Almost half of the people in the classroom were swarming there, and several students who were introverted and usually silent were reading books. She looked around and found that the Gang of Five were not here. She walked over to the crowd. If she wasn't mistaken, it was Huang Xiaofei's voice just now.
At the sight of Murong Xue, people dispersed to open up a way. Some were given special treatment because of their natural aura. Murong Xue was one of them.
"Murong Xue!"
"Murong Xue is so beautiful!"
"Of course! She is the beauty queen of our school!"
"She's even more beautiful if you look closer. She doesn't wear any makeup at all. Born a beauty!"
"..."
Whispers were around the place. No one noticed that Huang Xiaofei's smile grew stiff, and her expression became unnatural.
Murong Xue finally saw Huang Xiaofei, who still wore a delicate dress, but not the one she gifted her. She had a red jewel necklace and bracelet on her neck and wrist, and light makeup on her face. It was obvious that her curly hair had been carefully designed and looked pretty.
"Xiaofei, long time no see. You are so beautiful!" Murong Xue complimented flatly, trying to suppress the doubts in her heart. It was worthy take her to Lizi Pavilion before. Now Huang Xiaofei was both beautiful and confident.
"Thank you. You look way more beautiful than me. By the way, have you recovered from your injury before? I'm sorry. We haven't been keeping..." Huang Xiaofei said with an apologetic smile.
Murong Xue heard from Chu Yisen that he told them to leave. "It's all right. Just a minor injury. By the way, you... Nothing. Let's go to class first!" Originally, she wanted to ask about her recent situation. But there were so many students around her layer after layer, and she felt that Huang Xiaofei was a little nervous. "Forget it." She thought and decided to ask her later at an appropriate time.
"Right, it's almost time for class. Let's go back to our seats." Huang Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
At this time, the bell rang. Murong Xue wanted to sit next to Huang Xiaofei and ask her. She remembered that Huang Xiaofei had said that she wasn't from a wealthy family, but the gems she wore were worth millions of yuan. But Murong Xue was happy to see her live a good life.
However, Huang Xiaofei was surrounded by people, and she was talking and laughing with the students around, paying no attention to Murong Xue. So Murong Xue went to the back of the classroom and found a place to sit down.
In the past, she was always with the Gang of Five, but now no one sat around her seat, making her place particularly empty, while Huang Xiaofei's seat, on the contrary, was surrounded by people. Murong Xue smiled. Huang Xiaofei really changed completely. It was hard to believe that just in a short time, Huang Xiaofei had changed into a different person.
She could still remember Huang Xiaofei had been shy before, but now she was confident and cheerful. However, such a change was quite good, and it was something to be happy about.
Gradually, the school was about to let out. Murong Xue packed up her textbooks and called Huang Xiaofei, but Huang Xiaofei turned around and said apologetically, "Xue, I have an appointment today, and we can take a rain check!" She then quickly left with a few girls before Murong Xue could say anything.
Murong Xue was shocked for a while, then picked up her own book, and went out. Recalling the big smiles on Huang Xiaofei and other girls' faces, she was happy that Huang Xiaofei made many friends. That was nice. Just like her and Mo Aili, they should be good friends. Murong Xue thought as she walked.
Before she made it to the school gate, Murong Xue heard the phone ringing. She turned on her phone and was shocked at the sight of the name on it: Bai Xueli, a long-lost name.
After more than ten seconds, Murong Xue still answered it.
"Hello, Xue!" The soft voice of Bai Xueli came from the other end.
But Murong Xue was not in the mood. "We are not so familiar. There is no need to act like friends! Just cut to the chase."
"Xue, do you hate me?" She said in a wronged tone.
"Yes! I hate your guts!" Murong Xue said fiercely. How could she like someone who stole her ex-boyfriend, not to mention that Bai Xueli knew they were together but still tried to get in between them? Although she had no right to criticize her, she had the right to choose the people she liked.
Bai Xueli at the other end was shocked. Murong Xue's reaction was completely out of her expectation. She thought that with Murong Xue's temper, she would definitely say no. Bai Xueli didn't know what to say now.
After a while, Murong Xue, who didn't hear Bai Xueli speak, continued, "I'll hang up if you don't have anything to say!" Originally, there was nothing to talk about between them. All was history. No matter who was right or wrong, she didn't want to think about it or look back. She had found her own heart again and decided to follow it.
"Wait! I have something to say!" Bai Xueli tried to stop Murong Xue from hanging up.
"Out with it!" Murong Xue almost ran out of patience.
"Can we find a place to talk? I can't make it clear on the phone." Bai Xueli swallowed her anger and said in a soft voice.
Murong Xue frowned and said sarcastically, "You want to cut your wrist like last time? I won't go." Although the last thing had long passed, it didn't mean she forgot, and she intuitively felt that Bai Xueli was up to something.
"It's about the Murong Family. Don't you want to listen?" Her voice grew cold.
Murong Xue's face fell. Her family was precious to her and was also her weak spot. "What're you up to?"
"If you want to know, go to room 23 of Emerald Garden, and I'll wait for you there!" Bai Xueli hung up. She knew Murong Xue would come because one's family was the most effective threat.
Murong Xue looked annoyed at her phone. She was a bit worried and made a phone call home.
"Hello, Mom, it's Xue!"
