Chapter 1535: I’ll Settle My Own Matters
“Can we talk? It won’t take too long.”
“Shen Xin, you…”
Seeing that Qiao Chen hadn’t said anything, Lin Xiaoya was secretly happy. She thought that Qiao Chen was on her side and wanted to scold Shen Xin.
“Xiaoya, I’ll settle my own matters. We’re all cla.s.smates, don’t say those things anymore. Shen Xin didn’t pester me, don’t believe in rumors. Many things aren’t what you think.”
Lin Xiaoya was stunned for a moment before her expression stiffened.
Was Qiao Chen speaking up for Shen Xin?
Everyone in Yunzhong knew that Shen Xin had been pestering him for three years. Now, he actually said that Shen Xin wasn’t pestering him and told her not to believe rumors?
Was he blaming her for scolding Shen Xin?
But why would he speak up for Shen Xin? Didn’t he hate her clinging to him?
“But…” Lin Xiaoya didn’t want to lose face in front of Shen Xin.
“I’ll settle my own matters.” Qiao Chen looked at her and repeated his words, but his tone wasn’t as gentle as before.
Lin Xiaoya’s expression stiffened again.
She glanced at Shen Xin and pursed her lips.
Everyone said that Qiao Chen didn’t like Shen Xin.
But why did she feel that he didn’t hate her?
She even felt a sense of danger. She felt that Qiao Chen and Shen Xin’s relations.h.i.+p wasn’t as others said.
“Shen Xin, come with me.”
Qiao Chen walked towards a tree not too far away.
He took out his cell phone and sent Qiao Mianmian a WeChat message, asking her to wait for him.
Qiao Mianmian said to Mo Yesi, “Chen Chen wants us to wait for him.”
“Then, let’s wait.” Mo Yesi nodded. “It’s nothing urgent, anyway.”
“Mm.” Qiao Mianmian saw Shen Xin and Qiao Chen walk under a tree. The girl who was with Qiao Chen hadn’t left yet and was looking at them unhappily.
Qiao Mianmian looked at the girl and frowned.
She heard what the girl said about Shen Xin.
Qiao Mianmian didn’t like Shen Rou.
But she had nothing against Shen Xin.
On the contrary, although she hadn’t interacted much with her, she felt that Shen Xin was much better than Shen Rou. She wasn’t an annoying girl.
…
Under the tree.
Qiao Chen looked at the girl standing in front of him and pursed his lips for a while before breaking the silence. “Shen Xin, why are you looking for me?”
Shen Xin felt embarra.s.sed.
She’d never asked Qiao Chen for anything.
She could beg anyone.
But begging Qiao Chen…
This was especially difficult for her because the person she didn’t want to beg the most was Qiao Chen.
She clenched her fists.
“Mm, there’s something.” She was silent for more than 10 seconds before saying softly, “Qiao Chen, can I ask you for a favor? I know it’s ridiculous for me to suddenly say this to you. Our relations.h.i.+p isn’t very good, and I’ve always done so many things that you don’t like.
“But I still hope that you can help the Shen family.”
Shen Xin didn’t know how she said that.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
She bit her lip too hard, and a row of bite marks appeared on her soft lips.
