Chapter 1196: Reality is Cruel, But We Must Accept It!
Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Reality is Cruel, But We Must Accept It!
“Sometimes, humility is necessary!” Lin Yingying said with a smile after seeing Jian Dan’s reaction, “Otherwise, it will be quite embarrassing when you get slapped in the face!”
Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao reached for their ears at the same time, without any communication between them, yet they made the same gesture, proving just how unappealing Lin Yingying’s words had been.
The body language between Xia Mengjiao and Jian Dan was so disdainful that even someone who couldn’t read minds could see it…
“Whether my husband is good or not, doesn’t need anyone else’s judgment. As long as he is the best in my heart, that’s all that matters!
I’m not like some people who compare everything, even trading their feelings and souls for it!” Jian An’s words were a direct jab at those people.
Jian Dan noticed that Lin Yingying’s expression changed slightly as she spoke, so she continued, “I don’t know what’s up with my stomach today, but it feels really awful, so I went to the restroom…”
As soon as Jian Dan said this, Xia Mengjiao immediately understood her intention and chimed in, “You really shouldn’t have eaten so much just because it was the class monitor treating us, right? You ate so much that you ended up with a stomachache, and right after Lin Yingying left, you went too. But she’s back, and you’re still not here? I almost went to the restroom to fish you out!”
When Xia Mengjiao spoke, she kept glancing at Lin Yingying from the corner of her eye.
The people present, aside from Jian Dan, Xia Mengjiao, and Lin Yingying, had no clue why Jian Dan suddenly shifted the topic to having a stomachache.
But the truth was, Jian Dan and the others didn’t expect them to understand. As long as the right person got the message, that was enough. If everyone caught on right away, it wouldn’t be fun later on.
Lin Yingying glared fiercely at Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao.
Jian Dan could clearly see the contours of Lin Yingying’s clenched jaw, indicating just how furious she was at that moment.
Lin Yingying slowly approached Jian Dan, smiling on her face, but the ruthlessness in her eyes was crystal clear to Jian Dan. “Jian Dan, we’re all good classmates, right? This kind of competition isn’t nice. You agree, don’t you?” Then, leaning close to Jian Dan’s ear, she whispered menacingly, “You should know what to say and what not to say. Those words you shouldn’t say had better rot in your stomach, or else I’ll make you regret it!”
As she backed away from Jian Dan’s ear, her face shifted back to a smile once more.
The speed at which she changed her expression was even faster than a face-changing act!
“Jian, what did she just whisper in your ear?” Xia Mengjiao asked quietly.
“She threatened me!”
“She threatened you?” Xia Mengjiao barely held back her laughter.
To threaten anyone, and you choose to threaten Chu Liyuan’s wife. She really must think she has too long a lifespan.
“Class monitor, there’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you!” Jian Dan didn’t want to waste more time here, thinking about these opportunistic classmates whom she probably wouldn’t see again.
But the class monitor was truly a rare breed, maintaining a sincere heart even in such a situation. He was a friend worth keeping.
“Jian Dan, you’d better think carefully!” Lin Yingying hissed through her teeth, word by word.
Jian Dan didn’t even glance at her, her eyes fixed on Fang Yuan…
Seeing the light in Fang Yuan’s eyes dim, Jian Dan had a bold guess. Could it be he knew all about Lin Yingying’s actions?
“Class monitor, everyone has their own choices. I have no right to interfere with yours, because that’s the path you’ll walk in life. But you were the only one who spoke up for me today, so there’s something I want to tell you…”
Fang Yuan slowly lifted his head, meeting Jian Dan’s gaze…
“Reality can sometimes be very cruel, but we still need to accept it!”
Jian Dan could tell that Fang Yuan was struggling inside, but the day he fell for Lin Yingying, he was destined to face such a day.
