Lydia really didn't go to school anymore. Although all the misunderstandings had been clarified, she didn't want to go to school again.
On the second day after she went through formalities, Nina came to her and asked for her forgiveness.
At that time, John was there, but later he found an excuse and went out.
Lydia looked at Nina who had suddenly become much more haggard and sighed in heart. Why did Nina have to provoke her back then?
"I'm sorry." Nina said softly.
"Oh."
Hearing this, Nina immediately got unhappy and glared at her with hatred, "Lydia, are you very smug now?" She was apologizing to Lydia, but Lydia actually replied to her so indifferently.
Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I'm smug now?"
"I'm apologizing to you!"
"I heard it. Didn't I answer you as well?"
"You..." Nina sneered, "Is that your answer?"
"What do you expect?" Lydia was puzzled, "How do you want me to answer you? Should I thank you with tears of gratitude? But Nina, you are the one who made a mistake. I was slandered and bullied by others because of you. I'm kindhearted, otherwise I wouldn't even want to see you."
Nina's face turned livid. "You're so arrogant just because you have John's support, aren't you? Who do you think you are?" She looked at Lydia, and she was overwhelmed by jealousy and resentment, "You're no better than me, but John came to my house to put pressure on my parents and said if I didn't do as he asked, he would aim at my father's company! John is not such an impulsive man. You must have said something to him, right? Did you pretend to be poor in front of him? Ha-ha! Even if I've clarified the facts, you are just a poor woman who is good at pretending!"
But it was this poor woman that made her lose face in school and made her a big joke in A City. She hated her so much!
Although Lydia had known that it was because of John that Nina told the truth in front of everyone, she didn't expect that John had done so much for her.
She was touched and a little angry at the same time. Of course, she was angry because of Nina.
Nina said that she was a poor woman and slandered her once again. No matter how kind she was, she would be mad, not to mention that she was born to be hot-tempered.
But this time, she didn't fight with Nina as impulsively as usual. She just said slowly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that John has done so much for me. In this way, John is really good to me. He doesn't want me to be wronged and did so many things behind my back. I'm very touched. Thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that he loves me so much."
Seeing that Nina's face darkened, Lydia suddenly felt so happy, and she felt that it was right to choose not to quarrel with her. Since she could outargue Nina verbally, she didn't have to fight with her. It was good to talk about her sore point and mock her in a soft tone!
"You said that I'm poor, but I don't think so. Even if I said something to John, didn't you provoke me first? Besides, even if I spoke ill of you in front of him, he was willing to listen to me, right? If you want to speak ill of me, do you think he'll listen to you?" Lydia sighed, "So, I'd like to be such a 'poor woman'. After all, not everyone is qualified to be John's lover. Don't you think so?"
Nina looked at Lydia as if she was looking at a monster, "You... are simply dishonourable and thick-skinned! You can even say such words! You are so shameless!"
Lydia rolled her eyes at her, "Shameless? Are you talking about yourself? If you are not thick-skinned, how could you frame me in front of others? Did it feel good to give yourself a slap in the face?" She felt a little annoyed and pointed to the door, "Get out.
I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"I haven't finished my words yet!"
"But I don't want to hear you anymore." Lydia said impatiently, "Go out!"
Did Nina really come here to apologize? John had put pressure on the Qiao family, so she came to apologize. But was that an apology? Who would apologize with such a bad attitude?
