295 Difficult Situation
Xu Lu, who had been watching from the sidelines, was immediately attracted by Tang Hui’s words. Driven by her intense curiosity, she wanted to ask Shan Yue if it was true that she had stolen something.
In the end, before she could ask, a sentence completely confirmed the authenticity of the matter.
Lin Miao thought that she was speaking up for Shan Yue, so she said firmly, “Tang Hui, stop talking. I didn’t blame Shan Yue at all for what happened yesterday. Didn’t I find the cosmetics in her cabinet? In the end, I still caught up with that event. It didn’t waste my time.”
“Lin Miao, if you don’t know how to speak, say less. No one will treat you as a mute.” Yu Xin covered her head with one hand and sighed helplessly. “If you speak like this, won’t it confirm that Shan Yue stole your things? She clearly didn’t do anything!”
Hearing this, Xu Lu could not help but look surprised. Originally, she only hated Shan Yue because she was too close to Lin Xiao. There was no other special reason. Today, she realized that Shan Yue was not welcome in the dormitory and even stole her roommate’s things. It really broadened her horizons.
“So Shan Yue, you’re such a person. I finally know why your roommate hates you. A thief won’t be welcomed anywhere.” Xu Lu’s red lips overflowed with syllables as she mocked Shan Yue wantonly to the people behind her. “If a person hates you, it might be because of her, but if a group of people hates you, you should think about whether it’s your own problem.”
“Everyone’s mouth is on their own body. I can’t control what others say. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. I can admit to what I’ve done, but no one can force what I haven’t done on me.”
The smile on Shan Yue’s lips deepened and became colder. “It’s okay to eat less, but I think it’s better for Senior to clean up the food on the ground yourself. It’s not like the school canteen doesn’t have surveillance cameras. You can see what you’re doing clearly. If you want to make things difficult, I can accompany you till the end.”
Even if she used a plate to block her hand, the school’s surveillance cameras were not for show after all. Xu Lu still had concerns. If the surveillance cameras really captured something, she would be in the wrong.
Xu Lu seemed to be gagged by Shan Yue’s words for a moment, but she quickly changed the topic. “You don’t have to make yourself sound so noble. What do you mean by you can eat less? Are you really eating less or don’t have the money to buy a second serving? I heard that Student Shan is from a poor village, right? Do the people there have to plan in advance how much they spend on every meal when they go to university?”
“I think you’re overthinking. So what if I’m from a poor village? I don’t feel inferior at all because of my status. At least, I’m not as proud of luxury and waste as you are.” Shan Yue’s brows gradually darkened. “In other words, aren’t we all equal? No matter how rich you are, aren’t you in the same room as me and eating the same food? How do you think you’re noble? There must be more than one person like me in school. Or do you look down on them all?”
“Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not looking down on the poor. I often help poor students. To be honest, I just look down on you. Moreover, it’s a shame for the school to have a student like you.”
A faint smile appeared on Xu Lu’s lips. “You can say whatever you want about me. It doesn’t matter if it’s extravagant or wasteful. It’s my fault for having the ability. If you had the same family background as me, you could also do the same. Unfortunately, this is probably impossible for you to achieve in this lifetime. Even if a sparrow flies to a branch, it won’t become a phoenix.”
Shan Yue shook her head disapprovingly. “Do you really think your family background is very good? Yu Xin’s family business is probably worth more than dozens of you. She’s not even half as arrogant as you. Or is it that your confidence comes from your family’s Xu Feng, who is the dean in school? Do you really think he can protect you if something happens?”
