Chapter 76: How Fresh

“Xu Jiaojiao, you like to gossip so much and gather it. It’s a pity that you’re not a paparazzi.” When a classmate heard Xu Jiaojiao’s words, she immediately stood up to help Jian Ai.

“That’s right. You’re always asking around about others. What a busybody.”

“If you like to gossip so much, be careful not to get your tongue cut when you go to hell.”

…

A few people spoke up for Jian Ai. Jian Ai stopped tidying the desk and looked at these students who usually treated her coldly. They were speaking up for her now?

This was fresh.

However, on second thought, Jian Ai understood. It must be because she and Xia Qinghuan had become friends.

Although Erzhong was a noble school, the aristocrats were divided into levels. Those who were worth a million yuan and those who were worth tens of millions of yuan were not the same type of people. An international company with a market value of ten billion yuan like the Xia Group could be considered a true rich family and was beyond the reach of ordinary rich families.

Many people wanted to get close to Xia Qinghuan. If they could become friends with her, they would be able to benefit their families in the future.

However, these people only thought about it because everyone heard that although Xia Qinghuan looked sweet and charming, it was not easy to become friends with her. For example, Li Yunmei took the initiative to approach Xia Qinghuan back then because Xia Qinghuan was Lin Yi’s best female friend. Li Yunmei thought that by becoming friends with Xia Qinghuan, she could indirectly approach Lin Yi.

However, it was obvious Li Yunmei returned without any results. Xia Qinghuan did not even bother to talk to her. She saw through her intentions at a glance.

Xu Jiaojiao’s face turned red when these students suddenly jumped out to make themselves look good by talking back at her. She snarled, “What does this have to do with you? Aren’t you just helping Jian Ai because she walked together with Xia Qinghuan? You’re even worse than me. You’re all fence-sitters. How did you treat Jian Ai before? Now, you still have the face to talk about me? You’re even more disgusting.”

Student A: “What are you talking about…”

Xu Jiaojiao: “What do you mean by what I am talking about? What are you talking about?! Do you think by helping Jian Ai now, you can erase the memories of how you used to bully her? You’re just deceiving yourself…”

Student B: “Who bullied Jian Ai? Tell us…”

Xu Jiaojiao: “Everyone in our class has bullied her before. Who hasn’t said bad things about her behind her back? Who hasn’t despised her family for being poor? Why? Seeing that she’s getting closer to Xia Qinghuan, none of you dare to admit it?”

Xu Jiaojiao lived up to her nickname as a little loudspeaker. She was full of energy when she argued, and her little mouth kept talking. She didn’t lose out even when she argued with a few people alone.

Jian Ai looked at the scene in front of her and wanted to laugh. She didn’t expect that there would be a day when students would split into two factions and fight over her.

However, no matter how gossipy Xu Jiaojiao was, she was telling the truth. Jian Ai naturally knew why these students were speaking up for her today. Hence, she was very calm and didn’t feel any emotions or gratitude.

She and Qinghuan hit it off very well, and Qinghuan took the initiative to befriend her. Compared to these double-faced students, Jian Ai didn’t want to spend too much effort on them.

She knew in her heart that in this school, her only friends were Guan Tao and Xia Qinghuan. Furthermore, they would be divided into classes again next week.
