Chapter 379: Chapter 379 The Huge Group of Relatives and Friends (3)_1

"Hey, kid, if there’s nothing bothering you, why are you blushing? Us guys here are dying of envy, you know." Lin Shaohui had just finished speaking when their two other roommates, Dai Weicheng and Li Zhenghao, also voiced their agreement, "We’re green with envy."

"Enough with the jealousy. I think the other classes of our faculty are the ones who should really envy us. Look, another beauty has appeared. But, she truly can’t compare to the great beauty, Situ Xin," Lin Shaohui remarked as he looked at the girl who walked in, feeling quite impressed.

"It’s true, they really can’t be compared. When I saw this beauty, Fu, in class yesterday, I thought she counted as a beauty. But today, compared to the super beauty, Situ Xin, she’s really nothing. One has become the clouds above, the other just mud on the ground." Dai Weicheng was quite the character; his way with words was truly something else.

"Even though you’re not the most pleasant to listen to, you’re actually speaking the truth," Li Zhenghao added in agreement.

These boys might seem very proper at first, but when guys gather together, they can gossip just as much as the girls. Sure enough, after the class meeting ended yesterday, they started a discussion in the dormitory late into the night, taking stock of all the students in class: which girls were pretty, and all other sorts of details.

Situ Xin was unaware of Tian Jinlei and the others’ discussions. She had just taken her books out of her bag and when she looked up, she saw Fu Xiaoyi. This person she didn’t particularly want to see or interact with had just appeared before her.

At that moment, Situ Xin complained to Baibai, "Baibai, do you think she and I are cursed or something? I bumped into her yesterday, and today, she’s even become my classmate."

"Please, she doesn’t deserve to be your curse. If anything, she’s just a random passerby," Baibai truly had a big opinion of Fu Xiaoyi. If it weren’t for Situ Xin’s rule that it couldn’t scratch people without her order, Baibai would have long since scratched Fu Xiaoyi’s face.

As Situ Xin communicated with Baibai using Divine Sense, Fu Xiaoyi walked up to her and, with her characteristically soft voice, said to Situ Xin, "May I sit here?" Situ Xin looked up at Fu Xiaoyi, who was standing next to her, and her brow slightly furrowed. She really couldn’t fathom what Fu Xiaoyi was up to, what on earth she was thinking in her head. Yesterday, she acted like a stranger, but today, she was standing in front of her, asking to sit beside her. Nevertheless, Situ Xin replied, "Yeah, you can."

However, no matter what Fu Xiaoyi wanted to do, Situ Xin didn’t care. In her eyes, no matter how capable Fu Xiaoyi was, she could never get the better of her.

"You saw it yesterday, didn’t you?" After sitting down, Fu Xiaoyi took out her books and whispered to Situ Xin.

Situ Xin didn’t expect Fu Xiaoyi to speak to her so when Fu Xiaoyi started talking, Situ Xin reacted a bit slowly, "Huh? Are you talking to me?" No sooner had she spoken those words than Situ Xin realized what Fu Xiaoyi was referring to. "Yeah, I saw it. I saw you get out of the Mercedes-Benz sports car," Situ Xin responded nonchalantly.

Situ Xin was quite familiar with Fu Xiaoyi’s family situation, thanks to the detailed information provided by Dragon Society and The Dark Division during this smuggling case, which included everything about the Fu family, including how many siblings Fu Xiaoyi’s parents had and what their family was like.

The families of Fu Xiaoyi’s parents weren’t very well off. The two of them had climbed up step by step on their own. And those siblings of Xiaoyi’s parents, when they were in power, were very eager to brown-nose and had scraped off quite a few benefits from Xiaoyi’s parents, but the same so-called relatives were quick to sever ties with them after Xiaoyi’s parents were arrested and investigated for the smuggling case.

So, when Situ Xin saw Fu Xiaoyi getting out of that Mercedes-Benz sports car, she could more or less guess what was going on. But Fu Xiaoyi’s business had nothing to do with her, so that guess just flashed through her mind and was gone.

Fu Xiaoyi’s face showed a complex expression upon hearing Situ Xin’s reply. The indifferent look on her face when she hurried off yesterday was just a camouflage she had put up for protection. It left a bad taste in her heart, especially being seen by Situ Xin, her so-called romantic rival.

She had a restless night yesterday; even when she did manage to fall asleep, it was filled with nightmares. One moment Situ Xin was in her dreams, mocking her, saying, "Fu Xiaoyi, I can’t believe you’d fall so low as to be kept by someone else."

The next, she was in school, where all the students looked at her with disdain and gossiped behind her back.

Fu Xiaoyi was awakened by the nightmares. And just now, upon seeing Situ Xin in the classroom, she was stunned for a moment, feeling a wave of anxiety. But as if possessed by a ghost, she found herself walking to Situ Xin’s side, taking a seat next to her, and asking a question she herself didn’t know why she’d voiced.

"You’re smart enough to guess what I’m doing," Fu Xiaoyi said mockingly. "I didn’t want to, but I had no choice." Fu Xiaoyi had been spoiled by her parents since she was a child and had no idea of the hardships of the outside world.

After Xiaoyi’s parents were taken away, she went from being a wealthy heiress to someone who had nothing overnight. Everything in the family, except for the place they previously lived in, had been confiscated by the authorities.

"You think I wanted this? I was out of options. Do you know what it feels like to go from being treated like a princess everywhere to being spat upon and whispered about, being pointed at as the daughter of corrupt officials and smugglers? Do you know what it feels like to be penniless and unable to get by, to be driven out when I went to my grandparents? You don’t understand, and you never will understand how that feels." As Fu Xiaoyi spoke, her tears began to fall. And if it weren’t for her awareness that they were in school, in a classroom, where she didn’t want to draw attention or let everyone know her identity, she would have let her voice and emotions show.
