“Luo Xi, are you also leaving? I was hoping to show you around since it’s your first visit,” Ji Yun said, sounding disappointed.
Luo Xi forced a smile. “I’ll definitely take the chance next time, but Jiang Yanyan and I are classmates, and with midterms approaching, I really can’t afford to have fun right now.”
“I didn’t expect you to work so hard. Your studies must be great, right?” Ji Yun asked curiously.
Someone couldn’t help but sneer, “How good can the grades of the last in the class be?”
Everyone turned to see that it was Lin Xuan who spoke.
Although they had already sensed the tension between her and Luo Xi, they hadn’t expected her to say such a thing on the spot.
There were gasps as people looked at Luo Xi.
The fact that the last-in-class student was the young madam of the Leng family was too embarrassing.
Moreover, using this as an excuse to leave showed she didn’t care about giving face to the Young Madam of the Zhou family.
Lin Xuan saw how her words put Luo Xi in the spotlight. After a night of frustration, she felt a surge of satisfaction.
She had originally thought that being Feng Lingye’s fiancée would earn her some status, but Ji Yun hadn’t spoken to her at all, which infuriated her.
Meanwhile, Luo Xi received special treatment. Her own status wasn’t inferior, so she couldn’t understand why her status didn’t grant her similar treatment. This was so unfair!
So, when Ji Yun asked about Luo Xi’s academic performance, Lin Xuan didn’t think twice before responding.
Sure enough, the scene played out just as she had imagined.
The young madam of the Leng family was last in her class! This would surely spread through high society by tomorrow!
Hmph, let’s see how she holds her ground among these wealthy women after that.
The more she thought about it, the more thrilled she felt. Lin Xuan’s expression towards Luo Xi was full of schadenfreude.
Leng Me’er couldn’t bear it any longer. Lin Xuan was clearly trying to drag the Leng family’s reputation down!
What benefit did she gain from saying this in front of outsiders?
She cursed inwardly but explained for Luo Xi loudly, “That’s not true at all. I’m in the same class as my sister-in-law, and she even got third place in the last exam!”
“Right, I can testify for that,” Jiang Yanyan quickly added.
This revelation was definitely not a good sign for Luo Xi.
Who was this woman, and why was she suddenly targeting Luo Xi?
Since Lin Xuan had been abroad and just returned, Jiang Yanyan didn’t recognize her.
But she could sense that this woman held great hostility towards Luo Xi.
Hearing this, the people around began to doubt Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan hadn’t expected their defense of Luo Xi and immediately became furious. “You’re lying! A quick check will show she’s last in her class. Don’t think I don’t know!”
Luo Xi was speechless.
“Don’t believe me? Go back and ask the teacher for the scores. Besides, what business is it of yours, an outsider?” she replied disdainfully.
“You!”
Lin Xuan’s face quickly flushed with anger.
The people around couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. Most didn’t recognize Lin Xuan, which meant her identity wasn’t particularly special. One person snorted, “Who is this person? She’s acting so strangely. She suddenly interrupted when Young Madam Zhou was asking about Young Madam Leng. How rude!”
“Right? I bet she’s from some small family that snuck in again. I’ve never seen her before.”
“How dare she challenge the Young Madam of the Leng family? Does she want to ruin herself?”
“Who knows…”
