Chapter 500 - 482 Entanglement (Part Two)
Zhao Xuan didn’t have the habit of kicking someone when they were down; in her mind, there was no need to further sully her hands, so she thought it would be best if everyone simply forgot each other as though they had never met.
Zhao Xuan wanted to leave, not wanting to get entangled with Qi Xinrou anymore, but clearly, Qi Xinrou didn’t share the same sentiment.
In her heart, Zhao Xuan was still the "good best friend" who cared about face and could forgive easily. Qi Xinrou believed that with a few sweet words, she could still lead Zhao Xuan by the nose, making her give whatever was asked of her.
Qi Xinrou thought about why she had chosen to confront Zhao Xuan at a time when most of their classmates hadn’t left the classroom – it was because she believed her own popularity was better than Zhao Xuan’s, and that people would stand by her and speak up for her. Under the pressure of their peers, Zhao Xuan would more easily "reconcile" with her. However, so far, the reactions from Zhao Xuan and the other students had taken her by surprise.
Still, Qi Xinrou considered herself quite knowledgeable about Zhao Xuan. Her confidence remained unshaken, even after being rejected by Zhao Xuan. She was convinced that she could still control her, so she suppressed her discomfort, used her trump card, and with tears welling up in her eyes, grabbed Zhao Xuan’s hand and cried, "Xuan Xuan, I know I’ve upset you, but you’ve been angry for so many days now. Are you still mad? Can’t you forgive me?"
Good news stays inside, bad news spreads far and wide.
Ever since Baili Chengye’s family’s downfall, with his father sentenced to prison, the entire campus knew about their misfortune. Because of this, Baili Chengye had been in a bad mood for the past few days, regretting that he had returned the hundred thousand yuan to her and incessantly demanding money from her.
He kept trying to persuade her to steal the bankbook, saying that since her parents had already seen it, she could just lend him the money for his business ventures and then return it once he made a profit, with her parents none the wiser.
