Chapter 12 How Many are Simply Beautiful
Gu Qili didn't heed Mickey's words and didn't get off midway; she went straight to the university. Many students who hadn't returned to the dormitory got off with her, most were seniors about to graduate, many had started internships so the school naturally had less control over them.

"Used to the rich life, naturally she can't live like us ordinary folks, so it's normal for her to resort to selling herself."
