After Transmigrating into the Book, I Married the Male Lead’s Mortal Enemy – Chapter 52

Ch 52: Clearing Debts of Gratitude

“Mom, I’ll talk to her,” Fu Beijun said.

Should he invite her to dinner? Would she be willing to come? Fu Beijun thought, she probably wouldn’t.

Soon, Song Ranran’s written apology was sent to the broadcasting station, asking them to read the apology letter completely during class break.

After much consideration, Song Ranran felt that the changes were happening because she was too impatient. Haste makes waste, as they say. Unlike her previous life where she followed the rules, Fu Beijun’s attitude towards her was also different.

She didn’t want this, so she sincerely apologized.

She even went to Class Seven and apologized to Qiao Rong in front of the whole class.

Unlike the last time when she was evasive and wanted to shift the blame to Qiao Rong, this time, she took all the blame on herself.

Even Qiao Rong felt that Song Ranran’s apology was very sincere this time.

Song Ranran made a grand gesture and stated that if possible, she would clarify the situation with the teacher and return to their class, and she could switch over to Class Seven.

But Qiao Rong rejected her suggestion.

What a joke! This class was never mentioned in the book; it’s just background. Staying here gives her freedom, without constantly living under the halo of the male and female leads, and accidentally being used as a pawn.

However, although Song Ranran apologized, she was still afraid that she would cause trouble in the future, so she warned her: “Song Ranran, I accept this apology, but don’t let it happen again. If there is another time, I won’t let you off, even Qin Zui can’t protect you.”

Song Ranran’s heart trembled when she heard Qiao Rong’s cold tone.

It’s strange. She clearly lived to be eighty or ninety years old in her previous life, while Qiao Rong died before she was twenty. Even if she was reborn, what was there to be afraid of? It was ridiculous that she was actually afraid of her.

Song Ranran felt ashamed of her momentary fear. In fact, she really wanted to reveal her identity to Qiao Rong, so they could be open and honest with each other and mind their own business.

However, she instinctively felt that Qiao Rong was not an easy person to get along with, and she was afraid that if she spoke, she would take advantage of her.

Forget it, there’s plenty of time. Anyway, Qiao Rong only has a few years to live.

Why should she bother with someone who is short-lived?

Song Ranran’s behavior of slandering Qiao Rong naturally surprised the entire school.

It also made them re-evaluate Song Ranran.

In their impression, Song Ranran was clearly a well-behaved, smart, and studious good student. How could she do something like framing Qiao Rong?

Song Ranran was also questioned by several friends in turn, but she insisted that she had seen it wrong at the time, because Qiao Rong was by her side when she was bitten by the snake, and she thought Qiao Rong did it.

In the end, Master Qin came forward and warned everyone in the school not to discuss this matter again, and gradually everyone dared not speak.

“Ranran, don’t worry, I won’t let those people hurt you. You just need to obediently hide behind me,” Qin Zui said, stroking Song Ranran’s head.

“Qin Zui, thank you this time, no matter what,” Song Ranran sincerely thanked him.

Yes, every time there was danger, Qin Zui was the first to stand up and protect her.

It was like this in her previous life, and naturally it was no exception in this life.

But now that she thought about it, she didn’t really like Qin Zui that much. It seemed that everything was going according to his way, and she had become a canary raised by him.

To be honest, she didn’t really like this feeling.

As for Qin Zui, through this incident, he also realized that he had misunderstood Qiao Rong at the beginning. He was so fierce towards Qiao Rong. As a man, he felt that he should be brave enough to admit his mistakes.

So, he also ran to apologize to Qiao Rong.

Qiao Rong was stunned by the successive apologies from the male and female leads.

“I’m sorry, I hope you forgive me,” Qin Zui said before leaving.

◈◈◈

Qiao Rong didn’t know if he was apologizing or just trying to make himself feel better.

Probably the latter.

But she didn’t care about these things at all. The matter was resolved, and the apology was made. Then, could she not have anything to do with any of them?

Once the monthly exam came, as long as she showed her skills slightly, and then dismissed Fu Beijun, from then on, the relationship between her and the protagonists would probably be parallel lines, with no intersection.

She felt especially happy when she thought of the several pieces of real estate she had recently acquired with the money Guo Zhenbao gave her.

Her dream of becoming a wealthy woman was one step closer.

She felt that she should also invest in some small shops, so that she would have a steady stream of income.

Having money is really good. This was the 10,086th time Qiao Rong had felt this way.

But who knew that Fu Beijun would say that he wanted to invite her to dinner again.

Qiao Rong looked at the gentle-looking young man in front of her. In the sunlight, his pair of light-colored eyes were like flowing water under the sun, sparkling.

His eyes were really special, and with that handsome face, it was like the finishing touch.

Qiao Rong looked at him, a little puzzled: “Didn’t we have dinner last time?”

“My mom said she wanted to invite you to our house for dinner.”

“No need to bother,” Qiao Rong directly refused. “Auntie is too polite. Actually, helping you is very normal. After all, I did so many things I’m sorry for before, so it’s considered making up for it. You don’t need to think too much.”

Fu Beijun felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard Qiao Rong’s words.

So, she did so much just because of the bad things she had done to him before?

Then her compensation was really generous.

Seeing that she really wanted to clear up the relationship between the two, Fu Beijun didn’t want her to clear it up like this. He asked, “Then will you kick me away soon?”

Scared by his slightly aggrieved tone, Qiao Rong thought that if she didn’t control herself, she would have jumped up now.

How did Fu Beijun guess that?

But the way he said it, it was as if she was a heartless person who would kick him away after being with him.

No! She wasn’t like that.

Qiao Rong immediately said, “No.”

Fu Beijun didn’t believe her at all. He took a step forward and approached her: “You don’t need me to tutor you recently, but you still give me the money. Actually, you asked me to tutor you not because you wanted to study, but just because you wanted to clear the debt of gratitude, right?”

Some things are better left unthought, but once you think about them, you can find many strange things.

Qiao Rong felt guilty when Fu Beijun asked her this. She said in a low voice, “That’s because I’ve been very busy recently and have things to do, so I don’t take lessons. Actually, I’ve made great progress in my studies because of you. If you don’t believe me, you’ll know when you see the monthly exam.”

Fu Beijun heard this and looked at her quietly.

He didn’t speak, just looked at Qiao Rong with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her mind.

Qiao Rong felt very guilty being watched by him.

After a while, she said, “Okay, I will definitely go to Auntie’s treat.”

Fu Beijun withdrew his gaze and hummed in response.
