"Look, that's Lin Tingnian."
Lin Tingnian was walking up the sophomore teaching building as usual when she suddenly heard whispers beside her.
In a moment, afraid of being discovered, the whispers gradually faded away in the air.
Lin Tingnian paused in her steps, turned around to look at the two people who had just been whispering behind her, and a flash of malice quickly passed through her eyes.
She smiled sweetly, took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the two girls who were talking, and whispered softly, "What were you guys talking about? What's wrong with me?"
Her smile was very sweet, with a hint of smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, but this smile never reached the bottom of her eyes, which were faintly cold.
The two girls were stunned. They didn't expect their voices to be heard by Lin Tingnian, and their cheeks blushed slightly.
The other girl was very bold. She put her hands on her hips and said righteously, "Lin Tingnian, don't think we don't know what you've done. You're the mastermind behind the slander of Lin Jinran!"
As the words fell to the ground, the corridor was quiet for a few seconds. The passing students slowed down their steps and quietly looked over.
Lin Tingnian immediately put on a wronged expression and gently bit her lip. "What are you guys talking about? I don't understand. What mastermind?"
One of the girls was annoyed by Lin Tingnian's tea - bitch act. She got angry from the bottom of her heart and reached out to push her directly.
Lin Tingnian was stunned. Without any defense, she staggered back a few steps. She managed to steady herself by holding on to the wall on one side and shouted in surprise, "Hey, why did you push me for no reason?!"
"Stop acting like a tea - bitch. Who are you pretending for? I'm not falling for your tricks. You're disgusting, pretentious, and cheap!" The girl scolded in succession. Afraid that Lin Tingnian would take revenge, she quickly pulled the other girl away.
Lin Tingnian leaned against the wall. The smile on her lips gradually disappeared, and her pupils became deep.
Why did Lin Jinran have so many people to protect her? Why was her reputation ruined, and why did someone stand up for Lin Jinran so quickly?
The hand hanging at her waist was tightly clenched into a fist.
She found a secluded place and sent a text message to Su Qinian: "Su Qinian, do you want to know why Lin Jinran transferred to Wannan City?"
She got his phone number from another classmate.
The phone vibrated, and Su Qinian replied, "Lin Tingnian? Sorry, not interested."
Lin Tingnian was furious. She typed frantically, "Because she's just a burden. Are you sure you want to be with someone like this???"
"Maybe you don't know. Her mother is in a vegetative state and is now lying in a hospital in Wannan City. Aren't you curious? Don't you want to know?"
A burden that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan a month!
Lin Tingnian showed a victorious smile, and madness flashed in her eyes. She didn't believe that Su Qinian would still choose Lin Jinran.
It was a long time before a message came from the other side.
The smile on Lin Tingnian's lips widened. She slowly opened her phone. It took so long for him to reply. He must have been shocked. Maybe he was choosing to give up after some thought.
But when she opened the text message, she was stunned, and disbelief appeared on her face.
[Su Qinian]: "So what? Lin Tingnian, don't use your shameless mindset to judge others. I'm not you. And she is just herself. I've always only chosen her, regardless of any status."
[Su Qinian]: "Moreover, it's her choice not to tell me about her mother. I respect her decision. But you, you're recklessly publicizing others' pain. Lin Tingnian, if you walk on dark roads too often, you'll eventually fall into the water. You'd better think it over. This is Wannan City, not the imperial capital where you're from."
Lin Tingnian's eyes widened. She stared fixedly at these two text messages, trembling with anger as she held the phone tightly.
Su Qinian, he actually didn't care about this. The Lin Jinran he cared about was just Lin Jinran, regardless of any other status.
It's impossible. It must be impossible.
Su Qinian... he must be just saying this to deceive her.
On the other side.
Lin Jinran didn't sleep well this afternoon.
She dreamed that she was wearing a school uniform and constantly running away at the school gate. Behind her, Lin Cheng, Yang Jinzhi, and Lin Tingnian turned into hideous and distorted monsters, stretching out their hands to grab her.
The school was very quiet, dead - silent. Lin Jinran stumbled forward. Suddenly, she sprained her ankle and fell directly to the ground, eating a mouthful of dust.
The exposed part of her ankle suddenly felt cold, and the chill instantly rushed into her bloodstream.
Lin Jinran was shocked. She looked back and saw that it was Lin Tingnian who had grabbed her foot. The gloomy laughter of Lin Tingnian rang in her ears: "Hehe, I've caught you."
"Aaaaah..."
Lin Jinran suddenly woke up from the nightmare. Her glass - like eyes were full of panic and fear. Suddenly, a magnified face came into view. She let out a scream and stepped back. The chair fell backward.
Su Qinian quickly reached out and grabbed her. He looked at her with a complaining expression. "When did I become so scary?"
With his other hand, he quietly turned off the screen of his phone and put it away.
Lin Jinran: "!!!"
"You appeared so suddenly." Lin Jinran glared at him angrily.
This nap was so restless. The dream was in a mess. Sometimes she dreamed that someone was going to catch her, and sometimes she dreamed that she was taken away.
She woke up with a heavy head.
Lin Jinran was in a complete mess. She "shua" pushed the stool away and went to the toilet.
After using the toilet, she still felt uneasy. It should be the threat from Lin Cheng this morning that he wanted her to transfer schools that affected her.
Lin Jinran took a deep breath. She had no idea what to do. She just hated that she wasn't grown - up yet, that she didn't have a chance to earn money, and that she couldn't get rid of Lin Cheng's control.
The medical expenses for her mother were obtained on the condition that Lin Cheng agreed to divorce her. It was in black and white and legally binding. Lin Cheng couldn't violate it.
Lin Jinran stared blankly at the flowing water. After a while, she lowered her eyelids and took out her phone to search "What should I do if my family forces me to transfer schools?"
Baidu said that it was recommended to seek legal support.
She pursed her lips and searched for "transfer procedures".
First, the student's parents should submit a transfer application to the school. Second, the original school should issue a transfer contact form, etc. Just for the first step, if Lin Cheng spent some effort to bribe someone, he was fully capable of getting her transferred.
The head - teacher, the grade director, or even the principal might not be able to stop him at that time.
Su Qinian comforted her that he would help her. Aunt Ying also sent a message to comfort her, saying that she wouldn't let Lin Cheng succeed.
Suddenly, her vision became blurred. With a gentle blink, big teardrops fell continuously into the sink like broken beads.
What should she do? When would she finally grow up completely?
