Jiang Bilian said, “You can’t say that. The school has already announced that they are chasing you out of school. I was thinking, you’re just a poor student without help, what could you do to survive once you’re kicked out? How about I give you some money. Anyway, we’re classmates, so I should help.”
It turned out that this was her real purpose, to mock Xia Yingluo.
Was Xia Yingluo a beggar? She changed her expression and smiled. “Sister Bilian, I didn’t think you were so kind, it seems that I was mistaken to think you were pretentious and hypocritical. I was just thinking I have nowhere to go after being kicked out from the training camp.”
Jiang Bilian twitched at her words. What did she mean by she was pretentious and hypocritical?
However, at least Xia Yingluo knew to admit defeat, her flattering smile the evidence. She must have found that she had no means of survival after she left the training camp, so she was trying to curry favor with her to dig out some benefits.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bilian smiled proudly and said stubbornly, “Look at how you’re talking. You’re about to be expelled and you’re just a poor soul, why would I fuss over minor matters with you?” She said with an air of arrogance that could only come from a winner.
Xia Yingluo said concisely, “Yeah, yeah.”
Jin Ling’er looked awkward beside her, and she said loudly, “Yingluo, why are you so polite to her?!”
Zhu Zhu sneered and shouted loudly as well, “Jin Ling’er, you are so rude. Our sister Bilian is kind to care about Xia Yingluo, but you really don’t know to appreciate her kindness! Sister Bilian has originally prepared some money to help out Xia Yingluo and help her live a good life after getting expelled, what can you do to help your friend besides shouting all over the place?”
Jin Ling’er was angered and was about to say something when Xia Yingluo stopped her. “Ling’er.”
Looking at her shaking her head, Jin Ling’er was so angry that she said nothing. Yes, she could not help Xia Yingluo out materialistically, how was she to live after leaving the training camp? Maybe Yingluo had also thought of this problem, which would explain why she was being so polite to Jiang Bilian.
However, didn’t Yingluo have a powerful boyfriend? Why couldn’t she just ask her boyfriend for help?
Her heart was messy and full of doubts.
Over there, in the hallway of the dormitory building, their loud noises had attracted a large number of people. They all came to watch the liveliness, pointing and gossiping. Zhu Zhu was very proud. She had intended such a reaction. She had intensively publicized to the crowd just how kind her sister Bilian was, sending help over as soon as she heard Xia Yingluo was getting expelled.
“Xia Yingluo, as long as you apologize to Sister Bilian, Sister Bilian will give you a lot of money so that you can live a good life after getting expelled,” Zhu Zhu said loudly. This was the reason why they had come today. They wanted to give alms to their former adversary Xia Yingluo and portray her as a beggar in front of everyone, to vent their anger and let everyone know Jiang Bilian’s gentleness and nobility.
“Worry-less life?” Xia Yingluo smiled meaningfully.
“Yes,” Jiang Bilian said. “It’s not easy for a girl to go out to society. The men won’t give you money either, right? Otherwise, your life won’t be so miserable,” she said, looking Xia Yingluo up and down. Xia Yingluo wore a discounted shirt and skirt she had bought from a store at the school gate. Her face showing a hint of disdain, she said, “Take the money to help yourself live better and stop tangling with the men who are just playing with you. Sugar daddies are not so easily tied down, don’t lose your body and gain nothing from it.”
Xia Yingluo said, “Then I really want to thank Sister Bilian. I don’t really have high requirements for a good life. I want nothing more than a single villa in a prime location, surrounded by trees. When I leave the house, there’ll be a private driver, and two famous chefs and a nanny. Oh, and of course, a gardener and a bodyguard, that’s all. Sister Bilian is really generous to help me get all these together. ”
Jiang Bilian didn’t expect her to bite off more than she could chew. She was stunned for a moment and realized that Xia Yingluo was only playing with her.
Jin Ling’er smiled and said, “Yes, yes, our Yingluo’s requirements are not high. It’s just a little higher than the highest standard of life of Miss Jiang. I heard that your family has been without a bodyguard so far? And the chef also cooks horribly? Hahaha!”
The onlookers also laughed. A few smart people had already seen through it. This Jiang Bilian was deliberately showing off her wealth in front of Xia Yingluo but was severely slapped in the face by her instead. She had opened a condition she could not afford and was going to be very awkward.
Jiang Bilian was annoyed. “Xia Yingluo, I’m helping you out of kindness!”
“I know.” Xia Yingluo blinked innocently. “I also sincerely made a little request, Sister Bilian. It can’t be that you can’t even do this little thing? I, I have already removed the conditions of a private helicopter, an English butler, and a personal garden. If you’re not able to fulfill them, how about I remove the bodyguard as well?” She gave an “I’m being very accommodating and wronged” expression.
Jiang Bilian was so angry that she was about to explode. Why would she mention the bodyguard here?!
Although many top and wealthy people were accompanied by bodyguards, her family was not one of them! Even the bodyguards had to be temporarily employed when the family held a party. Wasn’t Xia Yingluo laughing at her for not being a real aristocrat? You had to know, this had always been a pain in her heart. She regretted that her family history was not good enough, and she had to lower her head to the bigger people such as Imperial Entertainment’s Pei family!
“Xia Yingluo.” Jiang Bilian gritted her teeth. “Do you really think the lives of rich people are really like that after watching idol dramas? Our Jiang family is very low-key. As for you, you should learn to be low-key. Since you were born to be poor, don’t think too much about living the life of a rich person. You can’t even afford a rental house, yet you still want a helicopter and a chef? Are these something you are qualified to ask for?”
Xia Yingluo sneered. She actually was able to ask for them.
How many private islands and servants did she have? Too many that she didn’t even bother to remember!
In other families, the son was always the most fawned upon. But in her family? Counting up three generations, the Li family didn’t have a daughter, so after giving birth to her after a long time, the whole family treated her like a treasure. And the situation in the Xia family was also similar. Her mother Xia Ling had explored the outside world since young and didn’t let her uncle and grandfather enjoy much of being with a daughter, so naturally, they all wanted to find the joy from her and doted on her terribly. They would even pluck the stars from the sky for her if they could. In such circumstances, what did she not have?
Her conditions were really not enough!
Jiang Bilian didn’t seem to think so. She looked at the glaring smile on Xia Yingluo’s face and said, “Since you are so confident, it seems you don’t need my help at all. Then I wish you won’t become a beggar after getting kicked out of the training camp, and…”
