Walking slowly under the lights, she truly resembled calm brows like clear autumn water, her skin like jade kissed by the gentle breeze.
No matter how expensive and high-end the dress Zhu Xiangxiang wore was, no matter how delicately and vibrantly she applied her makeup, in the face of such stunning beauty that was like a gift from the heavens, she appeared dim and dull in comparison.
Many young menâs gazes trailed the monochrome movement, their hearts and eyes unable to accommodate anything else.
The girl carried a warm and dignified aura, giving off a sense of holiness that one can only admire from afar but not disrespect. It was as if any thought of disrespecting her in oneâs heart was a desecration. Consequently, they naturally overlooked the exquisite beauty of her facial features.
The girl lowered her eyes and smiled, that smile seemed like the breaking of winter snow, heralding the arrival of spring blossoms.
Gao Jia held Ming Jingâs hand. âLet me introduce you to a few friends. Everyone wants to meet you.â
She completely ignored Zhu Xiangxiang from beginning to end, treating her as if she were air.
Zhu Xiangxiangâs face turned slightly awkward. She stood there, all alone, appearing pitiful.
At that moment, a boy appeared in front of Zhu Xiangxiang. âDonât be upset. Those people are just a bunch of snobs who only respect the strong and trample over the weak. They will regret it sooner or later.â
Zhu Xiangxiang raised her head, looking surprised. âItâs you?â
Sun Yi laughed. âAre you surprised to see me? My aunt is Gao Jiaâs mother. Technically, she and I are cousins.â
Zhu Xiangxiang laughed bitterly. âWhy do you want to help me? Iâm someone who is despised by everybody.â
Sun Yi frowned. âItâs not your fault that you were taken in by mistake. Only incapable people vent their anger on you.â
âBut everyone is saying that I drugged Ming Jing at the welcome party. Iâm a person with a malicious heart.â
âClear waters run deep. Anyway, I believe that youâre not that kind of person.â
Zhu Xiangxiang raised her eyes incredulously, the bottom of her eyes shimmering with tears. Coupled with her face that seemed on the verge of bursting into tears, it was indeed a sight that instilled pity in others.
âDo you really believe me?â
Sun Yi patted his chest, assuring. âOf course.â
Zhu Xiangxiang broke into a smile, tears streaming. âThank you.â
âI heard that Ms. Zhu ranked first in the final exam again. Could you tell us your secret to maintaining excellent academic performance?â The one who asked was a girl named Li Qingyao, the heiress of the Lis Electronics.
Everyone else seemed ready to listen attentively.
This Li Qingyao was one of the few academic stars among the second-generation rich. She had just finished her college entrance exam and was waiting for the results. She hadnât hung out much with Li Jiaojiao and the other socialites, so when she asked this question, she genuinely wanted to know rather than making insinuations.
Ming Jing thought for a moment and said, âEveryone has one-on-one tutoring from distinguished teachers. It would be presumptuous of me to share my little experience. â
âMs. Zhu, youâre too modest. I heard that you never attended school before. To achieve such results, itâs already more than genius. Youâre really different from us ordinary people.â Li Qingyao seemed to think of her own college entrance examination results and frowned deeply.
âEnough, stop talking about exams or grades, they give me a headache.â Li Jiaojiao said impatiently.
For a poor student, this was a severe humiliation.
Granny Gaoâs health was not very good. After most of the people had arrived, her daughter Gao Chen pushed her out on a wheelchair.
There was a young girl standing by Gao Chen. She was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, looking fresh and beautiful, quite eye-catching. Li Jiaojiao nudged Gao Jia. âWho is the girl in the yellow dress?â Gao Jiaâs brows slightly furrowed. âMy auntâs daughter.â
Li Jiaojiao nodded. âSheâs just like us â a debutante from Jingdu.â
The girl noticed them, smiling as she approached, warmly linking arms with Gao Jia. âCousin, arenât you going to introduce me?â
Gao Jia calmly removed her hand, putting on a fake smile. âThis is my cousin,
Bai Weining.â
Li Jiaojiao assessed her. Up close, this girl had very fair skin, as if a slight blow could break it. She had big double eyelid eyes and a very classic and beautiful face. Li Jiaojiao suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. âYou⦠arenât you a little star?â
Bai Weining suddenly leaned closer to her, blinked her big eyes, and said joyfully, âSister, do you recognize me? It seems like Iâm a little famous.â This flirtatious tone gave Li Jiaojiao goosebumps.
Li Jiaojiao said, âIâve seen your picture on gossip news. So, you really are a star.â
At that moment, Sun Qingqing added, âYouâre Bai Weining from the girl idol group Super star?â
