Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Double Standard
“Is this any of your business?” Zhong Nianyao said with a mocking smile, looking at Shen Yixue, “Or are you saying you’re interested in Li Jingming, and that’s why you care so much!”
From the original host’s mories, she could tell that Shen Yixue was no easy target.
Shen Yixue had been specially recruited into Tenglong Academy because of her excellent grades. Although she was a special recruit, her pure appearance and good grades, combined with her eloquence, made her quite popular at the academy.
However, Shen Yixue wasn’t as simple and kind as she appeared. She was keeping those people’s hopes up while also looking for a partner.
“Nianyao, what nonsense are you talking about!” Shen Yixue’s cheeks flushed red, “Jingming and I are just good friends. Don’t make it sound so sleazy.”
She entered Tenglong Academy with a clear goal—to marry into a wealthy family.
Yet, she was also very self-aware. Those top-tier wealthy family heirs wouldn’t take her seriously. A fling, perhaps, but marrying into the family was out of the question.
Li Jingming was just right for her. The Lai family was a wealthy family in Imperial Capital, but Li Jingming wasn’t a legitimate son; he was a bastard. With that kind of status, if she tried a bit harder, she could still marry up.
Zhong Nianyao nodded, “You said in front of this huge crowd that I liked Li Jingming, and that was considered kind. But when I say you like Li Jingming, it becos sothing disgusting.”
“Shen Yixue, I’ve realized that you really are quite the hypocrite!”
With that statent, the expressions on the faces of the others beca sowhat strange.
Shen Yixue’s face turned even redder with anger, and she was unable to utter a word of rebuttal, only able to glare angrily at Zhong Nianyao.
“Enough, Zhong Nianyao, shut up.” Li Jingming stepped forward, standing in front of Shen Yixue and glaring angrily at Zhong Nianyao, “She—”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Zhong Nianyao interrupted him.
Zhong Nianyao nodded seriously, “Whatever she is, I don’t care, just—”
Suddenly, Zhong Nianyao burst into a radiant smile, “Li Jingming, please get lost.”
As Zhong Nianyao’s brilliant smile unfolded, the group following Li Jingming was sowhat stunned.
Zhong Nianyao’s stunning beauty was suddenly on full display, her smile containing a breezy confidence. She seed to co alive all at once, as radiant and vibrant as the sun in the sky.
Even Li Jingming, who always disliked Zhong Nianyao, felt a mont of daze.
Shen Yixue also noticed Li Jingming’s unusual behavior and felt a flicker of panic in her heart, softly calling his na.
Li Jingming snapped out of his daze.
“Zhong Nianyao, then you better live up to your word. Don’t bother again, or don’t bla for being rude.”
“Heh, you can be absolutely sure,” Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming with a mocking smile, “With your weakling figure, I’m really not interested.”
Li Jingming’s face showed a mont of embarrassnt, and he quickly turned and left.
Shen Yixue gave Zhong Nianyao a deep look before she hurried after Li Jingming.
As for the others, they looked at each other and remained silent.
Everyone withdrew their gazes and began to leave.
Zhong Nianyao wasn’t much interested in that crowd of young n, but when her gaze accidentally swept over one of them, her eyes suddenly lit up.
