Using the corner of her eye, she saw a petite girl dressed in the Xilena First Affiliated School’s uniform, her arm linked with a tall youth of about six feet, also in a school uniform. She whispered to him, "That person is really interesting, those clothes are last year’s old style, and yet she still stares so intently..."
Interesting? If it’s interesting, then don’t speak in such a sarcastic tone.
Su Jiang grumbled to herself, and sensitively noticed an increasing number of gazes directed at her. She froze for a second, only then realizing who the girl was mocking!
Holy crap! She wanted to take back what she said earlier, the girl’s voice might be sweet, but her words were really too much!
If you’re gossiping about soone, at least don’t speak so loudly, for goodness’ sake, do you think others can’t hear?
Once again, Su Jiang longed for the feeling of online shopping. At least when shopping online, she wouldn’t have so busybody loudly calling her a country bumpkin!
Su Jiang also knew she couldn’t keep up with fashion trends and had no clue what this year’s new styles looked like, but do you really have to say it out loud? Already a bit angry, Su Jiang was even more annoyed after hearing the girl’s further comnts!
The young man responded cooperatively with a slight smile, though his voice was low, "She probably thinks this place is like the cheap ones she usually frequents, and mistakenly wandered in here. Once she pays, she’ll realize her blunder. She’s not worth your attention."
The girl’s voice remained loud, clear and lodious like pearls dropping onto a jade plate, having its own charm, making people dislike it...except for Su Jiang, "But wouldn’t it be better to let her know now, so she won’t be more embarrassed later? Or maybe she knows it’s last year’s leftovers and saved up money to buy it? Judging by her clothes, she doesn’t look like she can afford it, quite... pitiable."
The young man fondly tapped her nose and praised, "You’re kind-hearted, but she may not appreciate it."
Su Jiang: "..." Those two flirting and bantering as if no one else was there, did they ever consider how I feel? Pitiable, my foot!
The young man smiled gently but didn’t respond, though he actually agreed with her. Su Jiang’s face darkened significantly, and she turned to Guan Changxi, her voice neither loud nor soft, "Changxi, do you know what follows ’When a tree loses its bark, it surely dies’?"
Guan Changxi looked down at Su Jiang, his dark eyes flickering, and said, "This... I honestly don’t know."
"A person without sha is invincible in the world, don’t you think it’s symtrical?" Su Jiang added with a sweet smile, "In my view, when soone embodies shalessness, lack of upbringing, ignorance, blindness, brainlessness, spinelessness, and bad manners, they can summon a dragon and wish to be a lunatic in their next life, dedicated to indulging such won..."
The girl and the youth’s expressions changed dramatically. Su Jiang couldn’t be bothered to face them directly and spoke to the sales assistant next to her, "Take sowhere else to look, of course... Anything she’s seen, don’t bother showing , I can’t bear her taste..."
Su Jiang didn’t even turn her face, rely pointing with her finger, her expression and attitude oozing contempt.
To Su Jiang, if others wanted to mock or disparage her, as long as she didn’t hear it, she could pretend it didn’t happen.
But if she discovered it, don’t bla her for losing her temper. Want to provoke? Go ahead, who is she afraid of? These two, one’s crazy, and the other’s pretending to be crazy right along, just two nutcases pointing fingers at people... Ruining the mood, damaging feelings.
In an instant, an invisible heaviness spread between them; the girl’s gaze was laced with resentnt and dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately, Su Jiang already followed the sales assistant to another section, and the girl never got a clear look at Su Jiang’s face, only rembering her condescending tone and disdainful finger.
At the mont, aside from her hatred, the girl felt a bit aggrieved. She didn’t say anything wrong, just speaking the truth that the other was a country bumpkin from the countryside, unable to afford the good stuff here; every word was factual, where was she wrong?
Why did the other person treat her this way? Lightly biting her lip, the youth quietly consoled her, "Don’t bother with soone so uncouth. If you don’t like it, I’ll take care of her for you."
The girl shook her head, her eyes shimring brilliantly, "Forget it, like you said, she’s just a vulgar woman; arguing with soone so ignorant is beneath us..."
