Chapter 53 – The Young Miss Clothed in Gold (包着金衣的大小姐)
“Class Monitor, I didn’t forget. I just… didn’t invite her…” Ye Qing looked at Jiang Xia as if she was wronged, “It’s like this, I think birthdays should be spent happily. Gathering with unfamiliar strangers would be a bit awkward. I don’t want anyone to not enjoy themselves.”
Xiao Haiqing scoffed coldly, very unhappy to hear such shallow words. Unfamiliar?
Ye Qing was the class’s committee member and often liked to act nobly. She only had a few classmates who were really close to her. Amongst the people she had invited, most of them had never even spoken with her once. Did those people count as familiar?
She was clearly trying to embarrass Jing Yunzhao, yet she spoke as if she was the one who was being wronged; Like Jing Yunzhao owed her or something.Rip. Xiao Haiqing ripped the invitation, “Ye Qing, you’re right. Gathering with unfamiliar people would make things awkward. So I’m sorry, but I can’t attend your birthday party since we aren’t that close either. Also, Jing Yunzhao and I have already planned to have dinner together beforehand. With just us two, the atmosphere will also naturally be better.”
Xiao Haiqing’s mouth was pretty venomous, as she criticized Ye Qing in a roundabout way.
Ye Qing’s temper could not be considered good. Just that she usually likes to hold it in. However, now that Xiao Haiqing had embarrassed her in front of so many classmates, she instantly retorted, “Fine, if both of you like quiet, then go eat by yourselves. Congratulations, Jing Yunzhao, you made a friend who has money. Why don’t you just let Xiao Haiqing pay for your tuition and support you from now on too?!”
Jing Yunzhao was expressionless. “It’s only a meal. The way you’re saying it, are you planning on paying the tuition of all these students and supporting them for their entire lives?”
“Young Miss Ye Qing is so rich. She has more than enough to support everyone. Unlike me, poor to the point that I need Jing Yunzhao to treat me,” Xiao Haiqing quickly spoke to save Jing Yunzhao.
The three’s exchanges turned the whole class silent.
Ye Qing’s eyes were slightly red and her lips were curving down slightly. Her eyelashes twitched nonstop and hints of tears flashed through her eyes, looking as if she had been extremely wronged.After holding it in for a few seconds, she finally said, “Jing Yunzhao, you better watch out. Tian Xiang Lou’s dishes are expensive. Don’t forget to bring a lot of money lest you don’t have enough money to pay the bill. With your age, they can’t make you work to pay it back. However seeing as we’re classmates, when you run out of money, come look for me. Paying for one more table’s worth of dishes isn’t such a big deal.”
Ye Qing’s words were very provoking.
Jing Yunzhao pursed her lips, suddenly remembering a rumor amongst the students in her past life.
Before, she couldn’t remember who the student was, but after these past few days, only Ye Qing matched the one in her memory.
Ye Qing’s father is a businessman and operates 4-5 chain supermarkets. His market scale couldn’t be considered small and was considered to have fame and prestige in a place like Huaning County. Unfortunately, later on, her father invested his earnings into another place and got nothing in return. He even owed a buttload of debt. Ye Qing fell from being a wealthy young miss and became even poorer than normal students.
Despite that, she had been prideful since she was young and continued to act as if she had money, pushing her mother towards suicide.
Jing Yunzhao remembered that it was probably not long after she quit school in her past life when it happened. In other words, Ye Qing’s household was probably already a mess right now.
At that moment, Jing Yunzhao instantly felt disgusted by Ye Qing. A daughter who doesn’t even empathize towards her own parents. No matter how nicely she dressed, she would only make Jing Yunzhao want to puke.
