63 Human Trafficking (1/2)
I choked on the water that I was drinking when I heard their exchange of words. Vincent Gu, it was for the greater good! You should not be stingy to a good samaritan like me.
After coughing for a few seconds I was finally able to calm my self. A white handkerchief is now in front of me. A slender white hand is holding it in mid-air. I moved my head to look at the man slightly leaning towards me. Instead of a smile, I took the handkerchief while glaring at him. I wiped my mouth as I cleared my throat. Vincent only shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back on his chair.
I am an arm's length away from Neo and Vincent. If we are only a bit closer I would love to step on those expensive sneakers of his.
”Are you okay dear?” I heard my mother said.
I stopped glaring at Vincent. I reassuringly smiled at my mother for her not to worry. ”Yes aunt- - I mean mother, I am fine.”
”Good. Eat more, you are too skinny you need to add more nutrients to your body,” she said.
”Yes.” I respectfully said to her.
I silently continued to eat my dinner as they continued their previous conversation. ”I heard that you are quite popular in school Vincent. Your uniform actually cost a lot. I guess the girls in your Academy is screaming your name as you walk down the hall” my mother said to Vincent. I am subconsciously nodding my head right now! You're right mother! Those girls aren't just screaming his name they are actually throwing expensive gifts to his direction everytime he passes by.
”Mother Z, that is not true. I am the vice president of the student council so it is only natural that they know of me. I won't say that I am that popular in school. Compared to young master Yuan's popularity, mine is close to nothing.” Vincent said as he elegantly sipped his wine.
I secretly rolled my eyes when I heard what Vincent just said. What close to nothing??!! If you think that those hundreds of girls screaming your name every morning is nothing compared to Neo's fans then are you implying that my haters are now equivalent to millions??!!! Ugh! Come on! Stop acting humble in front of my parents Vincent Gu. You must be crazy, thinking that those crazy girls of yours are still not enough.
”Oh, really? Hmmm... Judging by Young Master Yuan's good looks and favorable background then it is not surprising to hear that he is also popular in school. I'm guessing that girls must be throwing themselves at you, Mr. Yuan.” Mother said.
”Well, I don't honestly know how popular I am, I did not come to school to count how many girls are after me anyway so I never did give it that much attention,” Neo said in a low indifferent tone of voice.
