When Jiang Tingyan saw this message, he remained silent for a long time before replying.

【Tong Yan, you don't need to do this for me.】

Tong Yan sent a smiley face: "Don't worry, I won't force you to like me out of self-pity; everything I do is of my own free will."

After replying with "Thank you," Jiang Tingyan turned off his phone and placed it on the table.

He stared at his phone for a long time, but didn't receive a single message.

Jiang Tingyan chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned his gaze to the computer screen.

That was a learning plan tailored to Qiao Manman, and even the PPT for the coffee shop survey was perfectly prepared.

But now it seems that Qiao Manman doesn't need him.

the other side.

Not long after Qiao Manman returned to her room, there was a knock on the door.

Qiao Manman got up and opened the door. Seeing Qiao Qiqi standing outside, she asked calmly, "What is it?"

Qiao Qiqi glanced at the door of Jiang Tingyan's room: "Sister, do you think Brother Tingyan will come back to stay?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Qiao Manman asked, crossing her arms and leaning against the door.

Qiao Qiqi: "I was thinking, if Brother Tingyan doesn't come back, could I stay in Brother Tingyan's room?"

"This is his room. He got here before you and took it. If you want to take it away suddenly, you should tell everyone and get their opinions before making a decision."

"If you ask me, I can't give you any answers. After all, I don't have the power to drive Jiang Tingyan away, nor do I intend to."

Qiao Qiqi never expected that such a simple question would lead to a lecture from Qiao Manman.

Her expression was somewhat unpleasant, stiff on her face.

After a moment, she composed herself and said in a slightly deep voice, "Sister, it seems you've never treated me like a real sister."

Qiao Manman was exhausted after a long day, and even saying one more word felt like it would kill her.

She waved her hand impatiently, stood up, and said, "Don't ask such pointless questions next time. Go to sleep early."

Qiao Manman no longer cared about what others thought or felt; all she wanted now was to take a shower and go to sleep.

So before Qiao Qiqi could leave, Qiao Manman closed the door.

Standing outside the door, Qiao Qiqi's eyes gradually turned cold as she stared at Qiao Manman's door.

His eyes were like they were poisoned, and he seemed to want to rush in and slap Qiao Manman twice!

It was Qiao Manman who forced her.

It was all because Qiao Manman disregarded sisterly affection and repeatedly embarrassed her!

If it weren't for Qiao Manman's actions, she wouldn't have secretly tried to harm her!

Since there's absolutely no room for negotiation, she won't have any more reservations!

-

The next day, at school.

When Qiao Manman and Shen Que walked to the school gate, they happened to run into Mao Zhuyu, who was eating steamed buns with Zhu Liangqi.

The two chatted and laughed, their relationship no longer as strained as before.

Shen Que stared suspiciously at their retreating figures: "Manman, isn't that female classmate next to Liang Qi the one who framed the restaurant?"

Qiao Manman nodded and said, "You have a good memory."

"It's definitely not a problem with my memory," Shen Que corrected. "It's because she made a mistake and acted like a bad person in front of us, so we have a strong impression of her appearance."

Qiao Manman didn't care whether Shen Que would remember others.

She is now very curious about how Mao Zhuyu and Zhu Liangqi got together.

Who or what happened in between that made the two reconcile and resolve the previous sarcasm Mao Zhuyu had directed at Zhu Liangqi?

Although this matter had nothing to do with her, Qiao Manman had a vague feeling that Mao Zhuyu was definitely not up to anything good by getting close to Zhu Liangqi!

It is highly likely that they will use Zhu Liangqi to deal with her.

Shen Que called Qiao Manman's name several times, but received no response.

He couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand twice in front of Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman then came to her senses and looked at him: "W-what's wrong?"

Shen Que: "I called you just now, but you seemed distracted and didn't hear me. I wanted to ask, you kept staring at them, did you notice anything strange?"

Qiao Manman nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I had a conflict with Mao Zhuyu in the classroom before, so I suspect that her purpose in approaching Zhu Liangqi is probably to deal with me."

"If that's what you're saying, then it's quite possible," Shen Que chimed in. "But didn't you have a conflict with Mao Zhuyu before?"

"no."

Qiao Manman frowned and said, "That's why it's so strange; she always targets me suddenly."

"Then it's obvious, the people behind Mao Zhuyu want to get rid of you."

"Who's behind her?" Qiao Manman had considered this question before: "But who could be behind her?"

Could it be Jiang Shu?

She had thought about this before, and even had a fight with Jiang Shu about it.

But thinking about it later, something didn't seem right.

Jiang Shu doesn't seem to need to risk her company's image by playing such insidious tricks on her.

With Jiang Shu's abilities, dealing with him would be as easy as an elephant crushing an ant.

But besides Jiang Shu, who else could it be?

Qiao Manman and Shen Que chatted as they walked to the entrance of the teaching building, where two familiar figures were approaching from a distance.

Upon seeing Qiao Manman, Tong Yan raised her hand and greeted her, "Manman!"

Jiang Tingyan suddenly looked up at Qiao Manman, who was standing next to Shen Que. Qiao Manman was facing them and simply nodded to Tong Yan as a greeting.

Walking up to them, Tong Yan looked at the two of them with a teasing expression.

"You two were together so early in the morning, were you going to and from school together?"

Shen Que smiled and said, "Yes, because my family and Manman's family are in the same villa area."

Tong Yan was taken aback: "What a coincidence! Ah Yan and I are neighbors too."

Upon hearing Shen Que's words, Jiang Tingyan's eyes subtly darkened.

The same villa area...

So Qiao Manman has been seen with Shen Que all the time lately?

Jiang Tingyan's jealousy was reignited, and he didn't even want to stand there anymore.

He turned around and walked towards the entrance. Seeing this, Tong Yan quickly said to Qiao Manman and the others, "Manman, let's go up first."

Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, then stared intently at Jiang Tingyan's retreating figure.

If she wasn't mistaken, Jiang Tingyan's expression had just turned ugly again.

But what can we do about it?

Given enough time, Jiang Tingyan might realize that there are better matches waiting for him.

Qiao Manman and Shen Que parted ways on the third floor. Before they even turned the corner, they heard familiar voices.

"Zhuyu, I still want to ask you, what exactly is your reason for helping me?"
