189 I'll help you

Tan Rou really didn't care about what Wei Ling said. Even though Tan Rou had nothing from the beginning, she was never afraid of Tan Jing. She countered every move and completely shattered Tan Jing's conspiracy.2

Moreover, Wei Ling's evaluation of herself was accurate. She was a two-faced fence-sitter, and Tan Rou didn't need such a person by her side.

If anything were to happen, Wei Ling would probably be the first to betray her. Tan Rou didn't have the time to guard against her every day.

Wei Ling still wanted to fight for it. "Tan Rou, please don't misunderstand. I don't want to be dependent on you or rely on you. I know you're not someone like that. Perhaps you'll even think that I'm a burden but I don't want to be that kind of person anymore. I've had enough of being a fence-sitter. I want to be an upright person! Only for once! If you help me, I'll give you something in return. I won't bother you anymore!"

Tan Rou was a little impatient and didn't want to talk to Wei Ling about this anymore. No matter how much Wei Ling talked about it, Tan Rou couldn't forget how Wei Ling had framed her at the exam hall.

She didn't want to be a saint who repay evil with good. It was good enough for them to bear the consequences of their own actions.

 However, Wei Ling's words just now made Tan Rou feel something different. She looked at Wei Ling with an inquisitive gaze.

Wei Ling lowered his head, her entire being dispirited. She said weakly, "I know you might not help me so just treat this as doing a good deed and be my listener. It's been a long time since someone was willing to listen to my talk. Tan Rou, did you know? I'm actually very envious of you."

Wei Ling raised his head and looked at Tan Rou with her red eyes. "You've changed, really. I can't believe how much you've changed. You've completely broken away from your ignorance. You've learned to resist and fight. You've seen through their dirty tricks and can even take revenge on them. I might not be able to do it in this lifetime."

At this moment, Wei Ling threw away her prejudice and obsession and sincerely wished Tan Rou well. "I'm so sorry that I can't be friends with you. You're really great. You didn't turn out like me and I'm sure you'll have a bright future ahead."

Seeing Wei Ling like this, Tan Rou didn't know why, but compared to her hysteria just now, the current Wei Ling made her heart ache a little.

Wei Ling was just like her in her previous life. She gradually sank into her family's vanity. Even though life was hard, she was unwilling to give up. She desperately pursued for the superficial glory and wealth, but it was too late when she finally saw through everything.

To be in hell without knowing it. Then, there will be others that appear just to tell you that there were many levels to hell.

Tan Rou suddenly couldn't bear it. It wasn't because of Wei Ling's words that she suddenly wanted to forgive her, but because the memories of both her lives overlapped. Looking at Wei Ling's expression now was like looking at her disheartened self in her previous life.

She had experienced the same regret and grief of not being able to fight back after a sudden enlightenment.

If this continued, it may really be over for Wei Ling.

Although Wei Ling was in the wrong, she didn't deserve to die. Even if she didn't commit suicide but because she understood all these now, she might live the rest of her life in pain and unwillingness.

Tan Rou thought about it and decided to follow her heart. She would treat it as a good deed. No one was willing to help her in the past, and now, for her, she would be able to make it up by helping Wei Ling.

"I'll help you talk to the principal," Tan Rou finally said. "You'll definitely be punished but I don't think that they will expel you. I don't know if it will work but I'll put forth the ugly truth first. I will only try my best."

Wei Ling didn't expect that Tan Rou would agree to her request when she didn't even agree to it in the beginning when she was begging Tan Rou.

 Wei Ling was surprised and stunned. "Why? How did you…?"

Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. "Don't misunderstand me. I haven't forgiven you and I don't need you to help me with anything in the future. It's just that I think... Since you've thought it through and want to live an upright life, then live a good life. Just don't let me down in the future."

Tan Rou looked at Wei Ling seriously. "Your life is your own, not someone else's subordinate. You don't need to please anyone. As long as you can understand this, I didn't listen to everything that you said today in vain. I hope you can keep your word. I don't want to help Wei Ling from the past but I'm willing to help you."

Wei Ling burst into tears and she didn't know what to say. She covered her face and thanked her over and over again. "Thank you, Tan Rou! Thank you! I will!"
