Jing MO felt the weight of someone’s gaze. As he looked up, he saw Lu Shi eyeing Xia Xin in a way that suggested he was staking a claim.

In Jing Mo’s opinion, Lu Shi wasn’t exactly Xia Xin’s type, but he wasn’t someone to be dismissed lightly either. Born into wealth, Lu Shi was notorious for his womanizing ways. He’d exploit his family’s riches and influence to quash any resistance from the women he’d toyed with. The chatter on the screen only fueled the crowd’s sentiments.

[Haha, it feels good to see Tian Mei knocked down a peg or two!]

[Absolutely! Tian Mei is a selfish woman who doesn’t think about anyone but herself. She’s a bad apple!]

[Our Xu Zhi even said he feels guilty for taking stuff from others and thinks about compensating them. But Tian Mei just expects handouts!]

People were already disowning Tian Mei as a result of her behavior. Those who remained were her most stubborn and loyal fans, believing she was being framed.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Lian retorted, “Didn’t you bring your own food? Eat that and you won’t be hungry.”

Zhou Lian didn’t enjoy being watched while she ate, which was why she responded to Tian Mei.

“But your food tastes so much better,” Tian Mei said, taking a theatrical bite of her thumb.

“We’ve finished eating,” Xia Xin declared, packing up their empty plates and getting ready to wash them.

Tian Mei was incredulous. Her hands clenched into fists, and she burst into noisy tears. Xia Xin frowned, turned around, and walked away without saying a word.

“Do all of you really dislike me? I know I’m a burden to you all. You guys don’t like me because I asked you to help carry my baggage. I’m sorry, okay?” Tian Mei apologized while crying. She’d always had people comfort her when she cried. She assumed this would be no different.bender

Exasperated, Xia Xin joined in the weeping, her cries even louder than Tian

Mei’s. Stunned, Tian Mei forgot to continue her own sobbing. Xia Xin halted her tears. “Done crying? No more?”

“Done…” Tian Mei mumbled, almost involuntarily.

“Good. If you’re hungry, say so. We might not share, but your behavior is downright off-putting, ” Xia Xin said and walked away.

Zhou Lian snickered and followed Xia Xin. “Wait up, Xia Xin! I’m coming with you!”

Xia Xin slowed down her footing. Xia Xin would prefer to befriend Zhou Lian more than Tian Mei. At the same time, Zhou Lian found Xia Xin easy to get along with compared with Tian Mei. In Zhou Lian’s opinion, Xia Xin was straightforward; if one didn’t cross her, she was perfectly fine to be around.

The comments on the screen were going wild.

[Why are they ostracizing our beautiful Tian Mei? She’s such a wonderful girl!]

[Beautiful? Wonderful? Are you dreaming?]

[I can’t stand Tian Mei, she’s so fake.]

Lu Shi figured the online chatter would probably center on that line of debate. He decided not to approach Tian Mei for the time being.

After some thought, Lu Shi trailed behind Xia Xin and Zhou Lian. Convinced of his own irresistibility, he thought he’d easily win over Xia Xin with his good looks, deep emotions, and lavish gifts. She was, after all, just an ordinary girl who hadn’t seen the world.

As Xia Xin and Zhou Lian stopped by the river, Lu Shi frowned at the surrounding darkness. It wasn’t safe to be out here at this hour. Stepping closer, he offered, “Ladies, let me help you. How could your friends let you two wander off like this, especially at night?”

Lu Shi reached out to take the dishes from Xia Xin, but she sidestepped, ensuring he couldn’t touch her..
