Chapter 650: Crazy Fire Arch
Suizi felt sick to her stomach listening to these people talk about her mother in such a weird and sarcastic tone.
They were begging for favors, yet they acted as if doing so was a chore, as if it was an obligation for Chen Lijun to help, and a heinous crime not to.
Yu Jingting, picking up Suizi’s distress signal, immediately blended into the gossiping crowd.
"I remember holding Lijun in my arms when she was a child, and so many years have passed since then."
"Yes, she has held me too," Yu Jingting joined in.
"Now that she’s successful and well off, I wonder if she can still remember ordinary folks like us."
All this strange and sarcastic banter was full of hidden traps, baiting others into saying bad things about Chen Lijun. It allowed them to keep themselves clean, while enjoying the juicy gossip.
If they came across someone without much social experience, that person could easily be led into this narrative, thereby becoming cannon fodder for others.
Still, all the people in the room were shrewd foxes. No one was willing to step on this landmine. Even if they harbored extreme dislike towards Chen Lijun, no one was brave enough to be the first to openly criticize her.
"She has indeed become haughty, hasn’t she? She passes by my house but doesn’t come in. She used to hold me back in the days, but now she doesn’t even give me a second glance."
The one starting the trend was Yu Jingting. Everybody was delighted to see the fool who finally found the courage to speak out, then they noticed it was a young man with an unfamiliar face.