"Of course, I know it's you. Now you're at school. Is everything okay?" Zhang Keren asked.
Murong Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her mother talk as usual. "Good, just miss you! Did anything happen at home?" She pretended to be casual but was actually nervous within.
"Nothing. Just take care of yourself!"
"What about the company? Anything wrong with it?" Murong Xue continued.
"You seem to be looking forward to bad news at home. Did you cause any trouble outside?" Zhang Keren asked suspiciously.
"No, well, talk to you later! You should pay more attention to your health. I will go back during the holiday. Bye!" Then she hung up quickly. Her mother's feeling was sharp, and she was exposed within a few words.
She felt relieved that everything went well at home. But in case something came up, she still had to meet Bai Xueli. She didn't know what Bai Xueli was up to. If she was fooled, there was nothing she could change. Anyway, she would keep her guard on.
Emerald Garden was a famous restaurant in the capital, but Murong Xue got used to the food in the Space, so she seldom ate at restaurants.
Murong Xue wore the school uniform of the University of Medicine, making her a bit conspicuous. Generally speaking, people who came here for dinner were all formally dressed. Murong Xue forgot to dress up for the occasion because she was in a hurry. Just when she was considering whether to change clothes, a waiter came up and bowed gently. "Are you Miss Murong?"
"Yes!" Murong Xue replied flatly. In fact, in a restaurant like this, one couldn't go in if not dressed up.
"Please follow me. Miss Bai is waiting for you." The waiter said politely.
Murong Xue tagged along. Did Bai Xueli have so much power that this hotel was hers? Murong Xue thought to herself. But her thoughts made sense. Although she seldom came here to eat, she still knew the rules of Emerald Garden. The guy who allowed her to go in wearing school uniforms must be in charge of this hotel or a shareholder.
She wondered if she was sensitive. People around seemed to stare at her and some didn't seem to come over for dinner. They had cameras on them, more like journalists.
Murong Xue quietly followed the waiter and was thinking what Bai Xueli was up to.
At the door of room 23, the waiter stopped, bowed slightly again, and said, "Miss Bai is inside. Please go in!"
Murong Xue showed a cold look and didn't go straight in. Instead, she pushed the door open, and the situation inside was right under her nose. However, unlike what Murong Xue had expected, Bai Xueli was the only one inside.
"What's up? Do you think there is anything fishy?" Bai Xueli said with a sarcastic smile.
Of course, that was what she thought. She went in and said coldly, "Go ahead!"
"No hurry. Sit down first!" Bai Xueli patted the chair beside her.
The waiter outside politely closed the door for them. Murong Xue frowned, walked to the opposite of Bai Xueli, and chose a chair to sit down. She didn't want to be within one meter of Bai Xueli. "What do you want? Why did you say it was about the Murong Family?"
"Will you come if I don't say that?" Bai Xueli said.
Murong Xue frowned. "Are you fooling me?" She stood up and was about to leave immediately.
Bai Xueli took hold of her. "Don't hurry to leave. Anyway, you're already here. Why don't you listen to what I have to say?"
"Don't hold my hand. Out with it if you have anything to say." Murong Xue threw her hand off and stepped back a few steps.
Bai Xueli laughed, "Ha-ha! Murong Xue, are you afraid of me?"
"..."
Murong Xue's patience had run out, and Bai Xueli was doubling over, looking at her in vicious eyes.
Just as she was about to walk to the door, Bai Xueli finally stopped laughing and said slowly, "You know what? Mo never came to see me."
Murong Xue paused. "Nothing to do with me! I have nothing to do with you both!"
"Nothing to do with us? If it weren't for your, how could Mo leave me? Mo is mine. It's all your fault!" Bai Xueli's voice rose to a crescendo. She then pounced on her in madness.
She waved her sharp nails directly to Murong Xue's face. Murong Xue reached out her hand and stopped Bai Xueli's waving hand. But Bai Xueli didn't stop, and she waved the other hand towards her. Murong Xue stepped back slightly. Sure enough, Bai Xueli just wanted to ruin her face.
Murong Xue directly grabbed Bai Xueli's hands and said fiercely, "Bai Xueli, are you crazy?"
"Yes, I'm crazy. I love Mo so much. Why did you take him away!" Bai Xueli struggled hard and even used her feet.
Thinking that Bai Xueli was still pregnant, she had to bear the pain when Bai Xueli kicked her. "Don't be crazy. We're over! Don't worry. Shangguan Mo and I are impossible."
Bai Xueli stopped her flailing hands and feet. "Impossible?" Her tone was skeptical. After pausing for a moment, she kicked Murong Xue even harder. "You b*tch, why don't you love Mo?" In her mind, Shangguan Mo was the best, and no one could replace him. Besides, Shangguan Mo still loved Murong Xue so much. How could she let go and be happy alone after taking them apart?
"You're pushing my boundary!" Murong Xue grabbed Bai Xueli's hand and pressed her on the sofa. "Listen, the past was history. I don't want to know whatever happened between you and Shangguan Mo. Don't come to me for this again."
Now the scar of Shangguan Mo in her heart had turned to a scab. One day, the scab would fall off. Even if it was not now, she would be able to face it calmly in the near future. Likewise, she also had regrets as she didn’t dare to face her heart, and she would bravely pursue it this time.
Murong Xue let go of Bai Xueli after finishing her words and went out.
