Chapter 28 Those who lack tact and discretion are especially lacking in discernment…
The children's welfare home is almost an hour's drive from the city.
When Tang Ran and Qiu Yuan arrived, Xia Xin'er's car had just stopped.
Accompanying Xia Xin'er were five other members of her charity team.
Their team visits the children's welfare home every month to do charity work. In addition to donating supplies, they also play games and do crafts with the children, or organize the children to participate in community activities to help them integrate more into social life.
"Sister Ranran."
Xia Xin'er waved to Tang Ran as soon as she saw her.
Tang Ran led Qiu Yuan to their car and introduced them to each other.
Qiu Yuan is a social butterfly, much like Miao Tiantian. She quickly became acquainted with the shy Xia Xin'er in just a few words.
Upon learning that today was a birthday celebration for the children at the welfare home, she immediately contacted a team specializing in children's birthday planning.
Xia Xin'er and Tang Ran both gave her a thumbs up.
The child is so thoughtful.
As the three were talking, another team of volunteers arrived.
Tang Ran recognized them as a volunteer team from Jiangcheng University based on their T-shirts.
"Miss Xia."
As soon as the group got off the bus, a handsome male classmate walked over with a smile and greeted Xia Xin'er.
Tang Ran also graduated from Jiang University, so she recognized this face.
Fang Kun, the student union president of Jiangcheng University, is an outstanding student with a handsome face, and one of the most prominent figures at Jiangcheng University.
Tang Ran remembered him not because he was handsome, but because his scandalous affairs were so widely circulated.
He flirted with everyone, but never actually dated anyone. He constantly changed female companions but never admitted to having a girlfriend.
"The formation." Xia Xin'er smiled faintly.
They had done several charity events with the volunteer team from Jiangnan University, so they got to know each other.
Fang Kun glanced at their van and said cheerfully, "Miss Xia has brought a lot of supplies again."
The school clubs couldn't raise much money, and what they brought were mostly basic supplies, far less than what Xia Xin'er and her friends brought.
He beamed, revealing two canine teeth. "This must be Miss Tang. My name is Fang Kun. I've always wanted to get to know you. I'm so lucky to have Miss Xia here today."
With just one sentence, Tang Ran could finally understand why this guy, despite being such a scumbag, could still remain on the Jiangda Forum's list of male gods for so long.
He's sunny, handsome, sweet-talking, and knows how to charm naive female college students with ease.
While they were talking, Tang Ran could already sense several unfriendly glances.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that those gazes came from several female students in the Jiangda group.
"Hello." Tang Ran nodded indifferently.
If the gender is wrong, I have absolutely no interest.
A wise person can understand what others mean with just one sentence, and also knows how to act appropriately.
Seeing that she wasn't enthusiastic, Fang Kun didn't continue the conversation. He smiled and called two classmates to help Xia Xin'er and the others move the supplies.
"We haven't even finished moving ourselves, and they're still helping others," a freckled girl in the Jiangda group said with some dissatisfaction.
She didn't dare say it to Fang Kun's face, only grumbling and complaining quietly when they went to move things.
Another tall girl next to her also curled her lip, "Who told us we weren't as lucky as the second young lady of the Xia family?"
His tone was sour, a mixture of envy and jealousy.
They joined the volunteer team not only because they could earn more academic credits by doing public service, but also because they wanted to get closer to Fang Kun.
Even though they knew Fang Kun wouldn't be interested in them, they still couldn't stand him being nice to other girls.
Especially after the recent charity events, they noticed that Fang Kun treated Xia Xin'er differently, and they were all very jealous.
"No wonder Senior Fang organized this trip to the orphanage today; it turns out Miss Xia is coming too."
Ye Xiaoyu carried two bags of supplies, a look of sudden realization on her face, as if she had just figured it out.
She was also a graduate of Jiangnan University and had some connection with Fang Kun. This time, she came with the volunteer team from Jiangnan University.
However, she came not for Fang Kun, but for someone else.
After hearing her words, the two girls looked at Xia Xin'er with even deeper jealousy.
A sensible person can discern meaning from a word, while a person lacking tact is particularly oblivious.
For example, Ye Xiaoyu.
As Tang Ran and the others walked inside, Ye Xiaoyu was putting away the supplies and coming out.
She smiled at them as if she had never had any disagreements with Tang Ran, and asked Xia Xin'er, "Didn't Senior Sister Shu Yang come today?"
Xia Xin'er frowned, giving her a cold look: "What do you want from her this time?"
She didn't like Ye Xiaoyu. There was no reason at first; she just didn't like her the moment she saw her.
Later, Ye Xiaoyu would contact Lu Shuyang from time to time under the guise of being her junior sister. Once, she even called Lu Shuyang at 10:30 pm, saying that she was not feeling well.
Xia Xin'er then realized that the reason she disliked Ye Xiaoyu was because she couldn't stand her pitiful and weak demeanor.
She herself is in poor health and hates people who, despite having a healthy body, pretend to be weak and delicate all day long.
Ye Xiaoyu's smile froze for a moment, not expecting Xia Xin'er to be so lacking in even superficial politeness.
Feeling humiliated, she immediately looked at Tang Ran.
I expected to see a mocking expression on Tang Ran's face, but in fact, Tang Ran was talking to Qiu Yuan with her head turned to the side and didn't pay attention to what they were saying at all.
Just like the day before yesterday at the hospital, Tang Ran treated her like she was invisible, except for that sarcastic remark at the beginning.
Ye Xiaoyu bit her lip, recalling Tang Ran's mocking words to her at the Song family's last meeting.
She was just an insignificant person.
At that time, she thought Tang Ran was only saying that on purpose to humiliate her.
Looking back now, I realize that Tang Ran really thought that way.
Having come to terms with this fact, Ye Xiaoyu felt even more embarrassed.
She was admitted to Jiangnan University from a small town and started working at Song's Company because of her excellence and hard work.
Ye Xiaoyu believed that apart from her background and looks, she was inferior to Tang Ran in every way.
Tang Ran is a beautiful and wealthy flower; she is the one who is more worthy of Song Wuqi.
She wanted to prove that she was better than Tang Ran, but Tang Ran always looked down on her and never paid any attention to her.
And Xia Xin'er.
If she had known Lu Shuyang wasn't coming today, she wouldn't have wanted to fawn over Xia Xin'er.
"Don't make that face, it's like I've bullied you." Xia Xin'er said with disdain, then pulled Tang Ran and the other person around her and left.
Ye Xiaoyu gritted her teeth in resentment.
These parasites who rely on their families are just lucky to be born into wealthy families. What's there to be proud of?
Why do they all look down on her?
As long as Ye Xiaoyu works hard, one day she will be richer and have a higher status than them through her own efforts.
With her fists clenched tightly, Ye Xiaoyu stared at the departing figures with a gloomy look in her eyes.
When that time comes, she will definitely get back all the humiliation she suffered today!
