Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

Even a fool could guess that this whole thing was directed and acted by Su Qiaoman.

Why would Meng Wanyu need to push her downstairs?

There's absolutely no benefit to it.

Based on his understanding of Miss Meng, she wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit her.

She possessed an innate arrogance, disdaining to engage in any underhanded tactics.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that he is the only one who believes in Meng Wanyu.

People in the class, who were already far away from her, now avoided her even more, and some were even afraid to talk to her.

It seems she has already been isolated.

In contrast, things were quite lively on Su Qiaoman's side.

Girls who were as poor as her began to frequently invite her to meals, classes, and home together.

Of course, their motives were not entirely innocent either.

Caring about classmates is a small part; caring about gossip is the big part.

"Su Qiaoman, you and Meng Wanyu got into a fight because of Lu Chengzhou, right?"

"Lu Chengzhou is such a lucky guy."

"Two beautiful girls in the class almost got killed because of him."

"So, after you fell down the stairs, did Lu Chengzhou's attitude towards you change?"

Su Qiaoman responded to their gossipy curiosity with a smile.

My heart was filled with disdain.

She would rather be isolated by their group like Meng Wanyu than be busy dealing with their curiosity every day like she is now.

After finally getting rid of one group of people, the second group will arrive soon.

The muscles in her face were practically frozen from smiling.

Looking at her fake smile, Lu Chengzhou felt exhausted just looking at her.

What is the picture?

Could it be that they're just doing this for the sake of making a scene?

……

Lin Chen was unaware of the truth.

However, he didn't care.

At times like this, he and Meng Wanyu had similar thoughts: just let it go.

News always becomes old news; at most, a month later, no one will care about it anymore.

Right now, all he wants is to get the jade pendant back.

However, to get the jade pendant back, he had to continue pursuing Su Qiaoman.

Recalling Lu Chengzhou's words about "hero saving the beauty," he felt that this should be considered an opportunity.

"Su Qiaoman probably needs my help right now."

He looked at Su Qiaoman, who was surrounded by girls, and sighed.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the crowd.

Su Qiaoman looked at him coldly.

He held Su Qiaoman's wrist and led her forward.

The two didn't exchange a single unnecessary word the entire way.

"You can let go now."

"We'll continue pretending to be a couple."

"Let go."

"Su Qiaoman, you have no sense of right and wrong. You deserve to be pushed downstairs by Meng Wanyu."

Lin Chen got angry and once again said those harsh words.

Su Qiaoman gritted her teeth and glared at him, saying coldly, "Young Master Lin, we're in the same boat. I hate you so much, yet you still keep pestering me!"

Lin Chen chuckled.

They immediately launched into an even more offensive barrage of words.

"Su Qiaoman, are you finally giving in?"

"You pretended to be obedient and sensible back then, weren't you quite good at it?"

"Did Meng Wanyu push you down the stairs and reveal your true form?"

Su Qiaoman gave a cold laugh and walked away without saying a word.

Now, she feels more and more that leaving Lin Chen was the right choice.

What else does this person have besides some money?

He's a complete idiot.

……

School gate.

Sister Meng stood by the car door, watching the students come and go.

She saw Su Qiaoman, and then she saw Lin Chen.

I heard them attacking each other.

She chuckled softly and shook her head.

Soon, she saw her younger sister, Meng Wanyu, and her sister's bodyguard team.

"What's wrong? You seem unhappy today too?"

Sister Meng opened the car door and let her younger sister get into the passenger seat.

"I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little tired."

Meng Wanyu rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window.

My sister got into the car too.

"Is it because your teacher, Mr. Lu, has been ignoring you again lately?"

"No, actually it's because I haven't been paying attention to him lately."

After the incident with Su Qiaoman, Meng Wanyu always felt that Teacher Lu's attitude towards her had changed slightly.

It's not that it's a bad change.

On the contrary, it was too good, so good that she felt a little uncomfortable.

For example...

Just after school let out, Lu Chengzhou was actually waiting for her at the classroom door, asking if she needed tutoring at home!

This kind of thing would never have happened before.

Lu Chengzhou would have run away as fast as he could when he saw her, why would he come to her of his own accord?

Unable to understand this change, Meng Wanyu declined Lu Chengzhou's offer of tutoring.

The result was that I regretted it the very next second.

Right now, all she wants to do is confront her past self and question why she rejected such a great opportunity!

"elder sister……"

Meng Wanyu sighed.

"Tell me, why is it that even though I was the one who rejected him, I'm the one who's upset?"

139. Have you been labeled as someone who deceives young girls?

Sister Meng turned her face away somewhat awkwardly.

She was no longer able to teach her sister about matters of the heart.

No woman in the world can calmly teach her love rival.

Including Sister Meng, a woman whose elegance emanates from her very core.

However, seeing her younger sister looking so dejected, Meng's older sister softened a little.

"If you like him, don't reject him."

Meng Wanyu sighed.

His fingers clenched weakly, then loosened.

“Perhaps this is what true liking is,” she said softly. “Now, I feel like I’m not playing a game anymore.”

"I want to see him every day, even just a glance would make me feel so content..."

Hearing her younger sister say that, Sister Meng's heart sank.

Her fingers gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly.

At this moment, she remembered the multiple-choice question that had always been weighing on her mind:

Should one choose sisterly love or her romantic love?

The scales in her heart are weighing these two feelings.

……

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Meng Wanyu finished her dinner absentmindedly.
