When Tang Xiaoxiao saw Liu Yan, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and then she muttered in a low voice: "She looks like a monster, and it's obvious that she is not a serious person."
After hearing this, Xie Xuan glared at Tang Xiaoxiao, signaling her to stop talking nonsense. Then, she said to Liu Yanran apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yanran, Xiaoxiao has been spoiled by her family. Please don't mind."
Liu Yanran smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care. However, Tang Xiaoxiao's reaction was shocking.
Tang Xiaoxiao not only didn't restrain herself after Xie Xuan's reminder, but continued to look at Liu Yanran provocatively, and said in a sarcastic tone: "You don't look like someone who studies hard. Did you take someone else's place?"
Liu Yanran's face darkened instantly. She recalled how her fourth brother had been enrolled in university under someone else's name the previous year, wasting a year of precious time. Now, she herself was being subjected to such groundless suspicion, which made her feel angry and wronged.
Liu Yanran took a step forward without hesitation, slapped Tang Xiaoxiao in the face, and scolded her, "Didn't your family teach you to control your mouth when you're out?"
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned by the beating. She had never been beaten like this since she was a child, and she was immediately furious.
"You dare to hit me?!" She rushed forward and was about to fight with Liu Yanran.
Xie Xuan hurriedly grabbed Tang Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, don't be impulsive!"
At this time, a circle of classmates had gathered around, and everyone was pointing and talking.
"What's going on?"
"The girl in pink said the pretty girl is an imposter."
"Is it true? I can't tell..."
Liu Yanran was really angry when she heard these discussions. These people believed everything they heard. And this Tang Xiaoxiao was so outspoken. She didn't know how she grew up.
"Enough!" Xie Xuan shouted, "Stop talking! Xiaoxiao is talking nonsense. You all got into Peking University. Use your brains."
The crowd suddenly quieted down, and Tang Xiaoxiao stopped struggling. Liu Yanran felt that Xie Xuan wasn't so foolish as to blindly help Tang Xiaoxiao. It seemed that there was still hope.
At that moment, the baby-faced senior student, Deng Wanjun, descended like a deity and threw a newspaper in Tang Xiaoxiao's face. "Open your eyes and see clearly. Liu Yanran was in the newspaper. She donated her prize money to the military. She's a person of noble character. You're lying. I demand an apology from you. Otherwise, I will report you to the college leadership. I have no say in how I'll deal with you then."
Deng Wanjun put her hands on her hips angrily, looking fierce. She had just come to Liu Yanran to get information about the handsome guy who came with her, but she didn't expect to hear Tang Xiaoxiao's outburst. In a flash, she remembered the newspaper she had read and rushed back to the dormitory to find it.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say a word. Because of her aunt's love, she grew up in the compound. However, the class concept in the compound was very strong. Children of real high-ranking officials like Deng Wanjun would not bother to associate with people like them who lived under other people's roofs.
Although Xie Xuan's grandfather is about the same age as Deng Wanjun's grandfather, Grandpa Deng is a commander and Grandpa Xie is only a division commander. Grandpa Xie was noticed by Grandpa Deng because he worked as Grandpa Deng's driver, and only then did he have the opportunity to be discovered, so the Deng family always has the upper hand over the Xie family.
What's more, Tang Xiaoxiao's aunt Tang Ning did not marry into the Xie family through formal means. Tang Ning worked as a maid in the family that the Xie family wanted to propose marriage to, but ended up falling into the bed of the son-in-law who came to propose marriage. The marriage between the two families naturally fell through. Tang Ning was lucky enough to get the job on the first try, and successfully married into the Xie family with the help of the child in her belly.
Later, she gave birth to Xie Jingzhi, and the following year she had Xie Xuan. However, the Xie family only gave her the title of Mrs. Xie and some money she could control. They never got a marriage certificate with her or held a wedding, and they turned a blind eye to her helping her brother.
The two children were raised by their grandmother since they were young, so they were not brought up in a distorted way. Instead, it was Tang Xiaoxiao who was raised by her since she was young and had a distorted world view.
By the way, Tang Ning worked as a maid for the Deng family at that time, and the person she was originally going to marry was Deng Xiaogu. Later, Deng Xiaogu devoted herself to the revolutionary cause and met her current husband Yang Minghui. The couple loved each other and lived in harmony. After marriage, they had a pair of twin sons, Yang Zhipeng and Yang Zhiyou.
My aunt was injured during childbirth and the doctor did not recommend having a second child. My uncle-in-law went to get a sterilization the next day, which was a hot topic at the time.
So in fact, Deng Wanjun really dislikes Xie Xuan and Tang Xiaoxiao. "I advise you to keep your tail between your legs, otherwise..." Although she has a baby face and looks cute, she actually has a very hot temper, which is also a contrast!
Tang Xiaoxiao bit her lip, tears in her eyes, and reluctantly apologized to Liu Yanran.
The farce ended and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Liu Yanran looked at Tang Xiaoxiao's back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that background cannot determine everything about a person, but cultivation can.
She decided to stay away from Tang Xiaoxiao in the future, and also wanted to thank Deng Wanjun for standing up for her.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Wanjun." Liu Yanran said sincerely.
"Hehe, you're welcome. But you're really awesome. You actually donated the prize money to the military district." Deng Wanjun looked admiring.
"This is what I should do." Liu Yanran replied with a smile.
Liu Yanran had packed up and was ready to go find Liu Guoxing for dinner. She decided to go find Liu Guoxing for dinner in the evening and try the food in the cafeteria. Deng Wanjun said she wanted to go too.
Deng Wanjun's eyes occasionally fell on Liu Guoxing, seemingly casually, but in fact she was thinking about something. She cleverly mentioned Liu Guoxing from time to time during her conversation with Liu Yanran, trying to get information about him from her.
Liu Yanran didn't initially realize Deng Wanjun's intentions, but as she mentioned her fourth brother more and more frequently, she finally realized that the girl in front of her might be interested in him. She secretly laughed in her heart. This Deng Wanjun was a clever girl, but her fourth brother was not so easily impressed.
Liu Yanran decided not to reveal Deng Wanjun's thoughts, but just followed her topic, occasionally revealing some things about Liu Guoxing. She looked at Deng Wanjun listening with relish, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the power of love really makes people brave and proactive.
As Deng Wanjun listened to Liu Yanran's story, her curiosity about Liu Guoxing intensified. She began to imagine his appearance, personality, and preferences, and her expectations of him grew. However, she also knew that relationships couldn't be forced; they could only be left to nature.
As they insinuate themselves into each other's affairs, Deng Wanjun and Liu Yanran gradually become closer. They begin to share their thoughts and dreams, becoming good friends. Meanwhile, Liu Guoxing remains completely unaware of this...
