Xia Wenxi had arranged to meet her roommates in the afternoon, but she still got up early the next day.

I haven't been able to study properly these past few days because of various things, which has taken up a lot of my time.

Ke Shurong felt sorry for her daughter, who was sick yesterday but got up early this morning to study. So, at noon, Xia Wenxi was given two bowls of nourishing soup out of love.

When Xia Wenxi was about to leave in the afternoon, she felt like there was still soup sloshing around in her stomach. So, after checking the map and finding that the mall where they were supposed to meet was not far from her home, Xia Wenxi decided to ride her bicycle there.

She was hungry when she arrived, so it wouldn't affect her next meal...

"Wenxi, over here!"

"Why did you come by bicycle today? But this bicycle is so beautiful."

"I ate too much at lunch, so I need to digest a bit, otherwise I'll miss lunch later."

Xia Wenxi lowered her head to lock her car, unaware that her roommates were all staring at the person getting out of the car parked behind her.

"Oh! Isn't this Miss Xia? What's with you riding a bicycle? What? Has the Xia family abandoned you?"

"How could the Xia family dare to accept someone who has improper thoughts about her stepbrother? It's really perverted to like your own brother."

Two familiar voices, one male and one female, entered her ears one after another. They kept repeating the same two sentences, which were so stupid that they were annoying.

Before Xia Wenxi could speak, the future factory manager, Jin, who had already graduated, immediately rushed up and stood in front of her.

Now a graduate, Factory Director Jin is fearless, hands on his hips, ready to unleash his fury:

"Who's talking? How come you two were left out when we were creating a civilized city? Your mouths are so foul they're practically biological weapons. You should be collected by a septic tank truck and dumped where you belong. If you were in a biogas digester, you two could be awarded an advanced worker title."

Her demeanor is in no way inferior to that of a certain famous landlady.

Xia Wenxi's annoyance vanished because of her words; she only found it amusing.

With such a sharp tongue, Director Jin is sure to have a bright future.

Xia Wenxi looked up at the two familiar faces and thought to herself that birds of a feather flock together. It's amazing that these two ended up together.

"Lin Junying, it's you again! Looks like apologizing in McDonald's isn't enough for you anymore, is it? Where do you want to apologize next time?"

Xia Wenxi circled around and pointed to the large screen on the mall wall. "How about that? Displaying your video for three days and three nights would definitely satisfy your desire to be seen, right?"

Xia Wenxi turned on her phone camera and shoved it right in front of the two of them, "Say what you two said again? I was locking the car just now, I didn't hear you clearly."

"Xia Wenxi!" Lin Junying reached out to try to brush Xia Wenxi's hand away, but Xia Wenxi was prepared and he missed.

Ever since he was forced to apologize at McDonald's, Lin Junying had been holding a grudge. He hadn't run into Xia Wenxi before, but seeing her again today, with an "ally" by his side, made him completely forget Lin Shen's warning.

"Don't think you're so great just because you can tattle. My uncle isn't my dad or my grandpa. He can't control me."

Xia Wenxi looked enlightened. "I know, you'll go directly to your grandfather to complain, right? I will."

Too weak in combat and too stupid in speech, Xia Wenxi completely lost the will to fight and turned to look at another "acquaintance".

What was Yuwei again?

"You're searching my name on Weibo again? Do you like me that much? You little guardian of ethics."

"Hmph! You're so proud of being an adopted daughter. Let's see how long you can be so smug. I want to see if there's still a place for you in the Xia family after Xia Wensheng gets married."

"If I have nowhere to stay, I can stay at your place. You'd welcome me, wouldn't you, Miss Yuwei, the paragon of morality?"

After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she called her roommates to eat. She was too lazy to waste words with them. With their behavior, they would be nothing more than a sarcastic passerby in any novel. They were even worse than her. Her character was at least a villainous supporting character with much more screen time than them.

On the way to dinner, Xia Wenxi didn't forget to give Jin Wenyao a thumbs up, "Your mouth is as sweet as honey, amazing."

"You flatter me. I've been studying all sorts of foul-mouthed quotes, and this is the day I've been waiting for."

Xia Wenxi's mood was completely unaffected. During the meal, Zhang Jiayi hesitated for a long time before asking her, "Wenxi, aren't you angry at them for saying those things about you?"

Xia Wenxi shook her head, "I'm not angry."

Seeing the question on Zhang Jiayi's face, she explained, "They're nothing in my life, so there's no need to get angry because of what they say."

Zhang Jiayi nodded thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment as if she wanted to say something, but then lowered her head and ate in silence.

But after a while, looking at her friends, she decided to speak up; she had no one else to confide in.

"The person who came to my graduation ceremony before was my half-sister."

Once the first sentence is spoken, the rest will follow naturally.

She pursed her lips and continued, "My father owns a pretty good company. Before my mother met my father, she was a waitress in a restaurant, so everyone says that my mother married my father to climb the social ladder."

Growing up, the most common thing I heard was, "She's the daughter of a waitress, no wonder she's so unpresentable." I hated hearing that, and with it, I hated Jinjiang and my home. So, in college, I secretly changed my major and came here.”

While saying these words, Zhang Jiayi kept her head down, and Xia Wenxi and the other two pretended not to see the tears that kept dripping onto the bone plate.

"Actually, my sister is very kind to me. She is beautiful and smart, and she is always the center of attention wherever she goes. Her biggest flaw is probably having an ordinary sister like me."
