“Right?” Xia Ling had originally been studying the location of the potted hydroponic plant, but after hearing that, she turned and gave a brilliant smile. “Right, you think it looks good too, right? Originally, the stylist at home had given me a small diamonds hair clip, but I thought it was too heavy and didn’t like it, so I just randomly took this scarf. Pei... Er, I mean my Brother, has given me a dozen. If you like them, I’ll bring another one for you the next time I go back home.”

“Really?” The girl was very surprised, yet at a loss. “How could I ask that of you?”

“What’s there to feel sorry about? It’s only a scarf,” Xia Ling said with a smile. She did not know the value of this silk scarf and Pei Ziheng had never told her either. But whatever she liked and thought looked good, he would prepare an abundance of it for her no matter how expensive and rare it was. In Xia Ling’s eyes, this silk scarf was no different from the ones sold in the mall.

The girl hesitated and thanked her.

Some girls around them were extremely envious, and at the same time they were certain of one thing—Xia Ling was really rich, even richer than they had imagined! They couldn’t resist their curiosity and asked, “Xiao Ling, I heard that the day you came to report, the BMW you rode was borrowed? Why didn’t you take your family’s car?”

Xia Ling was shocked. “Why are you asking that?”

A few girls looked at each other and one of them said, “Don’t blame us for gossiping, but last time, Li Bingman said that you can’t afford to stay in Training Camp and slandered you by saying your family didn’t even have a decent car.”

Xia Ling heard this for the first time and felt very angry. “Humph, she’s the poor one! My family is richer than hers!” Unconsciously, she had already regarded Pei Ziheng as her family. His house was her house. However, once the words were out of her mouth, she suddenly realized it was wrong—didn’t she say she was going to be low-key?

Boohoo, what kind of family background did Li Bingman have, she was the Diva’s younger sister and even though the family wasn’t some super-rich and powerful one, they didn’t lack money in the least. If compared to the Pei family, of course, the Li family was lacking, but when the Li family was put within the circle of trainees here? The families that were able to send their children here all had a little bit of money but were not super-rich. Li Bingman was already considered an outstanding rich lady. If she said she was richer than Li Bingman, wasn’t she exposing herself?

Sure enough, Xiao Hua exclaimed softly, “Xiao Ling, I knew you weren’t an ordinary person.”

Xia Ling wanted to cry. Boohoo, wasn’t she supposed to be low-key? “Actually, actually my family is also ordinary,” she whispered, trying to make up for it.

A girl wearing an emerald ring chuckled. “Forget it, Xiao Ling. You can stop pretending. You have all these Swiss candies, these bags, and Hermes, we can’t even afford a full set. Who would believe you when you say your family is ordinary?”

Xia Ling widened her eyes slightly. “Are these things that expensive?”

“If you overdo it, it’s arrogance,” a senior middle school Chief said jokingly. “If you have money, you should admit it, it’s not even a shameful thing. You can even use it to provoke those who look down on you! You don’t wish for those people to mess around outside by smearing your name and bad-mouthing you, right?”

That was true...

At the thought of Li Bingman’s scornful face, Xia Ling could not suppress her anger.

Looking at the table full of bags, accessories, and candies, Xia Ling decided to be a little more high-profile and reveal a little bit of herself. “Well, the car that sent me here that day was borrowed. My brother’s car is too eye-catching and isn’t suitable.”

The girls made another small exclamation.

“What car?” they asked curiously.

Xia Ling smiled a little and didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to expose Pei Ziheng’s Rolls-Royce. The driver had told her that there weren’t many Rolls-Royce in the entire S City. If she were to expose that and it was checked by someone, they might be able to identify her. “Eat the candies.” She grabbed a bunch of candies for everyone.

Several girls laughed and changed the topic with interest.

Ever since they discovered Xia Ling was actually super rich, she started to have a different status in their hearts—she used to be a freshman who had an average history and was a new Chief they shouldn’t really get too close to, but now she had become a rich “Miss Perfect” that was worthy of being friends with. Who wouldn’t want to have more wealthy friends?

Those who were more calculative thought even deeper—

Li Bingman’s background was so tough, how could she be ousted so arrogantly by this little girl?

Unless the background of this little girl was tougher!

The group of people each held different thoughts as they accompanied Xia Ling for the entire afternoon.

On the field, Li Bingman and the bunch of trainees were perspiring profusely as they ran. It was soon nightfall and they had still yet to finish their designated hundred laps. Li Bingman only felt that her legs were as heavy as lead, and the sweat stuck to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. What made her feel even worse was the many people gathered around the field, pointing at her from time to time and covering their mouths to laugh at her. It made her very angry but helpless.

Xia Ling!

She remembered this name. She must dismember this lowly girl!

“No, I can’t.” A girl running beside Li Bingman stopped in despair. “I, I can’t run anymore, I’ll take a break.” Then she sat down on the ground.

Li Bingman ignored her and ran by herself.

Resting for an hour more was wasting an hour of lessons. She couldn’t afford to waste that time. No matter how difficult it was, she must finish the laps! One after another, many people left the team and gave up, planning to take a break and rest before continuing—Xia Ling had only ordered them to run a hundred laps within a day but had not restricted them from taking breaks in the middle, so they were making use of this loophole to slack off.

Li Bingman looked down on them. Didn’t they know they would be more tired the more they rested for this kind of long-distance marathon?

She gritted her teeth and ran forward, her ears humming and her sight gradually blurred by sweat. Suddenly, she heard a panicked voice come from somewhere far away. “Sister Bingman, it’s, it’s not good!”

She was too busy to pay attention to it and continued to run mechanically.

The voice was getting closer and a few people followed her and said next to her, “Sister Bingman, go and see quickly! Xia Ling has brought a bunch of people and have thrown all your stuff out of the dormitory! Your favorite tea set was also broken by them!”

“What?!” Li Bingman was caught off guard and stopped in her tracks. “How dare she?!” Anger rushed up and Li Bingman finally refused to run. She shoved the people beside her violently and ran in the direction of the dormitory. A few of her followers quickly kept up with her pace.

Near the field, the onlookers saw that the scene was getting exciting, and they exchanged glances. “Look, Li Bingman is going to find Xia Ling for revenge! Let’s go and see quickly, we have a show to watch!”

The large group of people followed Li Bingman towards the direction of the dormitory.

As Li Bingman rushed up to the third-floor corridor, the first thing she saw was the mess on the ground.
