt upset after being hit for no reason today, but she didn't think of blaming Gao Jing. She was just in a bad mood and didn't want to say more. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zheng found her first.
People like Jiang Zheng always stand on the highest moral point and think that what she does is just, but she doesn't know that she is just a fool. Why bother with a fool?
Jiang Zheng couldn't shout at her from behind, so she could only hurry up and follow. Ji Ling lay down on the bed. Jiang Zheng found that she had to raise her head to talk to Ji Ling, but she felt like she was being suppressed and felt uncomfortable, so she simply ignored her and sat back on the bed.
After the other people in the dormitory came back from getting their meals, Miao Man and the others became lively and the dormitory immediately became lively. However, Gao Jing, who came in last, became much quieter.
This is a matter of personal character. After seeing this, Jiang Zheng felt that Gao Jing was even more pitiful and felt more sympathy for her. After dinner, she simply took Gao Jing to find her elder brother for help.
"Finally they left. I was so depressed when they were around." Miao Man exhaled, "Ji Ling, what's wrong with your face?"
This time, no classmates were listening, and no Jiang Zheng and Gao Jing were there, so Miao Man asked generously.
Ji Ling told what happened in the morning.
Miao Man exclaimed, "I know. He is a man who looks to be in his forties. His eyes are wandering around and he doesn't look like a good person, right?"
Without waiting for Ji Ling to ask, she started talking, "That day, I followed Gao Jing and found out that she stayed at Jiang Zheng's place on the weekend, and then went back to school. I didn't expect a man downstairs to look for her. He was very angry when he heard that Gao Jing was not in school."
"It must be because of this. The man found Gao Jing this morning. I didn't expect Gao Jing to be so mean. She pulled you out to block the man's slap."
Ji Ling smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's not like she dragged me along, but she did want to use me to block the men."
Recalling the moment when she was beaten, Gao Jingding knew that the other party would do such a thing, so she used her to escape the man's entanglement. Ji Lingke still remembers what Jiang Zheng said.
That's what it means to put them together.
I didn’t expect Gao Jing to be so thoughtful.
Ji Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ji Ling, how can you still laugh?" Tang Meng asked, "Did you get beaten silly?"
"If you don't fight, you'd be a fool." Ji Ling smiled as she ate her meal slowly. To be honest, half of her face was swollen and it hurt when she moved it while eating, so she lost her appetite after a few bites.
There were classes in the afternoon. When a few people went downstairs, they saw a boy standing not far away. When he saw Ji Ling and her group, he, who was originally leaning, immediately stood up straight.
"Sister-in-law." Zhu Heping waved with a smile.
