Chapter 85

Sitting by the window, Su Yuan buried her head in her lunch, trying to ignore the curious expressions on Yang Xiaowei and Mo Ying's faces.

A few minutes ago, no matter how much Su Yuan wanted to escape, the inevitable happened. Facing Yang Xiaowei and Mo Ying's surprised gazes, she awkwardly turned her head and greeted them, "Xiaowei, Mo Ying, hello..."

"Is it really you, Su Yuan?"

"Do you know each other?" Qin Lanqing asked in surprise.

Su Yuan could only smile and say, "Xiaowei and Mo Ying are my classmates..."

Qin Lanqing nodded. Seeing that Su Yuan actually knew two people from Aiko and learning that they were classmates, she said very readily, "Since you know each other, that's great. Xiaoyuan, the two important guests from Aiko are in your hands. I'll take care of the others."

After Qin Lanqing left with the others, Su Yuan, Yang Xiaowei, and Mo Ying each took a tray of food and sat by the window.

"Su Yuan, can you at least tell us what's going on instead of just eating?"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her in OL attire, Yang Xiaowei scratched his head, his eyes full of surprise. He stared at her, finding it hard to associate this girl with the Su Yuan from the dormitory.

He couldn't understand why, if she was the princess of Su Meng Culture, she would still live in the boys' dormitory! What annoyed him even more was that she kept eating and wouldn't say a word.

"Oh, oh, I'm full."

Su Yuan calmly took a napkin and wiped her mouth, her movements slow and graceful. She asked, "What were you saying just now?"

A few black lines appeared on Yang Xiaowei and Mo Ying's foreheads. Yang Xiaowei frowned and said, "Su Yuan, I have a very important question to ask you. Are you a boy or a girl?"

Looking at him, Su Yuan gently smoothed her bangs and said seriously, "I should be a girl..."

"Can you use the word 'should' for gender? If you're a boy, you're a boy; if you're a girl, you're a girl!"

Yang Xiaowei was very unsatisfied with Su Yuan's answer. Mo Ying also nodded in agreement.

Sighing, Su Yuan said, "Then I'm a girl."

"Su Yuan, since you're a girl, why are you living in Xiaowei's dormitory? It's very dangerous for a girl to live in a boys' dormitory."

Once Mo Ying learned that Su Yuan was a girl, her previous confusion vanished. She sat next to Su Yuan, gently hugging her waist, and giggled, "You're really a girl, your waist is so slim, it feels so good to hug!"

"Stop it!" Su Yuan's face was serious as she struggled out of her embrace. She said to Yang Xiaowei, "I'll move out of the dormitory this time. Don't ask me why I lived in the boys' dormitory before."

Su Yuan didn't plan to tell anyone about her transformation. What she needed to do now was to cut ties with her past.

Yang Xiaowei nodded, "Don't worry, everyone has their own private space. If you don't want to say, I won't ask." Then he said, "So, Ji Yehao and Gao Jun don't know you're a girl?"

Su Yuan replied, "I haven't told them."

After that, everyone fell silent.

Yang Xiaowei wasn't bored. He looked at Su Yuan in her female attire with great interest. She was indeed a very beautiful girl. With her wealth, the term "white, rich, and beautiful" fit her perfectly. What was rare was that she had no airs of a rich person. Whoever married her in the future would definitely hit the jackpot.

Mo Ying leaned close to Su Yuan, sniffing the fragrance that wafted over from nearby, looking at her with a faint appreciation. Women can appreciate other women, at least Mo Ying thought so. She found Su Yuan to be a treasure. In the general perception, rich girls were often arrogant and ignorant. Even if they were excellent in every aspect and understood human relations, they would still be hard to get along with.

Mo Ying used to think this way.

But this impression was shattered by Su Yuan.

Whether Su Yuan was a rich girl was now confirmed. If Yang Xiaowei's family, with their "Aiko Materials" and a net worth of hundreds of millions, was compared to Su Yuan's family, which had assets worth billions, there was a significant difference.

Without a doubt, Su Yuan was a rich girl from a wealthy family! But there was not a trace of the typical rich girl's airs on her. Sometimes, she even seemed a bit silly. When she was thought to be a boy, she even had a faint air of a loser. Now, thinking back, she realized she had been too worldly and had unknowingly judged others with a worldly perspective.

If Su Yuan wasn't a "white, rich, and beautiful" girl, who could be?

Moreover, Mo Ying, with her woman's gossipy logic, thought about deeper things, like why Su Yuan dressed as a boy and lived in the boys' dormitory. It couldn't be just for fun; she wouldn't believe that.

Was it for someone? Mo Ying felt she understood something. At the same time, she was a bit relieved. Fortunately, she had acted quickly, and Su Yuan hadn't revealed her female identity, or Yang Xiaowei might have been captivated by her too!

——————————————————

This unexpected meeting with Yang Xiaowei and Mo Ying made Su Yuan's unprepared heart feel like a roller coaster. It wasn't until she saw them leave that she realized that revealing her secret as a girl wasn't such a big deal.

If Yang Xiaowei and Mo Ying could accept it, others probably wouldn't be much different!

Back home, Su Caimei enthusiastically took the bag from her waist and smiled, "How was it? Everything went smoothly, right?"

Su Yuan threw herself onto the sofa, rolled around a couple of times, then sat up abruptly and glared at her, "Su Caimei, you better tell me, what else are you hiding from me?!"

"I'm hiding something from you? No!" Su Caimei didn't mind being called by her name and smiled sweetly.

Staring at her, Su Yuan finally gave up.

When a woman becomes shameless, a man has no choice but to slap her. But... is a man who slaps a woman still a man of integrity?

Su Yuan couldn't do anything about Su Caimei, no matter what, she was still her mother!

"Alright, alright, don't be angry."

Su Caimei walked over, gently patted Su Yuan's shoulder, and said softly, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would affect your growth. Think about it, you've been abnormal since elementary school, and it got worse in middle school. If you knew the family was rich, wouldn't you have become a spoiled rich kid? Have you heard of the saying, 'raise boys in poverty and girls in wealth'?"

This made Su Yuan pause.

"Do you remember when we lived in a big house when you were little, and then we moved a few times, and the houses got smaller and smaller?"

After she said this, Su Yuan nodded, "Of course I remember. I thought Mom was struggling to make ends meet."

Indeed, as they both said, Su Caimei had moved several times with Su Yuan, and the houses got smaller and smaller. At the time, Su Yuan didn't understand, but later, she realized her mother's difficulties and thought her salary wasn't enough to maintain a large house. The stationery factory left by her father probably wasn't doing well either.

She never expected that Su Caimei's moves were all because of her.

Thinking back, Su Yuan felt a bit embarrassed about her past. "Hmph, you pass this time!"

Seeing that Su Yuan wasn't pursuing the matter of hiding the family's situation, Su Caimei beamed and took out a finely packaged box, handing it to Su Yuan, "Open it and see if you like it."

"This is..."

Looking at the brand new phone in the box, Su Yuan was stunned.

It was the popular Apple phone. A little over half a month ago, Apple had grandly launched the biggest design change since 2010—the iPhone 5!

This clearly elongated version was the iPhone 5!

Su Yuan took out the phone and played with it, then generously put aside her displeasure with Su Caimei, "For the sake of this phone, I'll forgive your擅自作主this time!!"
