Chapter 268  . Self-doubt

Zhuang Jie couldn’t understand. She frowned and looked at An Ye coldly. She gritted her teeth and asked, “An ye! You were pretending to be weak all morning. You’re good! To think I’d believed you to some extent, yet you trampled on my trust again and again like this?”

The burning pain from her ankle made Zhuang Jie’s brain lose its rationality. She felt deceived and played with, so she shook off An Ye’s hand.

“My…! An Ye tried to explain her strange behavior, but when she saw Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin’s resentful and mocking gazes, she suddenly felt like she couldn’t excuse herself.

Her words were stuck in her throat.

That’s right! How could she expect Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin to believe in her when she couldn’t even explain it with common sense or science? Just now, when she was about to die, Zhuang Jie did not trust her and thought she was lying to them!

An Ye felt that the pain in her body had disappeared entirely. She felt goosebumps all over her body. This kind of thing was too unbelievable! An Ye was terrified.

She felt the strength in her steps and thought she was a freak.

Ye Xin had already noticed something when An Ye forcefully shook her hand off. She walked in front and listened to Zhuang Jie’s questioning of An Ye. She found it very funny.

She leaned against a big tree and looked back at Zhuang Jie with a smile, “Looks like you’re still too na?ve. Do you think you can beat An Ye? In military tactics, her move was called “All is fair in war”! She’s always like this, making you feel like you’re being played by her when you can’t figure it out.”

Ye Xin looked at An Ye with dark eyes and sneered, “I’m impressed! Miss An’s tactic was excellent! Your acting skills are also top-notch; you almost fooled me! But then again, what can you get from putting in so much effort to put on this show? Would fooling and tormenting others make you feel happier? Or could it be that you can’t wait for others to see your superb acting skills? I don’t understand why you’re doing this!”

An Ye had already witnessed Ye Xin’s ability to make sarcastic remarks. She didn’t want to get entangled with this scheming person. She was now thinking about how to regain Zhuang Jie’s trust quickly. Otherwise, all the preparations she had made would be for naught. That would be a huge loss!

No matter how bad and irritable Zhuang Jie’s attitude towards her was before, she had invested too much energy into Zhuang Jie. All her plans had not succeeded yet, and An Ye could not lose this ‘friend’ of hers.

She smiled and reached out to help Zhuang Jie up. She said gently, “Jie, don’t be angry. Let me help you! Why don’t you give me your backpack? I can help you carry it!”

Looking at An Ye’s face now, Zhuang Jie only felt disgusted and loathing.

Although she used to know that An Ye was very smart and a wonderful person who knew how to do things, she didn’t expect that one day, An Ye’s little tricks would be used to scheme against her!

She thought she had always treated An Ye well and treated An Ye as her best friend. However, it wasn’t until today that she realized that their friendship seemed to be a one-sided effort from her. An Ye’s thoughts and calculations were all for her benefit!

She might be nothing to An Ye.

The ‘friendship’ between them had been shattered by such a ridiculous matter, just like Zhuang Jie’s trust in An Ye.

Zhuang Jie pushed An Ye’s hand away and sneered. “No need! I’ve finally seen through you in the past two days! You’re a selfish, despicable, and shameless b*tch! You even dared to plot against me. Do you think I’m stupid and easy to fool? If you slap me and give me candy, will I still go back and let you lie to me and use me? Do you think I’m too stupid?”

As Zhuang Jie spoke, she seemed to have been angered by An Ye. Her face was flushed as she moved closer to An Ye’s face and chuckled, “There won’t be such a possibility anymore!”
