Chapter 1352 Severe Inner Pain

Qiao Nan talked about suing each other. She seemed to be talking in circles, causing the other party to break out in cold sweat.

“Is there no chance of reconciliation and we can’t live harmoniously in the future?” The male student from the journalism faculty took a deep breath. He was debating with himself and there was a distorted look on his face. No one had really driven him into a corner before. This was purely his conjecture. What if it ended up that Qiao Nan was merely bluffing him?

Since he could not entice her with benefits, he turned to threatening her.

Qiao Nan could tell that the other party was not sincere. She did not back down either. “No.”

“Qiao Nan, we are schoolmates. There is no need for things to be so ugly or making things look bad for us. This is why I talk to you nicely and try to settle this harmoniously. You should know what’s best for you. Don’t force me to say harsh words.” Women were pretentious. They had been schoolmates for three years. He could not tell that Qiao Nan had a strong backing.

If so, Lü Yan could no longer stay in Peking University. Lü Yan should have been kicked out of Peking University more than two years ago when she was still in her first year. There should not have been a place for her in the capital.

Qiao Nan knocked on the tabletop with her fingers. “You are wrong. It is not that you are stopping yourself from saying harsh words. Perhaps I have been too nice to all of you. Alright, you will receive the court summons very soon. You can leave any harsh words until then.”

They only had a short conversation, but many people who heard of the incident yesterday were staring at them. Qiao Nan stood up to leave while the male student turned red in anger, but he did not dare to reach out his hands to stop Qiao Nan from leaving.

He watched helplessly as Qiao Nan got onto the car and left. A thought struck him and he took down the car plate number.

His father went to a lot of effort to do a check on Qiao Nan’s background last night, but he could not find any information on her. He believed that with the car plate number, he should be able to find out more about her.

“Are you alright?” Although the parties concerned had left, the crowd who was watching by the side had yet to disperse. Yu Xiaoxiao walked to stand next to Lü Yan, giving her a light pat. “You don’t look too well. If you are uncomfortable, shall I accompany you to the sickbay?” It was s.h.i.+ning brightly outside, but Lü Yan was breaking out in cold sweats and she kept s.h.i.+vering as if it was winter. One could not help but feel sorry for her.

Yu Xiaoxiao was at a loss. Lü Yan should know very well when she was in her first year that Qiao Nan was not to be trifled with.

They had been cla.s.smates for nearly three years. Although Qiao Nan was not approachable, she was a down-to-earth and good person. If one did not provoke Qiao Nan, she would not be so petty-minded as to leave one in the lurch when one was in trouble.

At least for the first and second-year juniors, they had a good impression of Qiao Nan.

She could not understand why Lü Yan was so stubborn. She had made a huge mistake in the first year when she tried to make trouble for Qiao Nan and she was still recovering from it. Why would she be so fearless to create trouble for her again, making life difficult for herself?

“What a hypocrite. You are the only one in our dormitory who benefited from being with Qiao Nan. Look at Tang Jiayun and me. We have been unlucky all these years. You must be laughing at us secretly. You must be elated to see me in such a state today.” Lü Yan refused to admit her weakness. Although she hoped that someone would stand on her side, console her, listen to her woes, and put in a good word for her in front of Qiao Nan, she refused to admit it.

She was reminded that Yu Xiaoxiao was in a different situation from her, and she could not stop herself from saying harsh words to her. “After you did well in your non-academic performance, you keep getting scholars.h.i.+ps every year. It is a pity that no matter how many scholars.h.i.+ps you have, you are not as good as Qiao Nan. Everyone is speculating that the school intended to sponsor Qiao Nan for overseas studies, but Qiao Nan rejected the offer. You sucked up to Qiao Nan shamelessly, but in the end, you did not fare much better than Tang Jiayun and me!”

Yu Xiaoxiao was exasperated. “Fine, take it that I didn’t say anything.”

Yu Xiaoxiao was about to walk away. She was a fool for trying to be nice to Lü Yan. She had yet to make a move when Lü Yan grabbed her arm. “Compared to Tang Jiayun and me, you have a better relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan. After all, we have been roommates for three years. Can you do me a favor? I know that I am in the wrong. I-I will not make trouble for Qiao Nan in the future even if someone forces me to. Can you tell Qiao Nan to let me off this time?”

She was taught a harsh lesson for what she did last time.

Initially, she had indeed learned her mistake, but then…

“Qiao Nan is not close to anyone. Apart from Xu Shengnan, she treats you fairly well and has given you a lot of help. I don’t dare to appear in front of her. Just this once, can you help me? A-actually, someone hinted to me to make trouble for Qiao Nan yesterday. Without that person’s reminder, I would not know what Qiao Nan applied on her face. I have been avoiding Qiao Nan for the past three years. I can tell Qiao Nan who the person is. I will steer clear of her in the future. Please give me one more chance.”

Yu Xiaoxiao could not be bothered with Lü Yan, but she hesitated slightly after listening to Lü Yan’s words. “Are you saying that someone schemed against you and wanted to do you in?”

There were tears in Lü Yan’s eyes. She sniffed and shook her head pitifully. “The person’s aim is not to do me in. I feel that the person was out to deal with Qiao Nan. When someone confessed his love to Qiao Nan the previous time, I saw the student from the journalism faculty hiding in a corner and taking multiple shots of Qiao Nan. I did not read too much into it. Yesterday, it was only when Qiao Nan asked the senior to catch the male student did I realize that someone made use of me.”

It was fine if she offended Qiao Nan because she wanted to make life difficult for her. But she was set up by other people this time. Someone made use of her. She felt wronged.

Lü Yan could not stop herself from crying. “I only want to study hard at Peking University. I have been leading a simple life in my nine years of compulsory education and three years of high school. I never expected that so many things would happen at Peking University, and that I would be at loggerheads with Qiao Nan. It was as if I killed her dad.”

Lü Yan was close to saying that she had had enough of the city and wanted to go back to the countryside.

“Alright, stop crying.” Yu Xiaoxiao felt severe inner pain. “You felt wronged, so did Qiao Nan. You created trouble for her while she did not even provoke anyone. Besides, I am not close to Qiao Nan at all. We are unlike what you think.”
