88 088 Sending you home
After Lu Qing heard Tan Jing’s words, his lips curved into a smile. He didn’t say anything and returned to his seat.
Tan Jing’s explanation naturally couldn’t convince anyone. The other girls didn’t say anything, but in their hearts, they still felt that Tan Jing was just pretending to be good after taking advantage of Lu Qing. She had taken advantage of Lu Qing’s identity as his prospective girlfriend for so long that no one dared to speak to him. Now, she was going to let it go just by saying that she was shy?
However, most people were still afraid of Tan Jing’s status as the eldest daughter of the Tan family, so they did not dare to quarrel with her. Moreover, it was usually the people around Tan Jing who made things difficult for the rest of them. Tan Jing herself did not go too far. These girls would just let it go after ranting it.
However, the faces of Tan Jing’s lackeys did not look good. Usually, Tan Jing would tell them how much she and Lu Qing liked each other. Lu Qing would send her some small notes in private and invite the Tan family over to his house. It felt like the wedding was near.
Now that Lu Qing had taken the initiative to clarify, Tan Jing said that it was always like this and that she was too shy to explain herself. In the end,Tan Jing was the one who got the best in everything. These people helped Tan Jing to argue and establish her authority. In the end, they became the guns in Tan Jing’s hands, offending people everywhere and ending up receiving hatred from everyone else.
These people felt embarrassed when they thought about it. In the past, they used to laugh at other girls’ wishful thinking. Now, they felt embarrassed. They also began to blame Tan Jing in their hearts.
No one was a fool. They weren’t born to do this kind of thing. If it wasn’t for Tan Jing’s sincere and pitiful words, would they have offended the others?
Now, Tan Jing was still pretending to be pitiful and trying to get herself out of it but Tan Jing did not care about the lives of these people.
Tan Rou took in everyone’s expressions. Tan Jing’s words just now could be said to be a desperate attempt to survive. In the face of Lu Qing’s clarification and how he had targeted her, Tan Jing had no other choice but to come up with such an excuse.
It didn’t matter if this explanation was useful or not. At least, Lu Qing didn’t hold on to it anymore. This matter was considered over. After all, the Tan family was still a prestigious one and none of them could openly be on bad terms with Tan Jing.
However, Tan Jing had lost the public’s heart.
Ordinary people were quite critical of her and had some scruples in their hearts but they didn’t dare to make trouble for the time being. Her followers around her were resentful of her and held grudges in their hearts.
If they became more and more sullen and suffered more and more losses because they were with Tan Jing, who would be left to continue flattering her?
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows and laughed.
Tan Jing’s era was about to pass. She had relied on confusing people to get her to this position but now her grounds were riddled with holes. No one would charge into the enemy lines for her. The day when the building collapsed was getting closer.
Tan Rou laughed for a little before lowering her head. She shouldn’t be too happy now.
Tan Jing’s situation had become more and more difficult and Lu Qing’s impression of her was getting worse and worse. However, if she were to find a doctor who could help old Master Lu like she did in her previous life, then Lu Qing and the people around her would have a rebound in their attitude towards her. Then, Tan Jing would recover to her usual stance.
Presumably, Tan Jing also regarded this as her trump card. As long as this matter was resolved, it would be easy to regain the favourable impression of Lu Qing and the other girls.
Tan Rou told herself that she couldn’t let her guard down and should keep this matter in mind.
Just as he was thinking about it, the bell rang. School finally came to an end.
Tan Rou packed up her bag. In fact, she had already learned all of these and there was no need for a revision back at home. She was only doing it for show.
Seeing that Tan Rou was about to leave with her bag on her back, Lu Qing quickly caught up with her. “Tan Rou, let me walk you home.”
Tan Rou looked back at Lu Qing suspiciously and joked, “Handsome Lu, please don’t harm me. If you send me home, I’ll be eaten alive by your little fans again tomorrow.”
Lu Qing scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect it to be like this. I didn’t mean it.”
Tan Rou rolled her eyes at Lu Qing jokingly. “It’s alright. I’m just joking. You can’t be blamed for this.”
The two of them chatted as they walked towards the school gate.
Tan Rou saw that although Lu Qing said that he wanted to send her home, he had been considerate and kept a distance from her. He only followed behind her on her right; at a safe distance that wasn’t too close nor too far.
Tan Rou was a little puzzled. What was this Lu Qing trying to do? Was he deliberately trying to attract hatred for her? It didn’t seem like it. He couldn’t have liked her, right? Tan Rou wasn’t that narcissistic.
