Chapter 933: Surprise Meeting
Li Xiaoru's interpersonal relationships also improved greatly due to the popularity of Princess of the Han Dynasty. Some classmates who had previously ignored her took the initiative to talk to her and invited her to participate in their small performances. Some Chinese classmates also invited her to their mansion in the Upper East Side to have a party, eat, drink and play cards.
Everyone seemed very enthusiastic, but Li Xiaoru still felt that she was out of tune with them. Apart from talking about piano and music, Li Xiaoru and them had no common topics. But often when they had private gatherings and chatted, they didn't want to talk to her about music. Most of the topics were about eating, drinking and having fun. They lived a typical lifestyle of the second generation of rich people. They were rich and talented, which made them even more arrogant. There was always a hint of superiority in their words. How could Li Xiaoru become true friends with them?
Moreover, more than one person posted the information about Li Xiaoru being an exchange student at Juilliard on the Internet. "You think too much. I know the girl who plays the piano. She is not an 'amazing pianist'. Her name is Li Xiaoru. She is an ordinary junior student at a Chinese music school. She is currently studying as an exchange student at Juilliard and will return to China at the end of the year. She has no outstanding professional achievements and it seems that she has never even participated in a decent piano competition. She can only rely on teaming up with her internet celebrity friends and following the path of internet celebrities to increase her popularity..."
These words seemed to be meant to educate netizens about Li Xiaoru's background, because some netizens on the Internet left messages praising Li Xiaoru's excellent piano playing, saying that her piano music was fresh and beautiful, her skills were sophisticated, and it made people feel happy, and they believed that she must be an amazing pianist.
Perhaps some of the students who think highly of themselves could not bear to see the comments and thought they were funny, so they responded to these netizens online. Their tone was still full of superiority, mocking the netizens for not knowing the business, and at the same time despising Li Xiaoru for not being good enough, but they could not hide the sourness in their hearts, which was sourer than lemons! Compared with those talented students who were taught by famous teachers and grew up in various competitions, Li Xiaoru, who took the conventional art examination path, was indeed mediocre. But Li Xiaoru was famous, how could they not be envious and jealous?
Li Xiaoru doesn't care about her real identity being exposed on the Internet. She hasn't done anything shameful anyway. She is already famous in China. She and her family think it's good to be an Internet celebrity. But judging from the wording of these popular science comments and their understanding of her, they must be her classmates at Juilliard or the Capital Conservatory of Music.
She had to be cautious when interacting with everyone, just like every adult in society, wearing a hypocritical mask. God knows how they praised her on the surface, but scolded her behind her back. In short, she couldn't expect to make true friends like Liu? and Sister Taozi here. It was more reliable for her to continue to live a life of isolation and cultivation alone.
The morning class ended and the teacher left briskly. Li Xiaoru slowly packed up her music and books. A Chinese female classmate came over and asked her, "Xiaoru, do you want to go out for lunch together? I heard that there's a new Sichuan restaurant nearby. Let's go and join in the fun."
Li Xiaoru smiled and shook her head, "I'll go to the cafeteria to eat."
...
...
"The food in the cafeteria is terrible. It's the same dishes all year round. I'm about to throw up. You can't eat enough."
"I've only been here for half a year, I can still bear it. Besides, the cafeteria is cheap, I have to save money."
The prices of all the food served in the restaurants around the school, no matter which country, are extremely expensive, and Li Xiaoru cannot afford them. Of course, if someone invites her, it must be someone else's treat, but she also has to return the favor. The second-generation rich man is not a fool. He can't invite her to dinner for free. Only a give-and-take relationship can maintain a positive attitude.
She didn't want to go, and her classmates didn't force her. After leaving the classroom, she turned around and said to others,
"Li Xiaoru is too stingy."
"She has no conditions, so she has to be stingy."
"Isn't it said that being an internet celebrity is quite profitable? Why is she living such a miserable life?"
"That Liu? made all the money, right? He's eating the meat, and she's just following behind and drinking some soup."
With a burst of laughter, they walked away.
Li Xiaoru walked out of the classroom at this time. She heard those conversations, but she didn't feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. They didn't say anything bad about her. Everyone has their own way of living. She was just stingy and would think twice before spending a dime. As for whether she made money or not, it was enough for her to know the answer.
