Qin Zheng was confused about the relationship between Chu Peihan and Gu Ning. They didn't seem like friends, because Chu Peihan always talked to Gu Ning in an unfriendly way.
However, she stood up for Gu Ning.
Qin Zheng wasn't sure whether Chu Peihan was helping Gu Ning, or merely hated him.
If Chu Peihan hated him, he honestly had no idea why she would do that.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ziyao didn't know what had happened this morning. They believed Chu Peihan was here to laugh at Gu Ning too.
In Gu Xiaoxiao's and Chen Ziyao's eyes, Gu Ning was a joke herself who was meant to be bullied.
They never thought about the possibility that Chu Peihan and Gu Ning were friends. It was impossible from their perspectives.
Why?
They didn't believe Chu Peihan, a girl from a powerful family, would make a friend with Gu Ning, who was from a poor family.
