Chapter 596: What Right Do You Have to Be So Arrogant?

Chu Lingxiu was genuinely grateful to Shen Nian, not just because of what happened today, but because if Shen Nian hadn’t come along, she would probably still be completely deceived.

If it weren’t for Shen Nian, she probably never would have made such a true friend.

She didn’t need her friends to have an amazing family background or be wealthy. All she really wanted was someone who would treat her with sincerity.

Shen Nian smiled back at Chu Lingxiu.

"They’re right. True friends should be sincere with each other. As for people who can’t even be bothered to be genuine, why waste your time being sad over them!"

"Yeah, you’re right. From now on, I won’t let things like this bother me anymore."

Whatever Gu Shuxin did in the future was her own choice. No matter how she treated her, Chu Lingxiu would no longer be troubled by it.

While Chu Lingxiu had completely let go of her resentment, Gu Shuxin, on the other hand, was not faring nearly as well.

Unable to endure the crowd’s mockery and condemnation, Gu Shuxin could only storm back to her dorm in a rage.

But even back in the dorm, Gu Shuxin still failed to recognize her own mistakes. Instead, she blindly directed all her anger at everyone else.

With all the commotion outside, the residents of Dorm 405 had naturally heard what happened. Besides, Jiang Jiajia and Cao Yuqing had only returned a little before Gu Shuxin; they had been in the crowd and seen the entire incident unfold.

For a while now, the two of them had been shamelessly sucking up to Gu Shuxin because of the connection to the Gu family she had hinted at.

They gave her first dibs on any nice things they had and always looped her in on good opportunities. And Gu Shuxin accepted it all without a second thought.

Although Jiang Jiajia and Cao Yuqing felt the sting of their generosity, they told themselves it would all be worth it if they could use Gu Shuxin’s status to one day connect with the Gu family.

But today, reality had slapped them right in the face.

The two young masters of the Gu family had come to the university, but they weren’t there for Gu Shuxin at all. In fact, when Gu Shuxin approached them, they didn’t even give her the time of day.

No matter how they looked at it, this wasn’t at all what Gu Shuxin had led them to believe. Maybe Gu Shuxin really did know the Gu family, but their relationship was definitely not as close as she had implied.

Thinking of everything they had sacrificed for Gu Shuxin, Jiang Jiajia and Cao Yuqing finally understood the devastating truth: they had been completely and utterly used!

And she had been thorough about it.

If the Gu family hadn’t come to the university today, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they might have continued to be used by Gu Shuxin indefinitely!

They had been used just as thoroughly as the young lady from the Chu family, who had almost been their roommate. Now they understood why the two of them, who had once been so close, had ended up like this.

The young lady of the Chu family must have figured it all out early on. That’s why she had distanced herself from Gu Shuxin!

Just as Jiang Jiajia and Cao Yuqing were connecting the dots and seething with indignation, Gu Shuxin returned. And she returned in a fury. The first thing she did was slam the door shut, making everyone in the room jump.

"Gu Shuxin, what do you think you’re doing?!"

Before, Cao Yuqing would never have spoken to Gu Shuxin like that. But now, even those words weren’t enough to vent her fury.

’We’re the ones Gu Shuxin used! If anyone should be throwing a fit and slamming doors, it should be us! What right does she have to keep lording it over us?!’
