281 My Duty
Shan Yue quickly said in a conciliatory tone, “Actually, everyone’s luggage was carried up by themselves. It’s been hard on everyone, so let’s not fuss over such a small matter. Now that the four of us in our dormitory are here, everyone will help each other in the future. We will definitely have a happy university life.”
However, Tang Hui, who was at the side, did not appreciate it. She was already used to living a pampered life in the Tang family. She could not stand this grievance when she came to school. “Who are you? You make it sound so nice that everyone helps each other. Others might not be able to tell, but I can tell what you mean. In fact, you’re criticizing me. You’re not the person involved. What right do you have to say anything here?”
“I’m also from this dormitory. My name is Shan Yue. You misunderstand me.”
After all, Tang Hui was a member of the Tang family. She naturally knew about the relationship between the Tang Corporation and the Shan Corporation. However, as a junior, Tang Hui did not know the entire process. She only knew that her aunt hated this Shan Yue at home.
When Tang Hui found out that Shan Yue was in the same university as her, she wanted to get to know her and find an opportunity to avenge her aunt.
As soon as she finished speaking, the anger in Tang Zhihui’s eyes clearly dissipated instantly, replaced by a trace of disdain and mockery. “So you’re Shan Yue. I thought you were some kind of person. You’re just a busybody.”
Before Shan Yue could retort, Tang Hui quickly turned around and took out two sets of cosmetics from her bag. “Come, Lin Miao and Yu Xin, it was indeed my fault just now. I was too angry. I should have carried my own luggage myself. I shouldn’t have blamed this on you. This set of cosmetics costs a few thousand yuan. Take it as a gift to apologize to you.”
Tang Hui’s sudden change in attitude made the two of them look at each other in confusion. They thought to themselves, Could this be the legendary change in attitude faster than flipping a book?
Seeing that the two of them did not react, Tang Hui stuffed the two sets of cosmetics into their hands without another word.
Lin Miao, who had always been broad-minded and carefree, naturally did not take this seriously. It was inevitable that there would be small friction between classmates. She was born into an ordinary family in Federal City, so she naturally would not use a set of cosmetics that cost a few thousand yuan. Therefore, she readily forgave Tang Hui and accepted her gift. She even thought that she was a very generous person.
Yu Xin, who had grown up in the Yu family, knew very well that there must be a reason why Tang Hui had suddenly become like this from her anger just now. Moreover, Yu Xin’s family did not lack expensive cosmetics, so she did not accept Tang Hui’s gift immediately.
After Tang Hui thought that she had bribed the two of them with gifts, she created a harmonious atmosphere. Her words were filled with provocation. “I’m really sorry, Shan Yue. I originally came to school with three sets of cosmetics to give to my three roommates. However, it just so happened that I had used up all my own, so I took out a set for myself. Then, the gifts I gave you naturally disappeared. I don’t think you’ll blame me.”
At this point, Yu Xin, who was in the room, knew the current situation very well. Because of the lawsuit between the two families, Tang Hui naturally bore a grudge against Shan Yue. As soon as they met, she clearly put on a hostile attitude.
Even Yu Xin could figure out what was going on. Shan Yue had expected this from the moment she saw Tang Hui’s name. However, she did not flare up. Compared to Tang Li, the person in front of her was not worth mentioning.
“In that case, I don’t want it.” Yu Xin’s attitude was very firm. It was mainly because of her father’s instructions to her that she placed the cosmetics on Tang Hui’s table. “Since Shan Yue doesn’t have it, we won’t look good either. I brought my own cosmetics. Thank you for your kindness.”
“Then I…” When Lin Miao saw the scene in front of her, although she couldn’t bear to part with the gift in her hand, she was prepared to put it back on the table.
