Chapter 224
She Is From The Countryside
224 i wonât back down
â ye ning, iâve liked him for ten years, but i know that youâre the only one special in his heart. i was afraid that my last plan would fail, so i hid my feelings in my heart for ten years. i didnât even dare to show it when i met him. i only greeted him normally, afraid that he would see through my feelings and cut off my little thoughts. â
her eyes reddened even more as she spoke.
âye ning, i know i canât win against you, but i canât give up just like that.â
Song Meilian didnât know what to say. She was in a complicated mood. This wasnât how she had imagined her to deal with her love rival.
it could only be said that ye chengcheng was indeed someone who had been praised by her elders since she was young.
She was very smart and saw things very clearly.
she did have deep feelings for jing xuan.
I want to fight for myself, but the process might not look good. But ye ning, youâre back. I really donât have any other way.
â this is your freedom and your right. sheâs just your cousin, so i wonât back down. â
âi wonât back down either,â ye chengcheng said.
but I wonât pester you. Iâll only fight for it once. If it still doesnât work, Iâll give up and wonât bother you anymore.
He was Frank and direct. He even told them in advance that the process of the competition might not look good.
Song Meilian had no reason to persuade her to give up. Just as she had said, this was ye Chengchengâs freedom and her right.
Song Meilian didnât say much, only saying,âI will not back down.â
âi didnât want you to give in, ye ning. iâm your cousin, and iâve been trying to find you all these years. youâve already said that you only have jing xuan. i wonât be so despicable as to force you to give in directly. iâm just telling you that iâll use my own way to fight for myself.â
âiâve been planning for years for this opportunity.â
Ye Chengcheng turned around and left.
After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at song Meilian,âye ning, are you going home?â
song meilian suddenly looked up at her, her eyes unconsciously red.
âIâve already said that Iâm still your cousin. Back then, I was still young and I couldnât help with your familyâs matters. Now, I can barely manage to have some say at home. I can still make the decision to have you at the familyâs dinner table.â
After looking at her for a while, song Meilian said,âthank you,â he said.
âbut thereâs no need for that.â
his thanks were sincere, and so was his rejection.
not to mention that they were only distant relatives who were not very close. even if they were not, she would not calmly enjoy the warmth given by the other party when she knew that the other party was her love rival and was very likely to be hurt in this relationship.
ye chengcheng didnât say anything more. after hearing her rejection, she looked at her again and turned to head back to the private room.
after walking a few steps, she saw shi yan standing in the corridor. ye chengchengâs footsteps paused for a moment, then she nodded slightly to shi yan as a greeting and entered the private room.
song meilian also saw shi yan.
he walked over to shi yan.
âi didnât expect this to happen,â he said to shi yan. it was as if she was looking for someone to vent to.
âDo you feel guilty and remorseful?â Shi Yan asked.
song meilian shook her head decisively. â i do pity you, but i donât feel guilty or blame myself. i fought for myself, for jing xuan and me. i didnât do anything wrong. â
â thatâs good enough. you donât have to worry about anything else. since ye chengcheng has made it clear to you, she should be doing her best. donât let your guard down just because youâre soft-hearted. â Shi Yan said.
She wasnât familiar with ye Chengcheng, so she didnât feel any sympathy for her. At most, she just felt a little sad from the perspective of a bystander.
song meilian was her friend, and she only cared about her.
âi wonât,â song meilian said.
âCompared to the others, Jing Xuan is more important. Iâve finally gotten over the hurdle in my heart, how can I give up just like that? Compassion can be moved, but it also depends on the situation.â
Iâm just a little emotional. Ye Chengcheng is a smart person, so why would she do something so stupid, knowing that the other party has someone in his heart and knowing that she would get hurt? â
â this is probably a feeling, â shi yan said. â if feelings can be controlled by people, there wonât be so many people in this world who are trapped by feelings. â

Xuan Siyun and ye Chengcheng left Haicheng University with mixed feelings.
on the other side, shi yan and the others who had just come out of the dining room, except for shi yan, who knew about the conversation between ye chengcheng and song meilian, were all thinking about the conversation between shi yan and xuan siyun at the dining table.
Jiang Rui thought for a while and couldnât help but ask, â âyan, what were you thinking? Why donât you just tell her about your relationship with my fifth uncle?â
Her words immediately made her three roommates âears perked up for gossip.
The relationship between Shi Yan and her fifth uncle?
What was their relationship?
could it not be as simple as shi yan falling in love with her fifth uncle at first sight?
Out of curiosity, one of Ren Kexinâs roommates approached her and whispered, â âWhatâs the relationship between Shi Yan and Rui âerâs fifth uncle?â
everyone was considered friends, and from what they saw today, they were all on the same side. ren kexin didnât hide anything and whispered, â âtheyâre a couple,â
Jiang Ruiâs three roommates were stunned.
So that Xuan Siyun was showing off to the main character?
Was it that exciting?
How would Xuan Siyun react when she found out the truth?
He would probably be so embarrassed that he would have to give her a big villa!
he said that shi yan wasnât the type that the other party liked, but he didnât know that shi yan was the other partyâs girlfriend!
Really, just thinking about that scene made them feel embarrassed for Xuan Siyun.
âNo matter what, this is the first time you two cousins are meeting. I canât be too disrespectful to your cousin.â shi yan answered jiang rui with a smile.
âHuahua.â Jiang Ruiâs mouth twitched.
âyan, do you think i believe you?â
She couldnât be too mean to Xuan Siyun, as she thought Yan was just trying to stir up trouble.
It was hard to believe that Yan didnât want to deal with the matter directly, but chose to play with him.
however, it showed how much yan cared about fifth uncle.
âI wonât ask you what you want to do. Iâll just watch the show. Yan, if you need our cooperation, just tell me.â
Ren Kexin and the others immediately chimed in after Jiang Rui finished speaking.
âiâll tell you if i need anything,â shi yan smiled.
âbut xuan siyunâs really thick-skinned, if my fifth uncle is really her friend, iâll write my name backwards!â
the others didnât know her fifth uncle well and didnât have much to say. however, they felt that since they were in the same circle, the two might really know each other.
The main thing was that if they didnât know each other, no one would be stupid enough to say that they were old friends. It would be so easy to expose them.
of course, they wouldnât say it so directly to make shi yan feel uncomfortable.
âYan, did you go out to call my fifth uncle? what did he say?â
âi did call your fifth uncle, but i didnât mention it to him.â
âah?â
not only jiang rui, but the others were also confused.
âJudging from your fifth uncleâs personality, Iâm afraid heâll drive here directly if I really mention it to him,â Shi Yan said with a smile. Itâs a four-hour round trip from the Jiang familyâs old house to Haicheng University. Itâs not worth it to do it for Xuan Siyun.â
In fact, the main reason was that she felt there was no need to mention it.
Besides, even if she didnât mention it, Jiang che would have guessed it.
After he guessed it, he even explained it to her seriously without mentioning Xuan Siyun at all. It was clear that Xuan Siyun didnât have much weight in Jiang Cheâs eyes.
everyone,âhehe.â
it was as if he had accidentally been fed dog food.
