Linghu Lan smiled. "You relying on your family is your family's ability, and I relying on myself is my own ability. Since we each rely on our own abilities, what kind of clothes I wear, what I do, and how much salary I earn a month have nothing to do with you. Even if you rely on your family, I won't look down on you. That's your family's ability. But if you think that just because your family is capable, you can look down on others and think that others must be inferior to you in every way, that logic doesn't seem quite right. Just take it in stride!"
"Who do you think you can look down on? With your looks, what gives you the right to look down on others?" Fang Mei seemed to have been hit where it hurt by Linghu Lan, and she immediately lost her temper.
Linghu Lan smiled slightly. She had said so much, but this fool had only heard that one sentence. "I think I'm great. If you could become like me, you wouldn't be so jealous of me today."
"Who's jealous of you?!" Fang Mei's thoughts were exposed by Linghu Lan, and her eyebrows shot up. She suddenly became fierce, looking like she was going to fight if she couldn't win an argument.
Fang Mei's indiscriminate attack just now made many people unhappy. After all, most people come from very ordinary families and cannot compare with an exception like Fang Mei. They rely on their own efforts to climb up the social ladder. Fang Mei's words made it seem as if everyone was just an accessory in her eyes, and she offended everyone in one fell swoop.
"Fang Mei, Linghu Lan was just telling the truth. Why are you in such a hurry? Is it only okay for your family to be rich, but if other families are rich, then they are considered swindlers and cheaters? What kind of logic is that?"
"So what if we can't rely on our families? Has our self-reliance offended you?"
"Don't talk about whether others look down on you or not. You should tell me first, have you ever looked down on us?"
"Yeah! When we came to this class reunion, we agreed not to compare ourselves to others, so as not to hurt the feelings between classmates. You were the one who talked the loudest in the group chat back then, and now you're the one who looks down on others the most. You've said all the nice things. How come you're so amazing?"
Fang Mei's face flushed red when she heard what everyone was saying. She had always been the one surrounded and fawned over, so when did she become the one being attacked?
This was the first time in her life she had ever experienced such a thing. She was being bombarded with all sorts of irrelevant comments, and she was almost dizzy from all the talking. Her eyes filled with tears, and she immediately burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "What do you mean? I traveled such a long way to attend this class reunion, and this is how you treat me? If you don't want me to attend, just say so! Who cares!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
She walked, but her steps were slow.
Some people were quite familiar with Fang Mei and knew that her home was actually in the nearby city center, only a little over an hour's drive away. Moreover, before coming, Fang Mei had specifically shown off her newly bought Mercedes-Benz to everyone.
Compared to her classmates who traveled by plane, train, or bus, her journey was much shorter. The word "hard work" simply doesn't apply to her.
Someone laughed out loud.
Some people are embarrassed.
Some people even felt a pang of pity.
After all, everyone thought today would be a happy class reunion, and ending up in a bad mood was not the goal.
Someone had already tried to pull Fang Mei away. Fang Mei swung her arm twice, but by the third time, her strength had diminished. The classmate who had been trying to persuade her whispered something in Fang Mei's ear, and managed to pull her back.
