Chapter 216: Becoming a Townsperson
freēwēbnovel.com "Your uncle and auntie live in luxury in the Imperial Capital, how could they ignore you?" Lu Youbang said with apparent indignation. "I’m not capable enough. Even though we both attend Jing University, I’m not as clever as Lu Youxi who can make money. I can only study diligently, yet when I ask the family for tuition, I’m mocked by my classmates. They say that as siblings, Lu Youxi can earn her own tuition, but I have to ask the family for money."
"How can they say that!" Ge Guifen immediately became upset. "Don’t they also rely on their families to pay for their education? Everyone does it. What right do they have to laugh at you?"
"Youbang, tell me honestly, how are you doing at school? Are you being ostracized by them?" Ge Guifen asked with concern.
As a mother, she had an inexplicable premonition about whether her child was doing well or not.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Youbang hesitated for a moment before admitting hesitantly, "Mm, Lu Youxi deliberately brought you to the school last time to create a scene. Now everyone at school mocks me, saying I have a bad character, no ability, and just know how to leech off the family."
"This is such a serious accusation! Why would they say that!" Ge Guifen’s eyes immediately reddened. "Don’t they also spend their family’s money on school? Why do they spend it but look down on you? Don’t they think about how they’ve lived in the city since they were young? They have no idea about your struggles."
"My son studies so hard. It wasn’t easy for him to get into Jing University!" Ge Guifen said tearfully. "Why would they say such things!"
"It’s all Lu Youxi’s fault, deliberately ruining your reputation at school, making your life there so difficult." Ge Guifen cried. "I’m useless. I can’t help you. Your father has also been thrown into prison by Lu Youxi, leaving us mother and son to continue suffering her bullying!"
