“No idea.” Qiao Nan shook her head honestly.
“Qiao Nan, on the account that we are cla.s.smates, I must remind you, these books seem to be very costly. The reception office might have the wrong person. You had better handle the books with care and do not make any scribblings. If not, you might not be able to pay for the books.” Zhao Yu gloated at the thought. There was no way that someone would give Qiao Nan these books as a present.
“It’s only worth a few yuan, why can’t my sister afford it?” Zhu Baoguo glared at her in anger.
“Zhu Baoguo, you may be rich, but that’s your business. Qiao Nan did not have the money. Qiao Nan, you are not thinking of using Zhu Baoguo’s money to pay for the books?”
The more protective Zhu Baoguo was of Qiao Nan, the more frustrated Zhao Yu was.
Zhao Yu was aware that Zhu Baoguo and Zhu family had lots of money. She could tell from the fact that someone drove him to school every morning.
In this school, there were not many students who had a chauffeur to take them to school. Zhu Baoguo came from an established family.
“You do not have to worry about that.” Qiao Nan kept the books. Zhao Yu’s words might be hurtful but they made sense. Even if the staff at the reception office made it very clear that the sender had specified that the parcel was for her, it would not hurt to be careful.
Besides, there was no need to make notes on the books. She had lots of rough paper. Her teachers were very generous with rough paper.
Zhu Baoguo found it incredulous that Qiao Nan could maintain her composure despite Zhao Yu’s hurtful words. “She was trying to mess with you, yet you are not angry?”
“That would be a waste of energy and time.”
“Why does she always say that of you? Are you very poor?”
Qiao Nan who was reading the books paused for a second, “I have always been poor.”
In her previous lifetime, in the eight years of school before she quit and started to work, she had never once used a new eraser or a new pen. All of her stationery was that which Qiao Zijin had no use of.
As time pa.s.sed, her cla.s.smates eventually noticed that.
In her previous lifetime, part of the reason why Qiao Nan quit school and submitted to Ding Jiayi’s wishes was also due to that.
Unlike Zhao Yu who would laugh and tease her to her face, in her previous life, most people would talk behind her back. Qiao Nan had overheard their conversations for a few times.
As a child growing up in that kind of environment, this gossiping and badmouthing would hurt one’s feelings, not to mention the fact that children at this age were very sensitive.
At that time Qiao Nan was only a child, she could not take all the gossiping and grew to be very quiet in cla.s.s. Other than her teachers, no one liked her.
In this lifetime, Qiao Nan was still used to being alone, she did not intend to make friends. But at the very least she would no longer feel ashamed when people made hurtful remarks just like what Zhao Yu had said to her just now.
“Don’t worry, I have the money.” Zhu Baoguo patted his chest out of loyalty. He had nothing except loads of money.
“Silly.” Qiao Nan rolled her eyes at Zhu Baoguo. No wonder he was beaten up by hooligans. What a bad mouth he had. He was not good with words and was not likable at all.
“You are the silly one. Lots of people are queuing up to have my money. But it all depends on my mood. I am offering it to you, yet you reject me?” When Zhu Baoguo was not at school, he would always have a bunch of sidekicks with him.
