On the first day of junior high school, Yang Yajing saw Jiang Xuanxuan in the classroom.

Based on her grades, there's no way she could get into Jiangzhong, which is a key school.

In her previous life, because Yang Yajing was her best friend and she didn't want to be separated from her, Jiang Xuanxuan told Yang Yajing that she had asked her father to sponsor an activity room for the school, which allowed her to transfer into Jiangzhong.

This life will probably be similar, right?

Thirteen-year-old Jiang Xuanxuan is already over 1.5 meters tall, but Yang Yajing seems to be slow to grow, only a little over 1.3 meters tall.

It was this height difference that allowed Yang Yajing to sit in the first row, quite a distance away from Jiang Xuanxuan in the last row.

In this school full of top students, most people bury themselves in their studies and rarely socialize. Of course, Jiang Xuanxuan is an exception, as is Chen Jiaoyun, who was also admitted to Jiangzhong but was assigned to the next class.

"Yang Yang! Xuanxuan and Yang Yang are really destined to be together!" At noon, as soon as get out of class ended, Jiang Xuanxuan came to Yang Yajing's side to greet her.

"Yes! It's quite a coincidence." Yang Yajing smiled slightly, her tone polite and distant yet respectful.

This was enough to make Jiang Xuanxuan continue to cling to her, showcasing her sense of superiority.

We already had school uniforms in junior high, but it wasn't mandatory to wear them except for the flag-raising ceremony on Mondays.

By now, Jiang Xuanxuan had already changed out of that ugly sky-blue overall dress.

"Yangyang, didn't you make a lot of money off your classmates at school? Why are you still wearing such a cheap school uniform?" Jiang Xuanxuan started again.

"Isn't the school uniform fine?" Yang Yajing didn't feel the need to change her clothes.

"What's so good about it? This shirt is made of 'Dacron,' and this stretchy synthetic fiber overalls and jacket are not only tacky, but they also make my neck itchy." Jiang Xuanxuan said with great disdain.

"My skin isn't as smooth as yours, so it'll be fine for me!" Yang Yajing replied casually.

"Sigh! It's all Xuanxuan's mom's fault!" Jiang Xuanxuan didn't know whether to praise or criticize herself. "She said girls should pay attention to details, and she's been making Xuanxuan take care of her skin since she was little, spending thousands on skincare products. Now Xuanxuan can't even fit into her school uniform anymore! Honestly!"

"You said it yourself, the school uniform looks pretty outdated. Aren't your own clothes much better looking?" Yang Yajing pointed to Jiang Xuanxuan's outfit.

She wore a silk brocade dress, a high-waisted collarless coat, and shiny dark red leather shoes; she looked expensive.

“Yangyang is right. Xuanxuan’s mother also thinks that wearing this cheap and outdated school uniform is really incompatible with Xuanxuan’s family’s financial situation.” Jiang Xuanxuan didn’t hold back at all. “She insisted on spending thousands of yuan to buy this outfit for Xuanxuan. It’s all designer brands!”

"Wow! That's several thousand!" Two classmates from the back seat came over when they heard this. "Jiang Xuanxuan, your family is so rich! You're still growing, won't those clothes be too small in a year?"

"Wear the same clothes for a year?" Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes showed some shock. "Clothes are out of style after a month or two, how can you wear them for a year?"

"A month or two? That's still pretty new! It costs several thousand!" Another young girl looked on with envy.

Yang Yajing recognized the two people. In her previous life, they were Jiang Xuanxuan's little followers and had bullied her a lot.

Since these people will be stuck together sooner or later anyway, she might as well be a "good person" and push back what they'll be doing in the future a little earlier.

"Jiang Xuanxuan, your clothes are old and you don't want to wear them anymore, what should you do with them?" Yang Yajing asked deliberately.

“Sell the good brands secondhand, and just throw away the average ones!” Jiang Xuanxuan said matter-of-factly.

"Throw it away? What a waste! It's worth several thousand!" Yang Yajing began to flatter, "I suggest we sell it to them at a discount. They can afford two or three hundred, right?"

"Who wants to wear someone else's clothes?" Jiang Xuanxuan said deliberately. "But if Yangyang doesn't mind, and you two are such good friends, I can give them to Yangyang!"

"Give it to me? You won't get any money for it, and I can't even wear it. What a waste!" Yang Yajing compared their heights, which was true.

Yang Yajing found it amusing: She'd just been saying who would want to wear old clothes? Now that she'd met this woman, she suddenly thought she'd wear the old clothes she'd given her? Differential treatment?

“Yangyang is still making money off his classmates as always!” Jiang Xuanxuan emphasized this point once again.

"You two are about the same size, right?" Yang Yajing ignored them and asked the two girls from before, "If Jiang Xuanxuan stopped wearing this outfit and sold it to you for two hundred yuan, would you want it?"

"Wow! Such nice clothes for only two hundred yuan? Of course I want them!" It was one of the girls who spoke, named Jin Yiyi.

Jin Yiyi's family is relatively well-off, running a retail business, but they are far less well-off than Jiang Xuanxuan's family.

Her grades were actually quite good, which is why she managed to get into Jiangzhong High School during the high school entrance exam.

The girl next to her was her deskmate, named Pang Yan. Pang Yan's family held some official positions, and she was admitted to Jiangzhong High School through a special admission program that included extra points for piano playing.

Both of them put on a facade of aloofness, but in reality, they are materialistic and disdainful of the poor.

In the half-day that followed, after learning about Jiang Xuanxuan's family's wealth and hearing Jiang Xuanxuan talk about Yang Yajing making money off her classmates at school, I had already formed my own conclusion.

They thought Yang Yajing was a money-grubber who even tried to make money off her classmates, and in large sums at that, so her character must be questionable.

Jiang Xuanxuan, on the other hand, is generous and magnanimous, willing to suffer some losses herself and give the benefits to them. This is the kind of person we should befriend!

The daughters of wealthy families and ordinary people running small shops are indeed of different qualities! How did Jiang Xuanxuan become friends with Yang Yajing?

They didn't know Yang Yajing's version, but Jiang Xuanxuan's version was that after Yang Yajing splashed soup all over Jiang Xuanxuan, a kind young man named Zhou Pengfei helped her treat her burns.

To repay the kindness, the three became good friends.

"Xuanxuan! Are you out of your mind?" Pang Yan said disdainfully. "She splashed you with soup and didn't even pay for your clothes. It's only right that she helps you treat your burns! What are you 'huh' about?"

“Yangyang didn’t mean it…” Jiang Xuanxuan said tactfully, “Besides, these clothes are so expensive, and Yangyang’s family is so poor, Xuanxuan can’t make things difficult for Yangyang, can she?”

"No way! How can we let her get away with this so easily?" Jin Yiyi shook her head. "Children from poor families really have no manners! I think she's just clinging to you on purpose, after your money! You need to be more careful! Don't be so naive and kind!"

"Yiyi, forget it! It happened a long time ago!" Of course, Jiang Xuanxuan wouldn't let them go to Yang Yajing to argue.

If Yang Yajing reveals the true story, how will she explain herself? If it were just Yang Yajing, it wouldn't be a problem, but if Zhou Pengfei finds out because of this, it would be a huge loss!

Her image absolutely cannot be ruined by Zhou Pengfei!

Moreover, Zhou Pengfei is currently at Xingzhong High School, which is not the same school as them. If they want to get in touch with Zhou Pengfei, they have to get on good terms with Yang Yajing.

Sigh! If Xingzhong hadn't really looked down on her, her father would have already arranged for her to go there. What would Yang Yajing have to do with it then?
