Chapter 125: Bitter Sarcasm

“You…”

“Counselor.” Qiao Mianmian walked in slowly.

Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei glared at her.

Hatred and anger could be seen in their eyes.

Qiao Mianmian sighed quietly as she saw their expressions.

They had been roommates for three years and nothing had happened so far.

All of a sudden, they couldn’t even be friends any longer.

There was only half a year left, and most of it would be spent on internships and attachments outside of school.

Moreover, they would be moving into another room. It would be less awkward now that they didn’t have to face each other every day.

“They don’t have to apologize to us. Let’s close this case right here.” Qiao Mianmian didn’t bother getting an apology from them. It wouldn’t be sincere, anyway.

It didn’t matter the least.

“Student Qiao, are you saying you’ve forgiven them?”

Qiao Mianmian smiled. “I wouldn’t consider it forgiving. They don’t need it from me, anyway.”

“Then…”

“Let’s end things here.” Qiao Mianmian said, “If there’s nothing else, Luo Luo and I will get packing.”

“Alright, alright.” The counselor couldn’t wait for this to come to a close too.

He immediately nodded. “Then, let’s do it your way. Since you still have to pack your bags, I’ll get going first. Oh, right. Student Qiao, if there’s anything you need, feel free to come and look for me.”

Qiao Mianmian smiled politely. “Thank you, we’ll settle this on our own.”

“Alright, then. I’ll get going. Come to me if you need help and I’ll do what I can.”

“Sure. Thank you, Counselor.”

“No worries, this is my duty.”

…

When the counselor left, Qiao Mianmian got to packing her bags.

Jiang Luoli went over and helped her with it.

She didn’t have many belongings, so it would be pretty fast with another person’s help.

When they were done packing, they took their bags and luggage and were ready to leave.

“Haha.” A burst of weird laughter could be heard. “In this day and age, it seems better to find a capable man than to be capable ourselves. One could get to live in a mansion and sit in a luxury car without having to work hard for it at all. That’s more than most people could ever achieve in their lifetimes.”

“With a rich and powerful man, you don’t have to earn any money on your own and can even have your teachers and schoolmates bow down to you. No wonder any girl with some looks would go for this easy way out.”

“That’s right. She just has to open her legs to get what she wants.”

“It’s best she moves out. It’s hard to live in the same room as someone with such terrible values. It’d be bad if she influences us.”

“Haha, what are you worried about? Are you pretty like her? She’s born with an innocent look, the look that rich men like. To you, she has bad values. But to those rich guys, she’s pure and innocent.”

They sang the same tune of bitter sarcasm.

The jealousy in their voices was unmistakable.

But Qiao Mianmian had already walked out the door.

Chapter 126: You’re Killing Their Momentum!

And yet, when she heard it, she stopped in her tracks and turned around.

“Are you talking about me?” She was rather expressionless and her tone was surprisingly calm.

Bai Xiao glanced at her and sneered. “Whoever we’re talking about knows best.”

“Hmph.”

Qiao Mianmian continued gazing at her expressionlessly. She found it more amusing than infuriating, actually. “Mm, what you said was right.”

Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei were stunned as they looked at her skeptically.

They insulted her and she said they were right?

Was she a fool?

Qiao Mianmian looked at them like they were the silly ones instead and calmly said, “I do have a pretty face, and the rich people happen to like girls like me. I can’t help it.”

Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei were speechless.

So was Jiang Luoli standing behind her.

Baby, are you really saying this?

You’re killing their momentum!

“There’s no use in being jealous. Our looks are given to us by our parents, we can’t change it. Even making a living out of having good looks is a kind of ability too. Not everyone is so capable or lucky. After all, the Heavens favor a small minority of people.”

There was no response.

“And those like me are meant to marry into rich families to live a good life. How many rich madams have you seen working hard for an income? They just leave it to the men to earn a living, just like me. All I have to do is make sure I remain pretty.”

There was no response.

“Everyone has a different life, it’s pointless to be indignant over it. If you’re really so jealous or envious of me, there actually is a way to change your destiny.” She paused for a moment before saying very sincerely, “You can go for cosmetic surgery. By then, you should be able to get a slightly rich man, even if you don’t do as well as me. I believe you can do it, all the best!”

With that, she even gestured a clenched fist to cheer them on.

Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei had awful expressions on their faces.

“Pfft.”

Jiang Luoli was almost tearing up from laughing.

She had never realized how good Qiao Mianmian was at talking.

She wasn’t exactly scolding them, but she managed to make Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei so angry.

This was probably the greatest achievement of arguing.

She had never seen Qiao Mianmian do this to anyone before.

But now she realized it wasn’t that she couldn’t, but simply that she never found a reason to.

Bai Xiao and Zhang Yuwei really asked for this.

Jiang Luoli felt so good to see their terrible expressions now.

“Hmph.” They heard a scoff coming from behind them.

Qiao Mianmian was stunned at first when she heard the man’s low, alluring laughter. She slowly turned around.

The lights in the hallway were dim.

The man was donned in a full black outfit, standing behind her quietly. His deep eyes reflected the warm glow while his facial features were indescribably beautiful.

The way he looked at her so gently and deeply had Qiao Mianmian feeling as if he was sweeping her soul off her feet.

That presence he exuded and the air of charming danger…

He was full of desire.
