"...The Ye family has gone bankrupt. Does she think we don't know and still consider herself a rich heiress?"
"That's right. I couldn't stand her arrogant and hypocritical attitude before. Every time she came back from home, she would do her little favors, as if we were her servants waiting for her charity. Now we finally don't have to put up with her anymore."
"She did something wrong, but she didn't. Besides, even if you're going to throw it away, you should throw it further away. If you throw it by the door, won't she see it as soon as she comes back? It'll be so awkward if you keep running into each other all the time."
"You're right, I'll go pick it up..."
The sound of voices accompanied the opening of the door. Their eyes met, and both the person inside and outside the door froze in surprise.
Ye Li never expected that her former roommates, who used to chat and laugh together, could turn into a fake friendship because of the Ye family's bankruptcy.
Inside the door, Jiang Chengcheng was even more surprised that things had turned out so coincidentally.
Hu Yuting stood at the bathroom door, holding a hairdryer.
Feng Ruoying is hanging clothes on the balcony, holding up a clothesline pole.
The three of them looked at each other, then at Ye Li, and were all stunned.
An awkward silence filled the air.
The next moment, Jiang Chengcheng, a beautiful woman with long hair, a slender waist, and a pretty face, smiled from inside the door. "Ye Li, the words may be unpleasant, but we weren't wrong, were we? Has the Ye family not gone bankrupt? Or do you not owe a huge debt?"
As I was leaving, I bumped into Ye Li and managed to see her being pushed aside.
Jiang Chengcheng picked three snack gift boxes out of the trash can, carried them back, and threw them on Ye Li's desk. "You used to be the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and these things were like feeding us kittens and puppies to you. But you're not the eldest daughter of the Ye family anymore... What are you pretending for?"
As if her hands were dirty, Jiang Chengcheng clapped her hands, turned around, sat down at her desk, and put on her earphones.
The sound of a hairdryer whirring in the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water on the balcony.
Looking at the dormitory room she had lived in for two and a half years, Ye Li had a momentary feeling that she had walked into the wrong room.
They were classmates and roommates.
For more than two years, from their freshman to junior year, they attended classes together, ate meals together, and went shopping together on weekends.
Fearing they might think she was from a wealthy family and feel uncomfortable around her, she would bring them small gifts every time she came back from home on the weekend.
Sometimes it's cookies baked by my mom.
Sometimes it's perfumes, scarves, and small accessories she brings back from exhibitions abroad.
It is said that the university campus is the last pure land before graduation and entering society, and Ye Li cherishes the sisterhood with her classmates and roommates from the bottom of her heart.
I just didn't expect it to be her one-sided arrogance.
Even realizing she'd been tricked by Zhou Hechen outside the bar hadn't made her this upset. Ye Li pinched her palm to suppress the stinging in her eyes, took a deep breath, and went inside.
Bang!
The door slammed shut, and Jiang Chengcheng subconsciously glanced back.
Realizing belatedly that he was wearing headphones, he turned around sheepishly.
"Jiang Chengcheng..."
When Ye Li spoke, Hu Yuting, who was pretending to blow-dry her hair, and Feng Ruoying, who was washing clothes on the balcony, both stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Ye Li looked around and said, "From the first day I moved into this dorm room at the start of my freshman year, I treated you all like sisters. You could take my clothes, bags, and skincare products if you wanted. I never imagined that you would treat me like a beast, like a kitten or a puppy!"
Ye Li silently apologized to the adorable kittens and puppies, then looked at the three of them and said, "Since that's the case, let's make things clear today. You don't want my snacks and gifts, fine, then I won't presume to be kind to you anymore. And return all the jewelry, bags, and clothes you took from me before... I only lent them to you, I never said I was going to give them to you, did I?"
The three people's expressions changed slightly.
Jiang Chengcheng had the worst complexion among them.
