"I was framed for stealing money in class, and everyone thought I stole it. The teacher kept lecturing me, wanting me to admit it. My parents even took the initiative to say that they were willing to pay for the money I stole when I really didn't!"
Qin Lianyi said while sniffling, her nose suddenly feeling somewhat sore. "I don't know if you can understand that helplessness. It's like the whole world has betrayed you, so you become helpless and alone. It was useless no matter how much I tried to explain and defend my innocence. At that time… Yiran believed in me and even helped me find out who stole the money."
With that, Qin Lianyi laughed again. "I decided then to make Yiran my best friend forever!"
Bai Tingxin pursed his thin lips. 'It was just... such a small thing that made Lianyi willing to risk everything for Ling Yiran?'
It was not that he could not understand the feeling she spoke of.
Since he was an illegitimate child, he had faced so many treacherous actions since he was little.
Even though he was set up and wronged many times, he would bear it. He understood that rather than clearing his name, it was better to save his strength and strike with one blow when he was strong enough.
Just like how he chose the best timing to become the patriarch of the Bai family in one fell swoop while his aunt and her two sons could only live under his nose.
"Therefore, you chose to believe Ling Yiran when she was imprisoned?" asked Bai Tingxin.
"Yeah, I believe in Yiran. If she said it wasn't her, it certainly wasn't her! Isn't that what real friends are supposed to be like?" said Qin Lianyi.
Bai Tingxin was silent. 'This silly woman. Does she know how many people in this world have been betrayed by their best friend?'
