CHAPTER 128: CHAPTER 128: THE DEFAULT FIANCÉE

The incident of Ningwan hitting Zhang Meimei quickly spread in the circle.

A lot of people prepared to see Ningwan’s joke, knowing how arrogant Zhang Meimei’s character is. Everyone in Jiangcheng knows how protective Zhang Wenchi and Feng Qi are of their kids.

A clash between the Zhan Family and the Zhang Family would be a fierce battle; just thinking about it makes people excited.

But surprisingly, there was no reaction from the Zhang Family.

Not only did Zhang Wenchi remain silent, but even Feng Qi was quiet, seemingly swallowing the insult.

"Ningwan."

Leng Ziqing called Ningwan at school.

Ningwan raised her eyebrows.

Every time Leng Ziqing saw her, it was like she owed him eight million, and he practically ignored her at school.

What was going on today?

He actually initiated a greeting.

"What’s up?"

"Did you hit Zhang Meimei?" Leng Ziqing asked.

Ningwan nodded: "Yes, what about it?"

"Although it hasn’t been publicly announced, it’s basically acknowledged that she is my fiancée," Leng Ziqing said.

Ningwan: "..."

"So, are you planning to avenge her?"

It turned out that Leng Ziqing’s childhood sweetheart was Zhang Meimei all along.

Zhang Meimei and Wu Taotao...

No matter how you look at it, Taotao is better, right?

Leng Ziqing must be blind to like Zhang Meimei and not their Taotao.

"I wanted to thank you; you did well hitting her," Leng Ziqing said seriously.

Ningwan: "..."

"You don’t like her?"

"Do you think I should like her?"

"But you said she’s your acknowledged fiancée."

"Acknowledged by my mom; my mom likes her, and my mom and her mom are best friends."

So that’s why.

"Since you don’t like Zhang Meimei, do you like our Taotao?" Ningwan asked.

Leng Ziqing’s face stiffened, and he said angrily, "I’m talking about Zhang Meimei, why bring up Wu Taotao?"

"Wu Taotao likes you; it’s so obvious. You can’t not see it, right?" Ningwan said.

Leng Ziqing’s face turned even darker, and he nodded with a stern face: "I’m not blind."

"Since you see it, what’s your point? Like her or not? Give that girl a straight answer. If you like her, let her have hope. If not, let her give up early. Is it fun to keep her dangling like this, making her spin around like a puppy?" Ningwan said righteously.

Leng Ziqing said with a grim face: "This is between us; you don’t need to worry about it."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Ningwan sighed lightly.

Does he like her or not?

Or does he not even understand his own feelings?

It’s really frustrating.

"Ning Zi, I might need to go to your house tonight."

In the classroom, Jin Yingzi cautiously said to Ningwan.

Ningwan was surprised: "What’s up?"

Jin Yingzi bit her lip and said softly, "Old Mrs. Zhan called me, asking me to go to your house to give her a massage. Ning Zi, don’t misunderstand; it’s just a massage. Last time, Old Mrs. Zhan said I gave good massages, so she had Mrs. Chen call me."

"Oh, then go ahead! It’s hard work for you, we’ll go back together after school," Ningwan said.

Jin Yingzi said, "No need; Mrs. Chen said she’ll send a car to pick me up. Ning Zi, you’re not mad?"

"Why would I be mad?" Ningwan said, "You’re helping our family’s Old Lady with a massage; I’m happy, there’s no way I’d be mad. Even though I know a bit about medicine, I haven’t learned much about massage. You making our Old Lady happy, I should thank you."

"Ning Zi, you truly are... a kind-hearted and pure person," Jin Yingzi said gratefully.

Ningwan smiled and said, "Very few people compliment me as being kind-hearted and pure."

Mentioning Divine Doctor Bai Zhi makes many people grit their teeth.

Because Divine Doctor Bai Zhi’s fees are bizarre, and not everyone can afford them.

"Why? You are kind-hearted and pure," Jin Yingzi said.

Ningwan didn’t explain further to her.

At this moment, she saw Wen Jianan moving past with a large stack of books.

She immediately turned around and said to the boy behind her, "Look at the class monitor carrying so many books alone, so hard. Go help out."

The boy looked up, reluctantly got up to help.

He muttered sotto voce, "Nosy."

"Ning Zi, you seem quite attentive to the class monitor recently, always helping him," Jin Yingzi said.

Ningwan was taken aback, immediately said, "Sucking up to the class monitor is necessary, isn’t it? It’s almost the end of the term; I’m counting on him to give me a good grade."

"But, are you someone who cares about grades?" Jin Yingzi asked in confusion.

Ningwan pushed her face away: "Focus on your book, don’t ask so much."

Jin Yingzi had to bury her head in her book.

However, the final exams were coming up, and their Traditional Medicine Department had a social practice activity.

Their social practice was different from other departments’.

Other departments might go out to experience life, eat and drink, like the Design Department, which might go see a design show.

But their Traditional Medicine Department’s social practice was to go to the wilderness to gather herbs.

After identifying herbs in class for so long, they had to personally go to the wilderness to find some to pass the course.

There was a Lao Mountain near Jiangcheng.

Lao Mountain was desolate, with steep mountains, and remained in a wild ecological state.

So there were many rare medicinal herbs in the mountain, most of which were wild, very suitable for gathering.

Professor Wen naturally wouldn’t lead the class personally but found a teaching assistant to take them there.

With the time set, the school arranged for a bus to take them, telling them to bring their luggage as they might have to stay overnight.

A two-day, one-night practice course, to be honest, many students were quite looking forward to it.

Their class had a small number of students, so they mixed with another class.

However, with the two classes combined, there were many boys but only five girls.

After returning home, Ningwan told Zhan Hanjue about this.

The man frowned, his face full of displeasure: "Two days and one night? You have to stay there overnight? Can’t you come back home?"

Ningwan said, "The activity is two days long, and Lao Mountain isn’t too far or too close to Jiangcheng. Going back and forth takes too much time, and there’s a hotel at the foot of Lao Mountain. Every previous class’s social practice was spent there."

"I’ll let Wu pick you up; you can rest on the way, it won’t delay your rest time," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ningwan said, "No way, there are only two girls in our class, and with the other class, there are only five girls altogether. If I don’t stay there, Yingzi will be left alone, and she would feel lonely."

"I would also feel lonely."

Zhan Hanjue said with a grim face and discontent.

Could it be that his position in her heart isn’t as significant as a classmate?

"Why are you jealous of Yingzi?"

Ningwan chuckled, unable to help herself, went over and sat on his lap, two jade-like arms hooked around his neck.

With a smile, she kissed his cheek lightly, coquettishly pleaded, "Please let me go, just one night. I’m a student; I need to follow the rules."
