Meanwhile, Long Jinjing and her friends were also on the road, talking about their chance encounter with Iris’ group at the spa.

Chen Fei was driving her car. Long Jinjing sat beside her on the front passenger seat, while their other friend sat in the backseat.

Long Jinjing and Chen Fei were best friends. They met each other in middle school and became inseparable ever since. They went to the same high school and university. While Long Jinjing majored in Finance, Chen Fei majored in Marketing.

They met their other friend in business school. That was why Iris didn’t recognize her from the original’s memories.

"Wow. Iris Long is even more beautiful in person. She’s also very nice," their friend commented. "Totally unlike how you painted her, Xiao Fei. Whenever you talk about Iris, you make her sound like a monster."

"That’s because she is. You have no idea of the hell Jinjing went through in the hands of that evil b*tch," Chen Fei spat.

"That was all in the past, Xiao Fei," Jinjing said. "I heard that my sister has changed. And it seems that it’s true. Our father is very pleased that she has matured and became sensible."

"Hmph! You think a person can change just like that? I don’t believe it." Chen Fei looked very skeptical.

"People CAN change especially after experiencing a traumatic event. Remember that my sister almost died in that car crash and went into coma for an entire year. Her personality change must be because of that trauma. She has experienced a lot. Let’s not be so harsh on her," Jinjing said.

Chen Fei harrumphed and then sneered. "I still don’t believe that she really changed. I will never forget how she bullied you before, Jinjing. I also will never forget about how I suffered bald patches on my head for a few months because she ripped my hair off my head."

"That’s because you scratched her face, Xiao Fei. She’s a celebrity and her face is very important," Jinjing said.

"She started it! She insulted you so my hands automatically moved on their own to attack her," Chen Fei tried to justify her past action. Then she shrugged. "Whatever. I don’t think I’ll ever like her. Don’t worry. I won’t fight with her as long as she doesn’t do anything to you. She better not bully you again or I’ll expose her black heart to those brain-dead Black Stars and the whole world."

"Hey! I’m a Black Star and I’m not brain-dead!" their other friend complained in the backseat. "Want me to whack you with my mighty slippers?! Huh, Xiao Fei?"

Chen Fei ignored her.

"Please don’t do that. She’s my sister. Father will be sad if people attack her," Jinjing said.

"You’re a very kind and compassionate person, Jinjing. That’s good. We love you for that. But more often than not, you’re too kind that others are taking advantage of you. You have to realize that there are people in the world who don’t deserve your kindness. You call that evil b*tch your sister, but does she even consider you as her sister?"

Uncertainty flashed in Long Jinjing’s eyes.

"See? Even you’re not sure. Don’t be fooled just because she acted nice today. Remember that we’re in a public place. She’s a celebrity and she has to watch her image and reputation. We’ll only know if she really changed once we meet her again without the prying eyes of other people."

Their other friend interrupted them. "I don’t really know exactly what happened between you and Iris before, but I think that everyone deserves a second chance. Xiao Jing, I hope that you can have a good sister relationship with Iris."

"Me too," Long Jinjing whispered.

Chen Fei snorted, still not trusting that Iris really changed for the better. Meeting her in person again after more than two years made her feel some phantom pain in the previous bald spots on her head. Her grudge against Iris was something that wouldn’t be so easy to forget.
