Ye Yihong could not bear to part with the money. Although Bai Youran was very wealthy, she rarely gave her money. They were good friends, and she had always been fawning on and currying favor with Bai Youran, but she barely gained any benefits from Bai Youran.

If not for Bai Youran's exceptional family background, she would have ignored her a long time ago.

This woman was very generous to herself but was extremely stingy to others. Although she was the daughter of a supremely wealthy family, she was petty by nature.

She was utterly selfis.h.!.+

Ye Yihong touched the 30 yuan in her pocket with hesitation.

She was worried that Bai Youran would not return her the money after taking it.

Seeing that Ye Yihong had not responded, Bai Youran frowned and complained, “Honghong, I'm talking to you! Quickly! Take out 30 yuan. Don't tell me you're so poor that you don't even have 30 yuan?”

The last sentence was filled with disdain and despise.

She was borrowing money from someone else but belittled the person.

Ye Yihong was provoked immediately. She absolutely detested it when Bai Youran looked down on her. She knew that she had no other way out, as she would probably meet with trouble in the future according to Bai Youran's character if she did not agree to her today.

She could only smile stiffly while pa.s.sing the 30 yuan to Bai Youran.

Bai Youran took it and added her own money as she paid the salesperson happily.

Gu Qingyao watched from the side silently.

Money was not something she was short of, and it was easy to win Bai Youran over.

But she knew that this was meaningless. It would not hurt Bai Youran at all, and it might even bring trouble to her teacher. Her teacher got this opportunity after much difficulty, so nothing must go wrong.

At present, she had to wait. She had to wait until her teacher establishes a solid foundation in the capital, the Gu family prospers, and for Mo Beihan to return to the capital to successfully become the successor of the Mo family.

By then, she need not worry when dealing with Bai Youran.

Gu Qingyao blinked and concealed the emotions in her eyes. Bai Youran was her enemy, and it was impossible to not seek revenge on her.

Gu Qingyao did not wish to stir trouble, but it was different for Bai Youran. After purchasing the blanket, she turned around happily and saw a beautiful young girl standing beside her.

This girl was tall and slender, and her skin was delicate and fair. Such a lady obviously lived like a pampered child, yet her clothes were very plain.

This made Bai Youran immediately a.s.sume she was an ordinary girl who was just… born very beautiful!

Women had an inherent hostility towards other women who were prettier than themselves. Especially for those self-conceited and selfish women like Bai Youran, she was immediately upset when she saw Gu Qingyao's face.

Her expression darkened. “What are you looking at? Country b.u.mpkin, is this an item that you can think about having? Make way!”

Gu Qingyao: “…”

I did not provoke you, but you came after me?

Without a change in her expression, Gu Qingyao stepped aside for Bai Youran who scoffed and left arrogantly.

The corner of Gu Qingyao's lips curled up, and she paid the required amount to the salesperson.

The salesperson looked at Gu Qingyao awkwardly as she knew that the young lady was wronged. But the young lady's facial expression did not change at all, and she was even smiling.

It was just that the smile felt a little cold.

Gu Qingyao left with her items, but she did not go elsewhere. Instead, she followed Bai Youran from a distance away.

How could she not give her a gift for their first meeting?
