Zhao Juan stared at the expression on that form, I was afraid she would rush up and tear up the application form.

After a while, she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth:

"Lin Ting, what are you so proud of? It's just a form, besides the quota is not confirmed yet, who can say for sure?"

"Yeah, why are you panicking?"

I smiled at her.

Zhao Juan's face turned white and then black, as if the TV had short-circuited.

"Just you wait and see." She threatened me and walked away.

Now she doesn't call me Second Sister anymore, just calls me by my full name.

Great, I couldn't be happier to have nothing to do with her.

Two days passed steadily, one day after school, I found Zhao Juan being blocked at the school gate.

Surrounding her were several middle-aged men, pulling and tugging, the scene was quite ugly for a while.

The men were burly, and the students didn't dare to rush up to help, they could only stand at a distance and watch.

In the end, it was Chen Rui who called the security guards to drive those people away.

As I passed by them, I heard Zhao Juan explaining to Chen Rui with sobs:

"They are some distant relatives from the countryside, seeing that my parents are gone, they want to bully me and take advantage of our family's situation."

Huh?

Distant relatives? Why don't I know about this?

I've seen those people before, in a past life, Zhao Juan privately accepted a dowry of fifty thousand from them, but then refused to go through with the marriage and ran away with the money, so they came to the school.

Later, to avoid them, Zhao Juan hid at my house and these people followed her to our doorstep, in the end, my parents, fearing it would affect my studies, gave them nearly a hundred thousand in total to settle the matter for her.

Once those people left, Zhao Juan shifted the blame onto me.

She said it was me who was betrothed to those people.

I still remember when classmates asked her, she pretended to be innocent and widened her eyes.

"Those people must have been looking for my Second Sister, I'm still young, how could it be that they're looking for the younger sister before the older one is married? It was a childhood arranged marriage for her."

Since then, the rumor of me being betrothed to someone has fallen on my head, and it's brought up as gossip whenever there's nothing else to talk about.

Now this scene is replaying before my eyes.

It's obvious that Zhao Juan is lying.

I don't want to deal with this, isn't there still Chen Rui?

Just now, when Zhao Juan said those words, it broke Chen Rui's heart, he kept comforting her by holding her shoulders.

Now that Zhao Juan has no relation to our family, this mess of hers will probably have to be cleaned up by Chen Rui.

But Chen Rui's mother is so dominant, does Zhao Juan have the courage to face her?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance over at them.

Then I noticed, Zhao Juan was looking at me thoughtfully.

That was quite scary.

The sixth sense of a person is a mysterious thing, often good instincts fail while bad ones prevail.

Sure enough.

Not long after, I was blocked by those middle-aged men on my way to school.
