Chapter 1176: Beautiful and Expensive Flowers

Xia Yingluo said calmly, “How would I know why he came to save me? Maybe he saw that I was getting bullied and hence, stepped up to do a good deed? Zhang Qiang and Jiang Bilian, they all are too arrogant, so it’s only normal that some people can’t take it. As for the black sports car? Sorry, Dean, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Those people must have mistaken someone for me.”

“You!” The Dean shook with anger. “Where have you learned to lie so well at such a young age?”

Xia Yingluo smiled slightly. “Is that right?” She had followed her father and brother to the north and south, visited the bottom three slums, and also went to the most prosperous and famous feasts. She had become so adept at talking, so this mere Dean was simply not up to her match. She covered her mouth and yawned in boredom, her attitude as graceful as a princess. “If it’s okay, I’ll go back to class first. The monthly exam is coming, Dean. If my schoolwork is delayed because I’ve been called here, it seems I’m able to complain, right?”

Dean: “…”

Imperial Entertainment indeed had such a rule. No matter how big of a matter, it had to make a concession for schoolwork. Not to mention that he was the dean of academic affairs, even the principal did not dare to delay students from going to class. However, he was not reconciled. Among those who had been beaten that day, Jiang Bilian had a little background and came from a pretty big family from the city. He had even secretly received several gifts from her family before. If he couldn’t help Jiang Bilian vent her anger, his future might not be as comfortable anymore.

But Xia Yingluo was so cunning that he couldn’t use anything against her.

The Dean watched her go out with a headache.

The girl walked back to the classroom eagerly, her lips curled up in a smile. Tsk, he dared to fight with her? She was happier the more flustered and exasperated her enemy was.

She stepped into the classroom and saw that Jiang Bilian was also there, surrounded by a group of people. They were all admiring the beautiful blue rose in her hands. Xia Yingluo glanced at it casually; the blue rose’s color was indeed gorgeous, but the flower shape was a little inferior and it wasn’t of a top grade. If this kind of flower appeared in her house, she wouldn’t mind, but her spoiled and picky mother would definitely be disgusted.

Thinking about this, she went over to her own seat.

“Hey, look at how arrogant they are,” Jin Ling’er came over and said to her with a low voice. “Isn’t it just a blue rose? What’s so great, they said it was raised by a new flower shop that opened in the city. It must be reserved. Otherwise, it can’t be bought with money. I don’t know which stupid person sent it to her.”

Xia Yingluo asked, “Someone is chasing her?”

Jin Ling’er said, “It seems that some time ago, she followed the Training Camp to participate in a commercial show and gained a few fans. I don’t know which braindead fan sent her this, but she claims it’s her secret admirer. Tsk, how could a person like her even have fans?” She paused for a moment before continuing, “I heard that the flower is a specially cultivated limited-edition one, but I see no difference between that and a normal blue rose.”

Xia Yingluo laughed out loudly. “There is no difference.”

This class was the culture class, and she took out her books from her table.

Suddenly, she heard someone say from a nearby table, “Sister Bilian, only you can deserve such a beautiful and expensive flower. Unlike some people who are too poor to pay the tuition fees and still live on the scholarship.”

Xia Yingluo frowned slightly. She turned her head and saw that the speaker was Zhu Zhu. She was standing next to Jiang Bilian and looking at her proudly.

As soon as Zhu Zhu’s said this, many people started gossiping. “Hehe, isn’t it? A lot of the scholarship bonuses were donated by the Jiang family, but unfortunately, some people have received the Jiang family’s favor and yet still don’t know to be grateful.”

They all sung the same note and were very lively.

Jin Ling’er shot up and said, “Who are you talking about!”

“You know who!” Zhu Zhu retorted with a malicious smile. Many people around her also laughed.

From the side came Jiang Bilian’s gentle voice. “Zhu Zhu, forget it, my family donated the scholarships without any anticipation for reciprocation. My dad said that the recipients are poor people who can’t afford to eat, so we should help them and not let them be kicked out of the school to become beggars. This is the Jiang family’s merit, how could we expect these poor people to reciprocate?”

“How dare you say Yingluo is a beggar!” Jin Ling’er’s lungs exploded.

Jiang Bilian pretended to be guilty of blundering and elegantly covered her mouth before saying, “Sorry, I didn’t mean that. My family has always taught me not to look down on the poor. I was really just judging the matter as it stands, Ling’er, Yingluo, so don’t think too much.”

“Who will listen to you making oblique accusations!” Jin Ling’er persisted.

Xia Yingluo sighed in her heart. This Ling’er’s temper was really explosive and was so easily trapped by other people. She pulled Jin Ling’er and smiled insincerely at Jiang Bilian. “Why should we be angry. Even if we want to bicker, we must find someone who is really rich and has a good taste to bicker with. Why should we bicker with someone treating a defective blue rose as a treasure?”

Jiang Bilian’s expression changed. “Xia Yingluo, how could you say that to me?”

Zhu Zhu said on the side, “Sister Bilian, you can’t be angry with these two poor ghosts. Do they think this is a blue rose that was sold by some roadside shop? They don’t understand how expensive an authentic blue rose with real blue petals is.”

The people surrounding Jiang Bilian also mocked Xia Yingluo. “Ignorant country bumpkin.”

Jiang Bilian’s anger was appeased and her face eased again.

She heard Xia Yingluo sneer. “Ignorant? The stem of this flower isn’t straight enough, and the petals are not arranged in the most optimum stance. More importantly, hehe, yes, although it wasn’t a sprayed-on blue rose, it is just a white rose that had been gradually dyed during its growth process. In the end, it’s artificially colored, so why isn’t it a defective product? You all have never seen a real naturally grown blue rose, have you? A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins.”

Jiang Bilian’s chest tightened. She didn’t know about flowers, she only knew that the flower shop was very expensive, so she was utterly speechless at Xia Yingluo’s refute. This flower was really artificially dyed? She didn’t believe Xia Yingluo’s cheap words!

Jiang Bilian said, “You are really good at joking, how did you know this is an artificially dyed flower? Nightingale Flower Shop has such a good reputation, how could it sell defective flowers? It must be a naturally grown blue rose.” Regardless of whether the flower had grown naturally, she had to suppress Xia Yingluo’s arrogance. She couldn’t prove the flower’s authenticity anyways.

Xia Yingluo only looked at her pitifully like she was an idiot.

Zhu Zhu was very angry. “Old country bumpkin, what’s with your expression?”
