Chapter 654: Chapter 652: Kind Father 31
"No connections at all?" Li Feiwei was quite surprised by this result, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, that’s it. No need to worry about this matter anymore."
The Ma Family had completely collapsed, and the crimes committed by Ma Zihou were exposed, leading to a fate of spending the rest of his life in prison. Even if he had any designs on senior, they wouldn’t succeed. With him around, no one dared to target senior.
As for why Mrs. Ma approached senior, Li Feiwei vaguely felt something was off, but it didn’t matter, so he decided not to delve into it.
After that day, Ah Chen never saw Mrs. Ma again.
With Chen Yijia around, she learned that Mrs. Ma was sent to a mental institution by the Ma Family.
The Ma Family completely fell apart, and the fight for the remaining assets led to further disintegration.
The people whom Ma Zihou had harmed originally came to seek justice, and without Mrs. Ma’s help, Ma Zihou was soon detained, with imprisonment certain.
His lackeys naturally couldn’t escape either, each one getting caught.
They didn’t want to drag Ah Chen down, but they had no evidence, and they were afraid of ending up like Mrs. Ma, sent to a mental institution.
Up to now, Mrs. Ma hadn’t been able to escape from the mental institution; getting out in the future would be even harder.
Actually, Ah Chen wasn’t afraid of what they might say, after all, they truly couldn’t find any evidence.
Who would believe them? People would just think they were crazy, having done too many guilty things, leading to psychological issues.
"Ran Chen." During break time, while there were few people in the classroom, Jiang Fang came to Ah Chen with a complex expression.
Ah Chen looked up. Since the online uproar, Jiang Fang frequently watched her, showing some apology and guilt on his face. But she wasn’t the commissioner, and Jiang Fang’s behavior was a bit too late.
Looking at Jiang Fang with calm eyes, Ah Chen waited for his next words.
Jiang Fang hesitated, then said somewhat uncomfortably, "I’m sorry for before, I didn’t know all that, if I had known earlier..."
Before he could finish, Ah Chen interrupted, "That’s not a reason for you to interfere with my friendships."
Jiang Fang’s face turned pale. Just as Wen Zhixi said, she despised his actions. Whether or not he knew about Wei Yue’s true nature or the inside story of the Ran Family, what he’d done before was enough to make Ran Chen dislike him.
"Ran Chen, I’m sorry. I apologize for my previous behavior. It won’t happen again." Jiang Fang was sincere, "So can we still be classmates, be friends? Can you not hate me so much?"
His tone was pleading. If this was impossible, let alone any other kind of relationship.
"We’re strangers, yet you forced me to be friends with Wei Yue, don’t you think that’s excessive?"
"I don’t know your motive, but it’s certainly not for my benefit. Most likely, somehow it benefits you."
"Now your reason for forcing me to be friends with Wei Yue doesn’t hold up, so you think a couple of light apologies can clear it, and you can still be friends with me, Jiang Fang, you have quite the face. If not for the previous online storm, you’d still think not being friends with Wei Yue is a fault? You still haven’t realized how much inconvenience your actions can cause others."
"So I’ll answer your question, yes, we’re classmates, but I don’t want to be friends with you."
"Senior year is approaching, Jiang Fang, you should put away any inappropriate thoughts, don’t disturb my studies. Whatever you’re thinking is your business, no one else’s, but please don’t come spreading it in front of me. It’s very rude to casually affect others."
Jiang Fang, his face drained of color, didn’t know what he even said afterward, or how he returned to his seat.
There weren’t many people in the classroom, but Ah Chen’s voice was loud enough that everyone there could hear the comment.
Ever since the online incident, the classmates understood Ah Chen’s coldness toward Wei Yue, even thinking that if they were in Ran Chen’s position, they probably wouldn’t handle it any better; they might even be unable to resist taking action.
The classmates who stayed in the classroom couldn’t help but reflect after hearing Ah Chen’s words, increasingly feeling that Jiang Fang’s forcing others to be good with Wei Yue was quite disgusting.
Chen Yijia, who was right by Ah Chen’s side, spat lightly, then glanced up suddenly, noticing Li Feiwei outside the window, and nudged Ah Chen, "A freshman is here."
Although she didn’t know how Li Feiwei got acquainted with Ah Chen, in Chen Yijia’s eyes, Li Feiwei was an honest kid easily bullied.
Ah Chen glanced at Li Feiwei, then stood up and walked out.
Li Feiwei had actually been there for a while, coincidentally hearing Jiang Fang’s words. He was furious at first, but after senior said those words, his anger was mostly extinguished, though a portion of it remained targeted at Jiang Fang.
Young master of the Jiang Family seemed quite naive.
Heard he’s an only child too.
Such a big Jiang Family, if it ended up in Jiang Fang’s hands, could he really manage it?
Li Feiwei lowered his gaze, thinking if there were issues originally, seizing the opportunity to add fuel to the fire seemed only right. Business is like war, can’t blame Jiang Fang for lacking ability.
There was also Wen Zhixi beside him, not sure if he’d lend a hand.
Wen Zhixi was pretty clever; if the Wen Family ended up in his hands in the future, there shouldn’t be any big problems. But with such major involvement of interests, if Jiang Fang couldn’t establish himself, there wouldn’t be much Wen Zhixi could do; he couldn’t drag Wen Family down as well.
With wolves circling, if Jiang Fang faltered, those eyeing the Jiang Family weren’t just one or two, Wen Zhixi couldn’t handle it all.
"What are you thinking?" Ah Chen waved a hand in front of Li Feiwei, seeing him lost in thought, thinking he might be planning something bad.
"Was that guy bullying senior earlier?" Li Feiwei asked.
Ah Chen smiled, "Don’t bother about it too much. He’s just someone overly sentimental, likes to meddle. If he understands human words, he won’t come bother again."
Jiang Fang was a rich young master with his own dignity; after hearing what she’d said, he’d have no face to approach her again.
"Oh!" Li Feiwei naturally understood, not entangling himself in this matter, he took out a test paper to consult Ah Chen.
Jiang Fang also noticed Li Feiwei outside the classroom; seeing his honest appearance beside Ah Chen, he couldn’t help but bang the table.
He planned to get up but recalled Ran Chen’s earlier words, and sat back down, staring at the door.
"Is there really no chance at all?" Jiang Fang said somewhat dejectedly, not knowing if his deskmate Wen Zhixi heard him.
Up till now, he found himself more and more unable to let go of Ran Chen.
Wen Zhixi had long been alerted, glanced outside the window quickly, then withdrew his gaze, "You’ve already made yourself annoying, there’s no point in approaching now. Better study well, maintain your usual standard, especially in physics. Don’t forget, there’s still the competition coming up, don’t let these messy things interfere with the recommendation."
"Talking about these things now is premature. If there’s fate, you’ll have the skills in the future to pursue whatever you wish."
