Chapter 654: Young Miss Gu
Jiang Xue raised her chin, regaining her lofty demeanor. With a playful tone, she quipped, "Oh, listen to what you’re saying, Jiao. So, without me around, you all can’t have any fun?"
Fang Jiao affectionately tugged at Jiang Xue’s arm and said, "Of course! You’re the backbone of our little group. Without you, what would we do? Besides, everyone is eagerly looking forward to seeing you, the big star!"
Jiang Xue chuckled proudly. She knew her worth among these people. Without exception, they all sought something beneficial from her, either the resources of the Gu family or the influence she carried.
"Alright, stop pulling me. People who don’t know better might think we’re a couple," Jiang Xue said irritably.
"What’s wrong with that? As long as it’s you, I’m happy to play along. Come here," Fang Jiao said, attempting to cozy up.
Jiang Xue shook her head and pushed away the clingy Fang Jiao, accidentally shoving her into the path of Zhao Yuan who was passing by.
Zhao Yuan had been looking for a private room, but had lost her way and ended up here, only to be jostled by Fang Jiao.
Firming her stance, Fang Jiao eyed the person she had collided with and mocked, "Decked out in last year’s cheap brand, there’s no wonder you can only make it to a private room at the ’Mortal Realm’ floor."
