Not Good With Each Other

Except for Jin Zedong who had his eyes glance at Lu Zixin's direction like he was too conscious of Lu Zixin's existence, the others attention were prone on Chen Ziyi. Lu Zixin also noticed how Jin Zedong seemed uncomfortable around him after he said he know them, but he only shrugged, brushing him off.

Linna and few others seemed to not stepping much into the fights, thus it would mean the show was between the bracelet girl with the group facing her, and Linna and her group were only trying to ease the situation?

Hmm~ If looking from his view, it was like the bracelet girl was facing two boy and a girl who embraced one of the two boy's arm who seemed hostile towards the bracelet girl. The rest were seemed like extra cast, so they can be ignored.

At one point of view, if any person came to see this scene, they might think that the bracelet girl did something to the pitiful little girl and the boy might just want to avenge the girl. However, Jiang Jingguo was not that fool to not discern the situation properly.

Comparing a girl who was clearly in poor state with a swollen mark on her left cheek, tears that seemed had dried, hand seemed tried to protect something, but still tried to stand strong with her delicate body, with another girl who was at a glance appeared pitiful but obviously no scrape or bruise on her body, who would be so thick-head to not catch on such details.

Screening the situation in front of him again, he could not help but wonder, what is this mess's causes and effect? What kind of fight that would lead to a young girl getting a hit? This is kids fight, right?

"Nothing much, big brother. Please do not mind us. This is just a small fight between siblings. We are very sorry for the brusque sight. It.. was just my sister-", Stuttered, Zheng Shuyu, with her pitiful and pale face, started to explain the situation.

With her fingers clutched the tip of her dress, Zheng Shuyu wore a sweet smile and the smile turned weak as she was telling her stories, as if she was trying to say she was alright despite of how badly she was treated. Her eyes would sometimes timidly glance forth and back between Chen Ziyi''s direction and her brother, and she did not forget to gave a wry laugh in-between her storytelling.

Jiang Jingguo however did not listen much of what Zheng Shuyu said although his eyes fell on her first. He could not help to do so since Zheng Shuyu was the one who talked to him first. He noticed how Ren Linna and he friends wore upset expression, looking at Zheng Shuyu.

Zheng Haozu's group too wore upset expression but it was for Zheng Shuyu's attempt to apologize on their behalf. It was like it was their fault for this fight happen. Although they were the ones who started it, they would not want to admit it, thus sorrowfully looked at Chen Ziyi with grief and discontent.

"Bracelet girl. Is that true?" Jiang Jingguo asked Chen Ziyi.

When Jiang Jingguo's eyes glanced to Chen Ziyi's group while Zheng Shuyu still explaining things, Zheng Shuyu thought he was looking at Chen Ziyi with scowling and disgusting. So she daringly said, "But, it's okay, big brother. My brother seemed snapped a bit and slapped her already to educate her."

"Bracelet girl, is that true?" Jiang Jingguo asked Chen Ziyi with his causal yet firm expression. As an adult, to save a situation, he could not simply side on which party involved so he asked Chen Ziyi after Zheng Shuyu took her own initiative to 'explain' the situation.

In fact, it was more on Zheng Shuyu tried to make others to choose to believe her story more on Chen Ziyi's. By telling the first side of the situation, it would be difficult for people to believe the second. However, it would not applied to Jiang Jingguo since he know Chen Ziyi first and he was familiar with Ren Linna. As if he would bully Ren Linna's friends.

Chen Ziyi and her group looked at Zheng Shuyu with ridicule look and Zheng Haozu saw that. His fist was clenching hard and reddened holding his furious feelings towards Chen Ziyi. "Which part, mister?" Chen Ziyi asked with her casual yet polite tone.

"Did he hit you?" Hearing that question, Chen Ziyi nodded slowly. She too want to end this soon. She did not want to have Zheng Shuyu enter into her sight or to listen to her voice anymore.

"Her story?" Pouted, Chen Ziyi shook her head, making Zheng Shuyu feel awkward.

Looking at that, Zheng Haozu became more furious and boiling hard. Jiang Jingguo ignored the reddened Zheng Haozu and Zheng Shuyu who appeared shock at him brushing her off.

Zheng Shuyu thought Jiang Jingguo would believe her and scornfully scold Chen Ziyi for being unbelievable and blamed her. She subconsciously clenched her tiny fist hard which later embraced by Zheng Haozu who noticed her stiffened look.

Zhen Shuyu then showed her vulnerable and pitiful smile to Zheng Haozu. Her face looks like she endured the sad feelings for her explanation to not be heard by Jiang Jingguo.

"Then, what happened?"

"Part of what she said was true. I provoked him but I did not expect he would really hit me."

"But, mister, it wasn't me who started the fight. After you return my bracelet, they were the one who came to me. She was the one who called my name first, pretending like they were bumping into me, then-"

"Wait! Pretend? How would you know that she was pretending?" With Jiang Jingguo asked Chen Ziyi to explain on her side, Ren Linna, Lu Zixin and Han Meirong were also listening to them, getting the full story.

"Isn't it because we are not good with each other? My relationship with them was never good. Mister, why would I want to meet with people who are mean to me? I would go to my friends already if she didn't talk to me. There's no need to fight or cause a ruckus here."

"If I don't like someone, I would simply ignore that people's presence, what more to greet them. As long as they do not directly implicate me or interfere with my path, why would I complicated my life with them. She, however, called my name and made the others came to me. The next moment they came to me, they already started attacking me."

Chen Ziyi did not intend to keep silent of the actual event. She did not know if the adult man would believe her, but being upright is a must when she was in not wrong. In this life this time, she would not let others trample her with fake story and lies.

"Tian Qisong and the others were badmouthing my mother and provoking me first. They simply hate me being silent and for ignoring them. I don't like them, why would I want to talk to them. Then my friends came to help me get out of the situation. My friends tried in a proper manner since that was the way their parents educate them. But they still did not want to let it go."

"My brother scolded me for not greeting him and not properly introduce him to my friends. But just like I said, we are not in good terms with each other and my friends know that. Why would I want to introduce him to my friends? Tell me, mister. Am I wrong to do that? I know that you adults would teach us to be good and maintain a good relationship with others regardless of situation. You called them as 'network' or 'connection'. However, that doesn't mean I should maintain one with someone that I don't think I could have a good term with, right?" Chen Ziyi asked Jiang Jingguo.

"Yes. Even we the adult also have people that we're not good with, and we would just brushed it off as long as they don't look for a fight with us. I couldn't agree more with you. But he is your brother?"

"Brother or not. He's never been good to me. It's painful thing for me to share about him to my friends. How should I introduce him? I can't proudly introduced him as my brother to which later he embarrassed me in front of my friends. It will make my friends awkward."

"So.. why the girl fell on the floor? You pushed her? or is it a payback for you getting hit?" Jiang Jingguo asked Chen Ziyi with his interrogating tone. His role started to become like a teacher who tried to arbitrate a student's fight case.

"Oh, Of course not. I'm not that low to payback with something like that."

Jiang Jingguo gazed at Chen Ziyi with his still stern eyes, implying he was waiting for the answer.

"it was a reflex." Crossed her arm over her chest, Chen Ziyi nonchalantly said.
