“Alright, don’t blame me for embarrassing you in front of so many people.” Ye Shuping said.
He Jing remained silent. She quirked a brow, waiting to see what Ye Shuping had to say.
Ye Shuping took a deep breath, saying hatefully, “He Jing, stay away from Young Master Yan. You’re no longer the daughter of the Cheng family; Xiao Yi is, and she will fulfill the betrothal agreement in your place. Don’t try to reach for things beyond your means and status, and…”
. give the opportunity to shoot a promotional MV to those who actually deserve it.”
He Jing now knew Ye Shuping’s intentions.

It turned out that Cheng Yi coveted her opportunity, hoping to shoot a promotional MV with Yan Hanxi.
“I’m sorry, I can’t give up this opportunity just because you want me to. As for who deserves it-”
He Jing’s cherry-colored lips curled into a smirk as she confidently said, “I deserve it. I’m the school belle, after all.”
He Jing did not wait for a response as she spun on her heel, Shen Qiuyu and the rest of her classmates trailing after her.
Ye Shuping stomped her feet in frustration, returning to Cheng Yi’s room. “Mom, how was it?” Cheng Yi asked through misty eyes. “Xiao Yi, you should focus on your health before anything else.” Such an evasive answer implied she had failed.
Cheng Yi was a little disappointed, but she was not too discouraged.
It seemed she had to figure out how to deal with He Jing herself. Everyone else was unreliable!
Cheng Yi spent two days recuperating. In those two days, she could not get her mind off school.
When she finally returned, no one in school isolated her. Instead, a new emotion seemed to have taken root in their eyes.
The first thing Shen Qiuyu did when she got to school the next day was announce what had happened at the Cheng family residence. She described Ye
Shuping’s intense dislike of He Jing, including the supposed marriage between Yan Hanxi and the young miss of the Cheng family.
It was a stunning revelation to the whole student body. Could the bond between mother and daughter vanish just because they were unrelated by blood?
How long had it been…?
No wonder there was so much bad blood between He Jing and the Cheng family.
Cheng Yi’s status in the Cheng family was as real as it could be, and not even He Jing could compare to her with all of them dancing in the palm of the Cheng family’s hands.
He Jing buried her head in her homework and did not notice the sympathetic looks sent her way by her classmates. A certain big shot, however, seemed completely unphased by the situation and continued to stick close to He Jing, enraptured by her beauty. “Miss Merit Student, you should take a break!” Yan Hanxi teased, plucking He Jing’s pen out of her hand.
“I’m not tired,” He Jing replied, sparing Yan Hanxi a cool look.
Yan Hanxi smiled. “I’m tired. Wait for me.”
“No,” He Jing answered expressionlessly.
Yan Hanxi felt there was something off about He Jing’s mood. Now that he had heard her speak, this feeling became a certainty. He leaned closer to her with narrowed eyes and said, “I don’t remember doing anything to offend you. Are you angry at me because of what someone else said?”
He Jing paused, momentarily speechless. Unhappily, she sniffed, “Which eye of yours tells you I’m angry?”
“I never said you were angry; I just said you looked angry.”
“Semantics.”
Yan Hanxi chuckled, his fingers brushing away the loose strands that had become untucked by the wind. “Do you know what you look like now? You look like a pufferfish with those bloated cheeks of yours. You’re just short of wearing a billboard saying you’re annoyed.”
He Jing did not believe a word he said. She would never reveal her emotions in public! How could she have turned into a pufferfish? Rummaging in her desk’s drawer, she fished out her compact mirror to check herself. She still looked the same as usual…
Yan Hanxi could not suppress his bark of laughter, barely doing anything to silence it.
He Jing glared at him angrily.
Yan Hanxi had never thought anyone could look so cute being angry. He Jing was one-of-a-kind. Clearing his throat, a half smile tugging at his lips, he began, “I’ve heard some rumors floating about in class…”
“Nothing is going on between Cheng Yi and me. We’re classmates, that’s it. It’s not something that will change now or in the future..”
