Chapter 396 - 291 Malicious Idea
At this moment, Ye Luoqi found it inconvenient to interject in their quarreling; her face flushed with a displeasing red, drawing even more attention from the onlookers, some of whom observed her complexion, while others laughed and gossiped.
The lion dance competition for the red envelope on the stage, intense as it was, still couldn’t garner as much attention as the dispute between the girls and boys, which was like watching a riveting drama.
It all started with a verbal spat between Big Pancake Face and Ye Jiaxing, soon joined by their sisters.
It was all because of that one thing Ye Jiaxing had said earlier, insulting them all, those who thought themselves noble and beautiful, by calling them ugly – and to have that thrown at them in public, in front of the people they despised.
How could such anger dissipate so quickly? The five girls retorted at Ye Jiaxing, incessantly criticizing him, calling him a poor boy, a sycophant trying to curry favor with the daughter of a nouveau riche, an unrealistic dreamer aspiring for the unattainable.
Ye Jiaxing’s face twisted with rage; he knew he was not worthy of Ye Luoqi, but was it wrong to love someone?
Was it wrong to harbor a silent affection for someone?
Was it wrong to want to protect someone he liked?
