187 187 Why Should I?

Tan Rou pulled onto Wei Ling, who was weeping and walked away from the crowd.

The students at the entrance were still unwilling to leave. Wei Lings tragic state just now had given everyone a shock. Initially, they just wanted to watch her as if she was a clown now that the school had expelled her. Her family could spend money on her student register in another school.

Although being expelled from this school meant that there would be an additional strain on her resume, and no good school would be willing to take him in, there was still hope for her to go to an ordinary school. Wei Ling came from a good family, and it wouldnt be difficult for her to attend another school.

However, they didnt expect Wei Ling to end up in such a miserable state. She was going to be sent abroad and left to live on her own. What exactly happened to the Wei family?

Although Wei Ling had always been Tan Jings little follower, she was more arrogant and thought she was one level higher than the others.

She was a typical sn.o.b who judged others. Therefore, there were a lot of students who didnt like her. Now that they saw how miserable she looked, they had no idea if they should be happy or sad. However, no matter what, Wei Ling was done for this time.

Tan Rou didnt take Wei Ling too far away. Wei Ling was emotional and didnt seem to have rested well. Her legs were sore and weak as she walked as if she had lost his soul.

Tan Rou found a milk tea shop near the school. There werent many people inside, and it looked quiet. Seeing Wei Lings appearance, she couldnt say anything. Tan Rou didnt ask much and brought Wei Ling in, picking a seat by the corner.

As soon as she sat on the chair, Wei Ling began to cry. Her tears rolled down her face as if they had been set free. Her back was bent into a pitiful arc, and she trembled slightly.

Tan Rou looked at Wei Ling helplessly. She sighed and advised, Stop crying. If you continue to cry like this, your body will collapse. Its too harmful to your health.

Wei Ling laughed sarcastically as she cried, I was the one that set you up, and yet you still care about me, but the person I was willing to sacrifice for doesnt even care about me anymore. Just let me cry. I dont want to live anymore. Ill cry to death!

Tan Rou didnt think Wei Ling would give up on herself like this. This was different from the arrogant and slightly clever girl that Tan Rou knew.

Hearing Wei Lings words, Tan Rou, asked curiously, You have such deep feelings for Tan Jing? Youre willing to give up everything to help her?

Wei Ling gave Tan Rou a strange look. Tan Jing? Hmph! Who does she think she is? Just because shes the newly found daughter of the Tan family, which they doted on, she pretends to be high and mighty daily. Im just cooperating with her to flatter her. I wont lose anything by saying good things and smiling obsequiously, so why not? Flattery is flattery, but who would be sincere? Only a fool would be willing to help her!

Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. She didnt expect a lackey like Wei Ling to be so clear-headed and frank. She did not hide her sn.o.bbishness and was clear on why she had tried to flatter Tan Jing.

Tan Rou felt that such a person was straightforward enough and asked with a smile, Then, why did you help her frame me? You should have known that she wouldnt care about your life.

Wei Ling also laughed. She wiped off the tears on her face and said, Thats right. Of course, I knew long ago that she wouldnt care about me, but my parents dont. Even now, they still think the Tan family cant abandon us. Whats the point of me realising it from the beginning?! If they give me the order, I still have to do it regardless of everything.

Only then did Tan Rou understand that the person that Wei Ling was referring to in regards to being willing to sacrifice everything that she had was her parents. No matter how smart and shrewd she was, she couldnt refuse her parents arrangements. Even if she knew it might be a fire pit, she had no choice but to jump into it.

In the end, Wei Ling was implicated by her parents, who clung to power.

Tan Rou sighed. Then, what do you want me to do?

Wei Ling stared at Tan Rou anxiously. Can you help me plead for mercy? Youre the victim, so the princ.i.p.al wont say anything if you can forgive me!

Tan Rou laughed. Wei Ling had indeed thought about it thoroughly and knew that only Tan Rou could solve the problem now.

Indeed, as long as she was willing to forgive her and plead with the princ.i.p.al, the princ.i.p.al would not make things difficult for Wei Ling. She would, at most, be punished and wouldnt be expelled.

But why?

Tan Rou immediately refused. Im not a saint. No matter your reason, youre the one who framed me. You want me to forgive you and plead for you? Dont you think too highly of me?

Tan Rou didnt want to beat around the bush with Wei Ling. She was willing to chat with Wei Ling because she didnt want to make a fool of herself at the school gate and affect others. It didnt mean that the two of them could easily reconcile.
