Chapter 467: He Who Strikes First Prevails At 1.30 pm in the afternoon, a group of people walked out of Principal Cao’s office. As the parents apologized, Ye Jian and Yao Jing left the office. They returned to the classroom at two o’clock while the adults continued to sit in the office. Out of the office building, Yao Jing glanced coldly at Ye Jian and her usual smile disappeared from her face. “I’ve underestimated you. You’re much smarter than Ye Ying.” Never ever try to provoke anyone who was smart and knew themselves well... She was careless! “I’ve never used my intelligence to deal with my classmates. You were the one who came knocking on my door today. I’ve never been a tolerant person. If you dare to provoke or insult me, I will return the favor back!” Ye Jian was not overbearing or haughty, but she had an overwhelming aura. Even though she had said it lightly, her words made Yao Jing’s heart tremble. Raising her eyebrows, the prideful Yao Jing snorted softly and chuckled, “That’s right. You’re not tolerant. That’s why you provoked Luo Ran that little tyrant. Wait for it, Ye Jian. I don’t need to do anything and someone will get back at you.” Luo Ran was indeed a lurking peril. She didn’t need Yao Jing’s reminder to know that. After leaving the office, they parted ways. Ye Jian took a shortcut back to the classroom and saw several students crowding around An Jiaxin. They were talking about something. “Ye Jian, are you okay?” A student saw her and immediately got up from the desk with a worried look. “Did Yao Jing’s parents make things difficult for you?” It had only been a month, but Ye Jian and the rest of the classmates had established a friendship. Although it wasn’t strong yet, they were still willing to stand up for her when she had difficulties. The corners of her lips curved up and her bright eyes looked at the student who cared about her. “It’s okay. It was Yao Jing’s fault to begin with. And Principal Cao and Mrs. Tong were present. I’m fine.” “It’s just that I didn’t accept Yao Jing’s apology because my anger hasn’t subsided. I don’t want to forgive her so easily.” Rather than let Ye Ying twist the truth and say that she was narrow-minded, Ye Jian decided to explain it directly. So that even if Ye Ying found out about anything from Yao Jing, she would not be able to make irresponsible and sarcastic remarks. It is apparent that Yao Jing was definitely much smarter than Ye Ying in today’s confrontation. She might even have seen through Ye Ying’s ulterior motives and true colors. They were just using each other, that’s all. After all, Ye Ying’s grades were much better! However, Yao Jing was smart. When she harmed people, she would never jump out and show others how powerful or great she was. She would instead, hide behind the curtains and let the others do the dirty work. She wanted to use Ye Ying and Ye Ying wanted to continue having a good relationship with her. Even if she was unwilling to, she could only be used... It was absolutely possible for both of them to collude and spread rumors and gossip about it. It wasn’t Ye Jian’s wild guess but the previous life experiences that she had exchanged for with her life. She knew Ye Ying’s true colors. Her classmates all agreed with Ye Jian’s approach. If it was them, they would not have forgiven Yao Jing easily too. Ye Ying had asked for medical leave, saying that her chest was hurting and she needed to go to the hospital. Everyone in the class knew that she had ‘heart disease’ and she didn’t usually ask for leave. Now that something had happened, she took a medical leave. Who would believe her?
