She never had me in her heart

He thought for a moment, feeling he had to shake off this blame; otherwise, offending the Jiang family would lead to his father chasing him down.

Zhang Ye organized his thoughts for a moment before calling Jiang Yueyi again.

“Jiang Zong, I suddenly remembered something. I think Jiang Xizhi’s strange behavior today might be related to that matter.”

“What matter?” Jiang Yueyi asked coldly.

“Jiang Xizhi has been getting close to Zhou Yining lately. Zhou Yining was subjected to school bullying. Jiang Xizhi probably only found out about this morning.

Anyway, after she found out about this, her emotions seemed off. It really wasn’t me who provoked her.”

Zhang Ye defended himself again.

“I’ll ask Zhizhi about it later,” Jiang Yueyi said, hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile, Liang Jing also hurried back from the company.

Jiang Shengde was still attending a conference overseas and couldn’t return, but he had called Jiang Yueyi, telling her to be sure to coax Jiang Xizhi.

As soon as Liang Jing entered the villa’s gate, she hurried upstairs.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Yueyi shook her head.

“I’ll go in and ask again. She should have calmed down a bit by now.”

“I’ll go in with you,” Liang Jing said quickly.

Jiang Yueyi tiptoed and pushed open the door, seeing that her sister was still buried in the covers, but there was no sound, so she seemed to have stopped crying.

Jiang Yueyi and Liang Jing exchanged a glance before carefully speaking.

“Zhizhi, are you feeling better? Don’t keep anything bottled up. Talk to us. What exactly happened?”

Jiang Xizhi was also tired from crying.

She had been lying there for a while, and her spirits had recovered quite a bit.

Hearing her sister’s voice, Jiang Xizhi reluctantly turned over and sat up.

Seeing her daughter’s red eyes, Liang Jing was also very worried, asking,

“Yes, what’s wrong? Tell us. If anyone dares to bully you, your sister and I will definitely not let them off.”

Jiang Xizhi twisted her hands together, hesitating for a long time before deciding that keeping it to herself would only make her angrier.

“Zhou Yining was bullied at school. She and a few girls were changing in the locker room when someone secretly filmed them.” Jiang Xizhi said.

Liang Jing glanced at her daughter, saying,

“Does she want you to help? Does she need a lawyer, or do we need to help call the police and find connections in the police station?

We can do that; it’s not difficult for our family. Why are you crying?”

Jiang Xizhi knew that it wasn’t difficult for her family, but the problem was that Zhou Yining hadn’t asked her for help, which was what broke her down the most!

Thinking that way, Jiang Xizhi’s eyes filled with tears again, threatening to fall.

“Yes, Zhizhi, if you want to help her, just tell me, and I can arrange it. Don’t cry,” Jiang Yueyi said, also puzzled.

It was a simple matter for their family, so why was her sister crying like this?

Jiang Xizhi sniffled, sobbing, “No, that’s not the point. The point is, she didn’t ask me for help.

She asked Zhong Yumeng for help and didn’t tell me about it at all. I only found out this morning when people in class mentioned it. She doesn’t consider me a friend at all.

She didn’t tell me about such a big thing. She must trust Zhong Yumeng more, so she asks Zhong Yumeng for help with everything.”

Saying that, Jiang Xizhi’s tears fell again.

Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi exchanged glances.

What? Is it wrong for her not to ask you for help?

Liang Jing cleared her throat, advising, “She probably just didn’t want you to worry.

Besides, you know Zhong Yumeng’s family situation. There’s nothing wrong with Zhou Yining asking her for help.

Handling this kind of thing is something the Zhong family can easily do.”

“Yes, so the problem of your friend is solved, isn’t that good?” Jiang Yueyi didn’t understand what was making her sister break down.

“That’s not the same. I’m not the first person she thinks of when she encounters difficulties. She doesn’t have me in her heart,” Jiang Xizhi said, crying again with grievance.

Liang Jing found it increasingly strange.

Was her daughter so jealous of her friend? This was making Zhou Yining seem like a scumbag who had abandoned her daughter.

“No, she probably has her own plans. This isn’t a big deal. It’s good that the bad guys are brought to justice. Stop crying. Today is your birthday,” Liang Jing quickly advised.

“Yes, Zhizhi, your friend’s problem is solved; you should be happy. Stop crying.

By the way, you’re having a birthday party tomorrow. How about we invite Zhou Yining to celebrate your birthday with you?”

Jiang Yueyi advised.

“I don’t want her to come. She won’t think of me anyway. Let her go hang out with Zhong Yumeng,” Jiang Xizhi said, burying herself in the covers again, feeling broken down again.

Liang Jing and Jiang Yueyi exchanged a glance before silently leaving Jiang Xizhi’s room.

After walking away, they started talking.

“This doesn’t seem like a big deal, does it? Your sister is crying so hard,” Liang Jing said, puzzled.

“I think she seems a little jealous. She’s blaming Zhou Yining for going to another girl for help instead of her.”

Jiang Yueyi also found it strange.

Liang Jing nodded in agreement, making excuses for her daughter.

“Maybe Zhou Yining is very important to Zhizhi, so Zhizhi cares about her a lot. In this situation, should we ask…”

Jiang Yueyi shook her head.

