She never had me in her heart

Zhang Ye called her several times from behind, but she ignored him.

Zhang Ye scratched his hair, not knowing what had happened to his family’s business.

Zhou Yining’s mood was still not good after returning.

She persevered until lunchtime before calling Tian Xue to go to the cafeteria.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat first,” Zhou Yining said listlessly.

Seeing her listless, Tian Xue assumed it was because of the Lin Shaohui issue.

“Are you okay? Why do you look so listless?”

Zhou Yining shook her head.

“I’m fine.”

“By the way, did you call the police to arrest Lin Shaohui and the others?” Tian Xue asked again.

At lunchtime, Zhou Yining wasn’t in a good mood, so Tian Xue didn’t ask anything.

That’s why she had been holding it in until now.

Zhou Yining glanced at her.

“Yes, I’ve said it before, I will make those who have harmed me pay the price.”

Tian Xue pursed her lips and asked, “What about the person who spread your situation on the confession wall? Have you found them?”

Zhou Yining shook her head.

“I don’t have any leads yet. Let’s put it aside for now. I have too many troubles recently. Let’s solve the Lin Shaohui issue before considering the others.”

Tian Xue nodded.

“Indeed, it’s great that Lin Shaohui and the others can pay the price.”

The two went to the cafeteria while talking.

Zhou Yining had no appetite, so she simply bought mala tang to eat.

She thought mala tang could stimulate her taste buds and allow her to eat more.

However, with worries in her mind, she ate the mala tang without tasting any flavor.

After she and Tian Xue left the cafeteria and hadn’t reached the teaching building, Zhou Yining and Tian Xue were stopped by three other girls.

Zhou Yining glanced at them, seeing that they were Li Yuting and the others, and asked, “Are you looking for me?”

Li Yuting nodded with an unfriendly expression.

Zhou Yining didn’t know what they wanted to say, but she still said to Tian Xue beside her, “You go back first. I’ll say a few words to them and then go back.”

Seeing that there were many people on the other side, Tian Xue didn’t move.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay? Otherwise, I’ll stay with you.”

Zhou Yining shook her head.

“This has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to get involved. Besides, nothing will happen. You go.”

“Okay, call me anytime.” Tian Xue made a gesture of calling her to Zhou Yining, and Zhou Yining nodded to her.

“Let’s go, let’s find a place to talk.” Li Yuting said, looking at Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining wasn’t afraid of them and nodded, following them.

The group soon went to the back playground, which was the basketball court.

It was getting dark, and there weren’t many people around the basketball court.

After Zhou Yining stopped, she waited for the others to find her to do something.

Shi Qian couldn’t bear it first.

She directly questioned angrily, “Zhou Yining, do you know how much of an impact it has on us to call the police?

Why didn’t you discuss it with us before calling the police?”

Zhou Yining looked at her lightly.

“Why can’t I call the police when I have been hurt? Besides, I called the police in my own name.

I haven’t mentioned your names from beginning to end. People at school shouldn’t know that you were also secretly filmed, right?

So, I’m not afraid. What are you afraid of?”

“Nonsense. The police said that Lin Shaohui and the others confessed and mentioned us.

They even called our parents over. Do you know what that means?” Shi Qian’s face was flushed with anger.

“What can it mean? Normal parents will definitely choose to use legal means to bring those perpetrators to justice when they know their children have encountered such a thing, and they will unconditionally stand by their children.

If your parents think you have lost their face because of this, I can only say that such parents are really difficult to assess. Is face more important than anything else?”

Shi Qian was speechless, but her chest was still rising and falling with anger.

Li Yuting reached out and pulled Shi Qian, saying, “Zhou Yining, we really don’t have any other intentions.

You are indeed braver than us, but… but I’m only 17 years old, and I have a long way to go. I don’t want to hear gossip from others.”

“I won’t tell others about this. The school will definitely not talk about it in order to protect privacy, so you don’t need to worry too much,” Zhou Yining said.

The version that students were spreading was that she was being bullied, and the names of Li Yuting and others were not spread.

“Okay, thank you,” Li Yuting thanked.

Shi Qian was anxious.

“Why are you thanking her? If she hadn’t called the police, my parents wouldn’t have known about this. What will my parents think of me?”

“No matter what your parents think of you, that’s your own private matter. I can’t give up protecting my rights because of this.

What Lin Shaohui and the others did should be punished with prison,” Zhou Yining replied calmly.

“Yes, you’re noble, you’re great, and you’re not afraid of gossip. I’m afraid. I’m a coward, okay?” Shi Qian seemed to collapse, crying loudly.

Li Yuting and Tan Yue next to her quickly crouched down to comfort Shi Qian.

Zhou Yining didn’t go over.

She sighed, turned around, and left the back playground.

Zhou Yining could really understand.

After all, not all parents were normal people.

There were also parents like Zhou Yuanfei, who would only blame their children.

Perhaps Shi Qian’s parents were also this kind of person, but that didn’t mean that Zhou Yining would compromise.

Lin Shaohui and those beasts should pay the price for what they did.

