But Sun Meimei couldn’t tell at all. She noticed Mo Beichen frowning, but she thought that it was because he was listening to what she said. She continued, “What do you think about this banquet? I think it is totally not up to standard at all.”

Sun Meimei came from a wealthy little family. Although she also usually eats these sorts of foods, she mostly eats luxuriously. Thus, she made such a statement without hesitation.

But the other students shook their heads discreetly. Just by taking a glance at Sun Meimei’s attire, they knew that she lived a pampered life and had not really worried about life at all.

Fan Ming stood still, looking at Sun Meimei making a fool out of herself. He wasn’t anxious at all.

Some who knew about the relationship between Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan were secretly excited because they know that Sun Meimei is digging her own grave now.

The class monitor was a little worried at first. But now, she’s just watching at ease.

“Oh? May I ask what your background is? Why do you think that these things are not worthy?”

Mo Beichen asked dully as he looked at her with a grim expression.

“I came from a well-off family. Is there anything wrong with that?” Sun Meimei answered honestly.

“I see. In that case, do you know the background of the other students?” Mo Beichen asked again.

Sun Meimei looked around and said proudly, “Most of them came from ordinary families.”

“In that case, it seems like you are the only one who is not suitable for this banquet. No one else feels that there’s anything wrong with this banquet.” Mo Beichen said coldly.

Sun Meimei was taken aback. She took a step back subconsciously from the cold aura that suddenly loomed. She explained with a pale face, “They are poor people. It’s all because they are not capable. I can’t simply accommodate them all the time, right?”

Sun Meimei’s voice became softer as she spoke. In fact, her head was already buzzing and she was panicking. She wanted to refute, but she couldn’t find a good reason. So she could only say what came to her mind.

Everyone’s expression changed when they heard Sun Meimei’s words.

Xia Weilan never expected that she would make such a ridiculous remark in order to slander herself. She moved her lips and was about to say something. But Mo Beichen stopped her by shooting her a glance. He said, “Don’t you see yourself as a poor person before me? So, according to you, you are poor because you are not capable?”

Sun Meimei quickly realized that she had said something wrong. She immediately remedied by saying, “I didn’t mean that, I mean, I’m just a student now, so of course I will make some achievements in the future.”

“I’m afraid, with an inner quality like yours, you won’t be achieving anything in another ten years.” Mo Beichen curled his lips as he said faintly, “Never bully the young for being poor. What makes you think that the others are despicable while you are the only one who’s exceptional?”

Sun Meimei’s face became more hideous.

She only realized now that she had unknowingly been led by his words. Obviously, she was talking about the problem of Xia Weilan’s poor organization. But as the conversation goes, how did it lead to the topic of her character?

“Sir, I…” Sun Meimei wanted to say something, but she couldn’t figure out the right words. She could only blush in shame.

The principal felt extremely embarrassed and cleared his throat abruptly, “Why are you still standing here? Aren’t you done making a fool out of yourself? You might as well read more books with all the free time you have!”

Several people stepped forward and seized Sun Meimei away.

She has not reconciled yet. She kept turning her head but to see the back of that noble gentleman saying with a voice that crushed her like a jackhammer, “The Mo Corps recruits fresh graduates every year. I Mo Beichen welcomes anyone who is motivated with dreams and no discrimination.”

""

After a momentary silence, a big round of applause was heard.

Sun Meimei’s eyes widened, and she forgot to struggle. And just like that, she was dragged out from the banquet hall.

Rui Li was in charge of the security outside of the hall. The moment she heard that Sun Meimei slandered Xia Weilan at the banquet just now, she immediately ordered someone to keep an eye on Sun Meimei and made sure that she didn’t have a chance to slip back in.

They left Sun Meimei on the cold aisle. It was only then that she realized everyone here are Xia Weilan’s people. Not only did Fan Ming defend her, the principal couldn’t offend her, and Mo Beichen personally supported her. And there’s also Rui Li protecting her.

Xia Weilan had such an impenetrable defense!

Before, she used to be the young miss in the Student Union. And because of her family background, those commodores don’t dare to provoke her at all. But now, she has met a young miss who has a stronger family background than her. And for the first time in her life, she had received unfair treatment and saw how life is unfair.

The applause continued at the banquet. The principal added a few more words to Mo Beichen’s statement and it brought another wave of applause. Not long after, Mo Beichen walked out with the principal.

The principal walked outside and said in embarassment, “I didn’t expect that there would be such an individual in the school. We’re sorry to cause your girlfriend grievances.”

Mo Beichen faintly replied, and both of them left.

Sun Meimei, who was blocked aside, glared at them angrily.

Sure enough, these powerful and influential people are really big bullies.

The party continued and it reached the peak of the event. Everyone was talking and laughing about what happened just now. And many of them were gossiping about Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen.

Xia Weilan was a little depressed when she noticed how people glanced at her from time to time.

Now, regardless if those knew or were unaware previously, all of them learnt about the gossip at this very moment.

Fan Ming shook his head helplessly when he heard the discussion. He walked beside Xia Weilan and said warmly, “Many of those rumors are not true. You don’t need to worry about them. Just be yourself.”

There were all sorts of rumours flying around the campus. Some said that Xia Weilan was being taken care of and some said that Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen are in a relationship. There are many different versions.

This is mainly due to the bad remarks spread by Sun Meimei before.

The class monitor also came over, and said to Xia Weilan, “Weilan, they are talking nonsense. You don’t have to worry about it. Once they get to know you, they will know how capable you are. There’s simply no need for you to make use of any connections to be the head of department at all, because you are really capable.”

Looking at the two sincere friends, Xia Weilan felt a warmth in her heart.

At this moment, a ridiculously dressed girl came over, “Senior!”

Xia Weilan lifted her gaze and found that it was the freshman who asked her for directions during the school’s reopening.

The school girl showed a nymphomaniac expression, and leaned forward, “Can I be friends with you? You are surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women. I want to follow you to search for a partner for myself.”

Xia Weilan couldn’t help but laugh at her frankness, “Sure, my name is Weilan, what’s your name?”

“My name is Le Xing.”

""

She grinned at Xia Weilan, but her eyes were fixed on Fan Ming who was next to Xia Weilan. She secretly took a few more glances.

Xia Weilan found it funny but she didn’t voice it out.
