Chapter 65 - 65 Asking
65 Asking
Seeing that Feng Ying was genuinely concerned about her, Le Wan’s heart felt warm. She took the time to carefully explain to her, “It was nothing. It was just a misunderstanding. Everything is cleared up now, so it’s really fine.”
“Oh, that’s good then.” Feng Ying looked visibly relieved after hearing that.
Meanwhile, the surrounding eavesdroppers couldn’t wait to shake Feng Ying’s shoulders and to have her ask a few more questions. It would be best if she could get to the bottom of it!
What they really wanted to know was what kind of ‘misunderstanding’ could have caused the police to come to their very door. Furthermore, it even involved a handsome second-year student too. Could it be that the love triangle was real?
The onlookers were very curious, but they didn’t dare to ask Le Wan directly. First of all, although she had become much friendlier now, they were still not close to her personally. Secondly, when her face turned cold, it was still quite intimidating. They were still a little scared.
Zhai Jing was also suffering the same treatment. Compared to Le Wan’s silent attitude, Zhai Jing was unfathomably ‘sensible’. No matter who asked him, he would reply: “It was my own problem, but I accidentally implicated Le Wan.”
When asked for specifics, Zhai Jing turned back into an icy prodigy and simply retorted: “No comment.”
During the break between classes, Zhai Jing was about to close his eyes to rest when Fu Sui suddenly a-knocking.
“This is for you!” He threw a box at Zhai Jing.
Zhai Jing opened it and saw a new phone from a certain brand. He asked Fu Sui, “What is the meaning of this?”
Fu Sui turned his head away in embarrassment. “Didn’t you break your phone that day?” In order to stop him from falling over on ‘that day’, Zhai Jing had inadvertently smashed the screen of his mobile phone.
Fu Sui didn’t want to owe anyone anything, especially Zhai Jing.
He had already bought the new phone several days ago, but he couldn’t muster up the courage to give it to Zhai Jing because he felt awkward. This time, he had finally convinced himself to take the initiative to look for Zhai Jing with the excuse that he was concerned about Le Wan.
To his surprise, Zhai Jing threw the phone back to him. “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it.”
The reason he saved Fu Sui was because he owed him, so his phone breaking was totally his fault as well. He didn’t need him to pay for it.
“You!” No one had ever rejected his kindness so bluntly. Fu Sui pointed at him and was so angry that he wasn’t able to speak. ‘You’re good! You’re treating my kindness like donkey liver and lungs!’
Fu Sui took back the phone and was about to leave in a huff, but he turned back halfway and asked with his chin raised up, “You guys made such a big fuss yesterday, so what did you do?”
In fact, Fu Sui had already tried to ask Le Yan last night, but she had been avoiding him on the phone recently, so he didn’t get any useful information from her.
In fact, what really happened was that everything was wrapped up way too quickly. When the news reached Grandpa Le’s ears, he had explained it to everyone else in the Le family that it was clearly just a misunderstanding and there was no need to panic.
So Le Yan tried to beat around the bush, since she only knew that much. When Fu Sui came to ask about this matter, she was afraid that the more she said, the more mistakes she could have made, so she didn’t dare to exaggerate. She could only tell him the truth that she didn’t know either.
In the face of Fu Sui’s questioning, Zhai Jing gave him the same answer, but to Fu Sui’s ears, his answer was quite harsh.
The narrow-minded Fu Sui even suspected that Zhai Jing had said this on purpose to anger him and to show his closeness with Le Wan. He thought: ‘I don’t like Le Wan anymore, so why should I care about your relationship?! Who cares!”
However, although he consoled himself by thinking this, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Zhai Jing’s words. He could only vent his anger out on him by replying, “Then I hope that you can take care of yourself in the future and not drag others down!”
Zhai Jing’s face darkened when he heard him say that. Fu Sui’s words had hit the nail on the head.
When he arrived at school that morning, he had already heard of those ridiculous rumors. He knew that he had brought trouble to Le Wan again, all because of his matter, so he changed his usual attitude and tried to be patient in explaining.
For this reason, he even logged on to the school’s website that he had never used before and reported all the posts that spread rumors one by one. He had also called the police station to find Officer Xing and told him about the incident, hoping that they could do something to prove Le Wan’s innocence.
However, the power of rumors was much greater than he had imagined.
