“Cui Si, you won’t refuse, right?”

Cui Si knew that no matter what, she wouldn’t be able to escape this time, so she could only bite the bullet and agree.

Her ex-classmates were children of rich and powerful people. Now that they had grown up, they had probably become even more outrageous. Anyone not deemed to be at the same level as they would be targeted.

Wang Xiaotian was one of the outrageous ones. She had a crush on a boy for three years in high school. But in the end, the boy confessed to Cui Si instead. Because of this, Wang Xiaotian had always hated Cui Si. Since they graduated and split up, it hadn’t been easy for her to exact her revenge. Now that an opportunity had come up, how could Wang Xiaotian give it up so easily?

…

It was early in the morning as Cui Si sat on the sofa while reading a real estate guide. Since she had decided to buy a house for her parents, she had to choose one carefully.

[Ding dong! Detected that the host is reading a real estate guide. Reward: A fully furnished apartment in Tianxi.]

When Cui Si heard ‘Tianxi’, she was so scared that she almost fell off the sofa. Tianxi was an extremely luxurious residential area in Shanghai.

Apparently, more than 100,000 yuan was spent to plant each tree there alone. With such landscaping costs, one could only imagine how expensive a piece of property there would be.

Cui Si arrived at the private room Wang Xiaotian had told her in the evening on time.

When she arrived. those present were stunned for a moment. But they ignored her just as quickly and continued their conversations. Only a boy stood up and greeted Cui Si. It was the person who had rejected Wang Xiaotian back then.

The boy’s behavior only angered Wang Xiaotian even further. She was sitting in the middle of the crowd and had a good view of everyone.

Although she was with Jiang De now, she still had grudges over the things that happened in the past. Now that she had become beautiful and rich, why didn’t the boy pay her any attention? Why were his eyes still looking for and following Cui Si?

After three rounds of wine and five different dishes, Wang Xiaotian stood up with a glass of wine in her hand and stared at Cui Si.

“Cui Si, did you buy that house yesterday?”

When everyone heard this, they looked at Cui Si curiously. How could she afford to buy a house in Shanghai when she is still so poor?

The look on the others’ faces finally gave Wang Xiaotian some satisfaction.

She was going to humiliate Cui Si in front of their ex-classmates.

“Cui Si, although that house is a little expensive, it is indeed worth it. It is only around ten million yuan. Don’t hesitate to buy it if you like it.”

Wang Xiaotian was clearly provoking Cui Si to respond.

The rest of the crowd looked enviously at Wang Xiaotian. Not everyone could afford a property worth more than ten million yuan.

Everyone also knew about the grudges between the two women. Now that Wang Xiaotian was so powerful, they had to suck up to her.

“Xiaotian, do you think Cui Si can afford it?”

“Well, if Cui Si can afford it, then we can too!”

Everyone burst into laughter. They knew that Cui Si had been fired a while ago, and her ex-boyfriend had run away with a rich woman. Forget buying a house. She probably couldn’t even afford to pay rent.

The crowd’s reaction only added to Wang Xiaotian’s arrogance. “You won’t believe this, guys, but Cui Si threw her card at the salesman yesterday, but he refused to accept it.”

Wang Xiaotian’s words made the crowd burst out in another round of laughter.

Cui Si started to get a little angry. She had intended to catch up with her former classmates but she ended up getting ridiculed.

“Wang Xiaotian, why are you doing this? Have I offended you in any way?”

Wang Xiaotian immediately put on a frightened look, and the boys immediately stood up for her.

“Cui Si, why are you scaring Xiaotian?”

“That’s right. You can’t even control your own man. If you want to bully Xiaotian, we won’t just sit back and let you.”

Everyone wanted to be a hero to Wang Xiaotian as they scolded Cui Si. They even brought up her hurtful past.

A hint of pride flashed in Wang Xiaotian’s eyes. She lowered her head and pretended to wipe away her tears.

“Cui Si, Don’t be angry. I’m just concerned about you. If you’re short of money, I still have some savings that I can lend you.”

When the boys heard Wang Xiaotian’s words, they became even more furious.

Wang Xiaotian was such a good person and yet Cui Si still wanted to bully her. This was simply intolerable.

Cui Si helplessly watched Wang Xiaotian’s performance. She didn’t know what the current situation would have looked like if her classmates knew that she had the backing of an ugly man.

Suddenly, there came a knock on the private room door.

A middle-aged man walked in. His decent suit and dignified face gave him an air of gentlemanly elegance.

“Excuse me, I’m Song Chenghui. May I ask, which one of you is Ms. Cui Si?”

One of the male classmates seemed to have recognized the man.. “Are you Manager Song from Tianxi Properties?”
