Chapter 112: 112 Pretending to be a Pig to Eat the Tiger (Thanks for the tips! Seeking monthly votes!)

"What? Run out of excuses?"

Seeing the other party silent, Zheng Jingjing grew even more furious.

After all, in her self-consciousness, Jiang Chen and Shu Rui being together definitely had her tremendous efforts behind it, she should at least be considered half a matchmaker,

and just yesterday Shu Rui had opened up her heart.

Yet now, this guy was enjoying a sweet breakfast with another girl.

Scumbag!

A thorough scumbag!

If it weren’t for the last bit of reason holding her back, Zheng Jingjing would have wished to flip the table over.

"It really is just a coincidence."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

"Calm down, everyone is watching."

Guo Ran hurried over, grabbing Zheng Jingjing’s arm.

Her gaze towards Jiang Chen also began to turn somewhat peculiar.

Before, she had never doubted Jiang Chen’s "loyalty." Regarding the love letter incident, she also firmly believed Jiang Chen was just ghostwriting, but now she couldn’t help but waver.

Excuses like coincidence, of course, she didn’t buy.

Meeting in the cafeteria by chance was possible, but if they weren’t close, with so many empty tables around, why would they sit together?

Could it be that Jiang Chen and this school-renowned junior had something fishy going on between them?

"You guys go buy breakfast first."

Li Shuru walked over with a calm demeanor, in contrast to the indignant Zheng Jingjing, she seemed more like an outsider.

"I won’t."

Zheng Jingjing refused to leave, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen as if she wouldn’t rest until he gave an explanation.

"All right, let Shu Rui handle this."

Xu Siyi, ever so astute, gave Guo Ran a look and together they pulled Zheng Jingjing away.

After the three girls left, Li Shuru calmly sat down next to Jiang Chen.

The atmosphere eased, yet an indescribable sense of awkwardness still lingered in the air.

Luo Li’er continued to focus on eating her noodles.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but wonder if this girl was an ostrich.

"Actually, I knew Luo junior before I ghostwrote the love letter for Luo Peng."

Jiang Chen knew that the excuse of coincidence wouldn’t hold, so he chose to be honest.

"How long ago was that?"

Li Shuru asked, her voice light, devoid of any trace of emotion.

"It was that day when we returned from showing the apartment to auntie and I accidentally hit Luo junior while driving into the school because I was distracted."

Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise couldn’t help but appear on Li Shuru’s pretty face, and her gaze shifted involuntarily from Luo Li’er to Jiang Chen.

"Really."

Jiang Chen said awkwardly: "Fortunately, Luo junior wasn’t seriously hurt and didn’t hold it against me."

Li Shuru fell silent for a while, seemingly taking her time to digest this surprising information.

"Why didn’t you tell me about this before?"

"It’s not exactly something to be proud of."

Li Shuru shifted her gaze back to Luo Li’er.

The other party was almost finished with her bowl of braised noodles.

"Luo junior."

Li Shuru called out.

The girl who knew very well how to keep herself out of trouble finally looked up, apparently having had her fill and finally put down her chopsticks.

"It’s true what Jiang senior said."

It was obvious.

She wasn’t deaf; she must have heard everything Zheng Jingjing said just now.

"I know."

Their eyes met, and Li Shuru smiled faintly, "Thank you for not pursuing Jiang Chen’s responsibility."

This tone.

Why did it sound a little odd?

Luo Li’er glanced at Jiang Chen, "You guys talk, I’m off to class."

After saying that, she stood up and left the cafeteria.

Once Luo Li’er left, the atmosphere sank into heaviness again.

"She really is quite beautiful."

Li Shuru spoke softly, with a meaning that was hard to discern.

Jiang Chen didn’t take the bait rationally and quickly changed the subject.

"The matter you mentioned has already been clarified."

"I know, those comments have all been deleted. Do you know the management at Xingkong?"

Li Shuru wasn’t someone petty, she didn’t dwell on Luo Li’er’s issue.

"I don’t know them, but someone in my family does."

After all, Li Shuru already believed his family background was not simple, and if anything was unclear, he could just attribute it to that.

"The mastermind behind the scenes has also been found, it’s Ling Shiqi."

Li Shuru was stunned for a moment. Although somewhat surprised, she didn’t say anything.

"She should contact you later to offer a public apology."

Even though Jiang Chen spoke lightly, Li Shuru couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming power and influence in his words.

In just one day’s time.

The countless nasty comments disappeared all at once, and a million-follower net idol made a public apology.

Who exactly is the toad, and who is the ugly duckling?

"There’s no need for an apology."

Li Shuru shook her head.

"Why not?"

Jiang Chen, out of character, showed a forceful side, "Everyone must take responsibility for their actions. If you’re not satisfied, then let her never appear on the internet again."

Li Shuru was taken aback.

She clearly understood Jiang Chen’s meaning—if she wasn’t ready to let things go, he would ban Ling Shiqi.

If anyone else had heard this, they would have laughed at Jiang Chen’s boastful words, but Li Shuru knew he might not be lying.

Being able to prompt Xingkong’s officials to take down comments for her, a insignificant broadcaster, and banning Ling Shiqi was nothing more than a simple task for them.

To Xingkong, a million-follower net idol like Ling Shiqi and a small broadcaster like her really weren’t much different.

From once being dismissive, to treating someone with respect, and now looking up to them.

Li Shuru’s pride was gradually shattered in the process of looking upwards.

Even if she sailed with the wind and achieved a million, or ten million fans, what then?

In the eyes of certain groups, she was still insignificant, like an ant crawling on the ground— at best, she was just a stronger ant.

A woman’s love may indeed stem from looking up, but when the difference between the two becomes too great, this love can also change.

She admitted that now, she liked Jiang Chen, but a question began to grow unavoidably in Li Shuru’s heart.

Did she have the ability to control such a man?

She felt a sense of confusion she had never known before.

Or to describe it more accurately.

It was inferiority.

"Like this, you finally seem a bit like a super-rich playboy."

Li Shuru said with a self-deprecating smile.

"But it seems that you don’t actually regard me as some super-rich playboy. The kick you gave me in bed the night before last, it hurt quite a bit."

Jiang Chen teased.

Suddenly, Li Shuru’s cheeks turned crimson—it was one thing to act on impulse then, but now it was another thing altogether.

"You deserve it!"

She clenched her teeth, her cheeks as rosy as blossoming flowers, and the strange mood she felt just moments ago was swept away.

At a nearby table, Guo Ran and her two friends, who had purchased their breakfast and were covertly watching, were dumbfounded.

She made up with him so quickly?

"Shuru, you silly girl!"

Zheng Jingjing slammed the table and stood up.

"What are you doing?"

"I can’t let Shuru be deceived by Jiang Chen, that heartless playboy! I’m now realizing that this guy has always been pretending to be weak. He’s a bastard who plays with people’s feelings!"

Guo Ran hastily grabbed her.

"Don’t be more anxious than the emperor’s eunuchs. Do you think Shuru is less smart than you? This is a matter between the two of them, let’s not get mixed up in it."
