Chapter 16: My Business Has Nothing to Do With You
TL: Etude
In his past life, Jiang Qin was a student at Lin Uy, maj in Iional Trade. Therefore, in this life, he still chose to go to Lin, as he was already very familiar with the city.
Starting a business in a familiar city would be easier and more effit.
Hearing Jiang Qin’s answer, Feng Nanru rubbed her face, then stared bnkly at the snack bag she had just been showing off, lost in thought.
At that moment, the Nokia phone oable flickered. Jiang Qin unlocked it to find a QQ message from Wang Huiru.
“Jiang Qin, Chu Siqi scored 632, what about you?”
“Did she send you to ask me?”
“Alright, you guessed right, she did ask me to.”
“My business is none of her . Just tell her that,” Jiang Qin typed out on the physical keyboard and hit send.
Wang Huiru was stunned: “Jiang Qin, you and Chu Siqi don’t have any deep grudges, right? It’s normal for cssmates to ask about each other’s scores. Don’t always be like this.”
“What am I like?”
“Petty!”
Jiang Qin’s typing grew more fluent: “If beiy is what it takes, then so be it. Let her think what she wants.”
Wang Huiru sent an ellipsis: “Jiang Qin, Chu Siqi did nothing wrong. She has the right to reject you, but even if you ’t be lovers, you still be friends.”
“Is it my fault? Choosing not to g is also my right, okay? I don’t want to be her friend.”
“Why not?”
Jiang Qin switched to one-hayping: “She thinks the whole world should love her, that everyone should cater to her whims. Whatever she says goes, and if she says go east, you better not go west. I ’t stand such a friend; it’s really annoying.”
Wang Huiru was silent for a while: “I know Siqi is a bit proud, but isn’t that part of her charm?”
“Being a bit proud is fine, but she crosses the line. Like that day oral Street, she ordered me not to leave in front of so many people. Why? We’re not even friends, and she thinks she just dictate my as like the world revolves around her?”
“Just talk to her properly, ask her to ge.”
Jiang Qin frowned: “Why should I waste my time on her? If one friend doesn’t work out, I’ll find another. What’s wrong with that?”
Wang Huiru’s reply was noticeably slower: “Nothing’s wrong, but are you sure you’re not saying this out of spite because she rejected you?”
“I’ve made myself very clear. Why do you all still think this way? I bet Chu Siqi thinks the same, right? Don’t you think I’m ag this way because I ’t handle reje and I’m trying to save face?”
“No, no, that’s not what I think. Don’t misuand, Jiang Qin!”
Jiang Qin tiyping: “Wang, I don’t even want to say a word to her. I’m expining this muly because of you. Do you uand?”
Seeing this response, Wang Huiru’s heart softened: “Then I’ll talk to her, tell her not to bother you for a while.”
“Not just for a while, but forever.”
“Jiang Qin, saying that is too hurtful. She left you a way out when she rejected you, even enced you. ’t you be a little less cold towards her?”
“I ’t believe this. When she said to keep going because there might be hope, you call that encement? She doesn’t have feelings for me. She’s just lonely and thinks I keep her pany. The moment she finds someone she truly likes, she won’t even remember who I am.”
“…”
“Wang, sometimes it’s better to speak harshly, to make a break. It prevents both parties from harb too many illusions.”
Upon reading this reply, Wang Huiru fell silent, suddenly recalling the versation she had with Chu Siqi oral Street.
“Siqi, what if you meet someone you truly like iure?”
“Then I’d definitely choose the one I like. I ’t pick Jiang Qin just because he’s persistent, I?”
Knowing that Jiang Qin’s words were not without truth, she had no ground tue, even feeling somewhat on Jiang Qin’s side.
“Alright, Jiang Qin, I know what to do.”
“Wang, it’s been nice chatting with you, but please don’t tact me about her matters again. I don’t want my day to be ruined, okay?”
“Sorry.”
“It’s fine, as long as things are clear.”
After ending the chat, Wang Huiru sighed, her gaze drifting into a daze.
Indeed, Jiang Qin truly had no lingering feelings for her best friend, turning into disgust aion instead.
But what about Feng Nanru?
Was she really dating Jiang Qin?
She was the daughter of a wealthy family, often picked up in a Bentley, and the dream of tless boys at gnan High School. Boys secretly in love with her would form a line from gnan High School to the city ter. Yet, Jiang Qin could pinch her face, and she was utterly adorable and capricious. Who would believe such a thing?
Even Wang Huiru wao ask: Why?
Jiang Qin looked good, was tall, and performed well academically, but she still couldn’t believe he could win Feng Nanru’s heart.
Feng Nanru was famously aloof at school, hardly speaking to anyone, exuding an unapproachable air of nobility.
Some boys felt inferior just getting close to her, w how they dared to harbor such hopes, not realizing their own worth.
So this was all just illogical!
Wang Huiru felt she was increasingly uo see through Jiang Qin. And then she couldn’t help but think of her best friend again.
Siqi was still haughty and temperamental, waiting for Jiang Qin tret and apologize, pletely unaware of all that had transpired in just half a month.
Wang Huiru picked up her phone again, found Chu Siqi’s QQ, a her a message.
“I just asked Jiang Qin. He said his affairs have nothing to do with you and asked you not to tact him anymore.”
“That asshole, how he speak like that? Didn’t you scold him for me?”
“Siqi, let it go. You’ve already rejected him. Just fet about him.”
In a bedroom of a unit in Fenglinlu unity, Chu Siqi, dressed in pajamas, was infuriated. She threw her college application guidebook against the wall, tears welling up in her eyes.
That Jiang Qin, he must hate her for rejeg him, so he’s deliberately trying to upset her!Yes, he succeeded. She was indeed upset.
But wasn’t he unfortable holding back for so long? It was just prideful suffering.
In fact, Chu Siqi had her reasons for asking Wang Huiru to inquire about Jiang Qin’s scores. She wao give Jiang Qin an out, hinting him to stop beiful.
Lately, she was being increasingly irritable, stantly cheg her phone, fantasizing about a message from Jiang Qin admitting his mistake.
This was almost being her obsession.
She never cared so much about Jiang Qin before, but now he filled her thoughts. Chu Siqi didn’t like this version of herself, nor the feeling of losing trol.
But she hadn’t expected Jiang Qin to be so heartless. He really didn’t know what’s good for him!Fine, no tact then. From now on, whoever tacts the other is a fool!
