Chapter 52 – Difference in Treatment (区别对待)

Xiao Haiqing could not resist rolling her eyes.

“Do you even understand? This is called biased treatment! While it’s true that her birthday has nothing to do with us, I cannot accept her discrimination. If someone brings this up in the future, who knows how they would mock you. It’s not like you don’t know how imaginative they are. Are you really planning on spending all three years of your high school life being suspected and isolated by everyone?” Xiao Haiqing advised earnestly.

If they were not in class right now, she would have already been slamming the table. com ?

Jing Yunzhao looked at Ye Qing sitting in the frontmost seat, “Then what do you think we should do? Wouldn’t it be even more laughable if I just go uninvited?”

“Hehe, actually I’ve already booked a VIP box in the restaurant. Then we can just order a whole table’s worth of food and enjoy,” Xiao Haiqing winked.

Tian Xiang Lou was the district’s most mysterious restaurant. Not only was it extremely di?cult to book a seat, the prices were also sky high. While Ye Qing’s family finances were not bad, she was a little cheap. So even though she loved her reputation, she would definitely not book a VIP box.

The both of them also would have no need to join them. When the time comes, all they needed to do was appear upstairs and let everyone have a look at them. Their purpose was not to show o?, they just wanted to prevent some gossip.

“Okay, my treat,” Jing Yunzhao smiled.

It did not really matter to her since the amount of gossip going around had never been small. However, since she already regarded Xiao Haiqing as her friend, she would heed her advice.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What are you being polite for? It’s not like I’m lacking money...” Xiao Haiqing frowned

Jing Yunzhao still insisted, “Then I won’t go.”

When Xiao Haiqing heard this, she stared at Jing Yunzhao. She pouted. She had never seen such a strict girl before, not willing to take even a little advantage of others. What a hard-ass. But speaking truthfully, she was starting to like this kind of personality more and more.

“Okay fine, it’ll be your treat. Be careful or I’ll eat till you’re broke,” Xiao Haiqing surrendered happily.

The two’s movements were not small, but Teacher Jin tried to tolerate it because of Jing Yunzhao. She didn’t expect the both of them to continue chatting even more merrily than before. She decided to just call Xiao Haiqing up to answer the question on the board. Xiao Haiqing was also a very strange girl. Even though her test scores are less than ideal, she still manages to answer the questions given in class perfectly. This left Teacher Jin with a flabbergasted expression when Xiao Haiqing returned to her seat.

A genius and a weirdo. Teacher Jin had nothing to say as the class passed by peacefully.

After a few lessons, however, Ye Qing’s figure suddenly leaped up.

Moving through the class, other than those in the bottom ranks, everyone received a similar invitation. Of course, Jing Yunzhao did not receive one either.

“Um...to those who received the invitation, my birthday is on Saturday and I’ve already booked seats in Tian Xiang Lou. Please come if you are free! Especially Class Monitor, if you don’t come then I’ll ignore you in the future!” Ye Qing’s expression was bashful as she stood up front and announced.

The gaze she used to look at Jiang Xia was full of tender feelings.

“Ye Qing, did you forget about Jing Yunzhao?” Jiang Xia suddenly asked.

These few days he had been keeping an eye on Jing Yunzhao and realized she was quite ‘pitiful’. Other than Xiao Haiqing, no one else was willing to pay attention to her. After the last time, he tried to persuade her, he had thought that she would change. He never thought that not only did she not change, but she also became even more capable instead and caused such a huge disturbance with Lu Jia from the class next door.

Jing Yunzhao’s mouth twitched. Some people just have a chronic illness of being busybodies with no cure in sight.
