Chapter 208: A Hypocritical Mask

No matter how scheming a child was at this age, she was still a child after all. How could she not like to go out and play?

Jian Yiyi smiled when she heard that she was going on a trip.

“I want to go abroad. Both Australia and Europe are fine!” Jian Yiyi smiled.

“Okay.” Qiao Shuyi smiled and said to Jian Changsheng, “Husband, if you have time, let’s go together?”

Jian Changsheng was about to refuse when Jian Yiyi leaned forward and said, “Dad, come with us! We haven’t gone out to play for a long time. Brother will be happy if he knows this as well!”

Looking at his daughter’s face, he thought to himself that it had indeed been a long time since he last accompanied his wife. It was a good thing that the company was not busy during this period and that the two children were on holiday. If they missed this opportunity, who knew how long they would have to wait for the next time they went out together?

Jian Changsheng’s heart softened, so he nodded. “Okay, Dad will go with you. We’ll go out together as a family.”

“Dad is the best!” Jian Yiyi was delighted. She forgot about her displeasure in school.

…

The next morning, as soon as Jian Yiyi entered the school building, a voice called her.

Turning around, she saw Jian Ai leaning against the window on the side of the corridor, looking at her calmly.

Jian Yiyi was stunned but she didn’t show much emotion on her face. As usual, she looked friendly. “Jian Ai, you called me?”

Jian Ai nodded slightly. “Can I talk to you alone?”

There were many students around them, so they instinctively looked at Jian Yiyi a few more times. After all, she was a popular figure in school. Under everyone’s gaze, Jian Yiyi couldn’t refuse, but when she looked at Jian Ai’s expressionless face, she knew that Jian Ai was here for Lin Yi.

Although she didn’t reject her, she didn’t nod. Instead, she asked, “What is it?”

She ignored the meaning of Jian Ai’s words.

Jian Ai sneered in her heart but smiled gently on the surface. “Let’s talk in the lecture theater!”

As soon as she finished speaking, not caring if Jian Yiyi was willing or not, Jian Ai grabbed Jian Yiyi’s wrist and walked towards the lecture theatre at the end of the corridor.

Jian Yiyi felt a little uneasy. Just as she was about to pretend to cry softly, Jian Ai’s cold voice sounded in her ears. “I’m the lowest ranking person in Erzhong. If anyone wants to put on an act, it should be me!”

Jian Yiyi: “…”

This was why Lin Yi was at a disadvantage. Most people would believe Jian Yiyi’s pitiful act in front of him.

But to act pitiful in front of Jian Ai? Who in the entire school was more pitiful than Jian Ai?

In a daze, Jian Ai had already brought Jian Yiyi to the lecture theatre at the end of the corridor and closed the door.

Jian Yiyi rubbed her painful wrist. A trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes.

When she looked up, her expression was weak again.

“Jian Ai, you’re hurting me.”

Hah…

Jian Ai sneered in her heart. She thought to herself,

‘How professional. She’s still acting?’

“There’s no one else here. You don’t have to work so hard,” Jian Ai said calmly. She raised her eyebrows at Jian Yiyi and went straight to the point. “We’re all classmates. There’s no need to do this.”

Jian Yiyi snorted in her heart. Indeed, she was here for Lin Yi.

Seeing the ridicule in Jian Ai’s eyes, no matter how good Jian Yiyi’s acting was, she couldn’t continue to pretend even if someone saw through her. Otherwise, wouldn’t she become a clown?

Jian Yiyi tore off her hypocritical mask and her smile disappeared. She looked cold.

“What are you trying to say?”

As soon as she spoke, her tone changed.
