Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 78 Just Bear With It a Little Longer
Xia Yaoyao was clearly provoked by Qin Zhao's cold attitude: "Jiang Ye, are you going to treat me like this too?"

She waited in this mall every day with hope, hoping to run into her and have her lend a hand.

She was colder than a stranger!

“I understand how you feel, but the people you should confide in are your parents, friends, or even Jiang Yan, not me.”

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids: "I can't help you. I made it very clear last time that our relationship hasn't reached that point."

"If it weren't for you, would I be in this situation now!" Xia Yaoyao said, her voice filled with emotion and resentment. "If it weren't for you, Jiang Yan and Jiang Yu would never have noticed me, and I would still be studying properly! You say it's okay and it's okay?"

Qin Zhao's calm eyes finally showed a hint of emotion: "Is your current predicament my fault?"

"Did I make you date Jiang Yan, did I make you sleep with him, or did I force him to get you pregnant?"

She called her name: "Xia Yaoyao, when you first tricked me into coming to them, I told you that they were no good, and to stay away from them, did you listen?"

Xia Yaoyao knew she was in the wrong and could only sob, "Jiang Ye, we're best friends, you can't just abandon me."

"When they conspired to frame me and you stood by indifferently, when you used me as a tool to curry favor with them, when you saw me being beaten half to death by them, did you ever think that we were friends?"

Qin Zhao's tone could even be described as calm: "You have no obligation to stand on my side, and the word 'betrayal' is not quite appropriate. You have the option to choose the path that is best for you."

“But friends aren’t like that.” She lowered her eyes. “I have my friends now.”

They will stand up for her.

Even though she was the one who was injured, he seemed even more heartbroken than he was.

Xia Yaoyao's emotions were complicated, a mixture of guilt, jealousy, and resentment: "Yes, you're doing well now, you have new friends, and you can forget the past."

"But don't forget Jiang Ye, when you were injured and covered in bruises, it was me who bought you the medicine."

When you were so hungry you were about to faint, I shared my breakfast with you.

"Now that you've been recognized by your biological parents, you're happy. But what about me? Am I just supposed to die?!"

Qin Zhao: "You can discuss it with your parents."

"How can we discuss this?" Xia Yaoyao wiped away her tears. "Jiang Yan doesn't want to marry me. Even if I offer myself to him, no one will want me."

That place was so small that in no time everyone knew I was shameless and had been abandoned.

What do you think they'll say about me? Bitch, slut, unwanted secondhand goods!
My parents were being verbally abused, and our whole family became the subject of gossip. Even my parents would insult me.

Jiang Yan, at most, is also known for his womanizing ways.

"Rumors can kill people, haven't you seen it?" Xia Yaoyao said. "Going back would be like going to my death."

Qin Zhao curled his fingers slightly, noticing the bruise on her collarbone out of the corner of his eye.

Following her gaze, Xia Yaoyao casually tugged at her collar, looking at her with tears in her eyes: "Jiang Yan smashed it with a wine bottle."

"Did you call the police?"

Do you think it's useful?

Both of them fell silent. Xia Yaoyao then used a retreat as a tactic to advance: "I really have no right to ask for your forgiveness. I only came to you because I had no other choice."

I held my phone, scrolling through my contacts, but I didn't know who to call. I turned around and saw that, just like you used to be, there was no one behind me.

Perhaps this is my retribution.

She seemed heartbroken: "I'm sorry, Jiang Ye. I was so scared when they surrounded me. I didn't mean to betray you, I... I was too cowardly."

"As long as you're doing well, it's my turn to go to hell."

The silence was like a net, suffocating everyone.

After a while, Qin Zhao sighed: "Are you sure you're pregnant?"

"Hmm?" Xia Yaoyao reacted for a moment, touched her stomach, and looked a little embarrassed. "I took a pregnancy test, and I haven't had my period for almost two months."

"Didn't you go to the hospital?"

“He won’t go with me, I’m too scared to go by myself.” “Call your mother and ask her to go with you.” Qin Zhao’s tone was relatively calm. “If you’re afraid of being found out, go to a hospital in the next city.”

"You mean, I might not be pregnant?"

"I don't know, we'll find out after the test." She looked at her. "You can make the rest of the decision yourselves."

"I am leaving."

Xia Yaoyao quickly grabbed her and pleaded, "Can you come with me?"

Since things are already like this, she doesn't care if she feels even more embarrassed in front of her.

One of the reasons she sought out Jiang Ye was because she knew he wouldn't laugh at her or tell anyone else about her situation.

“I also have a younger sister and a younger brother. My parents favor boys over girls and only care about my brother. Before, when I dropped out of school to work, they were already very dissatisfied because I didn’t give them the money I earned. They said I was an ungrateful wretch and that they had raised me for nothing.”

"Besides, after this incident, it will be difficult to negotiate the bride price, and I will be of no value to them. They will only think I am a disgrace and will not care about me."

Her eyes filled with tears again as she spoke, and she tugged at Qin Zhao's arm: "Jiang Ye, if I had any other choice, I wouldn't have come to you."

"Please," she bit her lip, "just do me this one last time, okay?"

-

Lin Shi stared bitterly at the two people in the distance, muttering, "Jiang Ye, is that her original name?"

"That girl is crying so hard, there must be something going on."

"She even held Qin Zhao's hand!"

Lin Dacong, completely oblivious to the increasingly dark expression on the face of the person next to him, reasonably guessed, "His ex-girlfriend is asking to get back together?!"

He was elated by his own cleverness and turned to seek Shen Yanci's approval.

Then I saw Shen Yanci's sharp eyes and frighteningly cold face.

His jawline was taut, as if he was about to be thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw at any moment.

He paused for two seconds to reflect: "I don't think I've offended you, have I?"

He awkwardly withdrew his hand from his shoulder and quietly watched the commotion on Qin Zhao's side.

After a while, he couldn't help but speak again—

"Five minutes have passed, why are you still talking?"

Why is that girl pulling at her clothes?

Qin Zhao did not push her away.

"They're blocking the way, what are they doing?"

Are they kissing?

"Shut up."

Shen Yanci practically spat out those two words through gritted teeth.

He lowered his lips and lifted his eyelids slightly: "It's time to eat. Go and call her back."

Lin Shi gave an "oh," took a step forward, then pulled his foot back: "Isn't that inappropriate?"

His relationship with her had just improved, so why would he rush to her and cause her any trouble? "What if I bother her?"

He even went so far as to ask, "Are you that hungry?"

"Why don't you just bear with it a little longer?"

"..."
