She rubbed her eyes and was about to make up an excuse.

Then, unexpectedly, a hand snatched her phone.

“Give it to me!” Luo Mengmeng was breathing heavily.

Jin Tao stared at the words ‘Yangyang’ on the screen, his eyes filled with interest. Then, he said to Luo Mengmeng, “Reply to her that you’re my girlfriend now and you’re with me.”

Luo Mengmeng’s shoulders trembled as her voice cracked. “There was no such condition before.”

“Huh? Your brother’s surgery hasn’t been done yet. The decision is in my hands.” Jin Tao smiled like a scoundrel. “Even if you don’t want to, it’s fine. Anyway, I have plenty of evidence. At most, I’ll post it on the forum and let your friends know about it. Wouldn’t that be more exciting?”

Luo Mengmeng’s eyes drooped. “I’ll send it.”

She took the phone. Her fingers seemed to be shaking uncontrollably. It was difficult for her to type those words.

Jin Tao took another look and confirmed it before sending it out.

Sheng Yang was in the afternoon class, but she was absent-minded.

She usually didn’t pay much attention to her phone, but at this moment, her phone rang. She took it out quickly. Usually, she wouldn’t be so proactive even when replying to Yi Juncheng’s messages.

Something flickered in her eyes as she read the message. She stood up abruptly.

“Hey, Sheng Yang!” The teacher looked at Sheng Yang suspiciously. Although she was the pillar of their profession, he couldn’t let her disrupt the class’ discipline, so he was very conflicted. He was clearly reprimanding her, but he said it with a smiling face and in an extremely kind tone.

“I’m taking leave.” Sheng Yang said, leaving behind the sight of her cool and valiant figure.

Jin Tao held Luo Mengmeng’s phone and was waiting for Sheng Yang’s call. After Luo Mengmeng sent that message, he believed that she wouldn’t be indifferent.

However, there was no text, no call, and not a single reply.

It made his originally provocative words useless.

Jin Tao was confused. Could it be that Sheng Yang was even more unreasonable than the rumors made her out to be? Or was Luo Mengmeng not her friend at all?

No…

He rubbed his chin and thought about it. The latter probably wasn’t the case. In this school, he had only seen Sheng Yang getting close to Luo Mengmeng. Luo Mengmeng was probably her only friend.

‘Then it could well be the former.’

He smiled at Luo Mengmeng. “I’m afraid she doesn’t care about you at all. She doesn’t care what happens to you. All she thinks about is her grades, credits, and personal achievements. Sheng Yang is a heartless woman.”

Luo Mengmeng lowered her head. “I’d rather she didn’t come. This is my own business. Why involve her?”

“Heh, is that so?” Jin Tao smiled without saying anything. How could one put others above themselves?

However, he originally had no interest in such an ordinary and unattractive girl. In the end, because of her words, he found her interesting.

Luo Mengmeng was stubborn. He was looking forward to seeing the moment when her pretense of strength was broken.

“Young Master, we’ve arrived at the hotel.”

“Okay.” Jin Tao got out of the car first and looked at Luo Mengmeng, who was still motionless. “Why? Do you still want me to open the car door for you? We’re just bed partners.”

Luo Mengmeng gripped her dress tightly. “Operate on my cousin first.”

“Don’t worry.” Jin Tao snapped his fingers and revealed an annoying smile.

At this moment, Luo Mengmeng received a message from her uncle and aunt. [Mengmeng, thank you. Your cousin is already preparing for the surgery. We really shouldn’t have said those words before. You’re a good child who knows how to be grateful.]

A hot teardrop fell onto the back of her hand. It wasn’t because of their words but because her cousin was saved.
