Xie Yuan grabbed Yin Zhiyao's wrist and pulled him out of the school gate.

Yin Zhiyao was still complaining about Xie Yuan forcing him to apologize just now, so he shook his hand away hard.

"Just because of a trivial matter such as school uniforms, you hit someone?" Xie Yuan said angrily, pointing at her, "It's getting wilder and wilder, isn't it?"

Yin Zhiyao was a little afraid of him, so he muttered in a low voice: "A person who rolls up his sleeves when he disagrees with you has no right to teach me a lesson."

"If I fight, who the hell am I fighting for?" Xie Yuan couldn't help but curse: "Are you just fighting for a tattered school uniform?"

"It's not a tattered school uniform! You don't know anything." Yin Zhiyao mustered up his courage and said, "You have sent me back to my mother anyway, so you still care what I do!"

Xie Yuan knew that when Su Wenrui picked up the little girl from home, he never said a word to save her. Yin Zhiyao had always been worried about this.

"Yeah, why should I care about you."

Xie Yuan sneered, seeming to feel that his choice was a bit ridiculous.

The man who ruined his family deserved to die, so why did he still care about his daughter...

Xie Yuan ignored her, turned around and left decisively.

Yin Zhiyao had never seen such a disappointed and cold expression on Xie Yuan's face. She suddenly panicked and shouted: "Brother!"

Xie Yuan paused for a long time, then turned around and said coldly: "Do you think you can sit back and relax after arriving at the Qiao family? The man in the Qiao family is not your biological father. Your biological father is dead, and your mother relies on him to support you.

..If you can’t make a difference yourself, who can you rely on?”

Yin Zhiyao had never heard Xie Yuan say such words before. She was a little confused: "You...what are you talking about..."

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth and said coldly: "In that kind of life, people are like dogs. They will never have dignity or freedom. Do you want to live like that?"

For some reason, Yin Zhiyao's tears flowed down his eyes unsatisfactorily.

She looked at Xie Yuan blankly and realized that this time Xie Yuan was really angry with her.

Qiao Zhengyang, who had been watching from a distance for a long time, felt that Xie Yuan's words were too unpleasant and couldn't help but want to step forward to defend Yin Zhiyao. But Cheng Wan grabbed his clothes with one hand and pulled him back.

Qiao Zhengyang expressed dissatisfaction with his move: "Weren't you quite capable just now? Why are you so timid now, are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat him?"

"My brother is teaching my sister a lesson, why are you just joining in the fun?"

"I'm a brother too!"

"What kind of brother do you think you are?" Cheng Wan stared at Xie Yuan in the distance and said flatly: "Learn from him and become a brother."

After Xie Yuan left, Yin Zhiyao stood alone under the tree, wiping away his tears with his sleeves, as if he was still digesting what he just said.

Qiao Zhengyang ran over first, and Cheng Wan also took steps to walk over. At this time, someone called him.

"Cheng Wan, please wait a moment."

Cheng Wang turned around and saw Miss Zhang, who was wearing a small suit and a one-line skirt, walking over.

Miss Zhang has permed and curly hair, wears black-rimmed glasses, and has exquisite makeup on her face. She looks very mature and professional. But she is not very old, at most twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old.

"Classmate Cheng Wan, I want to chat with you. Do you have time?"

Cheng Wan guessed Miss Zhang's intention and nodded: "Okay, Teacher Zhang."

He pushed his bicycle and walked with Miss Zhang on the tree-lined path of the small garden on the street.

Miss Zhang was not one to talk in circles. She simply said bluntly: "Cheng Wan, I'm not your class teacher, and I shouldn't say some things. But Yin Zhiyao is a classmate in our class, and that girl keeps her worries to herself.

So I can only ask you to find out."

"Teacher Zhang, just ask if you have anything."

She asked directly: "Are you in a relationship?"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Wan was shocked and immediately explained: "No, we are not in love."

"Really?" Miss Zhang looked at him doubtfully, as if judging the authenticity of his expression.

"Teacher Zhang, you really misunderstood. Yin Zhiyao is my neighbor. I have always regarded her as my little sister. I have no other ideas."

Miss Zhang didn't know much about Cheng Wan's character, but every day she heard the head teacher, Chen Wan, bragging about Cheng Wan in the office. She more or less knew that this boy was really outstanding and very popular with the teacher.

"Cheng Wang, I hope you understand the teacher's good intentions. What you said just now is really easy to cause misunderstanding. You may have been too caring about her."

