Capítulo 1206: Chapter 795: Leverage
Third watch.
—————-
“What do you want from ?” Lin ngran frowned at Lin ngye, looking impatient. When Lin ngye blocked her on the road saying she wanted to talk, Lin ngran really couldn’t imagine anything good coming from it.
“I want to remind you not to disgrace the Lin Family…” Lin ngye looked at her indifferently, “After all, you are one of the candidates for the head of the Lin Family, and you act like a maid for others every day. If you’re not embarrassed, I am!”
Lin ngran sized her up and smiled, “Are you jealous of ? Why, seeing with so many good friends makes you uncomfortable?”
“Why would I be jealous of you? Can you look in the mirror before speaking?” Lin ngye gave her a disdainful look, “Why I don’t like you is because I hate seeing potential wasted.
Do us Lin family mbers need to bow to others? If Lin Chuxia truly treated you as a friend, would she act toward you like that? Of course, you might not listen to what I say, so why don’t you ask the other students how they perceive your relationship with Lin Chuxia.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re sucking up to her just for so food. If the Lin family wanted their children to enjoy themselves, how many houses can’t be bought here? Is there any need to latch onto other households for als?
Do you really think her current situation is enviable? Having married into a good family, she now acts like she’s so young lady. It’s fine now when she’s young and pretty, but after a few years and having kids, you’ll see her status at ho.
I’m telling you this as the responsible thing to do as your sister. I don’t want you to imitate her and regret it when it’s too late. Do you get that? Stop being oblivious every day!”
“Finished?” Lin ngran looked at her with a grin, “We’re only two years apart; we practically grew up together. Do you really think I don’t know your temper?
But what you did today made very happy. Alright, should I be grateful then?” As she spoke, she gracefully perford a bow, “Sister, thank you for making so happy, I’m truly grateful.”
Lin ngye waved her hand irritably, “Forget it, if you don’t listen, just wait and see who truly cares for you. Even sisters may fight, but they are blood-related. When real trouble cos, see who will actually be there for you.”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” Lin ngran winked at her, “Nothing else you want to say? If not, I’ll head back.”
Lin ngye felt a fire burning within her, fiercely glared at her sister, and left with large strides.
Smirking, Lin ngran also walked back.
It seed destined to be a disaster day for Lin ngye, as her anger hadn’t yet dissipated when Li Siyu ca looking for her, “Xiao Ye, I really want to help you, but my capability is limited. If I continue to help, I might end up ruining myself. I will definitely repay my debt to you, but I can’t do it in a self-destructive way. I hope you can understand.”
Lin ngye frowned at her, “I only asked you to catch her mistakes and give her minor troubles. What’s so difficult about that? You’re the teacher, she’s the student. It’s natural for a student to be punished by the teacher when she makes mistakes. How could that ruin you?”
“You’re oversimplifying it. Just this once, she already guessed it, and…” Li Siyu bit her lip, not daring to reveal Chuxia’s pregnancy. The leadership had specifically instructed that while teachers should be inford, it should not be spread privately.
Frankly speaking, knowing a student is pregnant yet still admitting her is wholly inappropriate. This is the main reason Li Siyu was willing to help Lin ngye, she greatly disliked students who leveraged family backgrounds to defy principles.
Moreover, in her view, if the opportunity was given to an unmarried, non-pregnant girl, it would benefit another talent. If Lin Chuxia didn’t want to miss the chance, she could simply audit, wait until after childbirth, and pursue higher education later.
“And what else?” Seeing Li Siyu standing there stunned and not continuing, Lin ngye pressed on, “If there’s sothing, just tell openly, stop hesitating!”
“There’s nothing.” Li Siyu looked at her, feeling annoyed inside. Yes, her mother’s life was saved with Lin ngye’s help, but the condescension every ti they spoke was grating.
“Li Siyu, this is getting pointless…” Lin ngye leaned back casually, “Even if I saved a dog, it would know how to be grateful.”
“I’ve done all I can, truly incapable of more. If you think I’m less than a dog, then so be it,” Li Siyu steeled herself, voicing her honest thoughts, “I’m grateful, but that doesn’t an I’m dumb. My mom rode in your car, but we gave money and gifts afterwards.”
“Fine, I must have been blind. Next ti, even if your mom dies in front of , I won’t send her to the hospital!” Lin ngye laughed coldly, “I think I should have a chat with Wang Yui.”
