"What are you picking up money for? Study hard, it's math class next. If you don't pay attention now, you won't understand anything!" Mianmian said and then focused on her studies.
Qian Xiaoguo, "..."
She felt something was wrong. Jiang Mianmian had been acting strange all day.
"Is this hair clip really that expensive?" Qian Xiaoguo still wanted to know.
"I don't know. My mom put it on for me. I didn't even look," she replied.
"Oh, then what about your necklace?" Qian Xiaoguo looked at the necklace, which was clearly not cheap.
"I don't know either. It was a gift from my mother's boyfriend when we first met. I just wore it because it looked pretty. Who knew it would cause so much trouble." Mianmian actually disliked trouble, especially this kind. But she couldn't give up her right to wear pretty jewelry just because she was afraid of trouble.
Since everyone liked to mock the poor, she didn't want to be mocked by that group.
Afterward, Wu Xiaogui's followers looked at Mianmian with fear in their eyes, as if she were a tigress.
Finally, when school was over, several girls gathered in front of Jiang Mianmian. Jiang Mianmian just glanced at them coldly.
"I'm sorry, classmate Jiang Mianmian. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have joined Wu Xiaogui in mocking you. I apologize and hope you can forgive me."
"Classmate Jiang Mianmian, I truly know I was wrong. Please don't let your father and uncle cause trouble for our families. My father will beat me to death."
"We will never dare to bully anyone again. Please forgive us this time."
The girls begged for forgiveness in a flurry of words. Mianmian said speechlessly, "I'll let it go this time. I hope there won't be a next time."
Her father wasn't that idle to actually cause trouble for her classmates' families. Besides, it wasn't a big deal, and her father knew what he was doing.
Seeing that she had agreed, the girls finally felt relieved and left with tears of gratitude.
Qian Xiaoguo said, "These people are really ridiculous. Following someone around all day. Does Wu Xiaogui even give them money?"
"Study math properly. Why bother with others? Let's go, it's time to eat," Jiang Mianmian tidied her things and went to eat with Qian Xiaoguo.
By the time the two of them reached the cafeteria, most of the seats were taken. After the commotion this morning, the news had spread throughout the entire school: Jiang Mianmian wasn't a poor school beauty, but a true "beauty from a wealthy family," a top-tier rich girl!
Suddenly, Jiang Mianmian's aura seemed to grow even stronger. After all, everyone has a tendency to admire strength, especially when it comes to top-tier wealthy individuals.
Her classmates' gazes towards Jiang Mianmian changed.
Jiang Tianci was annoyed. Before, only he knew Jiang Mianmian's identity. Now, for Yun Buji, she had openly revealed her identity as a young lady. This made him feel as if his own possession was being coveted by everyone, which made him very uncomfortable.
He bought his food and, with a smile, came to share a table with Jiang Mianmian and Qian Xiaoguo. Qian Xiaoguo was initially excited, but remembering Mianmian's words, she calmed down and didn't show excessive enthusiasm.
However, sharing tables with classmates was a very normal thing, and neither of them had any objections.
After the three of them had gotten their food, Jiang Tianci asked, "Mianmian, I sent you a friend request. Please accept it."
Actually, he had sent it several days ago, but Jiang Mianmian had never accepted it. He thought perhaps it was because Yun Buji was thick-skinned that Jiang Mianmian treated him differently. So, he decided he could be thick-skinned too.
