inally calmed down, beating no longer so frantically. She looked around, realizing they were behind a classroom door."Ting Lan." Zhuo Yu'an's voice sounded above her head."Hmm" she tilted her head, me...Zhang Laoshi always protected her, so after receiving this complaint letter, he stopped it and didn't send it up further. He also needed to investigate, was this targeting Chen Linghui, was it targeting her personally Or was it targeting him Or Song Jingye

After Chen Ling returned from Teacher Zhang's office, her originally bright mood was now overcast with a thick cloud of uncertainty. She couldn't figure out who would have reported her.

Messing around in romantic relationships

< > Having a child out of wedlock < >

Miscarriage

These words echoed in her mind, a blurry image flashed before her eyes, but it wouldn't come into focus immediately.

Because of this complaint letter, she felt uneasy all day long, not knowing who she had offended. It's the hardest to deal with when the enemy is in the dark and you are in the light.

In the evening, Song Jingye came to pick her up. From afar, he saw that her face was not good as she walked out of the office building. Her small face drooped, without the brightness she used to have.

After the car got onto the main road, he glanced at her, and she just happened to look back at him, her face puffed up with anger.

"What's wrong"

"I was reported."

Both spoke at once.

Song Jingye's hand on the steering wheel paused for a moment: "Report you for what"

He guessed she was reported for being promoted too quickly.

"He said I was messing around with other people." She didn't say anything about the abortion.

Song Jingye laughed, sincerely finding it amusing: "Are you trying to mess with me romantically"

Chen Ning glared at him: "At this time, you're still joking. This has a very bad influence, okay"

How bad is it

"Words can kill, like drops of water wearing away a stone." she said.

Song Jingye was still smiling: "You're not afraid of bullets and shrapnel, so why would you be afraid of these rumors"

He always remained calm about the reporting incident. Chen Ning felt a slight release of the pent-up frustration in her heart because of his serenity.

Song Jingye saw that her face had improved and casually said, "Being reported is a good thing. It means you are outstanding and envied by others."

Chen Ling gently hit him back: "Is that how you comfort someone"

"Ningning."

"What's up"

If you want to climb high and go far, you need the courage that people hate. These reports are not worth mentioning.

Have the courage to be disliked

Chen Ling's heart churned upon hearing this. The environment she grew up in made her extremely cautious in her words and actions, always fearing the displeasure of her uncles, aunts, and cousin. Even as an adult, when she met Song Jingye, she dared not approach him for fear of upsetting him. At all times, she prioritized others' emotions above her own, never considering her own feelings.

Later, she learned that this was called a people-pleasing personality.

So, having the courage to be hated is so precious. She almost cried: "Uncle, you're such a good comforter, how could you be so amazing."

"If you're not good enough, how could you deserve someone as amazing as me" he said arrogantly.

The car was almost home when he turned the wheel and drove down a different road.

"Where to"

"Go to the class monitor and ask him to stew some soup. By the way, let's celebrate."

"What are we celebrating"

"Congratulations on receiving your first complaint letter."

Chen Ning let out a small, genuine laugh. This time, she truly had let go of the incident with the report.

Of course, when being reported, we should despise it from the heart, but in action, we must take it seriously, understand Song Jingye emphasized.

Chen Ling replied, "I understand."

Being with him, even the biggest problems could be soothed by just his few words. The squad leader brought them soup, and she drank it in the room. Midway through, Song Jingye went out to chat with the squad leader about something unknown, and came back after a while. She didn't mind, and after finishing their meal, the two of them went home.

The next day, she woke up very early. Although she had been comforted last night and let it go, she hadn't found out who reported her, and she still couldn't rest assured.

Song Jingye said on the way to work that he was going on a business trip for a few days and had to go to Base 10 to supervise construction.

"So sudden Why didn't you say anything yesterday"

"I forgot to say yesterday."

"Okay, I'll think of you." She got out of the car reluctantly, waving goodbye as his car drove away. Then she turned and went into the office building.

Yesterday, that hazy image from my mind flashed again, like a shadow, right there, yet out of reach.

Until she went to the restroom and saw Tao Kaiyan, those images suddenly came into focus.

It was a long time ago that morning. She bought a pregnancy test out of suspicion and hid in the bathroom to take it. At that time, Tao Kaiyan had been working overtime all night, and they happened to meet there.

At that time, she was unguarded and, consumed by anxiety, did not think too much about it. She ran to the restroom at her workplace to take a test.

At this moment, Tao Kaiyan was washing her hands. Seeing her, she, as always, simply nodded without being cold or hot. Chen Ning didn't greet her like usual, but stared at her through the mirror in front of them, her eyes blinking not once.

Because of her gaze, Tao Kaiyan's hand washing paused. She raised her eyes to meet hers in the mirror, very calm and unruffled.

Because it was so calm and collected, Chen Ling could almost be certain that the anonymous letter was written by her.

Realizing this, she was so angry her fingers trembled slightly: "Kaiyan, we've known each other for almost four years, and we've lived together for over two years."

Tao Kaiyan didn't answer, just watched her quietly.

Chen Ling replied: "I don't think I have done anything wrong to you. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can tell me face-to-face."

She didn't want to say any more, stopping herself short. At least they both still had a shred of dignity left.

Tao Kaiyan remained expressionless. After washing his hands and shaking them dry, he said, "I don't know what you're talking about." Then he turned and left the bathroom.

Chen Ning looked back at her retreating figure, and she didn't expect that she was so deep-seated. She felt a chill and quickened her pace to walk beside her, her voice turning cold: "When you think of using despicable means to defeat your competitors, from the moment you have this idea, you have already lost."

She finished her sentence, and Tao Kaiyan's face turned sour. She looked at her and said, "Where are you being so noble Don't think that because you've accomplished a few things, you don't know where you came from."

The pretense of harmony they had maintained before completely shattered.

Chen Ning pondered, unable to understand: "From the moment we first met, you've had this inexplicable hostility towards me. Why"

Tao Kaiyan sneered: "From the moment you knew I had ill intentions towards you, you pretended not to know. Too hypocritical."

At that moment, some other colleagues walked past them. The two people who had been on the verge of a confrontation just moments before both smiled and greeted each other: "Good morning."

As soon as their coworker left, the atmosphere between the two of them turned cold again.

Chen Ning had nothing left to say. If basic manners were just pretense, then so be it.

No longer seeking to please anyone and possessing the courage to be disliked, her heart became extraordinarily light.

Later, Teacher Zhang asked her, "Do you know who reported you" In his view, character was far more important than ability.

Chen Ling thought for a moment, the name on her lips retracted, unwilling to casually ruin someone's career. After all, she still held a sliver of kindness and didn't want to become like Tao Kaiyan.roup on impulse. 。After all, she is a star. Most of the people in Gu's Group know her. When they see her coming, they want to stop her, but they can't. 。Although she acts like a little girl in front...
