158 What Is Your Reputation Worth (1/2)
”Why isn't that fellow here yet?” Qin Xiaoyou snorted silently. Lines of displeasure formed on her forehead. He was always late. How rude; he didn't have a shred of demeanor.
Three people walked out of the school gate in a row. The girl among them saw Qin Xiaoyou, raised her eyebrows, walked up and asked, ”Xiaoyou, who are you waiting for?”
”Waiting for someone,” Qin Xiaoyou said as she glanced at the girl. She smiled as she answered, but didn't mention who she was waiting for.
The girl was named Chen Xinyi. She was a roommate in the same dormitory as Qin Xiaoyou. They would usually exchange a few words, but their relationship wasn't all that good. It was this woman that wanted to spend money to buy her necklace, but she had refused, so the two of them had a slightly estranged relationship. After Wang Xiaofei knew about this, she even scolded Chen Xinyi.
”Waiting for Mo Wen?” Chen Xinyi said smiling.
As Qin Xiaoyou's roommate, how could she not know Qin Xiaoyou had a close relationship with a guy named Mo Wen that would most likely develop into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?
Qin Xiaoyou did not comment and pouted as she smiled, not answering Chen Xinyi.
”Let me introduce you. He is my boyfriend Zheng Yunde. He's a third year senior, as well as the president of the guitar society. He is one of the most famous people in the school.” Chen Xinyi pucked her lips, feeling proud as she said this.
Following behind her were two guys. They were tall and were decent looking. One of them was right next to Chen Xinyi. He wore a plaid shirt and white pants, with a branded watch on his wrist, seemingly a Rolex.
He smiled at Qin Xiaoyou, giving off a bright, handsome vibe.
Although Zheng Yunde wasn't one of the Top Ten Young Masters in the school, he was still a fairly popular guy. Not only was his family background decent, but his grades were good, and he was especially good at singing. He was also fairly proficient with a guitar. In the eyes of normal people, this was a classic tall, rich, and handsome type of guy, the kind that was chased by girls all the time.
Chen Xinyi wasn't bad looking either. She was sweet looking, with fair, smooth skin. She had spent a long time chasing after Zheng Yunde before managing to win over this Prince Charming that was fancied by many a girl.
Qin Xiaoyou smiled politely. Chen Xinyi liked to show off. She would always be talking about her boyfriend. Although this was her first time meeting Zheng Yunde, she knew a few things about him.
”Xiaoyou. Glad to meet you.”
The other person behind Chen Xinyi took a step forward and with a smile, reached out his hand in front of Qin Xiaoyou and said, ”Ah, Young Master He, I was just about to introduce you. You are so impatient. Is it because you saw a beauty like Xiaoyou that you could not wait?”
Chen Xinyi teasingly rolled her eyes at Young Master He, pouting as she said, ”Xiaoyou, his name is He Mingge. Young Master He is from the capital's He clan. His older brother He Mingting is a VIP ranked fifth on the Top Ten Young Masters.”
When Chen Xinyi looked at He Mingge, her eyes flashed past an ambiguous look.
Looking at the enthusiastic Young Master He, Qin Xiaoyou scowled slightly. She took a slight step back, not shaking his hand, and with a reserved smile said, ”So you are Young Master He. I've heard about you before.” These naturally were just polite words. Before this, Qin Xiaoyou had never known about He Mingge.
”Xiaoyou, it's so rare for us to bump into each other like this. Let's have a meal together. Today willl be my treat,” He Mingge laughed, seemingly not embarrassed as he retracted his hand, looking at Qin Xiaoyou as she laughed.
”That's right Xiaoyou. Young Master He is treating us. We can't damage his reputation,” Chen Xinyi took the opportunity to side with him saying.
”Today I already have a prior engagement,” Qin Xiaoyou shook her head. Her rejection was obvious. She had no interest to have a meal with some strangers, what more when she was waiting for Mo Wen.
”Xiaoyou, today is Young Master He's birthday. It's not good if you don't go. Just showing up for a bit won't be too much of a hassle,” Chen Xinyi raised her voice slightly. Young Master He had personally invited her, and yet she still didn't want to go. He tried to give face, but she did not want to give face.
In the first place, she didn't want Qin Xiaoyou to come along. She was thinking how to win over this wealthy young master, but now Young Master He was obviously interested in Qin Xiaoyou. If she didn't stand out to speak, it would undoubtedly make Young Master He feel upset.
”When I said I'm not going, it means I'm not going,” Qin Xiaoyou frowned. Other people's birthdays had nothing to do with her.
The atmosphere became tense. Chen Xinyi had not thought that knowing Young Master He's identity, Xiaoyou would still not give face. He Mingge's face turned tense too. A glimpse of anger flashed past his eyes. No one had dared to reject him before.
”Xiaoyou, it's not good to not show proper respect. We are all studying in the same school and we will meet frequently in the future…” Chen Xinyi's voice lowered; her threatening tone was obvious.
”Give who the proper respect?” Suddenly, a voice rang abruptly behind everyone. Qin Xiaoyou looked at the person appearing behind them. A glimpse of glee flashed past her eyes.
”Mo Wen,” Qin Xiaoyou called out his name softly; she quickly walked towards Mo Wen, hugging his arm. Her affection was obvious.
