After the summer vacation, Fang Tong was already a third-year student. When she arrived at school, she went to the academic affairs office to pick up the textbooks for the new semester. On the way back, many classmates who knew her learned about Fang Corporation’s bankruptcy from the news and whispered behind her back.

“Isn’t this the second daughter of the Fang Family? I heard that her family went bankrupt and owed a lot of debt!”

“Yeah, I saw the news too. Many people bought their stocks and lost everything. I really don’t know how she still has the nerve to come back to school!”

“Yeah, right? How do they sleep at night knowing that they have lost others’ hard-earned money?”

“Look at the dress she’s wearing. It’s this season’s haute couture! Just the dress alone costs over a hundred thousand yuan!”

“Tsk! She’s already a deadbeat daughter, yet she’s pretending to be rich!”

Fang Tong’s roommate, who had come with her to collect their books, got upset when she heard these comments. She glared at the gossipers in exasperation and said, “Did you guys eat sh*t with your mouths? Why are you all talking sh*t! ”

“What does other’s wealth have anything to do with you? It’s not like she’s spending your money. Sour grapes much? If you have the ability, you can also go buy couture! All of you are too free!”

Seeing that Fang Tong’s roommate was not to be trifled with, the gossipers didn’t dare to say more and left in a hurry.

“Who are these people? Tong, don’t bother with them. They’re just bored and asked to be scolded!”

“It’s alright,” Fang Tong comforted her roommate. “I already expected this before school started, that people will be gossiping behind my back. I’ll just ignore them.”

“Okay!” Her roommate nodded, but her gaze could not help but fall on Fang Tong’s beautiful dress as she added, “Tong, are the clothes on you really that expensive?”

Fang Tong lowered her head to look. These clothes were all prepared for her by Bai Ping. She left in a hurry this morning and randomly picked this dress.

However, judging from the tailoring and texture, the dress wasn’t cheap.

“Tong, you wouldn’t sell your body to pay off…”

Her roommate looked at Fang Tong eagerly. In her mind, she had already started to imagine the female leads in those novels she had read; where after the female lead was in trouble, she would be taken to luxurious places and sell her body to pay off her debts, before falling into a world of debauchery…

“What nonsense are you thinking?”

Fang Tong flicked at her roommate’s forehead to stop her from thinking wild thoughts. “This dress was bought by my mother-in-law.”

“Mother-in-law?” Her roommate’s eyes widened. “When did you get married?”

“Um… The two families had an agreement before. After what happened to my family, my mother-in-law felt that it was not easy for a young lady like me. So, she advised that we should get married first and hold the wedding later.”

It wasn’t easy to explain the matter between Fang Tong and Gu Nancheng in just a few words. She was also worried that if Gu Nancheng woke up in future and did not admit to the marriage, she would not be able to explain it. So, she might as well gloss over it.

If she and Gu Nancheng got divorced later, she would just say that it was due to irreconcilable differences. It was no big deal to be divorced nowadays.

“Wow! Isn’t this the legend of a childhood sweetheart who fell from the sky and saved the princess in distress? It’s just like a novel coming to life. The author had better not be deceiving me!”

Her roommate’s small eyes glittered as she continued fantasizing. Fang Tong shook her head helplessly and said, “Alright, let’s hurry up and bring the books back! It’s so tiring to carry them around!”

“Okay, okay. Let’s have a good lunch today to celebrate your marriage!”
