"Yeah, Miss Su! Young Master Mei may not even take a fancy to her. Don't be angry!" another heavily - made - up girl chimed in.
"That's right. You're the well - known eldest daughter of the Su family in the capital. Only you are worthy of Young Master Mei! Look at that girl. She looks like a penniless nobody without any power or influence!"
"Before we came here, we heard that there was a little bully in this school named Qiao Yimeng... She claims that Young Master Mei belongs to her and can't stand the girls who pursue him. She always bullies them. Pfft... It's so funny! She's just the daughter of a small clerk in Pandora Company, yet she dares to be so domineering!"
"Yes. Not to mention Miss Su's wealthy background. Young Master Mei just didn't return to the Mei family for a vacation, and Miss Su chased him all the way to his school. This shows Miss Su's true feelings for Young Master Mei. I believe Young Master Mei will be touched by our young lady."
"Yes, yes, yes. It must be so."
Hearing this, Su Man curled the corner of her mouth. She was already tired of such flattering words as she had heard too many of them.
But it had to be said that flattering words did sound nice. After all, they also told the truth. It was somewhat useful to please her.
It was obvious that the girl who was close to Mei Xuejian was just a passer - by. Young Master Mei had only smiled at her out of politeness and she didn't pose any threat.
Su Man looked at Mei Xuejian in front of her. The brush in her hand moved slightly and continued to scribble. In her world, there was only Mei Xuejian.
Looking at the group not far away, Ding Ruola touched her chin and sized up the young man in front of her.
She couldn't help but speak up: "Classmate Mei, who are those people? Are they your little fans again? They seem to be very combative."
"I'm not familiar with them. People from the Su family in the capital?" Mei Xuejian glanced at them indifferently and then lowered his head to continue reading.
"The Su family in the capital? What kind of family is that?" Ding Ruola asked curiously, her eyes wide open.
"I don't know. But you've already completed all your four - year college courses. Why are you back at school?" Mei Xuejian obviously didn't care about those people and changed the topic.
"Oh, there are some things I'm not familiar with! For example, advertising design. I'm just coming back for a few days to make up for it. After that, I'll go back to the studio!" Ding Ruola answered seriously.
Hearing this, Mei Xuejian couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.
Alright, I don't understand the world of you big shots.
"Come and take a look at this." Mei Xuejian handed Ding Ruola a design draft and then got up and sat down beside her.
Ding Ruola took a look and then explained it to Mei Xuejian clearly, scribbling something on the paper as she spoke.
This scene fell into the eyes of the group of girls not far away, and they instantly exploded.
In their eyes, Mei Xuejian and that girl were too close, and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.
"This woman is so scheming! She even pretends to be pitiful and stupid to get Young Master Mei to explain the questions to her! Does she think she's Yuan Xiangqin and has met a Jiang Zhishu? It's really like an ugly duckling dreaming of becoming a white swan!"
"What makes her worthy of Young Master Mei? She doesn't look good and her clothes are shabby! Young Master Mei is kind - hearted, but she took advantage of it! A toad wants to eat swan meat!"
"She must know that Young Master Mei is the heir of the Mei family, so she deliberately gets close to him! This woman is so scheming! Does she want to marry into a wealthy family?"
Su Man listened silently on one side, clenching her teeth. Her eyes were filled with a faint bloodshot. She just found the two people in front of her an eyesore.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "Who just said something? There's a little bully who likes to bully the female classmates who like Senior Mei. Who is that?"
Su Man's tone was casual, and every word revealed the elegance of a well - bred young lady. But the expression on her face showed that she was already angry.
"Cough, Miss Su, it seems to be Qiao Yimeng from Class 1, Visual and Communication Major, Freshman Year. She doesn't have any power or background, just a bit arrogant."
A heavily - made - up girl was stunned for a moment and then seemed to realize something: "Miss Su, do you mean..."
"Smart people don't need to say too much nonsense..." Su Man interrupted her before she could finish speaking, curling the corner of her mouth gracefully.
"I'm just going to teach a little girl a lesson so that she won't get in the way of my painting..."
At night, the sky was full of stars.
Ding Ruola and Bi Shuang had just finished their evening self - study. As they walked onto a path lined with plane trees, Qiao Yimeng and a few girls walked towards them: "Sister Ruola?"
Qiao Yimeng was wearing a military - green casual three - piece suit. She put her hands in her coat pockets and had a polite smile on her face.
"Hmm? Classmate Qiao Yimeng? Do you have something to ask? Are you here to ask about the situation of Senior Mei?" Seeing Qiao Yimeng, Ding Ruola was a little surprised and curled the corner of her mouth playfully.
The girl in front of her seemed to have changed in temperament. She was no longer that arrogant and willful little girl, but had gained a bit more maturity.
"No, Sister Ruola." Qiao Yimeng smiled and then her expression became serious.
"Hmm?"
"There's a group of people from the Su family in the capital. Do you have any conflicts with them?" Qiao Yimeng looked very serious.
"People from the Su family in the capital? You mean the girl who pursues Senior Mei?" Ding Ruola raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but think of the group of girls she saw in the library in the morning.
"Yes. They told me that they wanted to teach you a lesson."
When Qiao Yimeng heard Ding Ruola say the words "pursue Senior Mei", a flash of loss passed through her eyes.
A look of surprise flashed through Ding Ruola's eyes, and she couldn't help but chuckle: "Do girls these days have such strong possessiveness?"
Pulling up her plaid scarf, Ding Ruola looked at Qiao Yimeng with a bit of scrutiny and a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
Seeing Ding Ruola's look, Qiao Yimeng was a bit flustered.
"Sister Ruola, don't worry. I won't do such things to you again! They must have misunderstood the relationship between you and Senior Mei. Just like I did last time... But before they try to do something to you, they should first find out who you are, Sister Ruola! Another over - confident person! It's really ridiculous."
Qiao Yimeng was very angry, and her cheeks puffed up.
Pressing her fingertips against her forehead, Ding Ruola chuckled: "No, I want to ask, are you sad? There's another girl who likes Senior Mei..."
"I... After what happened in the hospital last time, I've figured it out. If you like someone, you should strive for it yourself and try to become better to get closer to him. Instead of blindly preventing others from getting close."
Qiao Yimeng lowered her head. The look in Mei Xuejian's eyes when she was in the hospital last time still left a great shadow on her. But it also promoted her growth.
