Gu Shengyin hadnât spoken yet when Sisi exploded: "What are you even saying? You shamelessly fantasize about Lin Ze and then try to turn it around? Whoâs really the shameless one here?"
Chang Ru also spoke up, though not as directly as Sisi: "Getting a jump on things is a skill too. If you have the ability, you can make such a man think only of you. If you donât have that skill, then shut your mouth."
The temperamental girl didnât take kindly to this and immediately started to argue with the two of them.
The commotion in the corner quickly attracted the attention of other classmates. A guy who was singing stopped the music and the microphone to come over and ask what was going on.
Sisi, quick with words, explained the situation in just a few sentences.
In an instant, many people began to look at those girls with odd expressions.
The world laughs at the poor, not at the unclean. Itâs not news for a girl to want to snag a rich husband and marry into a wealthy family.
But these people trying to steal someone elseâs boyfriend right in front of his actual girlfriend was a bit much, especially since they were all high school classmates.
The girl saw that no one seemed to be on her side and couldnât help but raise her voice: "What? Did I say something wrong? Everyone knows Zhong Changhuan isnât even Lin Zeâs girlfriend right now! What am I stealing? Is Zhong Changhuan the only one allowed to chase him just because she doesnât like him? And what did I say wrong? If Zhong Changhuan hadnât pursued Lin Ze those two years, would he still remember her so fondly now?"
"And all of you, arenât you just following the money? If Zhong Changhuan wasnât someone Lin Ze liked today, would you all still be sucking up to her and speaking for her?"
The room fell silent, with only the girlâs sharp voice echoing.
After she finished speaking, she saw that no one was responding and felt quite pleased with herself: "Whatâs the matter, I hit a nerve and you canât even refute it?"
"Youâve overthought it." The man organizing the event stood up.
He looked at the girl with disdain: "Itâs not that we canât refute you, but that weâre stunned by your shattered worldviews."
This man was also a rich second-generation. He had organized and initiated this gathering.
"Changhuan isnât Lin Zeâs girlfriend because she hasnât accepted Lin Zeâs confession. If you want to pursue Lin Ze, no one will say anything, but why ask so many people only to approach Changhuan? Even if youâre a girl, I can only say, your actions are indeed shameless."
The girlâs face turned pale.
But the man didnât stop there.
"None of us are trying to kiss up to anyone. Weâre not from the same circle, so thereâs no vested interest in each other. Classmate, donât assume everyone is as opportunist as you."
"Lastly, are you even aware of Changhuanâs status?"
"Sheâs the winner of the ADE Best New Designer Award. Do you know what kind of designers have won this award? They are all highly sought after by major luxury brands. Donât even mention the future, even now, if Changhuan casually takes on a brand appointment, her fee starts at seven figures."
He watched as her eyes widened, and he smiled wickedly: "Oh right, such high-end stuff might be beyond your comprehension. But surely youâve heard of Zhong Corporation? Changhuan is the sole heir of the Zhong Corporation."
He emphasized the word "sole" with extra weight.
