Right after, a loud crying voice echoed.
"I’m hanging up, bye-bye."
"No, no, no... I... Xue, I’m begging you, I’m really having a hard time right now. I went to YJHT, but it already has new tenants. Where are you? I... I want to see you."
A fierce rise and fall in her chest, Lin Muxue remained silent for a while, then in a low voice said: "Where are you?"
"I... I’m at... the bus stop at the South Gate of YJHT, the one on the north side of the road, and my phone doesn’t have much battery left."
Lin Muxue lifted her wrist to check the time and said softly, "Wait for me at the station entrance in 15 minutes."
"Oh, okay, I’ll be here waiting for you, you must come, I... I’m sorry."
"Hung up." Lin Muxue said, then hung up the phone and turned around to return to the dining table.
Looking at the beautician who was taking pictures, she apologized a little, "Qianqian, I have a friend coming to Yan City from out of town, I must go pick her up, can you take a cab back later by yourself?"
Zhao Yaqian quickly raised her head, "It’s okay, Xue, don’t worry about me, go ahead. Oh, by the way, I ate the rest of your caviar, hehe."
"Uh-huh, have it, bye-bye dear."
"Bye-bye, take care on the road."
Lin Muxue lowered her head slightly, kissed the beautician’s fair cheek, picked up her bag, and walked out.
Soon, a silver-gray Porsche merged onto the main road and headed toward the long-distance bus station.
Sitting in the car, her lips tightly pressed together, she sighed deeply.
Xu Ning, a person who had disappeared from her life for nearly a year, reappeared again.
Though she was a fake socialite, she once had very good friends.
Xu Ning was one of her former best friends.
They met during a modeling job interview.
At that time, Lin Muxue had left her makeup in her dorm because she came in a rush.
The sweat made her makeup a bit disheveled, which made her anxious.
Xu Ning, who was sitting beside her, offered help and even touched up her makeup.
Later, both of them successfully passed the interview, securing a precious job opportunity.
However, that brand event turned into a nightmare for her when the organizer’s daughter exposed her wearing a full set of counterfeit goods in public.
Although she didn’t use foul language, the contempt in her eyes could still be vividly remembered to this day.
It was Xu Ning who comforted her at that time.
Because of this, their relationship quickly warmed, and they became true best friends.
After graduating from college, Lin Muxue immediately roomed with Xu Ning.
Under her influence, Lin Muxue gradually became a so-called "fake socialite."
She created a persona to run an influencer account, while Xu Ning mainly did live streams.
Later, they moved together into the YJHT Community.
Originally, both of them lived very happily, having barbecues with beer, and enjoying cake with coffee.
But then Xu Ning had a "Number One Fan," who was also a "rich and handsome" guy, and they met very soon.
However, this "rich and handsome" guy’s family was rather strict, not approving of him being with a freelance model and live-streamer.
His financial support was quickly cut off.
Xu Ning foolishly supported this "rich and handsome" guy, waiting for his parents to be moved by her sincerity.
Later, she even brought him to the house in YJHT.
After a few encounters, Lin Muxue discovered this rich and handsome guy was definitely a scammer, and also a PUA expert, who even had intentions towards her.
Lin Muxue had tried to persuade her many times.
But Xu Ning was deeply involved, and having invested so much, she refused to see the truth.
She even borrowed money from her to support the guy.
The two had several big arguments over this, with the most serious one ending in a physical fight.
Hair pulling, slapping, that kind of thing.
After that, both of them mutually blocked and deleted each other, and Xu Ning moved out of YJHT, leaving for another place with that "rich and handsome" guy.
Now it seems, she’s probably been left with nothing.
After all, the two were once great sisters, best friends.
Lin Muxue truly couldn’t bear to turn a blind eye.
The familiar scenery came into view, and the car gradually slowed down.
Soon, a familiar figure appeared in sight.
Wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers, standing at a corner of the bus stop, with hair unkempt, looking ragged.
Holding two suitcases, one of which was the one she had given to her previously.
The Porsche slowly stopped by the station.
Xu Ning, with her head down, instinctively took a step back.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Muxue pushed open the car door and got out.
Walking at a measured pace, she rounded the front of the car and stood before her.
Seeing Xue step out of the Porsche, Xu Ning was stunned, and it took her a long while to dare to confirm.
Compared to the past Xue, her change was really big.
Not just because of her fashion and the luxury car; after all, Xue had always liked renting luxury cars and saving to buy luxury items.
The biggest changes were in her demeanor and gaze.
Now she was mature, confident, fashionable, and dazzling, like those elegant women executives who drink coffee in office buildings and talk business.
Lin Muxue pushed her forcefully and said through gritted teeth, "I told you long ago, you’re such an idiot! You’re in this situation purely because you deserve it!
