Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 126: Crappy Roommates and The Downfall of the Chen Family!

“Who’s looking for me now?” Gu Xiqiao shot Xu Jing at glance.

Her friend chuckled cheekily. “A very veryyyy handsome man. Says you know him. Um, I think you’ll know when you go down and meet him!”

Xu Jing was acting weird but Gu Xiqiao couldn’t bother with squeezing information out from her. She blinked a few times before deciding it was best for her to find out personally what was going on.

“Fine. I’ll be going down then.” Gu Xiqiao locked up her own cabinet before grabbing her phone and heading downstairs.

Bai Xinran minimized her game interface as soon as Gu Xiqiao left. Pulling her drawer open, she revealed a fancy-looking set of cosmetics. “These are repair serums I got from overseas. They’re really effective against sunburns. Here, see if you two need any of it.”

Sunscreen was completely useless against the blistering sun during their military drills; Bai Xinran as well as her friends were now heavily tanned. A glint appeared in Sun Jiajia’s eyes as soon as her ears picked up on the word “overseas”. She had a keen interest in all things foreign, especially if they were luxury goods.

Xu Jing smiled at her offer but did not walk over to pick one of her gifts up. This prompted Bai Xinran to open her mouth. “Xu Jing, would you like to try this out? Here, have a bottle. It’s really effective. I’ve been using it for three days now and see, my skin’s noticeably fairer now.”

Born into an upper-class family, Bai Xinran always treated others with arrogance. Still, that attitude of hers had paid off as it had not even been a week but she had completely won over Sun Jiajia’s heart. However, the attitudes of her other roommates were lukewarm at best. Leaving Gu Xiqiao aside, she felt that it was imperative to win over Xu Jing’s heart too.

“Oh, you’re right! Xinran, your skin’s much fairer now!” Sun Jiajia picked two bottles of Bai Xinran’s repair serum for herself.

“Thanks but no thanks. My skin’s naturally tanned. It would all end up in vain no matter what I apply on my skin.” Xu Jing politely turned down Bai Xinran’s generous offer.

‘How much difference can there be after just 3 days?’

Xu Jing’s rejection definitely surprised Bai Xinran but she had always the premonition that she would be a tough nut to crack. In an instant, she tried to change the topic. “Hey, you said someone was looking for Gu Xiqiao right? I presume it’s a guy?”

“Guy?” Sun Jiajia asked while patting the repair serum onto her face. “I thought Gu Xiqiao already had a boyfriend.”

The way she said it irritated Xu Jing. “He’s an ordinary friend. Also, having a boyfriend doesn’t mean losing her own freedom, you know? Nowadays, it’s not weird for girls to have a few good male friends around them.”

“Jiajia’s just joking, no need to be so serious.” Bai Xinran forced a smile on her delicate face. During the military drill phase, she didn’t have the things to win them over with. Still, she wanted to get Xu Jing on her side. Surprisingly, she had actually grown closer with Gu Xiqiao who had done nothing for her, than herself.

Did Xu Jing have a problem with her eyes? Bai Xinran was really frustrated about this. What did Gu Xiqiao have that she didn’t apart from better looks and a high-status boyfriend?

Bai Xinran continued smiling at Xu Jing sweetly.

‘You will regret this b*tch!’ she thought to herself.

Xu Jing mumbled a half-hearted response before grabbing her clothes and going into the bathroom. She had just become a member of the student council and subsequently, has been standing under the hot sun throughout the entire afternoon. Her shirt was soaked with sweat so taking a shower was her number one priority. Who cares about Bai Xinran and Sun Jiajia~
