Chapter 519: Be Honest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Linda hadn’t been back in the country for long, and she wasn’t a student who had gone abroad from this small county town, but a bona fide overseas Chinese.
She came back to this county at Zhou En’s invitation, and happened to meet them because Xia Chen needed an English speaking tutor.
In Linda’s own words, she had no relatives or friends in this place and only knew Zhou En and Xia’s family.
But if she didn’t know anyone, how would the princ.i.p.al know about her?
Xia Wan felt puzzled but didn’t continue to ask.
After lunch, Linda complained about having to teach in the afternoon and waved goodbye to Xia Wan and Liu Hua.
When Linda and Xia Chen were far away, Liu Hua said, “Linda is from abroad, she’s really different from us.”
“How is she different?” Xia Wan asked curiously.
“I can’t quite say, but I feel she’s smarter and more energetic than us!” Liu Hua said admiringly, “I wish I could be as confident and generous as her!”
Xia Wan patted Liu Hua’s shoulder, “Don’t feel inferior! One day, when we venture out, we’ll be just like her!”
Liu Hua hung her head, “Can we really venture out?”
Xia Wan was familiar with Liu Hua’s expression because she had felt the same
way before.
Even after meeting her master and learning exquisite medical skills, she hadn’t truly freed herself from her inner demons.
But in this life, she wouldn’t compromise with these difficulties!
“Don’t worry! We will definitely venture out! We still have a broader sky to face!” Xia Wan said with determination and fighting spirit, giving Liu Hua confidence.
“Okay! Then I’ll venture out with you!” Liu Hua finally smiled.
“Where are you planning to go?” A teasing voice sounded from behind, making Xia Wan’s back feel cold.
She turned around, looking at Jiang Lu with some disgust, “Why do you always like appearing behind others? Sneaky, you must be up to no good!”
Jiang Lu wasn’t deterred by Xia Wan’s unfriendly att.i.tude, his smile deepening, “I try so hard to please you, and you still despise me every time, it really hurts my feelings! ”
Jiang Lu said this, making a sad face.
Xia Wan’s mouth twitched, “Don’t do that, it makes me feel even more disgusted!”
Jiang Lu finally restrained his expression, “If you’re angry about what happened yesterday with my sister, I can apologize on their behalf.”
“Or, if you need them to apologize in person, I can…”
Xia Wan interrupted with a raised hand, “No need! Just stay away from me!”
‘Why?” Jiang Lu looked unwilling and aggrieved, “Did I do something wrong that offended you?”
Xia Wan: “I don’t like people with ulterior motives! Especially those who approach me with a purpose!”
Jiang Lu’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered, “Xia Wan, I have no ulterior motives towards you, and I’ve always been looking out for you. I even told you about the doc.u.ment, didn’t I?”
Xia Wan looked at Jiang Lu, seemingly sincere, “If you really have my best interests at heart, you should tell me who you really are and what your purpose is here.’
“Why do you know about the doc.u.ment, and…”
“And what?” Jiang Lu smiled, his expression playful.
“And if you have no purpose with me, whose news are you trying to get through me?” Xia Wan didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore and asked directly.
“Xia Wan, you’re smart,” Jiang Lu said sincerely, “but not smart enough.”
“I don’t need your judgment,” Xia Wan said impatiently, waving her hand, “If you’re not willing to be truly honest, we can never be friends!”
Xia Wan said this and walked away with Liu Hua.
Far away, Jiang Lu didn’t follow.
Liu Hua gave Xia Wan a thumbs up, “Xia Wan, you’re amazing! So eloquent!”
Xia Wan brushed off Liu Hua’s thumb, “I just dislike those who act in secret and use the guise of goodwill to try to strip away your rights!”
Liu Hua looked somewhat confused but still couldn’t help but admire, “It feels like what you’re saying makes a lot of sense!”
