Chapter 28: Chapter 28: No Friends at All Chapter 28: Chapter 28: No Friends at All Lin Chuyi finally turned to the person who had been silent, “Is that so, Meng Li? Is that what you told her?”
Filled with resentment, Meng Li replied, “It’s because of you that I was isolated by others! Your dad is a murderer, yet you didn’t tell me. I felt sorry for you because you had no friends, so I took the initiative to befriend you. But in the end, you ruined me! You’re a liar!”
“Did you take the initiative to make friends with me, perhaps because you’re an illegitimate child, and don’t know who your father is, and nobody else wanted to befriend you?”
Lin Chuyi sneered coldly, “Besides, the very first day you came to me to make friends, I told you that my dad was in prison for murder. Are you saying I lied to you now?”
“When did you ever say that? You never told me! And you even said how good your dad was, that he was no murderer!”
Lin Chuyi nodded, “Indeed, I’ve said my dad is quite good, and even up to today, I don’t believe he killed anyone, and my dad never admitted to it. However, the fact that he is a murderer has spread all over the school, and when you say you didn’t know, it’s just self-deception.”
She turned her head to Wen Nianyou, “Why did you bring Meng Li to see me again? Do you think that seeing her would make me sad?”
“Ah? Sad? Isn’t she your best friend? I thought you’d be happy to see her!”
Wen Nianyou wore an innocent expression, “She’s all you’ve got for a friend, right? I brought her here for your sake, why aren’t you grateful?”
“She’s no longer my friend. From the day she betrayed me to ingratiate herself with you, we were no longer friends.”
“Oh my, then don’t you have no friends at all now? How pitiful!”
Wen Nianyou turned and asked Meng Li, “What kind of person has no friends at all, would you say?”
Meng Li glanced at Lin Chuyi’s alarmingly beautiful face and said spitefully, “Obviously, only someone with a really bad character and a very dark heart would have no friends at all!”
Lin Chuyi had heard worse things before, and whilst they made her sad and cry when she was younger, now they couldn’t hurt her anymore.
Now that Sheng Tingyuan wouldn’t believe her no matter how she explained, it was a good opportunity to use Wen Nianyou to do the explaining.
“You two are just jealous because I can marry into one of the Wealthy Families, aren’t you? Too bad, the heir to Shengshi Group took a fancy to me and not you. What if I have no friends? I can still become the Madam of a Wealthy Family, and in the future, surely many people will want to be my friends.”
Lin Chuyi dropped these words, not too harshly nor softly, and walked past them into the office building.
Unable to enter, Wen Nianyou stomped her feet in anger at the back, “Meng Li, did you hear her? See how arrogant she is! She hasn’t even married into the Sheng Family yet, but she’s already so arrogant. Once she gets married, won’t she just trample us underfoot and mock us mercilessly?”
But Meng Li furrowed her brows, “Lin Chuyi didn’t used to be so arrogant. How has she changed?”
“She had no reason to be arrogant before! If you could marry the heir to Shengshi Group and become the young Madam of the Sheng Family, you would be even more arrogant than her! This is just her true nature showing. The way she used to treat you well was all an act, and you were foolishly her friend, not even realizing that she had sold you out!”
Meng Li’s face was a changing mix of emotions, “So what do we do now? Didn’t you say they were about to register their marriage?”
“Haven’t they not registered yet? Humph, if I let Lin Chuyi marry into the Sheng Family, then my name isn’t Wen!”
Wen Nianyou got into her car and said, “Let’s go, we’ll find Sheng Tingyuan right now and expose Lin Chuyi’s true face! I don’t believe Sheng Tingyuan would still want to marry her after he learns her dad is a murderer!”
