Seeing everyone in the classroom watching the show, Lian Xin bit her lip, then tugged at the corners of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, and said arrogantly.

“My godfather is from Hong Kong. He owns an entertainment company there called Star Media. He said that as soon as I graduate, he will make me a star.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Xin noticed that many people were looking at her with envious eyes.

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaopeng, who was sitting next to her, curled his lip and gave her a look of utter disdain. But his gaze was drawn to a red mark on her neck.

Her dark eyes flickered, and just as she was about to take a closer look, Lian Xin casually tugged at her collar, covering the red mark.

"Lian Xin, your godfather is so good to you."

"That's right, Lian Xin, don't forget us when you become a big star!"

Looking at Lian Xin's pretentious act, Liang Nannan's eyes flashed with disgust.

"Pshaw, it's not even close to being established yet, what's there to be proud of?"

Song Yuli reached out and tugged at Liang Nannan, signaling her to keep her voice down.

Liang Nannan frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything.

Lian Xin didn't care what Liang Nannan said. She continued, "You all know Quanyu Group, right? Quanyu Group is the most famous company in our country. I heard that Quanyu Group is going to hold a nationwide search for spokespersons for its clothing brand. My godfather said that as long as I work hard, I will definitely be the one to sign a contract with Quanyu Group in the end!"

As soon as Lian Xin finished speaking, Liang Nannan slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"Smack—"

Damn, this is infuriating. Just because they have connections doesn't mean they're so great.

Does having powerful connections give you the right to bully people like this?

Depend on!

Lian Xin glanced at Liang Nannan haughtily, then looked away.

Song Yuli patted Liang Nannan's shoulder reassuringly, then casually asked, "Lian Xin, if I may ask, when is Uncle's funeral? We've been classmates for three years, so we should at least go and pay our respects to Uncle."

Upon hearing this, Lian Xin's face immediately darkened.

Ha, holding a funeral for Lian Jingshan?

She wished she could throw Lian Jingshan's body into the wilderness and let wild dogs tear it apart.

That morning, when she woke up, Shang Zhengqiang told her that Lian Jingshan had sold her to him for ten million RMB, so she was his.

Seeing Lian Xin's expression change, Liang Nannan looked at Song Yuli with admiration and then chimed in.

"That's right, Lian Xin. We've been classmates for three years. It wouldn't be right if we didn't accompany you to see your uncle off on his final journey."

Seeing this, everyone else consciously shut their mouths and sat quietly to the side to watch the show.

Lian Xin glanced at Liang Nannan with a gloomy look, then at Song Yuli, and finally forced a smile, saying, "Okay."

Seeing the strange smile on Lian Xin's face, Liang Nannan and Song Yuli frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.

At this moment, Xu Yang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Lian Xin, let me know when the time comes, I'll also go and see Uncle off."

Upon hearing Xu Yang's words, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Lian Xin was the same, then, as if she had thought of something, her expression became even more gloomy.

"I see."

...

Just as everyone was chattering away, Lu Yueling came over and said that it was time to head to the examination hall. Everyone immediately shut their mouths, and with excitement and nervousness in their hearts, they headed to their battlefield!
