Chapter 9: The Inescapable Fate

  "Are you a coward? Hmm... Miss Zhao, should I list out all the people in our class who have been verbally abused by you?"

  Baibao Li smiled and glanced at Zhao Yi Lu.

  Zhao Yi hastily covered her mouth, which was revealing two small tiger-like teeth as she laughed.

  Mei Xuewu looked at the two people who were joking around, raised an eyebrow, and her bright peach blossom eyes sparkled with amusement:

  "I think she's not weak, this kind of thing, if it gets out, it will still damage her reputation. From the way she handled things today, she doesn't seem to be weak in a way that would make people dislike her, on the contrary, she has a very dignified and noble demeanor."

  Zheng Lian raised her eyes and met hers for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

  "Baby, on the top of Cloud Heaven, isn't that your family's clubhouse? That woman said tonight's gathering, you have to be careful with how many tricks you play, Su Miling's careless appearance today is probably fake."

  Zheng Lianchu was an ice beauty, always cold-faced and cold-hearted with few words, but her eyes were extremely observant, and her words naturally had reasons that made everyone believe, listening to which others also nodded in agreement.

  It's just that, judging from Su Mianliang's concern for Zhou Jinyu, even if the two of them had a fight, it wouldn't be to the point where he would become so calm and collected. Obviously, that act of pretending to be stupid was specifically used to infuriate Han Biyun, that despicable person who uses underhanded tactics.

  Su Miling walked out of the classroom and saw Han Biyun standing on one side of the road. The two locked eyes for a moment, then Han Biyun raised her hand, shaking her phone back and forth.

  Su Mei Liang's expressionless face stood for a moment, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction of where Han Biyun was standing. She didn't want to run into Zhou Jinyu, who might be waiting for her near the palm tree up ahead. Instead, she planned to leave through the school's back door on the side of the playground. Of course, she had no idea that Zhou Jinyu and the others had already gone to play at the back playground.

  "Hey, wait a minute." Han Biyun shouted with a complex expression behind her back, looking at the phone in her hand, stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him. Su Miling didn't even plan to open his new phone, he must be really angry this time.

  Su Mei Liang stopped and turned around, her gaze piercingly cold as she stared at her, the look in her eyes seeming to hold a bone-chilling penetrating power that made Han Bi Yun lose her composure for the first time in front of her, feeling like she had nowhere to hide.

  "Anything wrong?" The two words were sharp and impatient.

  "Uh-huh... I used your cell phone yesterday, now I'm returning it to you;"

  "Uncle Su just called and asked you to call him back."

  Han Biyun tactfully didn't mention Zhou Jinyu's matter again, and returned the phone to her. She herself still wanted to cleverly explain the QQ group thing, but seeing Su Miling's expression, she immediately chose to give up. Which smart person would choose to humiliate themselves?

  Su Mei Liang glanced at the phone in her hand, stretched out two fingers to pinch the other end, with a look of disgust as if even touching her was unbearable, then turned around and walked away silently.

  Han Biyun hastily said towards her back:

  "Ming Liang, tonight's party at the top of Cloud Heaven, you must come! You've told me many times that I should go there to broaden my horizons. I heard that every night there are famous singers performing..."

  Su Mei Liang was holding her phone with a strange expression on her face, flipping it over and over in contemplation, completely ignoring him.

  Han Biyun's voice was getting lower and lower, she saw Su Miling hurrying along, not paying any attention to her at all. Anxious and indignant, she gazed up at the sky with weak eyes, this young lady of the Su family was really acting out of character today.

  She saw Su Mie Liang quickly walking to the edge of the court, and she suddenly had an idea. She took out her phone and told Zhou Jinyu that Su Mie Liang was heading towards the court, asking him to slip away and talk alone.

  Zhou Jinyu listened and saw Su Mieling getting closer and closer, he thanked her and greeted his companions before running towards Su Mieling.

  Facing the popular mobile phone from ten years ago, in Su Miliang's eyes it was clearly an antique. She touched it a few times but didn't see the screen light up, and she felt somewhat surprised. Immediately, she thought that it might be turned off, so she turned it on, flipped out Su Luoquan's number, and dialed it.

  "Dad, is anything wrong?"

  "Your mom is busy sorting out the financial reports for the end of the month, she can't leave, and won't be back for lunch. Why don't you come to the company cafeteria to eat?" Su Luo Chuan said with concern.

  "Alright." Su Miling replied, she was just about to head to their unit anyway.

  Thinking of the horrific bombing that would happen in front of him the next evening, Su Mie Liang naturally had to go there once.

  After his father's accident, he was filled with pain and regret, and had no impression of the personnel changes in the factory. Fortunately, she often went there to eat, so many leaders in the factory were very familiar with her. It is estimated that when seeing people, many things will reappear from memory.

  Su Mei Liang was lost in thought when she suddenly looked up to see Zhou Jin Yu standing not far in front of her, smiling at her with a shy and pure gaze that was captivating.

  At a glance, eternal.

  Su Mei Liang's eyes widened in shock as she saw someone she didn't want to see and shouldn't have seen.

  A thought flashed through his almost comical brain - wasn't he under the big banyan tree in the front yard, how did he end up here again, it's really miserable, can't even hide.

  Seeing Su Mei Liang standing there with a surprised look, he felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed his short hair with one hand, then inserted both hands into the pockets of his white team uniform shorts and walked towards her with hesitant steps in an awkward gait.

  At this moment, he didn't know how captivating his appearance was!

  They say that a woman's shyness is the most captivating charm, but in fact, when a boy who is always confident and handsome becomes shy and doesn't know where to put his hands and feet in front of a girl, he becomes tense, like an ordinary young man, which clearly shows that he truly likes her.

  Su Mei Liang was so tense that she couldn't speak, and before she even opened her mouth, the grievances and pain welling up from her heart made her throat choke, and for a moment, she lost her composure.

  If life were like our first meeting, how wonderful it would be.

  Zhou Jinyu was very tall, but his skeleton was symmetrical, standing in front of Su Miling, which set off her slender weakness.

  "Hey, cool - want to come watch me play basketball?"

  "No." Su Mie's mouth twitched as she flatly denied it.

  "Sorry, I know you're shy, but since we've talked, we'll be in the same circle from now on and will get familiar eventually. So, I was thinking of introducing you to them today, so you won't feel too awkward at tonight's gathering."

  Zhou Jinyu thought she was angry and began to explain why he and his group were waiting for her under the palm tree that afternoon.

  Hearing this, Su Miling felt like she was indeed his girlfriend and got a headache.

  She hated Zhou Jinyu, but looking at the Zhou Jinyu in front of her, he seemed so innocent.

  "Misty Leng?" Zhou Jinyu looked at Su Misty Leng, who was lowering her head in silence, and called out to her in a gentle voice that made Su Misty Leng's heart suddenly become vigilant.

  She instinctively took a step back, creating distance between them. He was the one she had to avoid after her rebirth, and all those miserable experiences were thanks to him. How could she possibly have good feelings towards him?
