Chapter 372: I Really Trusted the Wrong Person
Zhou Yiqing’s face was deathly pale, tears rolling down her cheeks one by one. Ji Niandong stiffly turned her head to look at her. Zhou Yiqing opened her mouth and said, "Did you forget how he flirted with you at the YT International Hotel? Tongtong, are you looking at me like this because you believe him?"
Zhou Yiqing looked at him incredulously, her eyes filled with hurt and grievance!
Ji Niandong pressed her lips together. She didn’t know why, but she did believe Lin Ji Yang’s words!
Zhou Yiqing, seeing her remain silent, turned and walked away, "I really trusted the wrong person!"
"Qingqing?!" Ji Niandong called out.
Zhou Yiqing replied resolutely, "Don’t talk to me!"
"What’s going on between you and Shen Congjun?" Ji Niandong asked calmly as she watched her back. Zhou Yiqing suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Only then did Zhou Yiqing slowly turn to look at her, her tears had stopped, and the previously indignant and resolute expression had been replaced by a look of confusion in her eyes. "Why are you suddenly asking me this? What could possibly be going on between me and Shen Congjun?"
The previous Ji Niandong would never directly and decisively ask such a question, especially when she was deeply hurt.
Only then did Zhou Yiqing carefully examine the woman in front of her. Indeed, she had changed; she was no longer so gentle and easily bullied!
There was not a trace of emotion on Ji Niandong’s face as if she was just innocently asking her, "Someone saw you and him get into the same car!"
Zhou Yiqing exhaled a subtle sigh of relief, "We just got into the same car, that’s all! Ah! I know which time you’re talking about, it was when you ignored Shen Congjun, and he thought I was very close to you, so he insisted on asking me to dinner, asking me to come over to you and put in a good word for him!"
"Then why didn’t you tell me?" Ji Niandong’s expression remained ordinary.
"I asked you a few times about what was going on between you and him, and you seemed very resistant, not willing to mention him, so I didn’t say anything!" Zhou Yiqing lowered her head slightly, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room first!"
She seemed a bit eager to leave. Ji Niandong blurted out, "Wait a minute!"
"What now?" Zhou Yiqing turned to look at her, her eyebrows furrowing unconcealed.
Ji Niandong swallowed and spoke with a hint of indifference, "The last time at the mall, you used my card, when will you repay it, I..."
"Are you short of money?" She hadn’t finished speaking when Zhou Yiqing interrupted her, "My payment hasn’t been issued yet. You don’t need money, so why are you so eager to ask for it, making it seem like I’m not going to pay you back!"
Zhou Yiqing turned around to face her and accused, "Tongtong, what’s wrong with you today? One moment you believe Lin Ji Yang’s words and accuse me, the next you suspect me with Shen Congjun, and now you’re asking me for money? To think I considered you my best friend; turns out I mean nothing to you!"
She turned and left in a huff!
Ji Niandong stood still, her heart growing cold!
She had never seen this side of Zhou Yiqing before, a woman who had always been gentle and quiet, speaking with her head lowered and tone slow.
She realized she truly had been too naive and blind in the past!
Unable to see through anyone, unable to distinguish right from wrong! As a result, Shen Congjun has not only not repaid the money but has vanished without a trace. Very well, once she’s done, she’ll settle it all!
"Want to eat something?!" Lin Ji Yang opened the door again, leaning against it as he handed her a banana!
Ji Niandong glanced at him, fuming as she headed back to her room.
"Really ungrateful!" Lin Ji Yang snorted disdainfully, "Arguing at my door for ages and not even a thank you!"
He closed his door, and the slightly ajar door opposite also gently closed!
Ji Niandong returned to her room and lay down on the bed, immediately picking up her phone and dialing Lu Beichen’s number, "Little Uncle, what are you doing?"
