Chapter 511: A Fragile Little Heart Is Shattered to Pieces (5)

"Who do you think you are? What I do is none of your business! I’ll come back whenever I damn well please!"

Cao Yuqing roared at Wang Chunhua without a second thought. After Shen Nian and Qi Yunzhi’s comforting words, Wang Chunhua’s mood had finally started to improve, but now her eyes reddened once more.

’I was just trying to be nice. Why did Cao Yuqing have to say something so nasty!’

"Cao Yuqing, Chunhua was just concerned about you! Do you have to be like this?"

Earlier, when Shen Nian had been out shopping and before Wang Chunhua had arrived, Qi Yunzhi and Cao Yuqing had actually talked quite a bit. They could even have been considered the friendliest with each other in the dorm.

But seeing Cao Yuqing so unreasonably berate Wang Chunhua again and again, Qi Yunzhi couldn’t stand by and watch any longer. Between Cao Yuqing and Wang Chunhua, she now decisively stood on Wang Chunhua’s side.

’Wang Chunhua’s family might be poor, but she hasn’t done anything wrong.’

Shen Nian, standing to the side, didn’t say a word. Instead, she walked over to Wang Chunhua, took her hand, and began to comfort her.

Seeing both Qi Yunzhi and Shen Nian rush to protect Wang Chunhua, Cao Yuqing grew even more irritated.

"Hah! Concerned about me? Is she even qualified to be concerned about me? A country bumpkin like her... just having her stand in front of me is an eyesore."

As she spoke, Cao Yuqing shot another glare at Wang Chunhua. ’If it weren’t for these annoying country bumpkins in the dorm, I wouldn’t be this furious! And I never would have offended Chu Lingxiu because of Jiang Jiajia!’

Of course, Cao Yuqing still had no idea what kind of person she had truly offended.

Wang Chunhua was already extremely sensitive and insecure about her background. The moment she heard Cao Yuqing call her a "country bumpkin," tears instantly started streaming down her face, and her body began to tremble.

Shen Nian squeezed Wang Chunhua’s hand tightly and looked at Cao Yuqing with a frown.

"’Country bumpkin?’ Classmate Cao Yuqing, just how noble do you think you are? If you’re so high and mighty, then stop eating the rice grown by country folk. Stop enjoying the fruits of their labor. Go live on air! You look down on people from the countryside? Why don’t you go home and ask your elders if your family—going back generations—doesn’t have any country folk in its roots?"

"You..."

Shen Nian’s words instantly made Cao Yuqing’s eyes burn with rage. However, she couldn’t find a single word to refute them.

Because Shen Nian wasn’t wrong. She didn’t even have to go back more than a few generations to find that her own ancestors were all country folk.

The Cao Family had only started living the good life because they’d gotten lucky and suddenly made a fortune. Even Cao Yuqing herself had grown up in the countryside as a child.

Ever since moving to the city, Cao Yuqing had vehemently rejected her rural past. She would even mock and ridicule anyone she saw who was less well-off than her at the drop of a hat.

It was as if doing so could make her seem nobler!

Some people are just like that. The more they lack something, the more desperately they try to flaunt that they have it. Little do they know, the more they do this, the further away the very thing they desire will slip.

Cao Yuqing wanted to show off her noble status, but little did she know, her behavior had absolutely nothing to do with nobility.

In stark contrast to Cao Yuqing, who was left wide-eyed and speechless by Shen Nian’s words, Qi Yunzhi and Wang Chunhua both gazed at Shen Nian with expressions of pure admiration.
