Jin Peining didn’t expect that she would be caught red-handed by the person she was speaking badly about. She lost her sharp tongue and took a step back in embarrassment.

“Yo, why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Weren’t you having a good time just now?” Lin Gantang glanced at Jin Peining. “I haven’t seen you for a few years, but you still haven’t made any progress. When we were studying, you were Shi Muzhen’s sidekick, and you couldn’t wait to serve her tea and water as a maid. Now that you’ve graduated and started working, you didn’t forget to flatter her when we have a gathering. Is servility engraved in your bones?”

“You!” Jin Peining’s face turned red from the humiliation.

“Gantang, your words are too harsh. Do you only know how to insult others just because your family is rich?” Blue Dress came to her defense.

“Just this and you can’t take it anymore? Have you guys ever cared about other people’s feelings when you talk about them? And also, who are you?” Lin Gantang looked at the woman in the blue dress.

Blue Dress’s expression froze.

Bai Xiaocan chuckled at the one in the blue dress. “Her? Ji Yinyi? Gantang, have you forgotten?” she said happily.

“Oh, I didn’t forget. I didn’t remember at all.”

Bai Xiaocan covered her mouth and laughed.

Ji Yinyi’s expression was colorful. “Gantang, you haven’t changed at all after so many years. Your words are still so unpleasant.”

“I don’t need to curry favor with anyone, do I need to act like you?” Lin Gantang sneered. “Whether you like it or not, you’re the one who insisted on coming here today to be scolded. In the end, you blame me for speaking badly ofyou?”

“You!”

“Other than ‘you, you, you’, can’t you say anything else?”

“l!”

“Alright, you don’t even know how to speak. Yet you’re learning how to quarrel from others.” Lin Gantang mocked.

Ji Yinyi almost choked to death. Her face was even redder than Jin Peining’s.

“Gantang, it’s Teacher’s birthday banquet today. Stop making a scene and hold your tongue,” ShiMuzhen said.

Lin Gantang looked at her as if she was a freak. “When have I been close with you? The last time I saw you, you called me Miss Lin in a distant manner. You guys know that it’s not good to cause a ruckus at the birthday banquet? If you have this realization, why didn’t you shut your mouth?”

When Jin Peining saw that she had even targeted Shi Muzhen, she thought that she understood the reason. She laughed mockingly. “I was wondering why Lin Gantang’s tone was so aggressive. It turns out that she’s jealous of Zhenzhen. After all, the person you like has become someone else’s fiance. You can’t get over it.”

“There’s a hundred yuan on the ground, but it’s covered in feces. Would you pick it up?” Lin Gantang suddenly asked.

“What?” Jin Peining didn’t follow her train of thought.

“Some people will probably pick it up. After all, she lacks cash. So what if it’s poop? Wipe it off and continue using it. But I’m not short of money,” Lin Gantang sneered. “I won’t even look at it, let alone pick it up.”

Bai Xiaocan glanced at Jin Peining and Ji Yinyi and smiled. “That’s right. Some people even went up and agreed. They said that the money smells so good. They’re so envious.”

Jin Peining heard Lin Gantang’s sarcasm and desperately wanted to win. “You’re just stubborn. It’s just sour grapes. It’s not embarrassing to admit your defeat.”

Ji Yinyi rolled her eyes at Lin Gantang. “You’re so proud, pretending you don’t care.”

Lin Gantang was not angry at all. She even smiled mysteriously. “Didn’t you notice? You guys are arguing for Shi Muzhen here, but the person in question isn’t even saying anything. Make a guess why?”

Because Gu Zhichuan did not love her, and because Gu Zhichuan did not acknowledge her as his so-called fiancee, Shi Muzhen’s heart was empty. Otherwise, she would have made a fuss.

Shi Muzhen’s expression changed. She was afraid that Lin Gantang would reveal the truth. “Lin Gantang, let’s talk?”
