Hearing Xiao Xun’s voice only fueled Bai Yaya’s anger. She even suspected that Xiao Xun might have been bribed by Luo Xi to deceive her and bring her here to witness this shocking scene.
In her frustration, she abruptly swatted Xiao Xun’s hand away, taking her anger out on her.
Xiao Xun was startled by the action. She knew that Bai Yaya didn’t genuinely care for her. It was merely a matter of using her to get closer to the young master. However, this was the first time she felt so humiliated.
Biting her lip, she was confused about what had happened, but the strange looks from those around her made her feel embarrassed and resentful toward Bai Yaya.
Luo Xi watched the sudden fallout between the two former friends with interest. It seemed that she had overestimated their bond.
“Xixi!” Just as she was pondering, she heard a familiar voice calling her.
Looking up, she saw Hua Feifei and Jiang Yanyan. Both had received the address from Luo Xi, so they agreed to wait for her at the entrance. They hadn’t stood there long before spotting her.
They ran over, with Hua Feifei jokingly saying, “You, the homebody, actually took the initiative to ask us out for shopping. What’s up? Did the sun rise from the west?”
Luo Xi smiled and replied, “Just happened to have someone invite me. I was bored at home anyway, so I thought why not come out for a walk.”
Hearing this, Hua Feifei asked curiously, “Who is it? How come I didn’t know you had any friends besides me and Yaoyao. Do you have a lover outside?”
“Bah!” Luo Xi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at that. A mistress, maybe!
She glanced at Bai Yaya, who had walked into the shopping mall and was now impatiently looking their way, and said, “Let’s go, the young lady might get angry soon.”
Xiao Xun stood by and couldn’t say a word. The two girls were dressed quite ordinarily, but their aura and looks clearly indicated they weren’t just ordinary young ladies. They also carried the youthful energy of students, something she could never match.
Now standing next to them, her own outfit felt out of place. It even made her feel rather vulgar.
She bit her lip. Sure enough, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t compare to these girls who had grown up in a sheltered environment.
What made her feel worse was that Bai Yaya actually abandoned her and walked off on her own. What was she supposed to do?
In Luo Xi’s eyes, she was merely a lowly servant and was unqualified to stand with them.
She could already picture herself being left behind, dazed and forgotten.
Just as she felt anxious, Luo Xi suddenly spoke, somewhat puzzled: “Xiao Xun, why are you dazing off? Let’s go.”
Xiao Xun looked up in shock at Luo Xi, her face filled with disbelief.
Was she calling her?
There was no hint of disdain in her tone and no malicious smile on her face, just a hint of doubt. She didn’t seem to hold Xiao Xun’s earlier actions with Bai Yaya against her.
Perhaps it was all an act, but it provided her an escape.
Realizing this, Xiao Xun looked at Luo Xi with complicated feelings. She nodded and followed along.
“She’s Xiao Xun.” Luo Xi introduced her to Hua Feifei and Jiang Yanyan.
“Xiao Xun, these are my friends, Hua Feifei and Jiang Yanyan.”
Luo Xi didn’t particularly like Xiao Xun, but she was a thorn, a thorn inserted by Bai Yaya. Since she couldn’t get rid of her, she might as well make her submit to her.
