The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family Chapter 15: Quarrel

After leaving the L Sisters, Jing Yi led Jing Zejun and Shen Xi to the outside of the banquet hall.

She looked around, found a suitable spot to sit, and took a deep breath of the fresh outdoor air.

"I've finally co back to life!" she exclaid.

The other two looked at Jing Yi with amusent. "Was it really that dramatic?"

Jing Yi nodded with a serious expression.

[It's not an exaggeration at all! Ordinary people can't handle these banquets. You have to wear a smiling mask the whole ti! You must be constantly mindful of your manners! And you can't even eat properly!]

Jing Zejun couldn't help but laugh, listening to Jing Yi's rambling.

Shen Xi sat down on a nearby wooden chair, looking up at the grand and elaborate banquet hall in the distance.

Wait, what kind of normal person attends a banquet only to sit outside?

A gentle breeze blew by, causing Shen Xi to shiver involuntarily, making the scene seem even more desolate.

Jing Yi noticed Shen Xi's movent and said with a hint of guilt in her voice, "Are you cold? Maybe we should go back inside."

Shen Xi smiled and waved her hand dismissively, "It's just a sudden temperature change, that's all." After all, how cold could it be at this ti of year?

Besides, going back ant more socializing, which Shen Xi found rather troubleso.

"Just give a few minutes, I'll go get so clothes from the car," Jing Yi said as she strode towards the parking lot.

Shen Xi watched Jing Yi's determined gait with slightly widened eyes.

Did this person even realize she was wearing an evening gown?

"Have you and Jing Yi known each other for a long ti, Miss Shen?" Jing Zejun's voice brought Shen Xi back from her thoughts. She turned her head quickly to look at him.

"I suppose it's been quite a while, four or five years now." Although she hadn't really spoken much with Jing Yi for the first two years.

When Shen Xi first t Jing Yi, her initial impression was that this person was aloof and difficult to approach.

It wasn't until later, when they both failed the sa course and ended up working together, that Shen Xi realized Jing Yi was actually quite nice.

"We were college classmates."

Jing Zejun nodded, aware that Jing Yi had studied Financial Managent abroad. Although it didn't seem like a major Jing Yi would choose, he didn't think much of it.

"Are you also interested in Financial Managent, Miss Shen?" Jing Zejun asked curiously.

Shen Xi smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I'm not interested in it at all. I even failed a course because I couldn't understand it. I just didn't have any particular interests at the ti, so I followed my brother's choice and went for Financial Managent."

Listening to Shen Xi's words, Jing Zejun's lips curved into an involuntary smile.

It seed that Jing Yi's friend was quite an interesting person as well.

Perhaps seeing that Jing Zejun was a very gentle person, Shen Xi beca more talkative.

"The reason I beca friends with Jing Yi was because she also failed a course at that ti. We ended up spending every day in the library together, keeping each other accountable..."

At that ti, Shen Xi was very surprised to see Jing Yi collecting her grade report in the office.

As Jing Yi's classmate, Shen Xi naturally knew about her grades - she was consistently in the top three of their class, a true academic star.

She never imagined that Jing Yi would fail a course, let alone the sa one she had failed.

It's no wonder Shen Xi was surprised. After all, she couldn't have known that so classmates could change so dramatically over the course of their studies.

Even now, Shen Xi still thought it was just her own stereotyping that had led her to misunderstand Jing Yi.

When Jing Yi had first arrived, she knew that her original self's major was Financial Managent, and she was utterly desperate.

She was a pure liberal arts student - wasn't this asking for her life?

It wasn't until she had failed several courses and caught the attention of her professors, along with the looming crisis of not being able to graduate, that Jing Yi forced herself to catch up intensively.

anwhile, the two were engrossed in their conversation.

On the other side, Jing Yi had already reached the parking lot and retrieved several pieces of clothing from the car.

Just as she was leaving the parking lot, she heard so familiar voices.

"It's such a pity, we didn't get to chat much with the second young master of the Jing family earlier!"

"I know! I had just said hello, and he left. I wanted to talk more!"

"Hey, did you see Jing Zejun's expression earlier? He looked so provincial! Hasn't he heard of English nas before?"

"Oh Lucy, he's only just entered high society. He grew up in a small town, you have to be understanding."

"And that fake heiress too, if I were her, I wouldn't have the face to co back."

"This is the Jing family we're talking about. Of course she'd want to cling on, even if she has to force her way in. You don't know, but I bet even the Jing family's bathroom is bigger than where she used to live!"

"Haha, Lucinda, your tongue is so sharp!"

"But I thought they seed to have a pretty good relationship."

"Lucy, don't be so naive. Can't you see such obvious acting? Co on, they're just keeping up appearances."

"Putting on airs, it's all just because of her status as the Jing family's daughter. What's there to be so proud of?"

"Do you know that Jing Zejun is an actor? I saw her auditioning last ti. I thought after she was brought back, she'd obediently play the role of the Jing family's daughter, but who knew she'd still be acting in films."

"Lulu, are you trying to steal her job?"

"Beco a celebrity? I'm not that cheap. My dad would scold if he knew!"

They were mocking Jing Zejun while walking towards the parking lot when suddenly a figure appeared in front of them.

Jing Yi stood before them, holding the clothes. Her lips curved into a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

The three girls' expressions clearly showed panic. They had thought the parking lot would be empty and had spoken freely.

"Ladies, just co from the restroom?" Jing Yi's languid voice drifted over.

Upon hearing Jing Yi's words, the three girls' faces darkened.

"...Miss Jing, we were just..."

After all, Jing Yi was a mber of the Jing family, and the three girls were sowhat wary, not daring to confront her directly.

"If you didn't co from the restroom, does that an your little mouths have been sared with laxatives?"

The girl who had called Jing Zejun cheap earlier stepped forward, "Miss Jing, aren't you being too harsh?"

Jing Yi raised an eyebrow and let out a laugh. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes turned to the girl, making her tremble involuntarily.

"Harsh? Ladies, you should be grateful I'm only saying a few words."

"You!"

"What about ? Your speech is so halting, perhaps you should consider going back to the drawing board? Is it fashionable now to wrap up your cerebellum and use your cerebrum as a decoration?"

"What are you so proud of? You're nothing but a substitute picked up by the Jing family. To put it nicely, you don't even qualify as an illegitimate child!" The person standing on the left blurted out, sowhat flustered.

Jing Yi chuckled lightly, her eyes full of innocence, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Well, at least I'm a person with a sense of sha. I wouldn't flatter soone to their face and curse them behind their back."

"If you can't speak properly, next ti you attend a banquet, I suggest you don't sit at the sa table as others."

Lucy's face had turned red. She wanted to say sothing more, but the two people beside her pulled her away, preparing to leave.

Watching their retreating figures, the smile slowly faded from Jing Yi's lips, her eyes darkening.
