Chapter 197 - Its Over!
Chapter 197: It’s Over!
Faced with Lin Yi’s coldness and Jian Yiyi’s questioning, Xi Jie and Li Linlin looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Jian Yiyi obviously wouldn’t let the two of them talk anymore. She immediately and apologetically said to Lin Yi, “I’m sorry, Lin Yi. I just mentioned it accidentally. I didn’t expect it to reach others.”
Seeing Jian Yiyi’s hypocrisy, even Gao Yang, who usually didn’t have many expressions, couldn’t help but frown.
The fountain pen Jian Yiyi gave him that day was quite expensive and Lin Yi even rejected it on the spot. It was only later on that he reluctantly accepted it under everyone’s persuasion. Now, it has become Jian Yiyi’s bargaining chip.
This Jian Yiyi was so shrewd at such a young age.
Jian Yiyi’s words confirmed that she gave Lin Yi an expensive fountain pen.
Everyone looked at Lin Yi with complicated expressions.
“You’re still so arrogant after receiving a gift?”
“Lin Yi has always been famous for his good temper. Why is he so fierce to Jian Yiyi today?”
“That’s right. If you have something to say, say it in private. This way, you won’t be putting each other down.”
Whispers rose and fell. Most of them were criticizing Lin Yi for not behaving well as a boy and for not thinking things through.
However, Lin Yi’s focus was not on the fountain pen, so he ignored everyone.
Jian Yiyi looked flustered, but she was very meticulous. She avoided the important things and only mentioned the fountain pen. She didn’t mention Lin Yi’s words just now.
She had created such a huge commotion and incited everyone in the school to spread these rumors. Her goal was to force Lin Yi to confess to her sooner.
Because she had always thought Lin Yi liked her.
However, in the face of the unconcealable anger and disgust in Lin Yi’s eyes, a smart person like Jian Yiyi finally understood that it had been her wishful thinking.
She must have misunderstood something that made her have that illusion.
However, even so, Jian Yiyi had no intention of giving up. Even if she wanted to clarify things, she should have done so at the beginning.
Now that things had come to this, if she explained, everyone would say that she had ulterior motives, and then she would lose all face and be scolded by everyone.
No, she couldn’t let that happen.
Lin Yi stared at Jian Yiyi’s face without moving. No matter what the people around him said, he was willing to give her a chance.
After a while.
Until the last bit of patience was used up, Jian Yiyi didn’t say a word except for looking wronged and innocent.
Lin Yi’s heart hardened.?If you’re not going to say anything, then I’ll say it.
“You and I are just classmates, right?” Lin Yi didn’t choose to explain himself but fired away with a question.
Because as long as Jian Yiyi nodded in agreement, all the problems would be resolved.
Everyone stopped breathing and looked at Lin Yi. They didn’t understand what Lin Yi meant.
Were they breaking up by clarifying their relationship in public?
Lin Yi’s eyes were like torches, wanting to pierce Jian Yiyi’s fake soul like a sharp sword.
However, he had underestimated Jian Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi was unmoved by such a gaze, but her eyes became moist. Then, bean-sized tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked at Lin Yi with a heartbreaking expression, like a pitiful person who had been mercilessly abandoned.
Without a word, Jian Yiyi seemed to be heartbroken. She covered her face and ran out crying.
This scene fell into the eyes of Jian Ai and the rest in the distance. Xia Qinghuan secretly held her forehead and thought to herself*, “It’s over!”*
