269 269 Life Is Like a Play
As soon as she entered the door, she was surrounded by seven or eight girls. Although she was popular in the past, after a few accidents, the people in the class were not so warm to her. What was going on now?
“Jingjing, I heard that Uncle Tan took you to meet the Tao family from the capital this weekend?” A rich second generation daughter said.
“Jingjing, are you on very good terms with their family? I heard that you guys even had dinner together.” another said.
“There’s a limited edition perfume under the Tao family that I really like. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get it. Since you’re on good terms with them, will you be able to get any of them privately in the future?”
Their school had no shortage of rich second-generation heirs.
“What are you talking about?” Tan Jing greeted them with a smile and said shyly, “It’s nothing. It’s just that the Tao family from the capital has some business cooperation with my father. He was just bringing me there to gain more experience.”
“Jingjing, don’t be so humble.” A girl held her arm. “I heard that you guys went to the villa that the Tao family just invested in. The expenses there aren’t cheap!”
“That’s right, Jingjing! If you have connections, help me pull some strings. I really like the Tao family’s perfume.” Another girl held her other arm.
Tan Jing pulled her arm out and put on a fake smile. “It’s true. I…..”
‘Damn it, how did everyone know? She clearly didn’t tell anyone. Could it be that Tan Rou, that little slut, had set a trap for her to fall into?’
“Forget it if you don’t want to say it.” The rich second-generation heiress didn’t want to be cold to Tan Jing either.
“We won’t snatch it from you. We just want you to help us matchmake and get some of the perfume. Why are you being so stingy?”
“Let’s go, let’s go. She’s about to become a heiress. Why would she care about us?”
Everyone dispersed.
Tan Jing was furious. This hateful Tan Rou actually dared to scheme against her like this. She wanted to teach her a lesson.
Wei Ling, who was sitting in her seat, saw her and hurriedly began the second round of guidance.
“Jingjing, are you really going to marry into the Tao family from the capital?” Wei Ling looked happy for her. “That’s great! You must invite me to the wedding!” She had said this in front of Song Lin and Tan Jing.
“What?! Jingjing is going to marry the Tao family from the capital?” The rich second-generation heirs immediately surrounded her. “Really? That’s great.”
“That’s right, Jingjing. Don’t forget us when you’re rich in the future!”
Wei Ling pretended to be jealous and said, “I don’t have such a good life like Jingjing. First, it’s the Zhuang family. Then, when you rejected them, you even got the Tao family! There’s also the pursuit of the two male idols from our class. You’re so lucky!”
Tan Jing almost couldn’t maintain the fake smile on her face. Why was Wei Ling revealing her secrets?!
Initially, everyone only wanted to get close to Tan Jing after hearing Wei Ling’s words. Now, after hearing Wei Ling’s words, their jealous souls burned. Why did everything nice happen to Tan Jing?
“Wei Ling, what nonsense are you spouting?” Tan Jing rebuked. “I have nothing to do with them. Also, don’t talk nonsense about the Tao family. It’s just a collaboration between our families.”
“Don’t be angry, Jingjing.” Wei Ling looked like she had only realized what was going on. “I really didn’t mean to say it. I’m just happy for you. After all, it’s a marriage alliance with the Tao family from the capital. Many people would die for it.”
The more Tan Jing listened to it, the angrier she got. “Wei Ling, stop spouting nonsense!”
Seeing that Tan Jing was getting mad, the rest of them left.
“If you don’t want to say it, then we’ll keep quiet then. Look at how pretentious you are.”
“Tsk, you’re still pretending to be nice after getting a good bargain.”
Tan Jing was about to explode with anger. She blamed Wei Ling. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Wei Ling said with a faint smile, “Jinghing, I’m just trying to help you. Recently, everyone has been dissatisfied with you. It is quite obvious and I was trying to help you regain your reputation. This is a good opportunity. It’ll help you regain your previous position. Isn’t that good?”
Tan Jing felt a chill down her spine. It was different. Wei Ling was different. She didn’t know when Wei Ling had become someone she couldn’t control.
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be getting any money from me?!” Tan Jing threatened.
“Oh! I’m sorry, Jingjing.” Only then did Wei Ling remember her character. She quickly tried to salvage the situation. “I didn’t do it on purpose. If you don’t like it, I won’t say it again.”
Tan Jing calmed down a little. She realized that Wei Ling had changed and she didn’t recognize her anymore. Damn it, someone must have said something to Wei Ling.
