Chapter 1 White Pearl
My name is White Pearl.
The white of white, the pearl of pearl, the pearl of pearl.
My father named me Bai Zhenzhu (White Pearl) because he hoped I would become the apple of their eye.
But in reality, I am a hidden treasure, forever undiscovered, hidden inside a clam...
"White Pearl, 99 points, second place."
"Li Qianni, 100 points, first place!"
The teacher's praise and the students' applause in her dream made Bai Zhenzhu frown and tremble all over.
She suddenly opened her eyes, terrified and covered in a cold sweat.
That damn dream again!
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been overshadowed by Li Qianni.
Wherever Li Qianni is, she always scores 99 points, always second place.
Why? On what grounds?
She could have gotten a perfect score, she could have gotten first place.
But her parents always ordered her to give in to Li Qianni and to be subservient to her.
Is it just because her father is Li Qianni's father's subordinate and her mother is Li Qianni's mother's follower?
She hated Li Qianni to death!
I hate all this injustice!
Just as Bai Zhenzhu angrily threw her pillow at the dormitory door, her roommate Yin Jiaxi returned.
With a "thud," the pillow hit her head.
Yin Jiaxi took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm. Bai Zhenzhu was a "patient," and she wouldn't stoop to the level of a patient.
She closed the door, bent down to pick up the pillow, then walked to Bai Zhenzhu and placed the pillow neatly on her bed.
He crossed his arms and pouted.
She said angrily, "Pearl! Apologize!"
Bai Zhenzhu burst out laughing.
She got out of bed, tugged at Yin Jiaxi's arm and shook it, blinking her innocent big eyes and saying coquettishly, "Jiaxi, I'm sorry, I'm just a little groggy from waking up~"
Yin Jiaxi looked at the harmless, charming woman in front of her and gave a soft snort.
"If you want me to forgive you, you have to give me your brother's WeChat."
Bai Zhenzhu's smile froze, and she said righteously, "No way!"
This time, it was Yoon Ga-hee's turn to panic.
Why not?
“My brother has a girlfriend. How can I, as his sister, put him in such a bad situation?”
"But I didn't do anything. I just wanted to thank your brother for performing surgery on my mother a while ago!"
"Oh well, no way is no way!"
Yin Jiaxi suddenly had a brilliant idea and put on a pretentious, innocent expression.
"Pearl, what if I have information about Li Qianni? Will you still be so protective of your brother?"
I knew that once that name was uttered, it would surely break White Pearl's defenses.
"What intelligence? Speak up now!"
"Then you have to promise me first that you'll give me your brother's WeChat."
"make a deal!"
"I just heard it from Li Qianni's best friend. Li Qianni has someone she's interested in! Apparently, Li Qianni really likes him, and they're just one step away from officially becoming a couple. There's even a rumor that the guy is going to publicly confess his feelings to Li Qianni on Valentine's Day!"
At first, Bai Zhenzhu didn't react much, after all, Li Qianni had been in several relationships over the years.
But what interests her is that this guy actually wants to confess his feelings publicly? Is he out of his mind?
"She really likes that boy? How so?"
Although she was interested in that boy, she still had to judge whether it was worth it for her to make a move.
After all, she had snatched away Li Qianni's previous boyfriends.
Once you've won someone over, just dump them.
Because it was touched by Li Qianni, it was too dirty.
"It seems this guy is different. He's the heir of the Shi family. Li Qianni said that if she marries him, she can become the young mistress of the Shi family, blah blah blah..."
"The Shi family?"
Bai Zhenzhu secretly searched for information about the Shi family in her mind.
She had only heard of one wealthy and powerful family, the Shi family. Could this be the Shi family?
Her father said that the Shi family was incredibly wealthy, their fortunes unfathomable.
If this boy really is the heir of the Shi family, and Li Qianni manages to get close to him, wouldn't she never be able to hold her head up in front of Li Qianni again?
No, she absolutely cannot let Li Qianni be with this young master of the Shi family. She's determined to take him away from him no matter what!
Moreover, she not only wanted to steal it, but also wanted Li Qianni to watch helplessly as the man she loved groveled at her feet!
"Pearl? What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Yin Jiaxi nudged Bai Zhenzhu, bringing her back to her senses instantly.
"I'm thinking..."
Bai Zhenzhu deliberately dragged out the sound to whet her appetite.
What are you thinking about?
"I miss men! Jiaxi, I think I should have a proper relationship too!"
"W-what? Dating? Don't you hate those smelly men the most? Besides, who do you want to date?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled mischievously and said sweetly, "The young master of the Shi family!"
"Pearl, are you going to steal Li Qianni's boyfriend again?"
"What do you mean by 'stealing'? This is called fair competition, okay? They're not even dating, so can't I even try to get a chance?"
"But isn't the young master of the Shi family going to publicly confess his love on Valentine's Day? It seems like Valentine's Day is just a week away. If you can't win him over before Valentine's Day, then the two of them will become a couple, and you'll become the third party, won't you?"
"So what if she's a third party? They're not married!" Bai Zhenzhu said indifferently.
Yin Jiaxi sighed again. What was the point of talking about morality and ethics with someone whose values were so distorted?
"Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to take a nap. I have a long class this afternoon!"
Bai Zhenzhu lay back down on the bed and took out her phone to send Yin Jiaxi her brother's WeChat message.
Then I opened Li Qianni's WeChat Moments...
