Chapter 224: The Past…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past, they were best friends and could eat, drink, and sleep together. They were like conjoined twins. However, everything changed on the day they started junior high school and that person appeared…

Dong Yuhao!

He was handsome, had good grades and a gentle personality. He also treated people well. His parents were teachers, and he came from a scholarly family. His character was also unquestionable.

It was hard not to like such a guy! Many girls in school liked him.

Jiaqi fell in love with him at first sight on the first day of junior high school.

They all knew about this matter; they even helped Jiaqi come up with ideas.

Dong Yuhao seemed to be quite concerned about Jiaqi, so they were all happy for her.

However, no one expected that on the day Jiaqi decided to tell Dong Yuhao about her feelings, he made a love confession to Mengjiao instead.

It turned out that the person he liked had always been Mengjiao. The reason why he was so close to Jiaqi was because she was good friends with Mengjiao; he wanted to get to know Mengjiao through her.

From that day onwards, Jiaqi changed. She started to distance herself from Jian Dan and Mengjiao. Not only that, she even spread rumors about Mengjiao and Dong Yuhao, causing those who liked Dong Yuhao to cause trouble for Mengjiao every day. Jian Dan would also suffer as she was very close with Mengjiao.

Because of this, Mengjiao had once told Jian Dan to stay away from her because she did not want Jian Dan to be bullied because of her. However, how could Jian Dan stay away from her because of such a thing?!

Jiaqi was Jian Dan’s best friend. Jian Dan never understood why Jiaqi would ignore her just because of Dong Haoyu.

It was only later that Jian Dan realized that everything was just her imagination…

In the end, Jiaqi did not just spread rumors about Mengjiao; she even started to accuse Mengjiao of stealing and Jian Dan of cheating.

Jian Dan and Mengjiao could forgive her for these, but she…

She did not know how Jiaqi got to know a group of gangsters. Jiaqi colluded with them to kidnap Jian Dan and Mengjiao… She had wanted the two of them to miss the College Entrance Examination so that she could get first place and get a spot to be an exchange student in America. However, those gangsters lusted after Mengjiao… That day, Mengjiao was almost defiled by them. If Xia Zijie had not arrived in time with the police, the consequences would have been unimaginable…

Mengjiao suffered a huge blow because of that incident, and Jian Dan was also despondent for a year because she was betrayed by her best friend.

Shen Jiaqi—on the other hand—got to be the exchange student in America as she wished…

From then on, Jian Dan and Mengjiao never saw Shen Jiaqi again…

They did not want to see her again…

The last time Jian Dan saw her at the market, she thought that it was just a coincidence. However, she did not expect her to appear at the class reunion…

Jian Dan subconsciously held Mengjiao’s hand tightly, wanting to tell her: Don’t be afraid. I’m here!

As she held Mengjiao’s hand, she could feel it trembling.

Jian Dan knew that other than fear, there was also sadness and anger!

“Hi, guys! Long time no see! How is everyone?”

Shen Jiaqi walked over to the table… “Jian Dan, Mengjiao, you’re here too. How have you been these past few years?”

Shen Jiaqi greeted them as if nothing had happened. It was so natural…

Jian Dan shielded Mengjiao behind her. “Thank you for your concern. Very good.”

“Is that so? That’s good!”

“Since everyone is here, let’s order!”

“Everyone, order whatever you want to eat. It’s my treat today.”

Shen Jiaqi sat beside Jian Dan.

“Shangfeng Hotel is very expensive. Jiaqi, you’re really generous now!”

“Yeah! Jiaqi was the one who chose this venue!” Zhao Zhao said.

“Jiaqi, you’re really different now. Your clothes are very beautiful. This watch must be very expensive, right?”

“It’s alright. It’s only 500,000 yuan.” Shen Jiaqi raised her chin and said arrogantly. Her gaze was directed at Jian Dan and Mengjiao.

When the others heard that Shen Jiaqi was rich now, they began to suck up to her. All kinds of flattering words kept piling on her!

Although this was how society was like, Jian Dan still felt disgusted when she saw this scene.

“Mengjiao, if you really want to walk out of that incident, this is an opportunity. Only by defeating yourself can you be free.” Jian Dan whispered into Mengjiao’s ear.

Mengjiao looked up at Jian Dan. Jian Dan looked at her and nodded firmly. She mouthed to her, “I’m here.”

Only then did Mengjiao smile…