Li Siyu felt her blood rush to her head, her face turning beet red: “You… what do you an?”
“What do you think?” Lin ngye smiled at her, “People are all driven by self-interest. I’ll side with those who help , but if you don’t, why should I have your back?”
“Furthermore, knowing the truth yet watching the deceived person be grateful to the one who deceived them is unbearable for . To ease my conscience, I should talk to her.”
“I really have no choice…” Li Siyu stood up hastily and grabbed her, “Believe , as long as there is a chance, I will definitely help you.”
“Trying to play gas with ?” Lin ngye snorted coldly, “Too late! I already gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. So, what use is there in keeping you around now?”
“I’ll help you!” Li Siyu closed her eyes briefly, emphasizing once again, “I’ll help you.”
“That sounds more like it…” Lin ngye’s lips curled into a smile, “I don’t like any of them, they all act like saviors, ddling without understanding the situation, especially Lin Chuxia. If it weren’t for her, would I be this troubled?”
Indeed, if it weren’t for the prospect of the Zhou family’s power and the Lin Family of the Capital, would grandpa and uncle and aunt have those thoughts? Would grandma and mom be swayed?
Actually, she thought all the elders had brains filled with mud. If they genuinely wanted a powerful and capable man to marry into the Lin family, would he treat the Lin family as his own and contribute wholeheartedly?
Look at dad and uncle-in-law—aren’t they examples? Dad listens to mom about everything, always considering the Lin family because grandma’s family is just an ordinary family.
But uncle-in-law? He always places the Hu family’s interests first. At this point, she completely ignored why she herself wouldn’t just choose an ordinary man from an ordinary family…
“I will help to the end.” Li Siyu looked at her seriously, “But you also have to promise one thing, otherwise I’ll resign imdiately and go find Wang Yui.”
Lin ngye raised her eyebrows: “You want not to tell Wang Yui that you betrayed her, right?”
Biting her lip, Li Siyu looked at her: “I didn’t intentionally betray her. At the ti, my family’s situation forced to do it. If I had another chance, I definitely wouldn’t make the sa choice.”
“What’s the point of saying nice things?” Lin ngye’s eyes were full of mockery, “Do you think I would believe you? Neither you nor I have high moral standards, so let’s not deceive ourselves. It’s pointless.”
Li Siyu was rendered speechless by her retort. Yes, the deed was done, and now saying anything was futile. Although she regretted it and feared losing friends, if faced with the choice again, could she truly resist temptation?
She is now an envied university teacher.
Wang Yui is still an ordinary factory worker.
And in the future, their prospects will be worlds apart…
“There’s sothing you might have forgotten: if you resign now, or if I go to Wang Yui, your affair with Su Mingjie might as well be over. Are you willing to give it up?”
“You…”
“Yes, there’s nothing about you that I don’t know. Since I’ve decided to cooperate with you, I can’t be ignorant about you, right?” Lin ngye shrugged, “I wasn’t planning to bring it up, but you seem overly optimistic, so it’s better you know.”
Coming out of Li Siyu’s office, Lin ngye’s mood inexplicably improved. Maybe making others uncomfortable makes oneself a bit more comfortable?
Lin ngran naturally didn’t keep the conversation with Lin ngye from her friends, so when Lin ngye entered the classroom with a smile, a sense of inexplicable disgust arose among them.
Years later, for the first ti, new students were admitted to test the teachers’ capabilities. For now, class routines were similar to those in middle school, which ant spending most of the ti together in the sa class, unavoidable.
So, no matter how much they despised it, they still had to et every day, with no escape.
After classes for the day ended, Chuxia couldn’t find the opportunity to chat with Zuo Jiang. She thought about it and simply gave up; people from Zhou Mikang’s side certainly had found out the results. On her end, it’s neither here nor there, and she should refrain from giving classmates more to talk about.
Unexpectedly, as she and Lin ngran walked halfway, they ran into Zuo Jiang, who clearly appeared to be intentionally waiting for them.
“I need to talk to Lin ngran about sothing…” Seeing their surprised faces, Zuo Jiang proactively explained, “To avoid unnecessary trouble at school, I ca out to wait for you.” Then he awkwardly scratched his head, “I overheard you discussing who would accompany Chuxia ho today.” – He was referring to the schoolmates’ discussion about who would escort Chuxia ho today.
