Chapter 1095: Feng Tian (1)
After all, compared to her cousin Yang Men, Jiaojiao was the good friend she had known for three years, which obviously weighed more in her heart.
Yang Men had followed her parents to Changling when she was three or four years old and had lived there for more than a decade. It was said that city water nurtures people, and this was true, for Yang Men was quite pretty. She dressed fashionably, her skin was a bit fairer than others, and at school she was always the center of attention.
She thought it would be the same after transferring here, but, to her surprise, despite her careful grooming, she was overshadowed by Ruan Jiaojiao on the very first day of reporting.
No one else knew Ruan Jiaojiao; they all thought she was Xiu Xi’s sister. But she had already heard about Ruan Jiaojiao from Yang Tao, knowing she was the young, pretty, and academically talented little genius.
During these few days since her return, she had been staying at Yang Tao’s house, having heard about Ruan Jiaojiao multiple times. Each time, she felt uncomfortable, perceiving it as an intentional comparison with her.
So when she saw Ruan Jiaojiao dressed more fashionably than herself and fairly passable in looks, being picked up from the car by that exceedingly handsome boy, the slight discomfort she already had toward Ruan Jiaojiao turned directly into hostility.
She uttered those words intentionally, yet she hadn’t expected to be cornered by several boys in such a manner, especially since she was a girl. She used to be adored by the boys at school; no one ever treated her like that.
Being treated in this way for the first time, she was momentarily in disbelief of her own ears, and her expression turned ugly.
But Ruan Lei was unwilling to let her go, sarcastically asking, "Miss Yang, say something. Doesn’t everyone in Changling have loads of money? You shouldn’t be short on cash, right?"
Over at Beidu, a Luck Stone was fifty cents, while in Changling, it was a bit more expensive, one yuan each, which Yang Men had seen at the market.