Zhou Yining didn’t take the matter just now to heart.

She didn’t blame Shi Qian for taking her anger out on her.

Time would prove everything.

Jiang Xizhi continued to rest in her room after lunch.

Perhaps the high school life was too tiring, or maybe she had cried too much today.

In short, Jiang Xizhi slept soundly and didn’t wake up until six o’clock in the afternoon.

When she went downstairs, Liang Jing had already returned and was talking to Jiang Yueyi in the living room.

Seeing her daughter come down, Liang Jing quickly said, “Zhizhi, come over and sit. I’m not busy today, let’s have dinner together later.

By the way, I’ve prepared the dress for your birthday party tomorrow, and the invitations have all been sent out.

Are you sure you don’t want to invite Zhou Yining?”

Jiang Xizhi pressed her lips together tightly, lowering her eyes and saying, “Don’t invite her.”

She didn’t care about her anyway, so she would ignore her.

Jiang Xizhi thought that Zhou Yining hadn’t sent her any WeChat messages, feeling even angrier.

“Okay, okay, if you don’t want to invite her, then we won’t invite her. Then it’ll be the people on the list,” Liang Jing quickly reassured.

“Mmm,” Jiang Xizhi responded, feeling down again.

Jiang Xizhi didn’t have much appetite for dinner.

She only drank a bowl of fresh fish ball soup before returning to her room.

Because she had slept all day, Jiang Xizhi wasn’t very sleepy, so she had to lie in bed and play with her phone.

While playing, she opened WeChat again, her eyes falling on the Zhou Yining conversation box, which didn’t have a new red dot.

Jiang Xizhi sighed, burying her face in the covers.

She felt a little wronged.

How could Zhou Yining coax people like this? When she saw that she was ignoring her, she stopped coaxing her?

Thinking this way, Jiang Xizhi angrily closed WeChat.

She randomly found a TV show to watch, but she didn’t remember any of the content.

She was just staring at the TV, spacing out.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yining had finally waited until 9:30 p.m. to be dismissed from school.

After returning home, she took a shower, washed her clothes, and cleaned up, it was almost 11 p.m.

Originally, she was going to attend Jiang Xizhi’s birthday party, but now Jiang Xizhi was angry with her, and Zhou Yining was afraid that if she went, she would only make things worse.

After thinking about it, she lay on her small bed and sent Jiang Xizhi a WeChat message.

Zhou Yining: [Zhizhi, has your anger subsided? (Dog kneeling jpg)]

Zhou Yining: [I was wrong, okay? Can I go to your birthday party tomorrow? I haven’t given you my gift yet.]

Zhou Yining: [Zhizhi, Zhizhi~]

Zhou Yining: (Dog rubbing jpg)

She sent several messages in a row, but Jiang Xizhi didn’t respond.

Zhou Yining sighed, it seemed that the little fox was still angry with her.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xizhi had been waiting for Zhou Yining’s messages.

Jiang Xizhi saw the popped-up conversation box and immediately clicked on it.

Seeing that Zhou Yining was apologizing to her again, Jiang Xizhi’s face softened a little.

She thought for a moment and started typing a reply.

Jiang Xizhi: [You can’t come.]

After sending the message, Jiang Xizhi regretted it a bit.

Was she really not letting Zhou Yining come to her birthday party?

But thinking that Zhou Yining was so close to Zhong Yumeng, she pressed her lips together tightly again.

She hadn’t calmed down yet, so of course she couldn’t let Zhou Yining come.

Jiang Xizhi rolled around on the bed a few times, hugging her phone and humming, feeling both sour and tangled in her heart, and angry that Zhou Yining didn’t put her first.

In short, she felt mixed emotions and couldn’t lie down comfortably no matter what.

During that time, she casually replied to other people’s birthday wishes, seeing that Zhong Yumeng had also sent her a message of blessings, Jiang Xizhi felt a pang of jealousy for no reason.

She clicked on Zhong Yumeng’s conversation box and replied to Zhong Yumeng.

Jiang Xizhi: [Thank you, remember to come tomorrow afternoon.]

Zhong Yumeng quickly replied to her.

Zhong Yumeng: [Okay, I won’t forget. I’ve prepared my dress.]

Jiang Xizhi: [That’s good, by the way, are you and Zhou Yining very familiar?]

Zhong Yumeng: [Okay, pretty familiar, she tutors me in math every Sunday afternoon, and we usually chat.]

Seeing this reply, Jiang Xizhi tightly pursed her lips.

Zhou Yining seemed to have mentioned this morning that she was tutoring Zhong Yumeng, saying that it was a way to repay Zhong Yumeng for helping her.

But even knowing this, Jiang Xizhi still felt sour, especially with the last sentence that Zhou Yining usually chatted with Zhong Yumeng.

How could they not be familiar with each other?

She and Zhong Yumeng were no different to her.

Perhaps Zhou Yining also spoke to Zhong Yumeng gently.

Thinking that way, Jiang Xizhi became even angrier.

She directly turned off her phone, not wanting to reply to Zhong Yumeng’s message.
