Chapter 2028: She’s Just Jealous of You
Lian Bingmeng just had to show off her “true” goodness and beauty. She said that she treated Yue Shuangshuang as a friend, but in reality, she treated Yue Shuangshuang like a dog, rewarding Yue Shuangshuang with bones every once in a while.
Yue Shuangshuang spent a whole lifetime stuck in Lian Bingmeng’s shadow.
Other people didn’t even know Yue Shuangshuang’s name. When they saw her, they would say that she was a dog that clung to Lian Bingmeng’s leg for relief from her family’s poverty.
Lian Bingmeng caught the monster crystals, frowned, and said with a cold face, “I find you very strange. I just want to treat you as a friend and for you to quickly become stronger. Yet you actually react in this way. Is it really that embarrassing for you to accept my gifts? You’re super uptight.”
“Why do you talk to her so much? Some people will always compare themselves with others. She’s just jealous of your talent, of your summoned beast, of you.” Mu Ziqi said to Lian Bingmeng.
“If I met such a person, I would ignore them. The mud on the ground will always be mud on the ground. No matter what you do, she’ll always treat you coldly despite your good intentions. You two are walking different paths, going to different places. As such, why insist on making plans together?”
“Commoners just like to show off their pretend wealth.”
“It’s clear that she doesn’t have such confidence, but she insists on faking…”
…
All those outstanding men around Lian Bingmeng angrily spoke one after another.
Ning Shu’s expression was indifferent. Wasn’t it normal for people to be jealous and feel inferior?
But as long as Yue Shuangshuang was by Lian Bingmeng’s side, as soon as she did something that made Lian Bingmeng unhappy, she would be accused of not knowing what’s good for herself and having too much pride for a commoner.
You don’t want to be friends with Lian Bingmeng— hey, you don’t know what’s good for yourself…
You don’t take what she’s offering you– hey, how can you be so ungrateful…
She didn’t want to accept it.
She’d rather have Lian Bingmeng be aloof and remote and ignore her.
This friendship had a huge disparity in status between the two.
Lian Bingmeng also felt wronged. She wanted to be friends and was considerate to Yue Shuangshuang but this was the result.
It was seriously unfathomable!
“Do whatever you want, if you need something in the future you can come to find me.” Lian Bingmeng’s expression was indifferent. She turned around and left.
“Thank you.” Ning Shu thanked her.
It was clear that she had been too ungrateful, to the point Lian Bingmeng didn’t want to care about her anymore.
How stupid!
Ning Shu entered the classroom and sat next to Lian Bingmeng. Lian Bingmeng didn’t even glance at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu was happy and at ease. She took out a book to read from the bookshelf at the back of the classroom and occasionally glanced in her consciousness space. A green ball of light was rolling around and gradually growing.
Little Grass was still sleeping. It probably absorbed too much a while ago. After waking up, there should be a huge breakthrough.
Ning Shu just wished Little Grass could grow a brain. Its ability was already pretty good, after all, it killed a lot of monsters at Fallen Mountain.
Its twisting vines alone would be troublesome for pretty much everyone.
Lian Bingmeng next to her saw Ning Shu staring at the book in a daze and rapped her finger on the table. Ning Shu came back to her senses and looked at Lian Bingmeng in confusion.
“Yue Shuangshuang, are you hiding something from me? It’s not embarrassing to be weak but it is to do something like selling your soul and dignity.” Lian Bingmeng still doubted the origin of Ning Shu’s wisdom fruit.
Ning Shu slightly smiled, “It isn’t embarrassing to sell one’s soul and dignity, what’s embarrassing is if it wasn’t sold for a good price.”
“That’s twisted logic.” Lian Bingmeng stared at Ning Shu. “I treat you as my friend. I don’t want your soul or dignity. Yet you still think I’m harming you.”
