Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Break Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Break “I don’t know anything,” Zhao Xuanglang cut off Chen Lianlian’s words directly, “You must accept the consequences if you lose a bet. When do you plan to fulfill the bet?”
The confession she had intended to spill was suddenly all stuck in her throat. Combined with Zhao Xuanglang’s aggressive words, Chen Lianlian’s complexion beca even uglier, her entire appearance was incredibly pale, as if she might faint at any mont.
“Why must you be so aggressive, Zhao Xuanglang?” Shen Yixue spoke up, “We indeed lost, but we never intended to avoid the bet. Since we made the bet in the first place, we will naturally honor it.”
Even though she was unwilling to admit defeat in front of so many people, she absolutely couldn’t say it out loud. Otherwise, she would truly have no place in Tenglong Academy afterward.
Furthermore, in front of so many people, she really couldn’t bring herself to play dirty tricks.
“That would be best,” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “In two days, the school’s closing ceremony will take place, and many people will attend. I will wait for you to fulfill the bet then.”
Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, both Chen Lianlian and Shen Yixue were dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected Zhong Niangyao to ask them to fulfill the bet just two days later. This left them no ti to devise any plan.
“What?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Chen Lianlian and Shen Yixue’s silent expressions and mockingly said, “Are you thinking of going back on your word?”
“We will kneel and apologize to you that day,” Shen Yixue gritted her teeth, her eyes full of grievance and brimming with tears, “We won’t go back on our word.”
After that, she quickly pulled Chen Lianlian away.
Their hurried steps carried a hint of a desperate escape.
With the parties involved having fled, only Zhong Niangyao was left, naturally leaving no spectacle to be seen. After observing what happened, the crowd dispersed as well.
anwhile, after walking a distance, Chen Lianlian abruptly released Shen Yixue’s hand. “Xiao Xue, why did you agree to fulfill the bet in just two days with Zhong Niangyao? Don’t you realize how passive this makes us now?”
Usually, Shen Yixue would admit her fault and imdiately apologize, but she was also in a bad mood at the mont, her words tainted with a hint of resentnt, “Then what do you think I should have said? Should I have said that we lost but don’t want to fulfill the bet right now because we want to default on it?”
At this point, she was no longer in the mood to soothe Chen Lianlian. The difficult situation she faced now was all because of Chen Lianlian.
She had not wanted to agree to the bet with Zhong Niangyao initially, but Chen Lianlian had insisted on dragging her into this ss. Now she was fed up, yet as the instigator, Chen Lianlian was still blaming her. Was there really any other way she could have handled it just now?
Chen Lianlian, caught off guard by Shen Yixue’s response, was stunned for a mont before her face grew dark, “Are you blaming ?”
“I’m not blaming anyone, but don’t we already have no other option at this point?” Shen Yixue’s tone was not kind, “In front of so many people, are we supposed to admit we can’t bear to lose and want to simply renege?”
A few simple sentences left Chen Lianlian unable to retort, but she looked at Shen Yixue with discontent, “Shen Yixue, what do you an by this?”
“What do I an, don’t you understand?”
Thinking about the embarrassing situation she was about to face, Shen Yixue couldn’t control her inner dissatisfaction, “Chen Lianlian, it was obviously you who wanted to cut off all chances for Zhao Xuanglang and Zhong Niangyao to et. What does that have to do with ?”
“But you insisted on dragging into this, making your sacrificial lamb for love. What, can’t I even complain now?”
Seeing the completely different attitude from Shen Yixue, what else was there for Chen Lianlian not to understand? “Shen Yixue, so this is your true nature. I never expected you to be such a selfish person. I’ve been blind to consider soone like you a friend.”
“Friend?” Shen Yixue’s lips curved into a scornful smile, “Chen Lianlian, ask yourself, have you really considered a friend? If you had, you wouldn’t have dragged into this ss. You knew very well how I was already struggling in the academy, yet you still dragged into making that bet with Zhong Niangyao.”
“In front of the whole school, I have to kneel down and apologize to Zhong Niangyao. Did you ever consider the predicant I’ll have to face? You’re a wealthy heiress, you have your family to fall back on, and even if you incur major enmities, the impact on you is limited. Even if you don’t study at Tenglong Academy, you can go abroad, you still have better choices. But I don’t, everything I have now is about to be ruined because of you.”
“Shen Yixue, do you really need to clear yourself of all bla?” Chen Lianlian’s face twisted into a mocking smile, “Is it truly who insisted on dragging you into this? Don’t forget the bet, if Zhong Niangyao had said, she would be responsible for all your tuition and living expenses going forward, which is no small sum.”
“All that money, even after you graduate, who knows how many years it would take to save up. If not for the huge temptation of that money, why would you agree to this bet! Don’t portray yourself as so innocent, the ss you’re in now is due to your own greed, it has nothing to do with .”
With that, she shattered the facade of Shen Yixue being the innocent party.
Her face turning alternately pale and flushed, Shen Yixue stomped her foot, then abruptly turned and left.
Chen Lianlian scoffed and turned away, heading in the opposite direction.
A set of friends who were once seen as close sisters and best friends in everyone’s eyes, just parted ways right there.
Zhong Niangyao didn’t know about the fallout between Shen Yixue and Chen Lianlian, if she had known, she wouldn’t feel regret but would directly say dogs bite dogs, fur in all, hence their separation.
After leaving school, she imdiately returns to the Zhong family, planning to share her good results with the Old Sir and the elderly woman as soon as possible.
