Chapter 1767: Chapter 1703: Know Nothing
The rumors flying around school turned out to be true.
Xie Landi didnât know what to do.
This matter was too shocking for her. On one hand, she wanted to persuade Ye Wanqing, thinking that doing such a thing was truly degrading and that it was not too late to pull back. But on the other hand, she was worried that if Ye Wanqing found out about what she had just witnessed, she might become angry out of shame.
The last time she mentioned the clothes that Deng Qingjiang had given them, Ye Wanqing slapped her and then distanced herself, not even willing to speak to her in the dorm.
Moreover, she heard that Ye Wanqing was recently applying to change dorms. It seemed that she didnât want to get along with the people in the dorm anymore.
Thinking about all this, Xie Landi was very hesitant.
Maybe she should pretend not to know about it?
But then she thought of Chiang Xiao. Should she tell Chiang Xiao about this?
She wasnât clear about the relationship between Chiang Xiao and Deng Qingjiang, but judging from what Chiang Xiao said last time, it didnât seem to be good. Chiang Xiao and Ye Wanqing didnât get along either, so them being together shouldnât have anything to do with Chiang Xiao, right?
Xie Landi returned to the dorm somewhat dazed after work.
Only Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili were in the dorm.
Their dorm was really poisonous. Originally, there were six people staying there, but now Lee Mei had dropped out, Chiang Xiao hardly ever stayed, and now Ye Wanqing was preparing to move out, leaving only the three of them.
Xie Landi felt quite lost.
The semester was almost over, and she didnât seem to have made any friends at school.
The incident of Ye Wanqing slapping her had spread, and although she was the one slapped, the rumors didnât sound nice either, saying she was like a fool. Before, when Ye Wanqing had a sprained ankle, she had helped her with everything and stayed by her side every day, yet when Ye Wanqing slapped her, she didnât fight back. She looked like a fool.
People also said, folks from the countryside have bad brains.
They said it wasnât kindness, just stupidity.
Who would want to be friends with a fool?
Oh, actually, there were a few who did; they just wanted her to help line up, get food, wash their socks, and such.
If Xie Landi helped, maybe she would have a few friends, but she needed to go out to work, where was the time?
It was because she didnât help, that she didnât have friends like that either.
âXie Landi, why do you smell like alcohol?â Qin Xiaojun suddenly asked her, âYou didnât go drinking, did you?â
âNo, no, why would I go drinking?â Xie Landi quickly waved her hands, denying it.
Qin Xiaojun walked up to her and sniffed but wasnât convinced, âBut you really do smell strongly of alcohol.â
âI really didnât drink!â Xie Landi was afraid they would think she was a bad student and became a bit anxious. âI just helped out at a tavern!â
âYou worked at a tavern?â
Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili exchanged a glance and were about to ask more when the partly ajar door was gently pushed open.
The three of them looked over in surprise to see Chiang Xiao, who hadnât appeared in the dorm for a long time. All three were momentarily stunned.
âChiang Xiao, why are you back?â Qin Xiaojun asked in surprise.
Chiang Xiao glanced around the dorm, noticing that Ye Wanqingâs bed was neatly made, suggesting she wasnât there.
âI came back to ask you guys something.â
She had come for the painting that Ye Wanqing submitted.
Wang Yi would investigate that, but she wanted to come back and ask her dorm mates and classmates as well.
âWhat is it?â
âI donât know anythingâŠâ Xie Landi suddenly waved her hands nervously and instinctively took a step back.
