When Tang Yuwei heard Su Jin’s words, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. If she could tell someone, the burden in her heart would be greatly reduced. But she suddenly seemed to have remembered something when she shook her head in panic, eyes filled with fear. She absolutely could not tell anyone. This matter was not simple. Her face was full of fear as she replied,
“No, I can’t. I can’t tell anyone. They have people watching me. I can’t tell anyone, or my family will die. I absolutely can’t.”
After Tang Yuwei rushed through her sentence, she ran out as if she was chased by something terrifying. Su Jin wanted to run after her but when she thought about the terrified look on Tang Yuwei’s face, even if she ran after Tang Yuwei, she wouldn’t tell her anything. So, Su Jin gave up.
Su Jin saw Tang Yuwei’s name tag just now. She was a student from Grade 12, Class S. Since Tang Yuwei wouldn’t tell her, Su Jin would find another way. Fortunately, Su Jin had friends in that class.
At noon, Yu Haiyang followed Su Jin to the cafeteria shamelessly. Lately, he had been saying that he wanted to give Su Jin a treat, but in fact, he was tagging along with Su Jin for all her exceptional meals arranged by his uncle.
Yu Haiyang had just put Su Jin’s specially made dishes on the table he saw her walk in with a few people from Class S, who were all popular figures at their school.
For example, Shangguan Yun’er, Hou Wan’er, and Gu Mengyao from Class S. Shangguan Yun’er was famous for being the princess of the Shangguan family; she was known for being unruly and willful. Hou Wan’er and Gu Mengyao were both famous for being straight-A students.
Yu Haiyang had some understanding of these girls and personally knew Shangguan Yun’er. He hated Shangguan because she was too unruly and willful. He glanced at Shangguan and said to Su Jin,
“Sister Su, why did you bring Shangguan here?”
Su Jin asked the girls to sit. She had asked them over so she could find out more about the girl. After all, she still remembered the image she saw in her mind. Since she knew, she couldn’t just ignore it. Su Jin replied,
“Of course, it’s because I have something to discuss with them. Go and eat with Pang Lili. Don’t disturb us.”
Yu Haiyang’s face showed some reluctance when he heard this. Although he was a good-looking person, after the incident with Su Xue, he knew that outer beauty was not important at all. Inner beauty was way more important. But he couldn’t bear to give up the delicacies before him, so he pleaded,
“Sister, can I not go?”
Pang Lili happened to pass by and heard Yu Haiyang’s words. She secretly clenched her fists and noted in her heart that when she became better in future, Yu Haiyang must not beg her ever. Otherwise, she would make Yu Haiyang cry bitterly and regret that he treated her like this now.
Su Jin heard Yu Haiyang’s words and saw Pang Lili at the same time. She directly shoved Yu Haiyang in Pang Lili’s direction. She had important matters to attend to and had no time for him. She said to Yu Haiyang,
“Hurry over, or Lili will think that she has no friends, and she will be sad. Hurry over and help me protect her.”
Yu Haiyang had no other choice when he heard this. Since Su Jin had asked him explicitly, it’d be pointless if he stayed here shamelessly. He could only give up the delicacies on this table. He nodded as he replied helplessly,
“Okay.”
After Yu Haiyang left, Su Jin sat back down with relief. With a smile on her face, she looked at the few beauties around the table. These three people were from Class S, so they could definitely help her with her investigation. She said with a smile,
“I asked you to come here because I have a favor to ask.”
After all the things that Gu Mengyao had gone through, she knew that Su Jin was a good person and a sincere friend. So, whatever it was, as long as she could do it, she would help Su Jin. Gu Mengyao asked quickly,
“What is it? Just tell us. As long as we can do it, we’ll help.”
Shangguan Yun’er was a foodie. She had stars in her eyes when she saw the delicious food on the table. But when she heard Gu Mengyao’s words, she quickly nodded. Su Jin had saved her before, so she had to help.
