Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Shooting Oneself in the Foot 2

Ma Yiqing pretended to be guilty, "Ah... Mister Ji, sorry sorry, we shouldn’t have gossiped."

Ji Yebai expressionlessly took her phone.

On the screen, there was such a Moments post—

Shenshen Qianxing: Accidentally met the new heartthrob of our school, isn’t he handsome? ^O^

The attached pictures, the first few were of the hot pot restaurant’s decor, and the last one, was Qiao Nancheng.

His large hand was on Ning Xixi’s back, as if holding Ning Xixi in his arms, Ning Xixi’s face flushed, petite and delicate, reaching only to his chest, the scene was so aesthetically beautiful.

Ji Yebai took a deep breath, rage flickering in his eyes!

Ma Yiqing, full of sympathy: "Mister Ji, to get angry over such a matter, it’s not worth it."

"Exactly, exactly, Mister Ji, with your qualifications, what kind of girl can’t you have?"

"Come come come, let’s toast to Mister Ji!"

A group of people were babbling, trying to please Ji Yebai, however, his expression turned even uglier.

Ma Yiqing saw this and quietly curled the corners of her lips.

...

Hot pot restaurant.

Midway through their meal, Cheng Youran went to the restroom, and as she came out to wash her hands, a somewhat surprised voice sounded next to her: "Cheng Youran? What are you doing here?"

She turned around and saw a delicate-looking girl standing in front of her, marred only by a large patch of freckles on her nose.

"Ye Qianxing, are you here to eat too?" The naive Cheng Youran didn’t think much, still smiling as she greeted her.

Ye Qianxing smiled awkwardly, nervously tugging at her clothes: "Youran, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you..."

"What is it?"

"Never mind, I won’t say it."

She waved her hands, looking nervous, yet intriguing Cheng Youran, "What on earth is it?"

Seeing her take the bait, Ye Qianxing rolled her eyes, sighed deeply: "I’ll tell you, but please don’t get angry, don’t be sad..."

"Okay." Cheng Youran became even more curious.

"That day I was passing by the office, I heard the teachers discussing you... They said, you don’t qualify to study at Muying, let alone in the S class. The reason you could come to Muying as an exchange student is because... of someone..."

Cheng Youran’s face paled gradually, her teeth biting her lip: "Who?"

"It’s... Mister Ji. I heard, he ordered the academic office to arrange your transfer for Ning Xixi, perhaps because Ning Xixi had just arrived at Muying and was ostracized by many, had no friends. So, he had you, her good friend, come to accompany her..."

After Ye Qianxing finished, she timidly asked: "Sorry, I shouldn’t have told you this. Youran, you won’t blame me, will you?"

Cheng Youran forced a smile, uglier than crying: "No, I won’t..."

"Sigh, you really have it tough. Coming to Muying, you’re bullied and laughed at. Those rich boys and girls are really hateful, always looking down on us poor folks..." Ye Qianxing appeared to be siding with Cheng Youran, but in fact, she was driving a wedge between her and Ning Xixi! Making Cheng Youran feel that all her suffering was because of Ning Xixi!

"I’ve got another appointment, I’ll leave now."

Ye Qianxing left cheerfully.

Cheng Youran, as if soulless, stumbled back.

"Youran! What’s wrong?!" Ning Xixi supported her, but Cheng Youran, like touching something filthy, immediately shook off Ning Xixi’s hand!
