After that, He Jing stopped going to school with them.
Because she left after the fight, her posture made it seem as if she was not in the same group as peasants like them.
However, they did not expect the traffic to be so bad in the morning rush hour. The bus and taxi stopped side by side. He Jing sat comfortably in the back seat of the taxi, while He Sui and He Ning stood close to each other by the door, packed like sardines.
When their eyes met, He Jing indifferently retracted her gaze. He Sui leaned against the bus door and gritted his teeth. “She definitely did it on purpose.” He Ning had no words.
In the end, the taxi arrived at the school before the bus. He Jing got out of the taxi and happened to meet Cheng Yi, who was coming out of the luxury car.
Cheng Yi looked at He Jing in surprise, then understood something. She smiled and greeted He Jing. “Good morning, He Jing.”
He Jing didn’t even look up. She replied perfunctorily with a ‘morning’ and walked into Yin High School.
Of course, Cheng Yi wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity to ridicule her for no reason. She promptly caught up and asked hypocritically, “Did He Jing quarrel with her brothers, so she came to school alone?”
He Jing ignored her, as if she hadn’t heard her.
Cheng Yi continued, “Isn’t He Jing curious about what I said to Second brother and Fourth brother yesterday?”
He Jing finally stopped and said frostily, “There’s no need to know.” What else could it be; it wasn’t hard to guess.
Cheng Yi got a response and knew that He Jing was not feeling calm. She smiled again and stopped as well. She held her bag in front of her with both hands and said confidently and briskly, “He Jing, do you know that although some people are born with bad luck, even if they were rich but switched at birth, God will not mistreat them? And some people might have a good life and could become part of a rich family even if they weren’t rich, but they still have nothing. They don’t have parents to dote on them, nor do they have elder brothers to dote on them. They’re quite pitiful.
“Just like this time, you clearly didn’t do anything, but everyone is on my side. He Jing, good grades aren’t everything. Being smart is. Am I right?”
At this moment, He Jing didn’t know whether to scold her or sympathize with He Sui and He Ning. She said coldly, “If you really like them and treat them as your biological brothers, stop using them and showing off. Otherwise, believe me, you will lose them very soon!”
Cheng Yi’s expression changed, and she stood up straight. “That’s just sour grapes; what do you know? My relationship with Second brother and Fourth brother will never change.”
“Oh, really?”
She only knew that there was a limit to a person’s patience. After being repeatedly used and hurt, feelings would slowly thin out. In the end, it would be like a glacier melting, and not a trace would be left.
“Then I wish you good luck.”
He Jing entered the classroom and was quickly surrounded by a group of people, including Wu Yu. All of them looked worried. He Jing asked, “What’s wrong?” Only then did they start talking at once.
“Shen Qiuyu has returned to school. She didn’t transfer schools.”
“Her expression was so fierce when she came in just now. It was obvious that she wanted to cause trouble for you, Sister Jing.”
“Sister Jing, why don’t you run away? Brother Xi isn’t here, so Shen Qiuyu will most likely attack you.”
Although fighting was forbidden in the school, and Yan Hanxi was a huge mountain that hung over the school, Yin High School was jointly funded by three wealthy families, Cheng, Yan, and Shen. Shen Qiuyu was the daughter of a board member, so even Yan Hanxi could not touch her.
In the past, He Jing was the daughter of the Cheng family and had the same status as Shen Qiuyu. That was why the two of them were evenly matched. Now that her identity as the daughter of the Cheng family had been replaced, she would definitely be at a disadvantage if she were to fight against her…
Speaking of the devil – Shen Qiuyu had arrived..
