“I don’t believe that Nangong Nuannuan would stop her good friends from getting to know her family.”

“Yeah!”

Li Shanshan was annoyed by the crowd. Just as she was about to re-explain the understanding of wealthy families that she had gained over the years, a bus stopped opposite the venue. Gu Xiaoli got off. Before the bus left, she saw Nangong Nuannuan’s eye-catching appearance.

“Nuannuan! Qingxuan!” Gu Xiaoli happily waved at the two of them.

“Xiaoli!” Nangong Nuannuan and Mu Qingxuan smiled and waved at Gu Xiaoli. They did not mind that she had just gotten off the bus.

Gu Xiaoli smiled and ran to Nangong Nuannuan’s side. Then, she happily greeted Chi Yang and the Nangong brothers. Nangong Nuannuan introduced Gu Xiaoli to her family members.

Everyone, from Old Master Nangong to the Nangong brothers, greeted Gu Xiaoli politely with a smile on their faces. They did not look down on Gu Xiaoli just because they were from a wealthy family.

“Tsk tsk, didn’t someone just say that because Nangong Nuannuan is from a wealthy family, she doesn’t know how to be friends with ordinary people? Your words are coming back to bite you!”

“I saw that girl get off the bus just now. Now, she’s happily chatting to Nangong Nuannuan’s family.”

“What a slap in the face!”

“Hey, hey, get away from her! Don’t stand beside this girl. Can’t you see that she has a really twisted worldview? She tries to manipulate everything to fit her narrative because she has issues admitting her own shortcomings. Because of that, even though goddess Nuannuan was her classmate, they never had much of a relationship.”

With that, the group of girls who had been standing around Li Shanshan distanced themselves from her, leaving her by herself.

Li Shanshan was so angry that she was trembling. However, when she saw Gu Xiaoli joking with the Nangong family’s handsome brothers, she grew extremely envious.

She hated Zhong Qianqian to death. She cursed her to reincarnate as a pig in her next life.

After all, if not for Zhong Qianqian, she and Wu Wenqian would not have targeted Nangong Nuannuan as much as they did. If she had not done that, even if she did not have a good relationship with Nangong Nuannuan in the past, she could still rely on her good social butterfly skills to become friends with her in the present.

As she saw Gu Xiaoli, a student just like her, actually getting to the Nangong family through Nangong Nuannuan, she was especially angry.

Li Shanshan’s heart was like a shaken bottle of mixed emotions ready to erupt at any minute. The taste of something sour, bitter, astringent, and smelly rushed into her mouth, and her expression grew sour.

Not long after, Yan Fangfang, Leng Qirui, and Guo Junhao arrived at the venue one after another. They all stood around Nangong Nuannuan.

Because of Nangong Nuannuan’s big group of family and friends, she was beginning to form a crowd of her own.

Li Shanshan argued with herself for a long time. Finally, because she could not withstand the shock and yearning that the Nangong family brought her any longer, she walked up to Nangong Nuannuan.

“Hi, Nuannuan. Are you also taking the exam today?”

Nangong Nuannuan, who had been happily chattingto her friends, looked at Li Shanshan, who had just greeted her in a friendly manner, and her smile faded.

The young masters of the Nangong family, who initially smiled as gently as a spring breeze when they saw Gu Xiaoli, a girl whose family was poorer than Li Shanshan’s, also lost their smiles when they saw their sister’s one fade.

When these people smiled, it was like a gentle wind was caressing you. It felt like their smile was a magnetic field that made everyone want to get closer to them.

However, they were all still upper-class people. Once they stopped smiling and put away their spring-like temperament, all that was left was the imposing aura of ticked-off upper-class people.