"Mr. Zhang, the reason why I care about her so much is because, like me, she lost her father very early." Cheng Wan finally told the truth to Miss Zhang: "Especially because she is younger than me, I don't want her to

Being bullied.”

When Miss Zhang heard these words, she felt touched in her heart. Seeing that Cheng Wan was so sincere and definitely not a fake, she finally believed him.

"You just have to control yourself."

There was only one warm yellow wall lamp turned on in the bedroom.

Yin Zhiyao sat on the bed holding his knees, thinking about what Xie Yuan said today, and suddenly felt as if he had grown up a lot.

Although those words were unpleasant and harsh, she knew that what Xie Yuan told was the truth, and only people who really cared about her would tell these truths to her.

She is now living under someone else's roof.

Yin Zhiyao lives in the Qiao family's house, and her food and clothing are provided by the Qiao family. What confidence does she have to quarrel with Qiao Zhengyang?

She was protected too well by Xie Yuan before, thinking that everyone in the world was as kind to her as Brother Bian.

In fact, Xie Yuan is right. If she doesn't work hard and stand out, not only will her external conditions be unworthy of the boy she likes, but she won't be able to achieve equal status with him in terms of personality.

After figuring this out, Yin Zhiyao quickly took out today's textbook from his schoolbag and began to stay up late at night to read and review.

In the past, she wanted to work hard to prove that she was worthy of Cheng Wang. But now, she just wants to work hard to make herself better and live a more dignified life.

An hour later, Yin Zhiyao yawned and fell asleep.

Looking at the time on the small electronic alarm clock on the table, it's almost early in the morning.

She put down her pen and stretched.

It was at this time that he heard the sound of pebbles tapping by the window. Yin Zhiyao poked his head out and looked downstairs. He saw Cheng Wan standing in the small garden opposite and raised his hand to her.

The cold moonlight shone on his body, his figure was thin and his outline was particularly soft.

Yin Zhiyao deliberately lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Is something wrong?"

"Come down."

"But I'm going to sleep."

"Brother has something to ask you."

Yin Zhiyao knew that he would definitely not be able to escape this situation, so he could only put on a down jacket, go downstairs, and come to him in a dignified manner.

"Have you finished your homework?" He asked as usual every day: "Is it possible?"

Yin Zhiyao said in a low voice: "Tomorrow I will ask Yu Bai to help me explain."

"Then take a walk with me."

After Cheng Wan finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and walked along the green belt of the lonely community.

Yin Zhiyao looked at the pale cold moon in the sky and felt the biting wind. She didn't know what Cheng Wan was going to do with her, and she felt uneasy.

"Yin Zhiyao, tell the truth to your brother, why did you have such friction with Xu Ruotong?"

Yin Zhiyao lowered his head, stepping on his shadow and walking forward step by step: "She threw away my clothes without my consent."

"This is your answer to the teacher, not to me." Under the shadow of the tree, Cheng Wan stopped and looked back at her: "It's just a school uniform, is it so important to you?"

Of course it's important, because he left a mark on her school uniform, which is a precious mark that no amount of money can repay...

Yin Zhiyao guarded her secret carefully, weaving a premeditated lie: "I'm jealous of her."

"envy?"

"That's right." She quickened her pace and walked in front, turning her back to him to avoid him seeing her evasive eyes and panic: "She has everything, her grades are so good, she is good-looking, and her family loves her so much. I

...I've wanted to teach her a lesson for a long time."

"You should also use a reasonable logic to deceive people."

Cheng Wan grabbed her wrist: "Your best friend Yu Bai also has good grades and good looks, but she still doesn't speak human words. Why don't you beat her every day?"

Yin Zhiyao said guiltily: "Because Yu Bai wants to treat me to spicy strips."

Cheng Wan raised the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh a little, but he tried his best to hold it back and made a serious expression: "Let go..."

"Brother said dirty words for the second time today."

Cheng Wan swallowed back the last word and rubbed her head vigorously: "There is nothing to be jealous of. As long as you work hard, your grades can be improved. As for beauty, I don't think she is prettier than you."

Yin Zhiyao looked up at him: "Really?"

"Um."

Cheng Wan's expression was sincere: "Temperament and beauty complement each other. It would be too superficial to evaluate a person only by his appearance."

Yin Zhiyao nodded vigorously in agreement.

"As for her family doting on her...there's no need to envy her. You also have people who love you. Your mother, your bitch brother, and Qiao Zhengyang all love you."
