The Little Beauty in the Courtyard

Chapter 121-130

　　Chapter 121 Invitation...

　　Xu Dan was really depressed, but she didn't know what to do. She went home and couldn't hold it in any longer, so she cried to her mother and told her everything.

　　These days, her pride has simply reached its limit.

　　She couldn't believe she would do this for someone else.

　　Working like a handyman.

　　She said, "Mom, she would never give me a chance. During this period, she sent me to do the most trivial things. After I finished, I would give them to her and she would take them to Assistant Professor Fu and the committee to claim the credit. She would only pull Wang Ran because Wang Ran is Assistant Professor Fu's cousin and Wang Ran actually has no talent in painting. So she would only pull Wang Ran in for everything. This way, she could curry favor with Wang Ran and Assistant Professor Fu, and Wang Ran would not steal her limelight."

　　Xu's mother remained silent.

　　But his expression grew gloomier as he listened.

　　After a while, he said, "You think that no matter how you try to show your kindness to her and make friends with her, she won't give you a chance. Why? Is it because of her utilitarian character, or for some other reason... because she is afraid of you and is afraid that if she gives you a chance, you will steal her limelight?"

　　Xu Dan pursed her lips and said nothing.

　　Mother Xu reached out and held her hand, and then said, "Dandan, if she is a utilitarian person, and Wang Ran is just Assistant Professor Fu's cousin, she is trying to please her in every way, then you should know that Wang Ran's background is far inferior to yours. If she is very utilitarian, then things will be simple. You can tell her about your grandfather's identity. You don't have to say it yourself, just let Zhou Yunyun reveal it behind her back, and then she will naturally flatter you, and then you can invite her and other roommates to have a meal at our house."

　　Xu Dan gritted her teeth and said after a while: "No, no, I don't think so. I think she is targeting me on purpose."

　　Mother Xu frowned and said in a sharp voice, "Targeting you? Why? Is it because she is narrow-minded and afraid that you will surpass her, so she targets you everywhere, hoping to suppress you?"

　　As he spoke, his face, which had originally relaxed, became even more gloomy.

　　That little girl is really too hateful.

　　When Xu Dan heard her say this, her face felt a little hot.

　　Even though she was aloof and didn't like Lin Xi, she knew that Lin Xi probably wasn't afraid of her being in the spotlight.

　　She was silent for a while before she continued, "No, that shouldn't be the case. It was when school started, Yunyun was talking to me in the dormitory, and she heard me talking about her."

　　She didn't want to mention this before, firstly because she felt ashamed to talk about it, and secondly to protect Zhou Yunyun.

　　But now, I have no choice but to say it.

　　She simply whispered about Zhou Yunyun's speculation about Lin Xi, saying that she seduced a rich old man to get a divorce.

　　Xu's mother: ...

　　She slapped Xu Dan on the arm and scolded him, "It's only the first day of school, and you don't know anything about the situation. You said this to your new classmates, and they heard it? And it's such a vulgar thing? Even if you guessed it in your heart, you shouldn't say it in the dormitory!"
