Chapter 574: Chapter 578: Singlehood (Part 3)

The Su Family wasn’t particularly wealthy. Although Zhu Zhhua was super strict with her daughter, she was also willing to invest heavily in her.

Otherwise, the original owner wouldn’t have been nurtured so excellently.

But similarly, Su Li couldn’t figure out just like the original owner couldn’t, why her mother invested so much in her daughter, raised her to be so outstanding, better than most girls her age, just so she could have something presentable to talk about when she got married?

Thinking this way, no matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like a loss?

It was like carefully cultivating a fine peony and then giving it away for free, pot and all.

The complexity of the human heart was something that, even though Su Li had been through many worlds and had seen much of human nature, she still hadn’t completely understood even now.

The light luxury brand in the bag, a dress, cost almost half a month of Zhu Zhhua’s salary, clearly showing how much value she placed on this matchmaking banquet.

Su Li feared that if she truly didn’t attend, her cheap mom would literally tear her to pieces.

Raising an eyebrow, Su Li gestured with her fingers to a pretty waitress nearby.

Without meaning to, the charm she exuded made the small heart of the waitress thump wildly twice.

Covering her rapidly reddening face, the waitress pointed at herself in astonishment, her lips silently asking, "Me?"

Seeing Su Li blink, she excitedly moved over, continually psyching herself up inside: I like handsome guys... I like handsome guys...

In reality, her mind, split in two, was already shrieking like a groundhog.

So beautiful, I think I’m swayed.

"Miss, you’re so beautiful, I think this dress suits you very well, you must look very pretty in it."

Su Li didn’t know that she had inadvertently flirted with the waitress before her.

She smiled and pushed the intact shopping bag towards the waitress, and then, flashing her teeth in a smile, she left money for the refreshments and departed gracefully.

By the time Rouxin caught her breath, the stunning beauty who had quickened her heartbeat was long gone, leaving behind only the gift she had promised to give.

She was very annoyed, feeling that she hadn’t even gotten the beautiful woman’s contact information, not knowing whether they would have the chance to meet again.

She recognized the brand on the shopping bag. It was a niche but decent brand, the sort that elders typically liked.

She had a well-mannered cousin who really liked this brand.

Rouxin had noticed that mother and daughter with an oddly compelling aura the moment they stepped in.

But it was only because of Zhu Zhhua’s dominance that she felt something and repeatedly couldn’t help but pay attention.

Before, that beautiful girl seemed beautiful but adorably non-aggressive. After just a turn, whatever the mother and daughter discussed, the beautiful girl suddenly became exceptionally sharp, shining brightly.

That kind of beauty drew the eye and made it hard to look away.

Discarding everything that had happened, Su Li slowly made her way back to the dormitory.

She was still a senior student now, and needed to study.

And the original owner was a proper study whiz, her desk piled high with books, mostly postgraduate entrance exam materials.

Since her freshman year, the original owner had included postgraduate studies in her life plan, but in her previous life, she never completed this step of the plan.

The university she was attending now was nationally renowned, which was what Zhu Zhhua was most proud of.

But according to Zhu Zhhua, attending a prestigious university was enough, as a girl didn’t need too high an education, otherwise it would intimidate many men.

Little did she know that many highly educated women, after wasting their youth, became old maids. In the end, they still ended up following others’ footsteps, marrying and having children, and because they were older, all the good ones were taken, leaving only leftovers.

The original owner greatly disliked this objectifying view of women, but she didn’t know how to change her mother’s mindset.

Su Li flipped through the postgraduate materials on hand. They were still rather simple, after all, she had been a tech magnate.

Moreover, she had never stopped pursuing knowledge.

While Su Li flipped through the books, the door to the dormitory was pushed open. Three fashionably dressed girls entered the room chatting and laughing.

Seeing Su Li, their voices unanimously hushed, and the smiles on their faces slightly diminished.

The original owner particularly liked to study, and throughout almost four years of university, her relationship with the other three roommates had always been lukewarm and not very close.

One of the girls, who was a master of social graces, flashed her smile again and greeted Su Li, "Su Li, you’re studying again?"

Not one to slap a smiling face, Su Li returned a faint smile, "Yes."

"You really love studying, Su Li."

"Today, the campus heartthrob from the department next door even specifically asked about you...." The girl who said this had obvious jealousy on her face.

The girl who had greeted Su Li first tried to smooth things over, "Don’t mind her, Su Li. Xiao Xi is just like that, straight to the point...."

Continuing, the girl turned her head, brimming with curiosity as she leaned toward Su Li and asked, "But still, I’m curious. Su Li, throughout four years of college, with so many upperclassmen and underclassmen expressing interest in you, you never took a fancy to any? You could line them up from here to the school gates."

Su Li gently pushed the girl’s arm away and said indifferently, "You’re pressing down on my book, please move aside."

"Ah, sorry, sorry...."

"Zhi Zhi, why are you asking her this? Anyway, you don’t know what people outside say about her, calling her a weirdo."

The girl named Xiao Xi pulled away Zhi Zhi, who was good at socializing, and they gathered in a huddle, whispering secrets and once more laughing carelessly.

According to Su Li’s keen hearing, what they considered to be whispering was clearly audible to Su Li.

"The girls in the department next door are secretly saying... she might have a peculiar fetish."

"Maybe she doesn’t like guys, who knows... That campus heartthrob, one look from him and I’m so thrilled I could faint, yet Su Li is totally indifferent, maybe it’s because...."

"Don’t guess so wildly. Maybe she just doesn’t fancy the guys here in school; she might have higher aspirations. Honestly, Su Li is really beautiful."

Society’s decline! Students at a prestigious university of such low character! Not thinking about studies but rather dwelling on crooked schemes.

Su Li shook her head regretfully, pressing down on the recording pen in her hand that was flashing a red light....

Then, she decided she should be a good person.
