Chapter 139 - 139 More Lies
139 More Lies
Song Kai escorted Song Yin to the infirmary with a grim expression. However, even after the school doctor confirmed that Song Yin was physically fine, his mood didn’t lighten up.
As Song Yin reached out to grasp his arm, she implored, “Fourth Brother, I know I was wrong. I won’t fight anymore. Please don’t be angry with me.”
“Why did you react so strongly to the word ‘cheating’?” Song Kai fixed his gaze on Song Yin and continued, “Ting Ting’s words, though unpleasant, weren’t extreme enough to make you lose control like that.”
Song Yin hadn’t anticipated Song Kai dwelling on this matter and struggled to find a response.
Upon seeing her hesitation, Song Kai pressed on, saying, “I hope you can be honest with me.”
He believed that Song Yin had cheated in some academic or test-related matter, leading to her intense reaction.
With a heavy sigh, Song Yin decided that she couldn’t conceal the matter any longer. She made herself cry even more and looked up at Song Kai. “Fourth Brother, over the weekend, I was playing a game at home, and something happened in the game. That’s why I got so agitated.”
She recounted what had transpired between her and Song Ting, placing the blame on her friends in the game. In her eyes, she was not at fault; she had been deceived.
Upon hearing Song Yin’s explanation, Song Kai felt relieved. Fortunately, it was just an in-game issue, and Song Yin had already apologized for her actions.
Nonetheless, he had reprimanded Grassi in the game yesterday without suspecting that Grassi was actually Song Yin.
“Since this matter is in the past, let’s not dwell on it,” Song Kai advised. “You won’t be able to play ‘Future City’ anymore, so consider it a valuable lesson.”
While Song Yin outwardly agreed, she harbored a deep resentment. If not for the game, she wouldn’t have acted so recklessly. She regretted making a spectacle of herself during her fight with Ting Ting just now.
“Fourth Brother, can you promise to keep my identity as Grassi a secret?” Song Yin pleaded. “I heard many of my classmates talking about it today, and they were criticizing me.”
Song Kai nodded understandingly. “Don’t worry, I won’t divulge it to anyone.”
Song Yin chose not to return to her classroom this time, preferring to hide herself to avoid Song Fan, who she didn’t want to be seen with her dejected state.
Song Fan returned to her office and took a seat. She had a break between classes, so she decided to attend some company matters. At that moment, Gu Zhuo unexpectedly appeared and asked, “Sister, what are you doing?”
Song Fan glanced at him and replied, “The bell rang. Aren’t you supposed to be in class?”
“No one will notice where I am,” Gu Zhuo replied with a smile. “After all, they only assigned me here to keep an eye on things.”
As a university student, Gu Zhuo had little interest in high school classes, so he found it more appealing to chat with Song Fan.
Unconcerned about Gu Zhuo’s whereabouts, Song Fan began to focus on her work. Gu Zhuo fell silent for a moment before continuing, “Sister, you have no idea how insistent my father can be. He’s constantly pressuring me to build a good relationship with Song Yin. He’s so fond of her that he might as well marry her himself.”
Gu Zhuo vented his frustration, expressing how irritated he was with his father’s constant nagging about getting along with Song Yin. It seemed that Gu Hai had been pressuring him to marry Song Yin. Despite his ongoing feud with Director Zhang, Gu Hai was still persistent in pushing him toward this goal.
As Song Fan continued working on her computer, she occasionally listened to Gu Zhuo’s rants about his family matters. She still held a little interest in Gu Hai’s matters. After all, she had just stirred up the relationship between him and Director Zhang.
However, Gu Zhuo was still talking about him and Song Yin. Song Fan focused all her attention on the computer. She had been dealing with a significant order from an overseas firearms company, and her workload had increased recently.
Once Gu Zhuo had finished talking, he noticed that Song Fan hadn’t been paying much attention. He waited for her to finish her work while sitting quietly on the side.
After completing her tasks, Song Fan turned to find Gu Zhuo still there. She shut down her computer and said, “You should return to your class.”
“Sister, how about I pursue you instead?” Gu Zhuo’s eyes gleamed with mischief. “Then my dad won’t force me to pursue Song Yin anymore.”
Song Fan immediately dismissed the idea. “I think that’s a bad idea. You should listen to your father.”
Gu Zhuo responded with a grin, “But I genuinely like you, Sister.”
Song Fan’s expression remained cold. “You probably don’t even believe that yourself. I don’t have time to entertain this nonsense.”
With that, Song Fan stood up and looked down at Gu Zhuo. “I have work to do. I don’t have time to fool around with you.”
