Chapter 74 - Im on Your Side (2/2)

Du Xiaoxian did not say anything. She shook her head again.

Wang Qian was a little anxious and said, “Xiaoxian, don’t you even tell me? I’m your best friend.”

Du Xiaoxian said slowly, “Wang Qian, if I don’t have money, will you still be my friend?”

“Of course,” Wang Qian said, “true friends are not measured by money. I’ll be your friend whether you have money or not.”

Du Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment and said, “My family isn’t rich.”

Wang Qian rolled her eyes and didn’t want to talk anymore. She had experienced Du Xiaoxian’s tenacity and knew that if she didn’t want to talk about something, it was useless no matter how hard she was forced. Nevertheless, did she have to lie? No money? She didn’t care whether others believed it or not. As for her, she didn’t buy it. If Du Xiaoxian’s family wasn’t rich, how could she have such a precious bag? Why was there a luxury car to pick her up every day? Why was she dressed in clothes that were of more famous brands than Yang Liying’s?

Well, if she didn’t want to say it, so be it. Wang Qian didn’t take it to heart. The little girl was very easy to get along with and generous to her. She looked at her own skirt that cost 9999 yuan. If she bought it herself, she would definitely feel heartache and be scolded by her parents. Now that someone sent it as a gift to her, she felt extremely satisfied. Wang Qian felt that making friends with Du Xiaoxian was much better than currying favor with Yang Liying. She hoped that she could become Du Xiaoxian’s best friend.

When Du Xiaoxian and Wang Qian returned with the milk tea, Liu Tiantian deliberately looked at Du Xiaoxian carefully. She sized Du Xiaoxian up, assessing every detail of her body. Nevertheless, she could not see what was special about Du Xiaoxian that enabled her to rob others of their boyfriends. She was dull and timid. Her figure was thin like a wooden board. Her face was delicate and her eyes were pretty, but not to the extent that could be called fascinating. Liu Tiantian thought that perhaps it was because of Jiang Kaiwei that Yang Liying felt uncomfortable. When the two of them stood together, Yang Liying was much more eye-catching than Du Xiaoxian. However, Jiang Kaiwei didn’t even look at Yang Liying. It would be strange for a proud spoiled princess like Yang Liying not to be angry!

After school, Du Xiaoxian saw Cheng Mingchi again. She called him. Cheng Mingchi clearly heard it, but pretended not to hear it. He hurriedly went to get his bicycle. Du Xiaoxian felt strange and dragged Wang Qian to catch up with him. When Cheng Mingchi was fetching his bicycle, Du Xiaoxian went to the front of him. Only then did she find that Cheng Mingchi’s forehead was blue and the corner of his mouth was broken. It was evident that he had fought with someone.

Du Xiaoxian asked in surprise, “Cheng Mingchi, what happened to you?”

Cheng Mingchi responded falteringly and said “Nothing.” He then got on the bicycle and left.

Wang Qian said, “I really didn’t expect that a good student like Cheng Mingchi would fight!”

At this moment, Du Xiaoxian saw Yu Yuanpo leaning against the tree and smiling at her strangely. Du Xiaoxian’s heart skipped a beat, but she didn’t think too much about it. She walked over and questioned him, “Did you hit Cheng Mingchi?”

“Well then, you two really love each other. He was beaten for you, and you questioned me for him?”

“Did you hit him?” Du Xiaoxian asked again.

“So what?” Yu Yuanpo said disdainfully. “You want to stand up for him?”

Wang Qian tried to drag Du Xiaoxian away and whispered, “Yu Yuanpo is the overlord in school. Let’s not provoke him!”

Du Xiaoxian looked at Yu Yuanpo and said word by word, “You are not a good person!”

“Indeed, I am not.” Yu Yuanpo said, not caring a pin. “Why didn’t you just say that I’m a bad guy?”

Du Xiaoxian was a little angry when she saw his rascal manner. Her face blushed and she clenched her fists tightly. Then she loosened her grip and said, “I won’t hit you.” With that, she held Wang Qian’s arm and walked towards the school gate.

Yu Yuanpo blinked his eyes. Had this little girl thought of hitting him? Yu Yuanpo couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he watched the thin figure slowly walking away. He had never seen anyone who overestimated themselves like her before!

When Du Xiaoxian was back in Gu Nianbin’s office, she actually had a long face. However, she usually had a dull face. Even if she was angry, there wasn’t much expression on her face. Therefore, Zhou Ting didn’t notice it. But Gu Nianbin noticed it and pulled his little girl to his side. He asked softly, “Why are you unhappy?”

“You knew that Mr. Jiang bought the shoes, didn’t you?”

“He went to look for you,” Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “and then you insisted to give him the money, right?”

“It’s not about money.” Du Xiaoxian said. “Since you don’t like him, I don’t like him either. I don’t want his things.”

Gu Nianbin felt warmth surging in his heart. He grabbed the little girl’s fingers and kissed them. This was what he thought in his heart privately. But… President Gu was a gentleman and didn’t want to impose his own opinion on Du Xiaoxian. He and Jiang Kaiwei were just business competitors, not mortal enemies.

“He and I are not friends, but it doesn’t stop you from making friends with him.” Gu Nianbin said. “Of course, you can only be ordinary friends.”

“No,” said the little girl anxiously. “I’m on your side.”

“I know, of course you’re on my side.” Gu Nianbin played with her fingers. “Just like Shao Baiqing, he’s also on my side, but he and Jiang Kaiwei are also friends.”

Du Xiaoxian looked at him puzzledly for a while and said, “I don’t care about Mr. Shao. Anyway, whatever you don’t like, I don’t like them either.”

“Alright, if you don’t like him, so be it. That person really isn’t pleasing.” “I’ll have someone pay him tomorrow. We won’t owe him anything, okay?” Gu Nianbin said.

“I already swiped my card.” Du Xiaoxian said.

Gu Nianbin opened his eyes wide. “Did he carry a POS terminal with him?”

Du Xiaoxian described what happened at noon in detail. Gu Nianbin laughed heartily. After he finished laughing, he said, “Xiaoxian, I really think you can make friends with him.”

Du Xiaoxian clenched her small fist and waved it. “Say it again!”

Gu Nianbin grabbed her little fist and took the opportunity to kiss her. Now Du Xiaoxian dared to wave her fist at him. The way she pretended to be angry was really cute. It was really good! It was good of her to be so alive!
