Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Ruthless (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1 Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Ruthless (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1 They treated her with nothing but disdain and mockery. The disparity from now was just too great. After much contemplation, Nan Fei would likely grasp why the difference was so extreme.

The problem was with herself.

The way you treat others dictates the way they treat you.

Having realized this, she secretly cheered herself on, vowed to maintain an open mind and to keep trying harder.

After gym class and during the brief ten-minute break, the whole class was discussing the three strangers from school. Even the outgoing students sought out Nan Fei for information.

Zuo Xinyao stood out the most with his disarmingly handsome face.

For the entirety of break, Nan Fei was kept so busy it was as though she was catching her breath. When she said she wasn’t familiar with them, no one believed her.

“I only know his name.”

“What it? What is it?”

“Zuo Xinyao!” Nan Fei said, sighing in resignation. Normally in school, she had a rather cold relationship with her female peers. Almost no girl willingly spoke to her, yet being surrounded by girls for the first time oddly happened because of a man.

“Oh my gosh! He’s handsome and has such a nice name.”

“What about his address? Do you have his address?”

“No!” Nan Fei shook her head, “He’s a friend of Officer Ying. We aren’t familiar at all, we didn’t even talk.”

Only Huo Kewei had exchanged contact details with her, she hadn’t even conversed with Zuo Xinyao. Not to mention knowing his home address!

Only when the bell rang, signaling the end of the break, did the enthusiastic girls return to their seats.

Nan Fei breathed a deep sigh of relief, picked up her cup and gulped down most of the water before finally relaxing. As her gaze swept past He Jinlan’s vacant seat, her unease resurfaced.

She hoped that Sister Chen’s investigation would yield results faster. The anticipation was troubling, she was worried that Granny Huo might get hurt if He Jinlan pretended to accidentally push her down again.

“Nan Fei,” Lu Qingtian, sitting beside her, whispered, “I’ve heard that He Jinlan has returned to the principal’s house again.”

During the last monthly test, Nan Fei’s score was nearly the same as Lu Qingtian. They happened to have been assigned seats next to each other by the class head during yesterday’s seating arrangement.

As for Gongxi Yunqi, he was now sitting with Xie Fei.

According to Xie Fei, he had gone through great lengths to sit with his good buddy, studying night and day. The once notorious ruffian had turned over a new leaf, resulting in a sudden, great improvement in his academic performance. The expressions on Gongxi Yunqi’s face yesterday were certainly colourful to say the least.

“You know about that too?”

“How could I not? My house is not far from the principal’s.” Lu Qingtian gave a surreptitious glance around and, discovering that the teacher was occupied writing on the blackboard, breathed a sigh of relief.

“I heard that He Jinlan was beaten up yesterday, getting knocked unconscious at the school’s front gate. She was rushed to the hospital overnight, so she took leave from school today.”

The hand Nan Fei used to grip her pen tightened slightly. Indeed, there are no secrets that cannot be discovered. When He Jinlan returned to school, she would undoubtedly take the opportunity to flaunt her triumph.

She’s ruthless to herself.

No wonder she wasn’t a match for He Jinlan in her previous life.

“Nan Fei, will her return affect you?” Lu Qingtian vaguely knew some information, understanding the discord between Nan Fei and He Jinlan.

“I’ll tell you a secret.”

“Sure!” Not wanting her mood to affect Lu Qingtian, Nan Fei pressed her lips together, forcing herself to smile.

“I’ve known He Jinlan since we were kids, but back then, she looked down on my family’s butchery and never played with me. Although she never said it out loud, I just knew it.”
