85. Starstruck

Amidst the middle of condemn and protection, Li Zhilan voiced out for the first time.

Her voice had neither fear nor nervousness. It was cool with a hint of laziness but if listened to well, one could even find a touch of ridicule in her voice.

''Are you done?''

Shocked by her voice, all the murmuring and shouts came to an abrupt stop.

''If you are done with your one sided monologue, can I start sharing what's on my mind?'' Li Zhilan appeared very carefree and distant as if she wasn't the one being scolded a while back. Seeing how composed she was, the ones who supported her felt happy while the rest started to change their mind.

''I guess Li Zhilan never really did say anything at all.''

''Were we being led by our nose?''

''Are you coming to your sense right now.''

''Exactly. Did you finally realize how much of a fool you were?''

While the two sides were starting to lean in one direction, that is to Li Zhilan's side, Si Yanyang made a move again to bring it back to how it was.

''Orchid, even though you are poor and don't have enough money to spend, you don't have to steal right. If you really need money that badly, I could give you some. I promise I would help you to the best of my ability afterall you are Longwei's friend.'' With that innocent and pure smile, Si Yanyang really looked like an angel.

With that talk, Si Yanyang once again turned the opinion in her favor. She made Li Zhilan look like a poor money minded person while at the same time she made herself appear generous and kind. It was like shooting down two birds with one stone.

Seeing how everyone was once again against Li Zhilan, Si Yanyang moved her gaze towards Qi Longwei's direction. She wanted to see contempt and disgust in his eyes but all she saw was lovestruck Qi Longwei who was looking at Li Zhilan with starstruck eyes.

Those eyes never changed in all these years. It was still the same as when she first saw him. It was still the same as when she heard him talk about his girl for the first time. It was those same eyes filled with love. Neither the person nor the love contained in those eyes changed. Not one tineey weeny bit.

Just when Si Yanyang was about to speak more a loud voice boomed in the hallway shaking everyone out of their minds.

''Who said that my Muffin had to steal for some nonexistent money?''
