Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Yangyang was extremely upset.
She didn’t want any credit, but she certainly didn’t want to see Gong Xue’er reap benefits she didn’t sow.
The last class in the morning was a major course, and Xia Yangyang and Gong Xue’er were in the same classroom. They were confronted with each other once again.
After class, neither Gong Xue’er nor Xia Yangyang left.
When everyone else had left the room, Gong Xue’er came over and said, “Do you hate me now for taking your credit?”
Xia Yangyang replied, “Gong Xue’er, don’t you think what you’re doing is incredibly low?”
But Gong Xue’er just laughed, “Low? Xia Yangyang, I’m not like you. I’m not from a well-off family, I had to fight for everything I have. What’s wrong with that, even if it’s a little disgraceful? Nobility is the tombstone of the noble, and being unscrupulous is the free pass for the lowly. You noble people are born with everything, but I, can only use any means necessary. It’s not that I’m lowly, but that life is inherently unfair.”
Xia Yangyang replied, “How did I not realize before that your worldview was so extreme.”
Gong Xue’er laughed, “Xia Yangyang, you can’t blame others. You just make people jealous because of your good fortune. You were born into a wealthy family and you’re beautiful, have a childhood sweetheart who loves you, you’re smart and you have superior academic achievements. But me? My living conditions are worse than even your pet dog’s. However, apart from family, where am I worse than you? Why should I always be trampled under your feet?”
Astonished, Xia Yangyang said, “When did I ever trample you? I have always treated you as my best friend.”
“That was nothing more than pity. You befriended me to contrast your own kindness. You must be very touched. This angelic figure of yours, a friend of someone like me who is struggling to survive in the mud. Don’t you feel great about yourself? Xia Yangyang, you’ve always looked down on me, haven’t you?”
Xia Yangyang remarked, “It’s your own inferiority complex that makes you feel the whole world is against you.”
Xia Yangyang no longer wanted to engage in such conversation. Gong Xue’er’s way of thinking was bizarre.
As Xia Yangyang stood up to leave, Gong Xue’er grabbed her arm. “Gu Qi Chen can only be interviewed by me. Don’t get in my way.”
Before Xia Yangyang could respond, Gong Xue’er spoke again, “Even if you reveal the truth, no one will believe you. Everyone will think you are trying to rob me of my achievements. Xia Yangyang, you have so much – Lu Haotian’s love, a promising future, but one day, all these will be mine.”
Upon hearing Lu Haotian’s name, Xia Yangyang’s heart felt as if pricked by a needle.
And Gong Xue’er knew very well that this was Xia Yangyang’s sore spot and never missed an opportunity to twist the knife in the wound.
The voice of Xia Yangyang turned a bit colder. “Then, I wish you success in your interview this afternoon.”
Gong Xue’er, with a proud tone, replied, “Of course, I will succeed. In due course, the position of editor-in-chief will be mine, Xia Yangyang, honestly, I should be thanking you.”
With that, Gong Xue’er left the classroom.
Watchin Gong Xue’er’s receding figure, Xia Yangyang expressionlessly fished out her cell phone, hesitated for a second, and then dialed a number…
At noon in the canteen, after dinner, Xia Yangyang went to the study room.
When she didn’t have class, Xia Yangyang liked to stay in the library.
However, around three o’clock, Xia Yangyang got a call from Xu Li.
Xia Yangyang answered the phone, “President, what’s up?”
Xu Li said nervously: “Yangyang, come to Shengyuan Building now, President Gu has specifically asked for you to come and interview him. I didn’t know you deserved the credit for this interview, but we can talk about it later. Hurry up and come over..”
