507 Shameless (2/2)

”Why?” Zheng Yuanshi asked subconsciously.

”Because by then she would feel so shameless and would have lost her face,” Lu Man replied lightly and casually.

Pfft!

Lu Man sure had a wicked mouth!

”You!” Fan Xiyue was extremely livid, and shot daggers at Lu Man. ”Fine, just you wait! I really want to see your grades!”

”Hmph! Don't make such empty promises and be boastful right now. When you really can't beat us with your grades, you will end up slapping yourself in the face with your words.”

”That's right, don't think that just because you acted in a movie, you are very talented. When you film a movie, you can have many takes, but it's different from a live performance. During the examination, there will be a live performance and the teacher won't give you a chance if you NG.”

”Haha,” Lu Man laughed coldly. She didn't continue to bother with them and went back to revising her work instead.

”Xiaoying, I really can't stand how obnoxious she is,” Yu Jingxian proclaimed loudly, ”You definitely can beat her in the exams. Let her know how ridiculous and what a joke she is.”

”That's right!” Zhuang Tingting supported her and spoke loudly too, ”Otherwise, some people would forever remain so conceited.”

Zhang Xiaoying pursed her lips. She was gloating inwardly and very happy, but instead she said, ”Try to be quiet and keep a low profile. We aren't so full of ourselves like some people.”

”Xiaoying, you are too humble.” Somebody else said, ”When you keep a low-profile, other people will think that they are oh so amazing.”

”Xiaoying, you don't have to keep a low profile. We all know your grades. Back then you got into the university after securing first place in Cultural Studies and Professional Performance. Yet, someone here has the cheek to be so boastful in front of you, it sure is ridiculous!”

”Enough!” Pan Xue roared angrily. ”Did Lu Man offend you? Why is every single one of you being so bitter and dragging her down? She's just quietly and peacefully studying at the corner, and has never said anything. Yet one after another, all of you just keep talking and talking non-stop. She just rebutted you guys a little, and you're even unhappy about it? Oh, so is it that only you guys are allowed to deride Lu Man, but Lu Man is not allowed to retort? Who do you think you are! The king of the world?” 'Lose face' means to be embarrassed/shameful in Chinese. It means you can't even face people because of how ashamed/embarrassed you are.
