The two exchanged a smile.
Lin Qiao immediately reverted to her true self, chattering away to Gu Nuan Nuan. "Nuannuan, you have no idea. That stuff I said earlier—about how lots of people have their families pick them up just so they won't be looked down on? That wasn't really what I think. It's just what a bunch of kids in our class say behind people's backs."
She sighed. "Sometimes I think the people who say that are just being sour grapes, but other times, I feel like they have a point. It's just... I can't stand them. They only dare to say that stuff in private. The moment they meet someone from a richer family, they're all over them faster than anyone. But when they meet someone like me, who isn't as well-off, they just try to step all over you. Ugh, they're so materialistic. I bet if they'd known you're the young lady of the Zhang Group, there wouldn't have been any room for me by your side."
