Jiang Zheng looked at Gao Jing seriously with a serious expression.

"Gao Jing, it really wasn't me who did this."

Gao Jing nodded vigorously, trying to express that she believed Jiang Zheng's words.

The more she acted like this, the more Jiang Zheng felt that Gao Jing said she believed in her just because she wanted to protect her.

This feeling made her want to lose her temper and scream, and the irritability rising from the bottom of her heart made her unlike herself.

Suddenly, Jiang Zheng suppressed everything and said calmly, "Let's go."

Having said that, he walked out of the dormitory without further explanation.

After the afternoon class, Jiang Zheng stood up and called Ji Ling, "Can you talk for a few minutes?"

Ji Ling saw Gao Jing standing next to Jiang Zheng with a worried look on her face, wondering what the two were going to do. Miao Man and the other two saw this and immediately came over to Ji Ling.

"I went back to the dormitory to get something at noon today and found a red cashmere coat torn and thrown on my bed. I want to explain to you that the clothes were not damaged by me. Gao Jing told me that they were your clothes after she came back." Most people in the class had left, and Jiang Zheng told them what happened at noon.

"Who would do such a wicked thing?" Miao Man glared at Gao Jing.

Gao Jing pursed her lips and said nothing. This time she did not defend herself, but just stood quietly beside Jiang Zheng.

Tang Meng and Li Jia also thought that it was Gao Jing who did it. After they left, Gao Jing was the only one in the dormitory.

"You don't have to doubt Gao Jing. She wasn't in the dormitory when I got back. She came back only because she realized she forgot to lock the door."

"That doesn't mean she didn't do it." Miao Man said.

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and said, "The dormitory door is not locked. Anyone could have been there."

She didn't mention anyone by name, but she was protecting Gao Jing in disguise.

Gao Jing did not defend herself, nor did she stand up and let everyone accuse her of crimes, which made it seem like they were bullying her.

When Ji Ling heard that her clothes were torn, her face turned unhappy. Based on what happened before, Ji Ling knew without guessing that it was Gao Jing who did it, but she was very powerful. Just like now she changed her method again. Unlike before when she showed weakness and pretended to be pitiful to explain, now she just let everyone bully her.

She can't catch you and just let her ruin your mood.

Ji Ling didn't want to bother with someone like Gao Jing, but she always jumped out and made trouble, which really ruined her mood.

"That dress is very important to me. What should I do?" Ji Ling said calmly, not to Jiang Zheng or Gao Jing. "Other things are fine, but this one can't just be forgotten."

When Ji Ling said this, Gao Jing's eyelids were tightly closed. She couldn't see if there was any panic in her eyes. Ji Ling really admired her for being able to stay so calm.

"Ji Ling, you don't have to say anything. I'll compensate you. Anyway, the clothes were thrown on my bed, so just think of it as me who damaged them. How much did you spend on them? I'll give you the money." Jiang Zheng was annoyed.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "I don't want money, I just want clothes."

Jiang Zheng said, "Okay, I'll buy you some clothes."

After saying that, she called Gao Jing and they both strode away.

Miao Man looked at the backs of the two people leaving and said angrily, "She is too arrogant. She damaged someone's clothes, and she just needs to return one?"

"Let her pay it back." Ji Ling smiled, "We'll talk about it after she pays it back."

Miao Man and the others were indignant, unaware that Ji Ling had a plan in mind.

After Jiang Zheng agreed to the deal, she turned around and went to the public telephone booth to call home. Jiang's mother was very surprised to hear that her daughter wanted a bright red cashmere coat. She didn't ask any more questions and agreed directly. She also asked if she wanted him to buy it and send it to her tomorrow.

Only after hearing their daughter say yes did the mother and daughter hang up the phone.

"Jiang Zheng, you didn't damage the clothes. They said it was me, so it was me. The worst that can happen is that they scold me. I don't care. You don't have to do this for me. Your eldest brother already has a grudge against me because of what happened before, and I don't want to drag you into this because of my affairs." Gao Jing showed that she cared a lot about her friend Jiang Zheng.

"It's okay, just a piece of clothing." Jiang Zheng didn't think anything of it.

Gao Jing lowered her head and followed Jiang Zheng. "It's not good to be friends with me. I always drag you down."

"It has nothing to do with you. It was my fault before. My elder brother misunderstood you." Jiang Zheng didn't want to talk about this and changed the subject. "I have asked my elder brother to help you with your engagement, and the other party agreed, but he said that you have to pay him back for the money you spent on your three years of high school."

"I will pay him back even if I have to sell my blood." Gao Jing felt like she had found a life-saving straw.

"I know you don't have money now, so I gave him my New Year's gifts over the years. You can pay me back when you work and earn money in the future."

"Jiang Zheng, thank you." Gao Jing wiped her eyes.

"I'm lending you money, not giving it away. Don't be like this. Everyone who knows about your situation will help you." Jiang Zheng felt that she did nothing wrong. She pulled a person out of the fire pit and changed her life.

The two returned to the dormitory. Several people in the dormitory could clearly feel that Gao Jing was very happy, and her eyes were bright.

Jiang Zheng saw the torn coat on the bed. She picked it up and asked Ji Ling, "What does this mean?"

"Aren't you going to compensate me with one? Just buy this one exactly like it."

Jiang Zheng put the clothes on Ji Ling's bed. "Don't worry, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Keep this one too. You can ask a tailor to sew it for you."

Seeing Jiang Zheng's confident look, Ji Ling was looking forward to seeing her get slapped in the face tomorrow. It was useless to reason with someone who was too arrogant and conceited. You had to speak to her with facts.

No one in the dormitory knew the content of the letter that Ji Ling received, and naturally they didn't know that the dress was bought from Hong Kong City. However, everyone became more and more disgusted with Jiang Zheng's attitude.

When someone's new clothes are damaged, they think it's enough to just give him another piece of clothing.

Who is this?

The next day at noon, Jiang's mother came with clothes. She went straight to the dormitory. There were only Jiang Zheng and Gao Jing in the dormitory. The other three had gone to eat and had not returned yet.

"This is the red cashmere coat you wanted. You didn't like wearing red before, why do you suddenly want to wear it?" Jiang's mother looked noble, and her every move exuded elegance.

Jiang Zheng first took out the clothes her mother brought, and frowned, "This red is a bit dark."

"Dark? This is the brightest red." Jiang's mother stepped forward and asked, "Are any of your classmates wearing bright red?"

Jiang Zheng seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and looked at the upper bunk. She saw the dress there, took it down, and handed it to her mother, "This color."

Jiang's mother was well-informed. She took it and looked at it for a few seconds. "We can't buy it here. The quality and color of this dress are rare. I'm afraid it can only be bought in Hong Kong."
