Chapter 170 - Pick Your Fight
Yun Jian remembered that Qin Fenger hated the original owner. Sometimes, she would even find people to insult her or pick on the fact that her studies were awful in front of the elders.
In the end, the whole town knew that Qin Yirou’s daughter was scoring the lowest in her school!
Qin Fenger looked average herself. Her features were normal and there was no sense of presence when she was in a crowd. Moreover, her face was dotted with freckles and spots, making her even more unattractive.
The main reason she hated the old Yun Jian so much because Qin Fenger herself was excellent, she studied well and was popular among her friends as well as being the teacher’s favorite. Yet why was Yun Jian, who was good-for-nothing and so lousy in her studies, born to be so beautiful?
Yet she had to bear with her ugly face!
Hence, Yun Jian became Qin Fenger’s target as the latter swore to hate.
Yun Jian was not fazed by Qin Fenger. She gave her a glimpse, feeling amused.
“Why can’t I be here if you can be here?” she retorted curtly.
She then turned around to ignore Qin Fenger and her friends’ presence.
Pointing at a few skewered dishes, Yun Jian told the shopkeeper, “Fifty sticks of mutton, twenty skewered sausages and ten sticks of rice cakes.”
As she spoke, she turned to Zhang Shaofeng and the other. “Do you guys want anything else?”
“Jian Jian, I want five sticks of tofu!” Chen Xinyi told Yun Jian with a wink without being overly courteous.
“I want two barbecued wings,” Ling Yichen said with a chuckle.
“I want the same as Xinyi,” Zhang Shaofeng chorused.
Qin Fenger who was countered by Yun Jian was stunned. Since when did the useless girl become so pompous? How dare she retort her!
In addition, Yun Jian and the three other people around her actually ignored her, like she didn’t even exist!
Qin Fenger was enraged, especially when the boy sitting beside her, who had zits all over his face, teased her after she was ignored by Yun Jian, “Hah, Qin Fenger, look, the pretty girl isn’t even bothered with you!”
The boy had even whistled and blatantly checked Yun Jian out.
Instantly, the teenagers who sat with Qin Fenger had their attention on Yun Jian.
This was the feeling that Qin Fenger loathed. Her academic results were better than Yun Jian, she was better than Yun Jian at everything, but why did the latter take the limelight so easily? Why!?
At the same time, the shopkeeper passed the plates of skewers to Yun Jian and friends, having already sprinkled the seasoning on the readied skewered dishes.
He smiled kindly. “Hold them carefully. Girlie, it’s a total of eighty-five yuan.”
The living cost of 1998 was much lower than the current time. A bill of over eighty Chinese yuan was enough to feed a student for some time.
Yun Jian was incredibly generous as a host today as it looked like they were going to eat to their heart’s content.
Qin Fenger who heard it from her table was secretly shocked.
She knew that Qin Yirou’s monthly income was merely several hundred yuan, yet Yun Jian was here buying other people a meal that was nearly a hundred yuan!
Where did she get her money from?
Qin Fenger then picked on Yun Jian again for this reason.
Looking at the hundred yuan banknote that Yun Jian fished out from her pocket, Qin Fenger was dripping with jealousy as she pointed at Yun Jian and shouted, “Yun Jian, where did you get so much money from? Don’t think that I don’t know your mom only earns a few hundred yuan a month working for others! And she has to cover your family’s expenditure too!”
Then, she scrutinized Zhang Shaofeng, Ling Yichen, and Chen Xinyi beside Yun Jian. When she saw that all three of them were dressed in branded jackets and were oozing an affluent vibe, Qin Fenger could not help accusing Yun Jian, “Yun Jian, you wouldn’t have been paid by them too would you?”
The few people who sat beside Qin Fenger were frozen for a beat, before their gazes at Yun Jian were eventually painted with disdain.
Qin Fenger was gloating. This was the effect that she wanted!
