Chapter 19

"Hmph, how have I not taken good care of myself!" Ye Jinmeng retorted at Shi Shuning.

"Wanwan, if you encounter any problems at school in the future, you can always come find me. I'm super capable, and I do well in my major courses too. I can even help you outline key points for your exams!" Ye Jinmeng said with a confident expression that said 'trust me, it won't hurt'.

...

After dinner, since it was getting late, Xu Wanwan decided it was time to head back to school.

Ye Jinmeng wanted to send Xu Wanwan back to school, and since Shi Shuning was the only one who hadn't been drinking, he took on the role of the driver.

"Wanwan, there are still two days left in the break. Do you have anything to do at school? Why don't you come play with me?" In the car, Ye Jinmeng sat beside Xu Wanwan, her voice soft and mellow as she inquired.

"Uh, that's okay Jinmeng." Xu Wanwan politely refused. "The break is almost over and I need to start classes again. I plan on spending these two days reviewing my textbooks, so I don't plan on leaving campus anymore."

Although when she was first reborn, Xu Wanwan had planned to get close to the Ye family to guard against Ye Jinmeng's malice, now everything was different from her previous life. She wasn't even sure if her identity in this parallel world was the same as her previous life.

Moreover, Xu Wanwan felt that Ye Xinchen and the others had been looking at her differently today, making her feel threatened, as if they suspected she had ulterior motives for getting close to Ye Jinmeng. So Xu Wanwan decided it was best to minimize her chances of encountering them.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinmeng was a bit disappointed. She had been hoping to take Wanwan to an amusement park. Oh well!GEtt the latest novels at novelhall.com

Shi Shuning let out a soft sigh. "Ai, Second Brother has already told us that girl Xu Wanwan seems to harbor ill intentions towards you. We're just afraid she'll hurt you."

Ye Jinmeng had been well protected since she was little, pure like a blank slate. With all these people doting on her, even if some brazen person wanted to scheme against Ye Jinmeng, they would be discovered first. So Ye Jinmeng had never had the chance to encounter someone with malicious designs.

But Xu Wanwan was an exception.

"But I feel like Wanwan isn't bad. And I just get this inexplicable feeling of heartache for her," Ye Jinmeng said dejectedly, her eyes downcast.

"I don't know why I have this emotion. Maybe it's because after reading her profile, she has no family and is dependent and alone, yet her living conditions are difficult and she's still studying hard. Or maybe it's when I saw her sitting quietly by herself during military training, her eyes carrying a sense of loneliness that wouldn't melt away."

"Like with that Xiao Jianren incident today, Wanwan didn't do anything wrong. It's only because they look down on Wanwan that she was bullied. So I think maybe she's just defensive towards outsiders and put up a protective front, which is why she was unfriendly to me at first."

"Besides, Wanwan doesn't look at me with cold eyes anymore. She must have sensed my goodwill, so we'll definitely become good friends!" Ye Jinmeng looked at Shi Shuning with determined eyes and said earnestly.

"Big brother Shuning, please don't be biased against Wanwan, okay?"

Shi Shuning sighed in resignation. "Alright, don't worry Jinmeng. I promise that as long as she doesn't do anything to hurt you, we won't do anything to her either. But..."

His tone turned serious, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "If she dares to harm even a single hair on your head, I will show no mercy."
