Chapter 175: Whoever’s Surname is Murong
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
They were initially just joking. Yang Xin didn’t expect Murong Qiao to really be the Murong family’s little princess she was talking about.
No wonder her Big Brothers were all elites. Wasn’t this Young Miss Murong in the flesh?
“I, I’m not dreaming, am I?” Yang Xin tugged at her face in disbelief. “It hurts!”
Leng Yan was also secretly shocked by Murong Qiao’s ident.i.ty. Although she knew that Murong Qiao must have a good background, she didn’t expect it to be so good.
“I’m indeed the Young Miss Murong you’re talking about, but I’m also your roommate, Murong Qiao.” Murong Qiao patted Yang Xin’s shoulder.
“Please don’t go around telling everyone about this.” She had never felt that her ident.i.ty was worth bragging about.
Yang Xin and Leng Yan looked at each other. They were very sensible and tacitly made a gesture to shut up, indicating that they wouldn’t tell anyone.
Murong Qiao knew what kind of people they were. Seeing them like this, she chuckled and was relieved.
However, they had overlooked one person, Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue quietly stayed in her bed and pursed her lips to prevent herself from making a sound.
Young Miss Murong?
The words echoed in her mind, highlighting the difference between Murong Qiao and her.
Zheng Yue only felt that it was unfair and indescribably uncomfortable.
She hated the way Murong Qiao was surrounded by her roommates’ envy, but she was also envious of the other party’s life of spending money without scruples and doing whatever she wanted.
Some people were born carefree and grew up to be the daughter of a wealthy family while she could only eat bread bitterly. She even had to work three jobs a day and worry about her tuition fees.
They were both humans, but the difference was too great for Zheng Yue to accept.
This feeling seemed to have taken root in Zheng Yue’s heart and had been affecting her. When she went to the canteen to work the next day, she kept thinking about this.
In the afternoon, she stood at her spot in a daze. Even the canteen auntie beside her could tell that her thoughts had drifted somewhere.
“Give me a serving of rice.” A girl placed a plate in front of her. Her delicate voice carried a hint of impatience.
She looked up at the owner of the voice. Her makeup was good and she was wearing fashionable and eye-catching clothes. She looked extremely stuck up.
‘Even she looks down on me?’
Zheng Yue suddenly had this thought. She glanced at the girl in front of her and instinctively gave her a spoonful of rice.
In the end, the spoonful of rice didn’t hit the right spot and spilled on the girl’s clothes.
“Are you crazy?!” The girl’s tone suddenly became sharp, and her words were ear-piercing.
She frowned and looked at the latest trending dress that she had just bought. Her expression was extremely ugly. “Do you know how much my clothes cost? Canyon afford it?!”
The other party was full of anger. Only then did Zheng Yue realize what a stupid thing she had done. She immediately stopped thinking about Murong Qiao and looked at her with a pale face.
“You don’t know how to distribute food and you’re dressed so poorly. Didn’t your parents teach you to apologize?” the girl shouted at her.
She didn’t speak softly to begin with, so everyone around her looked over. Zheng Yue stood on the spot with a pale face, fl.u.s.tered and at a loss.
Even if she lost an entire month of her part-time salary to compensate for this dress, it wouldn’t be enough.
“Alright, calm down.” A hand suddenly reached out from the side and stopped the girl who wanted to flare up at Zheng Yue. “If it’s just rice, it should be easy to clean up.”
What a gentle voice.
Zheng Yue subconsciously thought. Then, she saw the school belle that everyone was discussing on the forum appear in front of her.
“She’s just a student working in the canteen.” Feng Xinyao smiled and took out a wet towel to wipe the rice grains on her clothes. “Don’t make things difficult for her. It’s not easy for those who come from difficult families to go to school.” “Are you alright?” Feng Xinyao turned to Zheng Yue and comforted her.
Anyone could tell at a glance that they were friends. However, compared to the girl’s temper, Feng Xinyao seemed gentle and friendly. It was like a spring breeze that warmed one’s heart.
Everyone could tell that Feng Xinyao was putting in a good word for the student who was working. For a moment, their impression of this school belle soared.
However, Zheng Yue was different. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the handle of the spoon in her hand. She felt that Feng Xinyao’s words were like sharp thorns that stabbed her ruthlessly.
She would rather bear the scolding of the girl just now than hear Feng Xinyao pretend to be understanding towards her, and expose her vulnerable side in front of everyone.
Was it her fault that her family was poor? If she could choose her family background, why would she become like this?
“You don’t have to pretend to be kind,” Zheng Yue said. Her tone was hard and uncomfortable. “You’re not the daughter of the Murong family so why are you acting gentle and magnanimous here?”
Feng Xinyao’s gentle smile almost cracked when she heard this.
The position of the Murong family’s daughter was a knot in Feng Xinyao’s heart.
Especially after meeting Murong Qiao at the racecourse last time, Feng Xinyao became even more concerned about her ident.i.ty.
“Isn’t that what the forum said? Besides, I heard that Feng Xinyao even receives gifts from her brothers every few days.”
“Maybe it’s fake. Our school belle Feng is so hypocritical. She hasn’t relented even after being pursued for a few months. Her nose is high up in the air!”
“To think that the boys still treat her as the white moonlight in their hearts. So she’s a black sesame—”
There were many onlookers, so when they heard Zheng Yue say this, many people started gossiping.
Hearing the words of the people around her, Feng Xinyao gradually tightened her grip, causing her precious bag to crease.
The flaws appearing on the expensive leather was like how Feng Xinyao’s reputation as a young lady was being questioned.
Feng Xinyao didn’t expect Zheng Yue to say such a thing. She originally only wanted to use this matter to show her beautiful image in front of everyone in the canteen, but she didn’t expect Zheng Yue to say such a thing and change the focus of the matter.
“It’s funny that she said that she’s the G.o.d-granddaughter of the Murong family. When I think about how those people on the forum still say that Feng Xinyao is a princess, I really want to ask which KTV she works at.”
“She can’t be the school belle anymore. She’s more like a joke.”
The onlookers didn’t mind the matter blowing up, and their words became more and more overboard.
Feng Xinyao bit her lips and pretended to look embarra.s.sed. She lowered her eyes and looked like she was about to cry.
“I didn’t say that I’m the G.o.d-granddaughter of the Murong Family. Why must everyone force the rumors on me?” Feng Xinyao said with a forced smile, but anyone could tell that she seemed to be very hurt.
Tears were about to fall from the corners of their eyes. The surrounding boys were instantly confused by Feng Xinyao’s appearance. They hurriedly took back what they had said previously, as if they had not said it themselves.
Feng Xinyao lowered her head. To outsiders, she looked very disappointed, but with the cover of her hair, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Zheng Yue had disrupted Feng Xinyao’s plan. For this, Feng Xinyao marked her in her heart, along with Murong Qiao.
She thought that Murong Qiao’s quiet nature was beneficial to her, but she didn’t expect Zheng Yue to appear halfway.
“Wait, if Feng Xinyao is a fake heiress, then who is the real heiress?” A completely different voice suddenly came out from the crowd.
That’s right, who was the real heiress?
Immediately, everyone’s eyes fell on Zheng Yue. Since she said that Feng Xinyao was fake, she definitely knew who was the real one..
