Chapter 918 - The Zhai Family Protecting Their Calf (1/2)

School had just started and today’s subject was one of the main subjects. Not many students dared to skip lessons.

Qiao Nan found a seat and sat down to eat her breakfast secretly. She was afraid that she would be late. Therefore, she did not have her breakfast at the Lin family’s house. Instead, she brought it with her to school.

Qiao Nan, who was eating stealthily like a mouse, did not realize that three pairs of eyes were fixed on her as soon as she sat down. The three of them felt perplexed and were in a fix.

It was only until now that Tang Jiayun and the two of them realized that Qiao Nan and s.h.i.+ Qing did not have a change of dormitory. Instead, they stayed outside the school.

In other words, Qiao Nan was able to move out because of s.h.i.+ Qing.

Previously, the three of them still had some doubts. However, they were very certain now.

s.h.i.+ Qing definitely came from a wealthy and powerful family. It was not surprising that she had houses in the capital. As for Qiao Nan, the freeloader, she was able to stay with her since she was her friend.

Everyone hoped that they would have friends who were ballers, like s.h.i.+ Qing.

When they still had their doubts before, they had already felt upset and jealous of the lucky Qiao Nan. They did not expect that she would be able to befriend a true friend who was a baller back in the countryside.

Now that they were certain that s.h.i.+ Qing’s family was rich, every one of them, particularly Tang Jiayun, felt anguished at missing such a good chance.

For the first time in her life, Tang Jiayun realized what her blind spot was. She was only concerned about moving up the social ladder through dating men from good families, but she forgot that the powerful families had daughters as well.

If she was in a relations.h.i.+p, she would have to be taken advantage of to a certain extent. But if she had a friend like s.h.i.+ Qing, she would be the only person who stood to gain from their relations.h.i.+p.

It was more cost-effective to befriend a female friend than to have a boyfriend.

She always thought that she was smart and clever, but she did not expect that Qiao Nan was much better than her.

If she had known that Qiao Nan was so smart, she should have been humble and learned from her.

Qiao Nan disregarded Tang Jiayun and the two of them, focusing on eating her breakfast. She did not even lift her eyes off her breakfast to notice where they were seated.

After she moved out of the dormitory, Qiao Nan treated Tang Jiayun and the two of them as ordinary cla.s.smates. She merely nodded to acknowledge them when she saw them in school.

Tang Jiayun and the two of them felt guilty. They wanted to befriend Qiao Nan, but they kept dawdling because they were embarra.s.sed.

The three of them took their time to make a move to sit beside Qiao Nan. By the time they made up their mind, a female student from the same faculty had taken the seat next to Qiao Nan. The three of them could not help but stare at her in anger.

Yu Xiaoxiao gave a resigned sigh. “Lü Yan, I decided that I won’t join the two of you. Qiao Nan is not a pushover. Since birds of a feather flock together, I don’t think s.h.i.+ Qing is a pushover either. Given that Qiao Nan moved out of our dormitory, and that s.h.i.+ Qing is on good terms with Qiao Nan, do you think that s.h.i.+ Qing will still help us?”

It was already good enough that s.h.i.+ Qing did not target the two of them as they had listened to Tang Jiayun’s words and ostracized Qiao Nan.

Lü Yan looked listless. “Are we really going to give up just like this? What about our interns.h.i.+ps?”
