Chapter 12 : Rich Family’s Young Miss 12 (2/2)

Shi Sheng gave a short derisive laugh. ‘I prefer dealing with Chu Tang that pervert over Nangong Jing. Even Pervert Chu is better than a narcissistic Nangong Jing!’

“Stop thinking so highly of yourself, Nangong Jing.” Shi Sheng paused before her scornful gaze landed on Su Yiyi. “This eyesight of yours… really isn’t that good. I must have been blind to like you before. Don’t worry I had my eyes fixed so I definitely won’t look at you more than necessary. I’m scared of getting an eye disease.”

Su Yiyi thought hatefully, ‘This woman is indirectly scolding me!’

However, Nangong Jing’s thoughts were still on the phrase ‘thinking so highly of yourself’. He had never thought this phrase would be used to describe him… Especially not by someone who used to like him…

Shi Sheng walked past the two while waving her hand, “Be careful of your white flower[3] climbing over the wall[4]!”

Knowing that Nangong Jing and Su Yiyi might have a place to stay near that apartment, Shi Sheng gave up on moving there. ‘Didn’t Nangong Jing want me to move out of the dormitory? Humph why should I listen to him?’

Hence Shi Sheng stayed in the dormitory. Seeing those three hate her so much their teeth itched yet were unable to do anything to her made her feel much better.

……

Su Yiyi didn’t return that night. The next morning her face was radiant when she returned. When asked by An’an and Xia Ning, Su Yiyi replied that a relative of hers had arrived so she stayed the night at a hotel. Shi Sheng very unobligingly gave a stifled laugh. Su Yiyi immediately shut up.

That night was the night of the ball. The three others in the dormitory had started dressing up since late afternoon. Su Yiyi wasn’t wearing the dress similar to the one Xiao Wei sent but another one. It was white too but the skirt was longer, making her look more fairy-like.

“Yiyi looks really good tonight. Ah, a pity I can’t go with you…” An’an’s face was filled with disappointment.

“Sorry, An’an…” Although Su Yiyi’s face appeared apologetic, if one looked closer, they would find that her eyes were filled with triumphant pride.

An’an smiled as she shook her head. “It’s nothing, nothing at all. You and Senior Ling go have fun.”

However, in her heart she was really jealous to death. If she was able to attend the ball in the West auditorium maybe she could meet an ideal man[5].

Xia Ning had also changed into her outfit. After the three finished exchanging empty pleasantries, Xia Ning’s gaze landed on Shi Sheng who showed no signs of getting up. “Xu Chengyue aren’t you going to the ball?”

“Didn’t you notice she didn’t receive any invitation? There’s no one who’ll bring her so where will she go?” An’an scoffed.

“She can go with us to the South auditorium!”

“Stop joking. With her ‘status’, how can she go with us to the South auditorium. Xu Chengyue why don’t you go seduce one now, maybe you’ll be in time to attend the ball at the West auditorium. This should be easy-peasy to you!”

Xia Ning and An’an spoke in turn to deride Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng shut her notebook before shooting them a smile filled with ill-intent. “Ah that’s right. Going to the West auditorium isn’t hard for me but for you guys… I’m afraid you won’t be able to go there even when you graduate.”

An’an and Xia Ning’s expressions changed. In the end, An’an couldn’t help but retort, “You’re just relying on men what’s to be so proud of? You really think you’re such a hotshot.”

“Don’t you think you’re lacking some face?!”

“If I don’t have a face, how would I rely on men?”

An’an, “…”

In the end An’an lost. Once someone decided to be shameless, if you couldn’t be more shameless then you could only bear with it.

[1] Metaphor for how the person referred to is often lingering in the vicinity.

[2] Act of reliance.

[3] Woman who looks pure and innocent. The truth? Who knows?

[4] Phrase to describe women cheating on men and having an affair with someone else. Probably because in ancient China, women often stayed at home so to cheat they’d have to ‘climb over a wall’.

[5] It says ‘高富帅’ which means ‘tall, rich and handsome’. Basically the ideal partner for (most?) women.
