Chapter 24: Good Girls Don’t Internalize

“Don’t talk nonsense. Although I dated you, our relationship was purely platonic. You’re the one who’s morally corrupt and shameless, messing around outside. Don’t try to drag me into your mess!”

Chen Zhou denied it with a black face.

Xu Li’s face turned pale, her eyes widened, as if she couldn’t believe that the man who used to sweet-talk her would be so heartless to her.

He Xiaolan looked at Xu Yin’s appearance and felt a little sympathy for her. She quietly leaned closer to Xia Keqing and said, “Keqing, do you think Xu Li, no, Xu Yin’s child is Chen Zhou’s?”

Xia Keqing shook her head.

He Xiaolan widened her eyes in disbelief, “Xu Yin is so unprincipled?”

Xia Keqing: …

“That’s not what I meant.”

He Xiaolan:?

Xia Keqing sighed helplessly and whispered, “The child is gone, there’s no proof. I don’t know.”

Although she said that, she thought the child in Xu Yin’s belly was most likely Chen Zhou’s.

After all, most girls in this era were conservative. There were some who indulged in forbidden fruit before marriage, but not many. Especially Xu Yin, who was a love-struck fool, completely devoted to Chen Zhou. It was unlikely that she would cheat on Chen Zhou.

But now it wasn’t like the future, where you could do a DNA test on the remaining embryo.

In this era, who the child belonged to depended solely on the mother’s word and the man’s conscience.

But men’s consciences were the least reliable things.

For example, Chen Zhou had no conscience.

The reason the original owner in the previous life could marry Chen Zhou was because she was pregnant and also had a beautiful face.

Xia Keqing thought, maybe there was also a bit of hidden male vanity in Chen Zhou’s heart.

In Chen Zhou’s eyes, the original owner had a soldier fiancé and was willing to give him up, wasn’t it because he was better than a soldier?

Stolen food tastes good, and stolen women are equally delicious.

Xu Yin now had nothing, no one was snatching her away, no one was competing. She even lost her college student status.

She couldn’t even keep the child in her belly, Chen Zhou would be surprised if he acknowledged it.

He might even feel wronged.

It turned out that the woman he found was actually a fool.

Xu Yin now had no college student status, just like Chen Zhou’s previous wife who stayed in the countryside.

Although she felt sorry for Xu Yin, Xia Keqing didn’t plan to help her.

She had warned Xu Li before, but she didn’t listen.

This made her realize the importance of letting go of the urge to help others and respecting other people’s fates.

He Xiaolan “oh”ed and sighed.

But Xia Keqing didn’t want to get involved, Xu Yin didn’t plan to let her go. She was heartbroken and suddenly saw Xia Keqing, her eyes suddenly changed, she pointed at her, “Is it you?”

Xia Keqing:?

Xu Yin’s expression was ferocious, “Did you instigate our relationship in front of A Zhou?”

“Did you make A Zhou refuse to acknowledge me and the child?”

Xia Keqing: …

No, sister, are you crazy?

Of course Xia Keqing couldn’t back down, she directly retorted, “Xu Yin, are you crazy?”

“Why would I instigate your relationship with Chen Zhou? Who are you guys?”

Xu Yin’s eyes were gloomy, “Of course it’s because you’re jealous of my relationship with A Zhou, you want to replace me!”

Xia Keqing rolled her eyes, even He Xiaolan couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Xu Yin, you’re crazy!”

“Don’t you understand? Chen Zhou is a college student, with a promising future, what are you? Your dad helped you change your identity this time, letting you replace your cousin to go to college, he’s definitely going to be in big trouble!”

“What do you have that makes Chen Zhou acknowledge you?”

“Don’t tell me you want Chen Zhou to marry you?”

“Why would he marry you?”

Xia Keqing looked at He Xiaolan in surprise.

Sure enough, no one who could get into college was stupid. He Xiaolan was just naive, but she wasn’t stupid, she understood everything, she just didn’t usually say it.

But Xu Yin didn’t get it at all.

“Why are you saying this about me?”

“A Zhou and I are so good together, don’t try to stir up trouble between us!”

Chen Zhou’s face turned even blacker.

If Xia Keqing’s fiancé wasn’t so powerful, Chen Zhou might have really used her as a pawn to get rid of Xu Yin.

But now he didn’t dare, he could only keep denying his relationship with Xu Yin.

“You’re so unprincipled, don’t come looking for me anymore.”

“My mom wouldn’t like a woman like you, we won’t have a good outcome together. Let’s just call it quits.”

Xia Keqing knew how heartless Chen the Scum was.

She wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

To avoid Xu Yin going crazy and affecting her, Xia Keqing quickly pulled He Xiaolan away.

He Xiaolan, the little girl, was still reluctant, “Why are you pulling me? We haven’t finished watching the show yet!”

Xia Keqing said impatiently, “What show? Let’s go!”

Seeing He Xiaolan pouting, Xia Keqing had to tap her forehead, “You, watch less drama, stay away from those strange and messy people.”

“Xu Yin is so unlucky now. We’re so close to her, what if she does something crazy again, and then blames it on us?”

Based on her understanding of Xu Yin, this wasn’t impossible.

This woman’s mind wasn’t clear, and she had always resented her because of Chen Zhou and the original owner.

If she did something crazy in a moment of madness, she didn’t want to be dragged down with her.

Later, they heard that not long after they left, Xu Yin really caused trouble.

Just because a girl sat not far from Chen Zhou, from Xu Yin’s perspective, it looked like Chen Zhou was protecting her. Xu Yin suspected that the reason Chen Zhou didn’t want her was because he had a crush on this girl.

This unlucky girl was actually just sitting there reviewing her lessons, but she almost got scratched in the face by Xu Yin.

Chen Zhou had no choice but to take Xu Yin away.

After that, no one saw Xu Yin again.

The real Xu Li did come to school.

She had a large birthmark on her face and was introverted and didn’t like to talk.

It was said that Chen Zhou really intended to get to know her, but when he saw her face, he immediately backed off.

Xia Keqing was speechless.

It was a birthmark on her face that instantly repelled the scumbag.

Was it her fault for being beautiful?

It was definitely not her fault for being beautiful, it was the world’s fault.

Xia Keqing had one great advantage, she never internalized things. No matter what happened, she would always look for the reason in others first.

If she couldn’t find it, she would look again.

Of course, the cause and process didn’t matter, what mattered was the result.

Sometimes, once something has happened, the reason why it happened doesn’t matter anymore.

What matters is identifying the problem and solving it.

…

That day, Xia Keqing had just finished class when she heard people say that a particularly cool army green jeep was parked at the school gate.

She didn’t pay much attention at first, until she saw Shen Jichuan getting out of the jeep.

Her eyes instantly lit up.

An army green jeep, a tall and handsome man in military uniform, looking up from below, the man’s legs were almost six feet tall!

Wow! Who wouldn’t love a man like that?

She immediately ran towards him with a smile.

In this era, an army green jeep was the coolest thing, many young boys and girls gathered around.

But Shen Jichuan’s face was both handsome and cold, no one dared to talk to him.

Xia Keqing dared.

She directly pounced on him.

“Shen Jichuan, you’re here!”

She had run over, her hair was a little messy, but her eyes were shining brightly, like a little deer.

Shen Jichuan looked at her rosy cheeks and those beautiful big eyes, as if she could only see him.
