Chapter 53

“I did not forget, it’s just that… I did not invite her,” Ye Qing mumbled and looked at Jiang Xia pitifully, fidgeting with her hands nervously. “I just wanted my birthday celebration to be a merry one. I don’t want my friends to feel awkward because there is a stranger there.”

Xiao Haiqing did not buy Ye Qing’s explanation and let out a snort.

A stranger?

Ye Qing as the commissary in charge of studies always thought she was better than everyone else. There were only two or three of Ye Qing’s classmates that she really spoke to, and most of the classmates she had invited had actually never talked to her. How dare she claim to be familiar with all of them now?

It was obvious that Ye Qing was just trying to embarrass Jing Yunzhao, and she was doing it while pretending to be the victim, as if Jing Yunzhao was the one who left her no choice but to make that decision.

A loud tearing sound was heard.

“You are right, Ye Qing. It won’t be a happy night if people who barely know each other gather together, so I apologize in advance for not attending your birthday party since we barely know each other. Also, I actually promised Yunzhao to have dinner together on that day, and I’m sure I’d have a better time if it was just Yunzhao and I,” Xiao Haiqing said sweetly, holding the torn pieces of her invitation.

Xiao Haiqing’s sharp tongue was evident as she implied that it wouldn’t be enjoyable with Ye Qing around.

“Fine! The two of you can eat together since you like each other so much then. Good for you, Jing Yunzhao, for befriending a rich person. Who knows, maybe Xiao Haiqing can even pay for your tuition fees and take care of you for the rest of your life,” Ye Qing snarled viciously. She had a short temper and always tried her very best to hide it, but she lost it when Xiao Haiqing humiliated her in front of the whole class.

“It’s just a meal. Are you saying that by treating your classmates on your birthday, you are planning to pay for their tuition fees and take care of them for the rest of their lives?” Jing Yunzhao asked casually.

“Our Princess Ye is loaded, I am sure it is easy for her to take care of the whole class; unlike poor me who had to let Jing Yunzhao buy the meal,” Xiao Haiqing said simply.

The classroom was silent by the time their bickering simmered down.

Ye Qing looked like she had suffered the greatest grievance ever. Her eyes were red and filled with tears and her lips trembled as if she were about to cry.

“Be careful, Jing Yunzhao – the dishes at Xiang Hai Restaurant are not cheap so make sure that you bring enough money. After all, you are too young to be working to pay for your meal. But since we are classmates, do come to me if you do not have enough money to pay, and I shall pay for you,” said Ye Qing after a while.

It was obvious that Ye Qing was being provocative.

Jing Yunzhao’s lips curled as she remembered some news about one of her classmates in her previous life.

She wasn’t sure who the classmate was at first, but after all this, it became clear to her that the news was about Ye Qing.

Ye Qing’s father was a merchant who owned four or five supermarket chains. The scale of his business was not small, and he was considered to be rather prominent in a place like Huaning County. However, her father later decided to invest in something else with the working capital that he had and ended up losing all his money. He quickly became indebted and Ye Qing turned from a princess to a peasant who was poorer than most of her classmates.

But Ye Qing was so prideful that she continued pretending to be rich, and it pushed her mother over the edge into committing suicide.

Jing Yunzhao remembered that the incident happened soon after she was withdrawn from school in her previous life, which meant that this was the time when Ye Qing’s family started facing trouble.

Jing Yunzhao sneered at Ye Qing as she thought about it. A girl who was not considerate to her own parents was just disgusting, no matter how well she dressed.
