Chapter 57
57 Heartless to the End
Hearing Lu Yan talk to her, Yang Xue nervously clenched her sleeves and stammered, “I, I don’t like to talk much and I’m also inconspicuous. It’s normal that you don’t remember.”
Lu Yan saw the girl’s nervous expression and was a little curious about how Lin Yin became friends with a girl that’s as timid as an ant. However, she didn’t say anything and the three of them arrived at the canteen.
As soon as she reached the second floor to get the food, Lin Yin heard Jiang Qi’s ear-piercing scolding. “Who do you think you are? You still want to be friends with me? If you don’t have money to eat, get lost!”
Lin Yin and Yang Xue looked over curiously, but Lu Yan said disapprovingly, “This is a normal phenomenon in West Axis Academy. Ignore them. Let’s go to the other side.”
Lin Yin glanced at Jia Qing, who was about to cry from Jiang Qi’s scolding, and did not intend to pay attention to her. The three of them were about to leave when Jia Qing saw Lin Yin. She seemed to have seen her savior and shouted, “Lin Yin!”
Lin Yin wanted to ignore Jia Qing. To her, Jia Qing and Su Fei were essentially no different. They were both hypocritical and selfish, and both were disgusting.
However, Jia Qing did not want to let Lin Yin off. She hurriedly ran in Lin Yin’s direction and grabbed her arm tightly.
“Lin Yin, I don’t have enough money in my meal card. Can you help me?”
Lin Yin thought of her previous life. When Jia Qing was with her, she almost never spent money. Lin Yin kept helping her, but Jia Qing completely betrayed her for some insignificant benefit.
Lin Yin’s face turned cold. She shook off Jia Qing’s hand and said coldly, “Get lost. Am I very familiar with you?”
Jia Qing saw Lin Yin’s cold gaze and was a little timid. After seeing Lu Yan and Yang Xue beside Lin Yin, she had a plan.
She gathered her emotions and her eyes were filled with tears. She cried at Lin Yin, “Lin Yin, we grew up together. Why are you doing this to me? Is it because you’re richer than before? You’re so ruthless, aren’t you afraid that no one will dare to be friends with you in the future?”
“Ruthless?” Lin Yin could hear the deeper meaning in Jia Qing’s words and found her funny.
Lin Yin took a step forward and said to Jia Qing coldly, “Being friends goes both ways. You’re slandering me for no reason. It’s already very benevolent of me not to hit you!”
Jia Qing took a few steps back timidly. She didn’t know why a person would suddenly change so much. Lin Yin’s powerful aura made her feel unfamiliar and afraid.
“Hmph, look at how poor you are. Get lost quickly. You want to make friends in West Axis? Dream on!” Although Jiang Qi couldn’t stand Lin Yin, she hated Jia Qing even more.
Jia Qing noticed that the surrounding people were pointing at her as if she had been humiliated. She looked at Lin Yin angrily and turned to leave the canteen quickly.
“Let’s go. I’m hungry.” Lu Yan didn’t care about the gazes of others at all. She pulled Lin Yin and Yang Xue to the food counter.
“Brother Chao, why is Lu Yan so close to that wretched girl?” Zhao Zhi and Zheng Chao sat in the corner of the second floor and witnessed the entire process of Lin Yin and Jia Qing’s argument.
“Lin Yin is quite smart. She probably knows about Lu Yan’s family background and wants to cling to her.” Zheng Chao looked at Lin Yin with hatred.
What was the use of being beautiful? She humiliated and ignored him again and again. Zheng Chao could not take this lying down.
“Then what should we do? Lu Yan is a big shot that none of us can afford to offend. If we offend the Lu Family, not to mention West Axis, we can’t even stay in the city!” Zhao Zhi had no intention of offending Lu Yan.
It was not only West Axis Academy. Everyone in the city knew the Lu Family’s ability. If they offended their family, they would probably never be able to make a comeback in their lives.
“Who said that we’re going to offend Lu Yan?” A sly look appeared in Zheng Chao’s eyes as he slowly said to Zhao Zhi, “Although the Lu Family is very strong, Lu Yan is too well protected. She’s very simple-minded. She has always hated fake and sn.o.bbish people. As long as we make her think that Lin Yin approached her on purpose, Lu Yan will definitely hate Lin Yin. At that time, we don’t have to do anything. Lin Yin won’t be able to stay in West Axis!”
When Zhao Zhi heard Zheng Chao’s words, his eyes lit up. He quickly praised obsequiously, “Our Brother Chao is still the best. That wretched girl Lin Yin is dead meat this time!”
