Rao Jie didn't want to say anything about Jiang Chuchu. After all, they had been very close during their freshman year. If she told Wu Xin, given her temperament, she would probably fly back and start a fight. There was no need for that; it would only make things awkward, and she didn't want to waste her energy on them anymore.
"It doesn't matter who it is; I don't want to dwell on this," she said.
"Why not? You have to get revenge! How can you let those two bitches go unpunished? You're the victim here; they need to know you're not someone to mess with. You're just too soft-hearted. No way, I'm coming back to help you," Wu Xin insisted.
"Really, it's unnecessary. In love, there are no victims, only whether you love or not. I just don't want to waste my time and feelings on them anymore. Right now, the most important thing is finding a place for myself."
Wu Xin looked at Rao Jie, unsure if she was seeing through everything or if she was so heartbroken that she couldn't bear to face them again. She guessed it was the latter. Since Rao Jie didn't want to bring it up, Wu Xin didn't press her further and said, "Didn't we just agree? You can stay at my place indefinitely. My parents have immigrated, so the house is empty. My brother is just an accident; you don't need to worry about him."
"Maybe it's not such a good idea; it could be a bit inconvenient."
"Do you have enough money to rent a place right now? Rent these days is usually one month deposit and three months' rent upfront. Can you afford that? And don't forget, you're in your senior year; you have to prepare for the graduate entrance exam. You won't have time to work and earn money, right? Think about it."
Wu Xin was smarter than her and understood the situation better. She hit the nail on the head regarding Rao Jie's helplessness. Since she had run away from home, she couldn't ask her family for money. The little cash she had would barely cover her food expenses, let alone accommodation.
"So living at my place is the best choice. Just ignore my brother; that's just how he is. He can be fierce, but you have to be fiercer than him; otherwise, he'll intimidate you."
Rao Jie chuckled nervously. How could she dare to be fierce with Wu Rong? To be honest, Wu Rong was really handsome; their whole family had great genes. Wu Xin had been the school beauty in high school, and Wu Rong's looks were even more refined than hers.
But Rao Jie was still afraid of him. She recalled how he stormed out earlier, slamming the door so hard that her notebook nearly got smashed. Her legs trembled at the thought.
No matter how handsome he was, his perpetually fierce expression made him intimidating. Only someone bold would dare approach him; as for Rao Jie, she was timid and couldn't even look at him for more than five seconds.
"Your brother seems really angry; maybe it's best not to bother him. I'll think of another way tomorrow—there has to be… some way."
Wu Xin looked at Rao Jie and comforted her, "Staying here is the best option; trust me, I have ways to deal with him."
Rao Jie paused in surprise. "Did you just say you'd tell your parents?"
Wu Xin laughed heartily and replied, "My parents are pushing for marriage right now, so my brother is terrified of being found out."
"Marriage? Your… brother doesn't look that old!"
Wu Xin smirked mischievously. "My parents think since he's young and successful now, he should find a partner quickly; otherwise, it will be harder when he gets older."
"You've noticed his bad temper too, huh? Most people can't handle his strange moods. With that fierce demeanor of his, it's a wonder he’s still single—an eternal bachelor!"
"Even though he's spent several years in open Western countries doing academic research every day, my parents are worried he'll end up lonely forever, so they've started arranging things for him a few years earlier than usual."
