Qiao Chen was barely holding onto her act. Moreover, with Zhao Jingwei’s matter, she stepped forward and blocked Qiao Nian’s way.
“How do you know S is a lady? You’ve met S?”
That genius designer was extremely elusive. Many people in the higher society were after Seven’s outfits, and many rich ladies were loyal fans of S. They hoped to invite S as their guest, but Yuan Yongqin rejected all of them. Until today, no one had really invited that designer to a meal before.
Qiao Nian’s family were ordinary folks of Luohe County, and her grandfather was a teacher for many years. They barely had connections.
That was all.
With this sort of background, she couldn’t even hold a candle to the Qiao Family. How could she say so confidently that S was a lady? It was as if she’d met S in person!
Qiao Nian didn’t expect Qiao Chen to dare to stand in her way. Qiao Nian slipped one hand into her pocket and raised her brow. Her eyes were dark and deep as she asked in return, “Didn’t you say you’ve met her before, shouldn’t you know whether she’s a lady?”
Qiao Chen was caught off guard and held her breath for a moment. She steadied herself and then pushed through, saying, “Of course I know.”
Qiao Nian burst out laughing. What did she even know?
“Then, why are you standing in my way?”
Qiao Chen bit her lip and refused to let her leave. “I just want to say that you shouldn’t be so snobbish in the future. If someone exposes you, you’re only going to embarrass yourself.”
Qiao Nian found this ironic and silly.
She was considered a snob just because she said that S was a lady?
Qiao Chen’s eyes flickered and she looked at Qiao Nian boldly. “You don’t even know S, and you couldn’t have met S in person before. You say that S is a lady, but if S is actually a man…”
Qiao Nian cut her off fiercely, “If S is a man, I’ll undergo gender reassignment surgery!”
Qiao Chen did not react in time. Qiao Nian bumped into her and walked off.
This Qiao Nian!
Qiao Chen fumed and her cheeks grew slightly red. Her fingernails dug into her skin.
She was just a commoner from Luohe County.
But she sounded as if she had met S in person before.
How could Qiao Nian possibly know someone like S? She shouldn’t have been so shocked by Qiao Nian just now. She shouldn’t have let her off so easily!
Qiao Chen was annoyed at herself, and the other girls came over to comfort her. “Forget it, Chen Chen. She’s obviously spouting nonsense, why stoop to her level?”
“Exactly. The Class A students are all like that, they think they’re so great because they have good grades.”
Only one person was watching Qiao Nian as she left. She said a little skeptically, “Why do I feel like she isn’t lying?”
It was easy to tell a liar from one who spoke the truth by looking at their eyes. Qiao Nian’s eyes were bright and clear when she said that S was a lady. She didn’t look like she was lying at all.
So, did Chen Chen not know S, or was Qiao Nian spouting nonsense?
…
It was break time.
The Class A students were having fun in class.
Shen Qingqing and a few others immediately came over the moment Qiao Nian entered the classroom.
“Nian Nian.”
Shen Qingqing burst into tears the moment she saw that Qiao Nian was safe and sound.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
She shouldn’t have been a smart-aleck to hunt down the prankster on her own. Qiao Nian had gotten hurt in order to protect her.
Qiao Nian couldn’t bear to watch people cry. She wiped Shen Qingqing’s tears and flashed her wrist at her. “I’m alright now, aren’t I? It’s just a minor injury, it’ll be all good in no time.”
