Chapter 458 : Lean on Me (1/2)

The man looked even more upset, ”You are ridiculous. Rong Yan, let's go.”

He took two steps, then stopped, ”You are from a nice family. It doesn't befit you to be shouting here in pubic.” Then, even he felt that he was barging too much into someone else's business, so he stoped himself and left.

Just a minute ago Yan Ziyuan was like a aggressive rooster, all of a sudden has was like a ball leaking it's air. She leaned against a pole and slowly slid onto the ground.

Ning Xuemo had been watching the entire exchange with her arms crossed. She more or less figured out what was going on.

Sitting down next to Yan Ziyuan, she said mildly, ”Sometimes, something is just not yours. You can't force it.””

Yan Ziyuan's body froze for a second, she turned her head at her and said, ”You figured it out.”

Anyway with half a brain would figure it out.

Ning Xuemo patted her own shoulder, ”Anyone can read you like a book. You can borrow my shoulder if you want to cry, but you must straighten yourself up afterward.”

Yan Ziyuan's eyes were already moistened, but she tightened her lips and said, ”I am not going to cry because of them.”

Ning Xuemo pressed her on her shoulder but didn't say anything.

Yan Ziyuan sat there motionlessly for a while, but she was a 16-year old girl after all. She wasn't good at hiding her emotions, especially in sight of her new found friendship with Ning Xuemo. She didn't wait until Ning Xuemo asked before she brought up the the past.

Yan's mother and Rong Yan's mother were best of friends before.

When Rongyan's dad was incriminated and her family was demoted to peasants, Rong's dad died with regret. The Rong's family disintegrated and their livelihood were at stakes.
