Neither Old Lin nor Xie Xiao reached out to accept the wedding invitation.
The class study committee mber, a girl with a particularly good temperant, smiled and said, "You two just arrived, why don't you have a seat..."
Zhou Mianmian also whispered, "Yan Shi, let's go sit down."
Yan Shi, however, did not move but rely kept up the gesture of offering the wedding invitation.
Gloom was written all over his face.
He suddenly let out a sneer, "Does the teacher disdain it? Well, that figures. I'm poor in studies, after all. If Xie Xiao were here today, you'd probably have taken it with a big smile, wouldn't you?"
Old Lin's face wasn't looking too good, and he finally spoke up, "It's not about your grades. You're all still too young at this age..."
Before he could finish, Yan Shi cut him off impatiently, his tone scornful, "That's enough, Lin Dong, I'm already being magnanimous by still calling you a teacher!"
His eyes flashed with venom. Back then, when Zhou Mianmian wanted to accuse him of rape, this so-called teacher didn't diate and even actively called the police.
Yan Shi would rember this for a lifeti.
What a pity for Zhou Mianmian, such an ungrateful viper, who in the end had withdrawn her own lawsuit, hadn't she?
At this mont, Xie Xiao spoke up, frowning, "If you're so reluctant, please leave. As for what you said about if it were ,"
Xie Xiao smiled, "I wouldn't be as miserable as you. After all, I have brains."
The undertone of his words was also one of disdain.
By now the private room had fallen completely silent.
Even the karaoke accompanint had been turned off.
The class monitor and several boys from the sports committee ca over.
Even the boys who used to get along well with Yan Shi joined in, pulling him back, "Either enjoy yourself properly or go ho."
One of them, with a guilty look on his face, was the one who had told Yan Shi about today's gathering, genuinely just wanting to watch the spectacle.
He hadn't expected Yan Shi to start off by confronting the teacher, and now he was afraid the situation would escalate.
Yan Shi glared at Xie Xiao with dead fury.
Why, right now the latter was looking triumphant, protected by a group of classmates, and reportedly, he also got together with Luo Yanran.
But what about himself? Left with a lifelong disability, watched by everyone with strange looks.
It made him feel like a monster.
It must be said that Yan Shi's heart was twisted at this mont. He grabbed Zhou Mianmian and said to Xie Xiao, "It's all your fault. Didn't you used to like this jinx? Why didn't you chase after her? If you had, you'd be even more miserable than now!"
Those words were sowhat malicious. Yet, Zhou Mianmian's face showed no change in expression; she had grown numb these days.
She didn't understand whether it was Yan Shi or his parents, why they still clung to her despite clearly hating her so much.
Zhou Mianmian hadn't expected Yan Shi to rember every penny he had ever spent on her so clearly, nor the fact that he usually didn't give red envelopes but transferred money instead.
When she first wanted to sue him, his mother ca to her with that notebook and the records, "If you sue my son, you will have to spit out every single penny of this money."
Zhou Mianmian had no money.
At that ti, she was very scared and ran out of the hospital. She didn't dare go ho.
Her grandmother didn't care about her. Knowing that she had a miscarriage, her grandmother looked at her with disgust and said she had no sha, and then never went to see her again.
In the end, Zhou Mianmian ended up at the entrance of Xie Xiao's family complex. She saw the aspirational young man again.
She didn't know what she was there for, maybe because she still missed the past too much.
Once upon a ti, Xie Xiao was so good to her...
But when his father ca out, Zhou Mianmian still ran away.
She didn't dare to face his parents, afraid of being seen in her sorry state...
Zhou Mianmian still compromised in the end.
She suddenly rembered that back in the neighboring city, Xie Xiao had once told her not to rely on n anymore.
Even Luo Yanran reminded her to get the room refunded...
She only hesitated for a mont before Yan Shi saw the room card...
Zhou Mianmian couldn't rember, had she struggled at all?
She really didn't rember.
She didn't even know she was pregnant...
All choices were hers to make.
But every ti she chose wrongly, so now there was no way back.
She had walked into a dead-end.
So girls, having heard Yan Shi's words, couldn't hold back, "How can you speak like that?"
"You're being too much, aren't you?"
...
Only Xie Xiao remained silent, his face expressionless.
He knew that if he spoke even a word more in defense of Zhou Mianmian, her situation would only beco more difficult.
So at this mont, he didn't even glance at Zhou Mianmian, but coldly said to Yan Shi, "What does it have to do with ? Is it not your own problem that you turned out like this? Your current attitude of blaming everyone except yourself makes you look very weak."
Lin Dong looked exhausted and said to the class president, "Let the security guard take him out, so he doesn't cause any trouble later."
A few boys who were on good terms with Yan Shi helped him up and walked him out, "Teacher, we'll escort him out."
Yan Shi struggled for a mont, then a boy said softly, "Aren't you embarrassed enough? Have you no sha?"
Yan Shi stopped resisting and just fixed a cold gaze on Lin Dong and Xie Xiao, who were being protected.
So people really do have good luck! Teachers and students like him, girls like him, why him?
Zhou Mianmian was still standing there, eyes lowered.
Yan Shi shouted viciously, "Zhou Mianmian, aren't you embarrassed enough? Why don't you leave?"
She crouched down and picked up the two wedding invitations.
Lin Dong sighed as he watched her, rembering how he had bustled about only for her to withdraw her lawsuit in the end.
Now she seed to be not doing well either.
After all, she was a student he had taught for two years.
Everything had been fine before, although her grades were average, she had been well-behaved.
Even if she was close to Xie Xiao, there was still so distance between them.
But it ended up like this.
Lin Dong said, "I've been waiting for your call."
Zhou Mianmian pulled a stiff smile on her face, "Teacher, I'm sorry, but this is my life now."
Lin Dong frowned, "You're only how old? You have a long life ahead of you!"
As a teacher, he couldn't bear it, and the sympathetic gazes of the surrounding students also fell on her.
Zhou Mianmian forced herself to stand straight, smiling as she said, "Goodbye everyone."
This ti she finally didn't look at Xie Xiao again. Life had taught her to grow up, albeit at a great cost.
As Zhou Mianmian turned to leave, she heard Xie Xiao say, "Teacher, it's okay, one can divorce after marriage, and besides, this doesn't really count as marriage..."
Her steps faltered for a mont.
She knew that this was probably the last ti Xie Xiao would remind her.
Once the results were released tomorrow, Xie Xiao would beco the eagle soaring in the sky. He would fly higher and farther.
Without her as a burden, Xie Xiao would only shine more brilliantly.
Xie Xiao watched Zhou Mianmian walk over to Yan Shi, but this ti he did not help him.
Xie Xiao looked away, guessing they would probably never et again.
As for the words he had just spoken, they indeed were his last piece of advice.
Zhou Mianmian, whether in her past life or in this one, would never have any dealings with him from now on.