“It’s better not to, Mom. Let them solve it themselves. I’m afraid we’ll make things worse if we get involved. I feel relieved now that I know why Zhizhi is crying.”

Liang Jing nodded, thinking she shouldn’t interfere too much with her daughter’s friendships.

She and her girlfriends often got angry at each other, but they were fine after a while and remained good friends.

“That’s fine. Let her be alone for a while to process things. By the way, call the police station again to give them a heads-up.

I see Zhizhi cares about this friend of hers a lot. We should help if we can, even if they haven’t asked us.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it later. Don’t worry, Mom,” Jiang Yueyi said.

“Well, I have a few more meetings. I’ll go back to the company. You shouldn’t go to the company today. Stay home and be with your sister,” Liang Jing said, still worried about her younger daughter.

“Okay, I’ll have the secretary schedule my work. Don’t worry, Mom.”

In her room, Jiang Xizhi was also tired from crying.

She lay on the bed for a while to recover before taking her pajamas and going to take a shower.

In her current state, she didn’t want to go to school in the afternoon, so she might as well rest at home.

Before Jiang Xizhi went to take a shower, she had the maids change her bedding.

She had gotten into bed without changing her pajamas.

After she came out of the shower, her emotions had stabilized a lot, but she felt a bit sleepy again.

Jiang Xizhi slept until two o’clock in the afternoon, with many wealthy heirs sending her birthday wishes in between.

Jiang Xizhi didn’t want to deal with Zhou Yining, but her eyes still fell on the Zhou Yining conversation box.

She clicked on the message; the messages Zhou Yining had sent her were still from the morning.

Jiang Xizhi pressed her lips together tightly.

Why wasn’t she coaxing her anymore? She hadn’t sent her any more messages.

That’s right, she had been bullied at school.

She must have suffered a lot.

She was still throwing a tantrum.

Would she be angry with her?

Jiang Xizhi quickly shook her head.

No, Zhou Yining hadn’t coaxed her yet.

If she kept thinking like this, she would calm herself down.

She needed Zhou Yining to coax her!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t pay attention to Zhou Yining.

Jiang Xizhi rolled around on the bed a few times, remembering that she seemed to have forgotten something important.

When she saw Zhou Yining this morning, she seemed to say that she had prepared a birthday gift for her, but she had pushed it away.

Of course, she had also told her to give the gift to Zhong Yumeng out of spite.

Jiang Xizhi rubbed her face hard, wondering if she was crazy.

How could she let Zhou Yining give the gift to someone else?

Also, would Zhou Yining really give her gift to Zhong Yumeng in a fit of pique?

Thinking this way, Jiang Xizhi fell onto the covers listlessly, feeling a little broken down again.

No matter what the gift was, she would definitely like it as long as it was from her.

Jiang Xizhi now regretted it very much, knowing that she should have taken the gift.

She buried her face in the covers, sighing deeply, and then her stomach growled.

Jiang Xizhi got up from the bed and walked downstairs.

Jiang Yueyi was sitting in the living room.

Seeing her sister come down, she quickly got up and asked, “How are you? Are you feeling better?”

Jiang Xizhi nodded to her.

“I’m hungry. I’m going to eat something.”

“Okay, I’ll keep you company.” Jiang Yueyi hadn’t eaten much just now, so she would accompany her sister to eat some more.

“Zhizhi, I contacted the police station again. Don’t worry; those boys in Zhou Yining’s case won’t be able to escape.

Zhou Yining is very smart and has prepared very sufficient evidence. They can’t turn the tables,” Jiang Yueyi said.

“Mmm,” Jiang Xizhi nodded, listlessly waiting for her meal.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yining was still attending school, but she was still thinking about Jiang Xizhi.

Zhou Yining looked at her phone.

She had sent Jiang Xizhi more than a dozen WeChat messages in the morning, but no one had replied.

Zhou Yining didn’t dare to send any more.

She was afraid of making Jiang Xizhi even unhappier.

After the first class, Zhou Yining went to Class 1.

She grabbed a girl who had just come out of the classroom.

“Hello, please help me call Jiang Xizhi.”

“Jiang Xizhi was picked up by her family this morning.”

“What happened? Is she not feeling well?” Zhou Yining asked.

“I’m not too sure, but she seemed to be crying this morning, and then her sister picked her up.”

“Okay, thank you.” Zhou Yining thanked the girl.

She was about to go back to class when Zhang Ye, who had just come out, stopped her.

“Zhou Yining, wait.”

Zhou Yining turned around, and upon seeing Zhang Ye, she frowned.

“What’s the matter?”

Zhang Ye nodded, taking two steps forward and whispering, “What did you do to provoke Jiang Xizhi?

Her sister called me this morning, insisting that I made her cry. I’m telling you, I’m not taking the blame.

She was upset after people in class talked about you being subjected to school bullying. As a result, I got blamed.”

“Oh, is that it?” Zhou Yining didn’t really want to pay attention to him, but she still asked, “How is Zhizhi?”

“I don’t know. How would I dare to chat with her sister? How about I give you her sister’s phone number so you can ask yourself?” Zhang Ye wasn’t that kind.

He just wanted Zhou Yining to draw away the fire.

Zhou Yining shook her head.

It wasn’t polite to ask someone for another person’s contact information, especially if that person was Jiang Xizhi’s sister.

“No need.” After speaking, Zhou Yining left straight away.
