148 148 The note
Tan Jing had laid out an inescapable net and was waiting for Tan Rou to fall into the trap.
Recently, the rumors in the school were getting more and more unfavourable to Tan Jing. There were more and more rumors about Tan Rou’s handsome character and beautiful appearance. There were also many of them who were arguing that the t.i.tle of the school Belle should be given to Tan Rou, which made Tan Jing depressed for several days.
However, all of these were nothing. Once the test results were out, everyone would be shocked.
What’s the use of being pretty? Having a handsome personality was even more of a nonsense. Who would choose an ignorant, incompetent, and stupid School Belle? What if such an idiot didn’t know her position and tried to cheat in the exam?
No matter how pretty a person was, people would only think that she was arrogant, despotic, vulgar, and unruly in the end. This was human nature!
Who else would still consider her to be the school Belle? It would probably be a huge joke.
Tan Jing was secretly proud of herself. The idea she came up with was really too smart. Even if Tan Rou accepted her fate and did not cheat, Tan Jing still had Wei Ling to help her.
Tan Jing had already made herself clear and so Tan Jing wasn’t afraid that Wei Ling wouldn’t do anything to Tan Rou. When the time came, if Tan Jing said that Tan Rou had cheated, it would be considered cheating. No matter how Tan Jing quibbled, it would be useless!
Wei Ling originally did not want to get involved in the fight between Tan Jing and Tan Rou. The last time when they were in the cla.s.sroom, Tan Rou had defeated Liang Lu and revealed that she had a close relationship with Zhuang Liu, Wei Ling had decided not to help Tan Jing.
Now that Tan Rou was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, Wei Ling didn’t want to be the victim. After all, if something happened, Tan Jing definitely wouldn’t help her given how her personality was. Wei Ling had gradually seen through Tan Jing’s selfish nature.
However, Tan Jing still had the strong support of the Tan family while Tan Rou had nothing.
When Wei Ling heard about Tan Jing’s plan, she declined twice, saying that she was too timid to do such a thing.
However, who knew that Tan Jing had completely set her eyes on tan Rou. She did not hesitate to borrow Tan Song’s power to find Wei Ling’s parents and indirectly revealed that she wanted Wei Ling to help her deal with a cla.s.smate.
Tan Jing even hypocritically told Wei Ling’s mother how much she valued Wei Ling and sincerely treated Wei Ling as a good friend. She did not expect that Wei Ling would not help her at the critical moment. She was a little sad and even hinted that Tan Song was also a little disappointed in the Wei family.
Wei Ling’s mother was shocked and quickly scolded Wei Ling.
For a family like theirs, as long as they could rely on a strong person, what’s wrong with helping out a friend in school?
Although she didn’t know who Tan Jing wanted to deal with, from what Tan Jing said, the other party was just a n.o.body. If Wei Ling helped Tan Jing deal with such an issue, Wei Ling could win the favour of the tan family. How worthwhile was that?
Wei Ling stammered and wanted to refuse but she couldn’t say anything. After all, Tan Rou didn’t have any substantial background and her relationship with Zhuang Liu was uncertain. She couldn’t just tell her parents that she just had a feeling that Tan Rou wasn’t someone simple. There was nothing left for her to say.
So, under the persuasion of her family, Wei Ling could only choose to continue helping Tan Jing.
Wei Ling was sitting diagonally behind Tan Rou. She stared at Tan Rou’s back silently. Her heart was in a mess and she did feel incredibly frightened.
Tan Jing had already suffered too many losses because of Tan Rou. Wei Ling felt that she might not be able to gain any benefits this time either. However, this time, she was chosen by Tan Jing to become her helper. If something happened, wouldn’t she be the one who was at fault?
The last time, Wei Ling was still hesitating about when to befriend Tan Rou so that she could have another person to stick up to. However, she did not expect that before she could see what Tan Rou had, she was pulled back into Tan Jing’s camp.
Wei Ling rubbed the paper in her hand and thought carefully. Although she never wanted to pick a side, she obviously had no other choice now.
If she chose Tan Rou, there would be too many risks involved. She didn’t know if she could win against Tan Jing. Even if she could, it would probably take some time.
However, if she did not help Tan Jing with this now, the Wei family might immediately suffer under the Tan family’s suppression.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Ling gritted his teeth and looked at Tan Rou with regret.
She didn’t have the capital to gamble. Since she couldn’t completely offend Tan Jing now, she could only do her best to help the other party suppress Tan Rou, she had no chance to turn things around and she had to do this right.
