My sister-in-law stole my fiancé, and I drove her crazy after my rebirth

Song Shaojie coughed lightly. Liu Xiaolan's body perked up and she subconsciously looked back. It turned out to be Song Shaojie. For a moment, she felt her cheeks blush. He must have heard the conversation between her and her mother just now!

Liu Xiaolan looked at Song Shaojie with a somewhat evasive look.

"W-why are you here?"

Song Shaojie pretended to be relaxed and walked in front of Liu Xiaolan.

"Oh~ I was going to buy a pack of cigarettes outside the school, and I passed by here and saw you on the phone?"

Song Shaojie also gestured to Liu Xiaolan with the pack of cigarettes in his hand.

Liu Xiaolan saw that he really went to buy cigarettes, but when he heard him say that he saw him on the phone, he looked at him tentatively.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Yeah~ I heard it all!"

"what--"

Liu Xiaolan's cheeks instantly turned red to her neck. She frowned and looked at him embarrassedly.

"I was just on the phone with my mother. I don't want you to know about this. Can you please keep it a secret?"

Song Shaojie felt distressed when he saw Liu Xiaolan's pleading eyes.

"I know why you don't let us know about your family's affairs, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone, especially not Wu Youyou and Yang Min!"

When Liu Xiaolan heard Song Shaojie say this, his heart skipped a beat.

Liu Xiaolan didn't want to gain her friends' sympathy for the sake of her own pitiful self-esteem. She felt that she was lucky to be able to make friends like Wu Youyou and Yang Min.

But even for such friends, she didn't want to let them know that her mother was still sick and that her father had passed away long ago. Wu Youyou never asked her about her family affairs, which made her somewhat relieved. Otherwise, if Wu Youyou asked, she couldn't lie to Wu Youyou. But she didn't want to say it, for fear that Wu Youyou would misunderstand her and think that he didn't regard her as a friend!

Now that she was caught by Song Shaojie, she must be very worried and scared. She was worried that Song Shaojie would sympathize with her, or look down on her, and that he would tell Wu Youyou about her affairs. But after hearing what Song Shaojie said, for some reason, her heart suddenly calmed down.

"Song Shaojie, thank you!"

Song Shaojie raised his eyebrows, smiled, and looked at Liu Xiaolan naturally.

"What's there to thank me for? Everyone has things they don't want to talk about. I have them, Shi Zhan has them, Yang Min has them, and Wu Youyou definitely has them too. But this doesn't affect our being friends!"

The word "friend" once again appeared in Liu Xiaolan's ears. What he meant was, do you really consider me a friend? Her eyes couldn't help but become moist. Suddenly, she felt her throat tighten and her nose felt a little sour. She looked at Song Shaojie seriously.

"Song Shaojie, I always thought that the reason you were able to talk to me and seemed like a friend was because you were willing to give me some face for Wu Youyou. I really didn't expect that when you heard about my situation, not only did you not despise me, but you were also willing to keep it secret for me and even treat me as a friend. I was really touched and so happy!"

"Look at what you're saying. We studied together, faced challenges together, and even ate together. Aren't we friends?"

Song Shaojie seemed a little angry, but looked at her with amusement.

Liu Xiaolan quickly explained,

"No, I have always considered you all my friends, including Teacher Shi Zhan, but I never dared to expect you to consider me as a friend!"

Song Shaojie spoke in a gentle tone, looking at Liu Xiaolan with a smile in his eyes.

"Dancers can save people from inferiority and mediocrity, and the same goes for self-confidence. You just need to open yourself up from the inside out. Don't care how others see you. The key is how you see yourself. This is crucial."

Liu Xiaolan was stunned instantly, staring at the other person with her eyes wide open. She really didn't expect that the boy wearing a mask and dancing with her was actually Song Shaojie.

"Oh it's you!"

"it's me!"

"Afterwards, I asked Yang Min about you, but she didn't know it was you!"

Song Shaojie was happy when he saw Liu Xiaolan was very excited. It turned out that she wanted to know who he was so much?

"Even though I was wearing a mask, I thought you knew me. I didn't expect you to not recognize me!"

Liu Xiaolan smiled. She was really happy. Now she felt less restrained in front of Song Shaojie. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Her self-confidence seemed to crawl out from a corner of her body where it was blocked, gradually blending into her blood, and beginning to nourish every cell of her body over and over again.

She no longer had the awkwardness, uneasiness and shyness she had at the beginning, but instead had a wise and confident smile on her face.

"Song Shaojie, thank you for being my friend, but...?"

Song Shaojie was slightly stunned.

"But what?"

Liu Xiaolan smiled and said,

"But you have to study hard. Don't let us all be admitted to Beijing University, but you are left alone abroad. It would be so sad!"

After hearing this, Song Shaojie's expression suddenly widened and he pointed at Liu Xiaolan.

"Oh my~~ You little girl, you've grown wings and are actually mocking me. Don't worry, I won't fall too far behind you!"

"Then you better work hard!"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter!

Wu Youyou and Yang Min were washing their feet together in the dormitory. They were chatting happily. Suddenly, Wu Youyou said,

"Yang Min, is your father interested in participating in Wu Group's new project, Project 649?"

Yang Min, who was still joking, stopped smiling instantly. She looked into Wu Youyou's eyes awkwardly, her heart pounding, afraid that Wu Youyou would misunderstand her.

"Youyou, I'm your friend because I really like you, not because of any project. My father's company does want to cooperate with your father's Project 649, but I didn't use our friendship to talk about this. Although my father asked me to see if I could say something good about you, I was afraid that you would misunderstand me, so I didn't mention this matter!"

The words, "I really like you..." made Wu Youyou's defense break.

She remembered that He Qiangwei had ridiculed her.

[You think I treat you as a friend and really like you? Stop dreaming! ]

Wu Youyou smiled and looked at Yang Min without saying anything. Instead, she took out her phone and called her father. The call was quickly connected.

"Hey~ Youyou! I received your message today. You did well in the exam. Your brothers all praised you!"

"Dad, my brothers have called to congratulate me, and Mom has called me too. You are so busy, have you forgotten about me?"

Wu Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment. He had been busy with Shen's acquisition plan all day and had really forgotten to call Youyou back. His smiling voice came from Wu Youyou's phone.

"Youyou, Dad didn't forget, he was just too busy! Don't be angry! How about this, what gift do you want, Dad will give it to you?"

Wu Youyou pressed the hands-free button in front of Yang Min. Yang Min looked at Wu Youyou with fear, wondering what she was going to do.

Wu Youyou pretended to be angry and said to the phone,

"Dad, do you still remember Uncle Yang from the Yang Group?"

Wu Zhenyuan was slightly stunned, not understanding why his daughter mentioned Yang.

"Remember, you came to me once recently to discuss a project!"

"So how did the talk go?"

"Yang's is okay, but there is a company that Dad thinks is more suitable than Yang's."

Wu Youyou glanced at Yang Min, then continued,

"Dad, I know it's Project 649, so just work with Uncle Yang!"

Yang Min opened her mouth wide with a look of surprise, but Wu Zhenyuan felt strange.

"Why did you think of Yang in this matter? Tell me, what benefits did you receive from her?"

Wu Youyou said with a smile,

"Dad, you gave me a living person. Yang Min is my good friend. She is Uncle Yang's daughter!"

Yang Min stared at the phone, breathing nervously, wanting to hear what Wu Zhenyuan had to say.

Finally, a hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, give it to Yang!"
