Chapter 1008 Gathering 5
"There are lots of desserts here, take your time tasting them, Miss Shen!" After dropping those two lines, Luo Jingjing turned and walked toward the other young ladies. She had just heard Cheng Xining say that Shen Mianmian was very scheming and all that, so she wanted to come and humiliate a scheming girl like Shen Mianmian, but after interacting with her, she noticed that Shen Mianmian seemed to completely misunderstand her mocking tone; moreover, she and Cheng Xining seemed to be on bad terms.
But then again, it made sense. Before, Cheng Xining had always been very close to the He Family, and everyone assumed there was something between Cheng Xining and He Nan. Now all of a sudden, Shen Mianmian appears, and she doesn’t get along with them. Just a simple thought, and one can figure out what’s probably going on.
Regardless of whether Shen Mianmian is involved with He Nan or not, such a beautiful girl by He Nan’s side, Cheng Xining definitely feels threatened and naturally wouldn’t like Shen Mianmian.
In such circumstances, Cheng Xining’s evaluation of Shen Mianmian really isn’t trustworthy.
She wasn’t interested in being used by others, and she even looked down upon Cheng Xining’s behavior.
Once Luo Jingjing had left, the other girls followed her to one side, all except Cheng Xining who remained. She looked at Shen Mianmian with disdain and sneered, "Shen Mianmian, do you think just by coming here you can blend in, become noble, and be the same as us? Let me tell you! We are all born with a silver spoon in our mouths, exposed to higher education from birth—such nobility is inherent. You’ll never compare in your lifetime."
She glanced at the dessert in Shen Mianmian’s hand and added, "Only someone like you would covet such things. Look around, who else isn’t holding a wine glass, so elegant and grand? A bumpkin is a bumpkin, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, even if you put on an emperor’s robe, you can’t become the emperor."
