After the exam in the afternoon, Yun Jin was just about to get in the car with Zheng Han to return to the Zheng family when she was stopped by the class monitor.
"Yun Jin, I need you to be on duty today."
"Last week, because you were a newcomer, you were not listed in the duty roster. However, after a few students made suggestions, I added you in. I hope you don't have any objections. After all, this kind of thing is something that everyone has to do," said the class monitor.
After hearing his words, Yun Jin instantly had a guess about the few classmates who made suggestions. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, I don't have any objections. I'm very willing to participate."
Zheng Han leaned against the wall and looked at the class monitor with displeasure. He said to Yun Jin gloomily, "I'll wait for you."
"No." Yun Jin shook her head at him. "You and Uncle Li should go home first."
"How can that do? You don't know the way home," Zheng Han rejected sternly.
Liu Qiong, Lu Jie, and Lin Yue, who were also on duty today, stood at the side and heard the conversation between the two.
Lu Jie didn't expect Zheng Han to say this and was astonished. According to her observations, Zheng Han and Yun Jin hadn't spoken much in the past two days. Why was he willing to wait for her? !
Yun Jin was deep in thought when Lu Jie interjected.
"Yun Jin can go home by bus."
The "public minibus" route was introduced in the capital in 1984. Each minibus could accommodate 10 people. The bus station was spacious, the speed of the minibus was fast, and it was not crowded. It was very popular.
Zheng Han didn't even think about it and asked, "Since you can take a ride home in a car, why do you have to squeeze in a bus?"
Lin Yue sneered, "Zheng Han, if your grandfather hears you talking like that, he will definitely beat you up."
She didn't know what exactly Liu Qiong and Lu Jie wanted to do because they didn't tell her. They only told her that they wanted to teach Yun Jin a small lesson and scare her a little.
Lin Yue thought that it wasn't a big deal to be scared, so she agreed to participate.
After all, even if Yun Jin's grandfather had saved her brother back then, Yun Jin wouldn't be able to compete with her sister for a man. She would definitely stand by her sister's side.
"It was you guys who suggested that Yun Jin be on duty, right?" Zheng Han saw their reactions and instantly guessed something.
Lin Yue said sternly, "So what if it was? It's just carrying out chores. Everyone will do it."
Lu Jie and Liu Qiong looked at each other but didn't say anything.
They knew clearly what they had prepared for Yun Jin tonight, so they didn't dare to make their intentions too clear. Fortunately, Lin Yue could help them express their thoughts.
Anyway, the Lin family's background was strong. Even if the Zheng family was dissatisfied, they couldn't retaliate against Lin Yue.
Zheng Han wanted to say something but saw Yun Jin shake his head at him. "What they said makes sense. Nothing bad will happen if we sit on the sidelines. You can go back. I'll go on duty."
Then, she turned around and entered the classroom.
Yun Jin knew very well that there was no way she could be on her guard forever.
Even if she could avoid the trap set by the three of them today, as long as the hostility in their hearts did not disappear and they kept taking action, there would be a day when she would not be able to guard against them.
Since that was the case, she might as well face the problem head-on. She would figure out their specific objectives, take revenge, and make them completely behave themselves.
Zheng Han sighed. He thought that Yun Jin did not want to sit in the same car as him because of what he had said today.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Be careful."
After he said this to the door, he looked at Lin Yue and the other two and warned them, "You better not have any ulterior motives. Otherwise, I guarantee that you will regret it."
After he left, Liu Qiong's expression was nervous and he was a little afraid. He said uneasily to Lu Jie, "He seems to be serious. What should we do..."
Lu Jie noticed Lin Yue's suspicious gaze and quickly interrupted, "What do you mean by 'What should we do?' We're just going to scare her once and let her learn her lesson. There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's go in."
"Oh right, Liu Qiong, how has your father been treating you recently?"
Liu Qiong shook her head silently and understood what Lu Jie meant.
It was true, things had already reached such a state..
Ever since her brother was sent to prison, her father had been very cold to her. The Liu family went with the flow and treated her like she didn't exist. Some mean people even deliberately bullied her.
Since she had deliberately aroused Liu Ren's interest in Yun Jin, Liu Ren would definitely vent his anger on her if he didn't get to violate Yun Jin later.
It was a far-fetched dream to expect her father to stand up for her.
It was better to just carry on with the matter. In any case, Lin Yue would bear the responsibility for them in the end.
Lin Yue knew nothing about being the scapegoat.
She saw that Liu Qiong was a little down and thought that she was thinking about her family matters. She kept comforting her, saying that her brother was unlucky but might be able to escape death.
Yun Jin heard what they were saying and couldn't help but frown. He said seriously, "Her brother didn't go to prison because he was targeted by someone. He deserves it because he has harmed so many people."
"Did I allow you to speak? Just mind your own business!"
Lin Yue no longer spoke righteously. She held Liu Qiong's hand and walked further away.
Lu Jie chuckled and followed them.
Yun Jin understood. There was no way she could knock any sense into them at all. They didn't speak anymore and performed their assigned duties seriously and quickly. They then took their backpacks and left the class.
