Chapter 500: Chapter 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.

Baili Chengye made it sound so nice, claiming he would reimburse her double the amount once he made money, but she didn’t believe a word he said.

Eventually, Baili Chengye grew furious when she remained unmoved, raising his voice and complaining about how much money he had spent on her before, and now that he was penniless, the hundred thousand yuan should rightfully be hers.

She found it a nuisance, and after careful consideration, she felt that if she continued her relationship with Baili Chengye according to the original plan, she would eventually go insane.

However, she didn’t dare to even mention leaving him, as he had beaten her just yesterday, specifically targeting places covered by her clothes. He warned her that if she didn’t give him the money or tried to leave him, he would rather destroy both their lives and kill her entire family before committing suicide...

Remembering the crazed expression on Baili Chengye’s face when he made those threats, she shuddered from deep within. She was now desperate to find someone to take Baili Chengye off her hands, and after much consideration, the best candidate seemed to be Zhao Xuan.

Since Baili Chengye’s family wealth had truly dissipated, she believed that he would be willing to cling to the powerful Zhao Family tree again, eager for a return to a life of glory and riches. And considering Zhao Xuan’s wholehearted devotion to Baili Chengye in the past, she was convinced that Zhao Xuan must still be deeply in love with him.

Reflecting on the beating she had received yesterday, Qi Xinrou felt an incredibly sincere urge to bring the two of them back together.

This matter could only succeed, it could not fail.

Having made up her mind, Qi Xinrou clung to Zhao Xuan, pleading earnestly, "Xuan Xuan, I don’t blame you for not forgiving me, but please forgive Chengye. Do you know how he’s been living these days? He misses you so much that he’s started to cry."

Qi Xinrou gazed at Zhao Xuan, "It’s said that men do not easily shed tears, only at times of deep sorrow. His feelings for you are genuine. He truly knew nothing about what his father did. You have no idea how guilty and upset he is over what his father did to you. Xuan Xuan, will you please go to see him, to comfort him?"

"Qi Xinrou, you should go to the hospital for treatment."

Zhao Xuan struggled several times to shake off Qi Xinrou’s hand, then looked at her as if she were an idiot, pointing at her head with a sneer, "Am I to believe that your brain has taken on water?"

"Xuan Xuan, when did you become so heartless? What about the love between you and Baili Chengye that lasted for years? He’s in so much pain because of your departure. Don’t you care enough about the love you once shared to go and comfort him?" Qi Xinrou’s voice broke uncontrollably and she almost roared.

It had to be said that Qi Xinrou was reasonably attractive, and with the delicate and fragile image she often cultivated, she managed to catch the eyes of many of the male students in the class. Even though she was somewhat agitated at the moment, her behavior was interpreted by some as a pitiable resistance after being badly bullied.

Indeed, the world was never short of self-proclaimed chivalrous defenders. Thus, someone finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward to accuse Zhao Xuan on behalf of Qi Xinrou, "Zhao Xuan, stop using your family background to bully people so aggressively. Is money really that important?"

Hope flickered in Qi Xinrou’s eyes. Had someone finally seen the injustice and spoken up for her?

Unable to help herself, she looked towards the source of the voice. It was a male classmate named Liu Yongqiang. Noticing that he was wearing a shirt that was evidently several years old, with worn edges on the sleeves, she inwardly sighed, withdrew what might have been a flirtatious look, and looked down despondently while continuing to wipe her tears, hoping for a real prince to come and "save" her.

What Qi Xinrou didn’t realize was that her act had already caught the attention of many. Who among those who had the ability to enter B University was so naive as to not see through her act? What they were certainly not lacking among them were the unassuming and observant talents, hidden amidst the so-called pride of the heavens.

Suddenly, there was a flicker in someone’s eyes, a sympathetic glance towards Liu Yongqiang who had jumped out.

Zhao Xuan looked at Liu Yongqiang speechlessly, somewhat surprised that he was the one to come forward in Qi Xinrou’s defense.

She knew him; he came from a remote county in the northwest, one of the financially underprivileged students in the class who applied for a scholarship every year. Her impression of him was not merely because they were classmates, but also because she had once unexpectedly come across his profile in her grandfather’s study.

Indeed, he was one of the more promising among the many poor students her grandfather had sponsored over the years, and by a twist of fate, they were in the same class.

"Why don’t you say anything? Are you feeling guilty?" Liu Yongqiang, seeing Zhao Xuan silent, felt even more justified and grew aggressive.
