Chapter 106: You’re Ruthless

Yan Hanxi was initially skeptical, but after hearing her words, he chuckled, amused. “I’ll have a good taste, then.”
His teasing had failed to hit the mark…
He Jing pursed her lips in boredom. It was boring…
She did not know that Cheng Yi had exploded in a fit while she was racking her brains to figure out how to prepare something that would meet Boss Yan’s standards.
Receiving a slew of phone calls from Zhang Man, Cheng Yi had no choice but to answer or show that she was deliberately avoiding the former. As soon as the call connected, Zhang Man roared, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say everything would be fine once you returned to school?”
“I didn’t expect Brother Xi to interfere,” Cheng Yi replied weakly. Even she was helpless!
“I’m in this state because of you. I don’t care what you do, but there must be another way!”
Cheng Yi gritted her teeth. She had already shamelessly begged Ye Shuping to help her once, so she could not ask for a second boon so soon. Hardening her heart, her icy words were like knives twisting in an open wound, “Stop fooling around. What else can I do?”
“Are you going to watch as I repeat high school with the juniors a year lower than us? I’ll become the joke of the school!” Zhang Man snarled. “No matter how inferior my family’s background is compared to yours, I still have a reputation to maintain. I’ve already written a reflection and an apology, just as you made me do. I did it because you promised everything would be fine! Is this what you call fine?!”
Cheng Yi was speechless. She had indeed promised Zhang Man that she would deal with the issue. However, the situation had developed beyond her control, far exceeding her expectations or ability to influence.
“If you don’t help me settle this matter, I’ll tell everyone you forced me to write that reflection and produce that recording. Don’t think for a second that you’d be able to stay in Yin High School afterward!”
Now that their relationship had devolved to this extent, friendship was worth less than a farthing. All Zhang Man cared about was safeguarding her interests.
When Cheng Yi heard this, she sneered. “Since you’re threatening me, I’ll take it you no longer value our friendship. In which case, say whatever you want!
Let’s see who the school populace believes.”
Only then did Zhang Man finally see the truth. She had been used.
Cheng Yi dared to say something so bold as dissolving their friendship because she did not want to leave any evidence behind. No wonder she suddenly changed her phone number, making it difficult to contact her. Even her
WeChat account was brand new.
Cheng Yi had already prepared to sever all ties with her.
“Hah! You win this time. Cheng Yi, you better pray I don’t catch your slithering, slimy tail one day!”
Cheng Yi hung up the phone, seething.
Once bitten, twice shy. That was Zhang Man in a nutshell. She was naturally cautious and never allowed anyone to take advantage of her more than once.
It seemed she would have to think of a way to get rid of Zhang Man – perhaps, having her drop out of school so that she would not become a nuisance.
Several twists and turns occurred in the intervening period, but in the end, Zhang Man voluntarily withdrew from Yin High School.
The Zhang family was considered a fairly wealthy one in A city. They could not afford to have their daughter become a laughing stock in the circles they walked in, so they sent Zhang Man out of the country. All this happened in the span of a night.
He Jing bought a big bag of ingredients from the supermarket that night. Some were for the fancy dishes she had promised Yan Hanxi, while the others were for the sweet potato balls she had promised He Sui.
He Sui had been looking forward to them ever since school ended for the day. When he saw He Jing enter the kitchen with bags laden with groceries, he followed her, afraid he would miss out on more of He Jing’s delicious cooking. “If there’s anything you need my help with, just say the word!” He Sui said eagerly.
He Ning was heading for his room when he noticed He Jing in the kitchen preparing food and immediately made an about turn, sitting on the sofa instead.
He Zhou leaned against the kitchen door and peered at the duo inside. He Xiaoguo was the only one left in the dark. He tilted his head, blinking his large, curious eyes up at He Jing, and asked, “Sister Jing, are you cooking again? Are you as bad at cooking as Sister Xiao Yi?”
He Xiaoguo was the sole member of the family who had never tasted He Jing’s cooking and still had no idea how skilled He Jing was
He Sui could not bear to keep up the pretense and crowed, “Sister Jing’s food is delicious!” He did so while peeling sweet potatoes and yam according to He Jing’s instructions.
No sooner had he spoken than he felt a chill run down his spine.
He peered at He Zhou, realizing his brother’s gloomy expression, which seemed to grow uglier by the second. Not wanting to cause a row among siblings, he quickly amended, “It’s not that delicious. It’s only a little better than Third Brother’s cooking..”
