Chapter 17: A C Cup, Truly Impressive

Under the intimidating gaze of Granny Jin, Jin Yao obediently fell silent and began studying the menu intently.

Nan Xing sipped a glass of plain water brought by the waiter and looked around the surroundings.

The Seven Stars Pavilion lived up to its name, with an interior decorated in an antique style. Each table was separated by intricately carved new-Chinese style screens. Soon, the place was packed with guests.

Watching the steady stream of patrons, Nan Xing silently gave her fifth brother a thumbs-up in her heart.

Before long, the dishes were all served.

Jin Yao had to leave midway due to some urgent matter. While Nan Xing was having lunch with Granny Jin, two figures entered the Seven Stars Pavilion.

As they passed by Nan Xing’s table, one of them caught sight of her and couldn’t help but show a flicker of surprise.

They hadn’t expected this rustic girl to dine in such a place.

It was well known that the Seven Stars Pavilion charged a pretty penny for its food and drinks; a meal here would easily cost upwards of five figures.

With that in mind, the woman stopped in her tracks. “Nan Xing, I never thought I’d run into you in a place like this. Have you grown tired of your plain meals and decided to upgrade your lifestyle?”

The speaker was Xi Meng, Nan Zhen’er’s close friend and also one of Nan Xing’s fiercest rivals.

The reason Xi Meng looked down on Nan Xing was simple: since Nan Xing transferred to the school, she had stolen all the limelight, even taking the scholarship spot that Xi Meng coveted. Naturally, Xi Meng could not accept it.

Now, seeing Nan Xing accompanied only by an old lady, while she herself was with her boyfriend, Xi Meng felt confident enough to mock her.

Nan Xing sensed the hostility and calmly put down her chopsticks, leisurely assessing Xi Meng and the man beside her.

Judging by their intimate posture, the man was likely her new boyfriend, a wealthy second-generation heir supporting her.

Nan Xing’s gaze settled on the second-hand designer bag Xi Meng carried. “I earn my own money, so of course I can eat whatever I want.”

A sneer curled Xi Meng’s lips. “You transferred here from the countryside, right? How much money could you possibly have? Probably spent the scholarship money already. Nan Xing, a word of advice: don’t embarrass yourself by pretending to be something you’re not.”

“Like you’re not from the countryside yourself? So what if I am? Am I supposed to be ashamed?”

“Oh, I almost forgot. Your mother works as a maid for a wealthy family, and because she served them well, the old man generously gave you a house? I heard your wedding is coming up soon? So you’ll soon be considered part of the city’s elite.”

Where Nan Xing had heard such rumors was anyone’s guess. Xi Meng’s face flushed a mix of anger and embarrassment. “Don’t waste your breath trying to mock me here. My mother is my mother, and I am who I am. Everything I have now is thanks to my own abilities.”

“Is that so?” Nan Xing nodded solemnly, her eyes inadvertently flicking to Xi Meng’s C-cup chest. “Indeed, you have ability.”

For one thing, Nan Xing had, by chance, seen Xi Meng get into the cars of more than a dozen men at the school gate—ranging from eighteen to fifty-eight years old. Any man with a bit of money was welcome to her.

The man before her was one of the best among many males, no wonder Xi Meng was so proud to show him off openly.

“Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Lin Hao. His family runs a company. Graduation is approaching, Nan Xing. If you really can’t find a job, feel free to contact us. I’ll have my boyfriend arrange an easy position for you.”

Xi Meng beamed with pride, tugging Lin Hao’s hand and smiling sweetly at him. “Isn’t that right, darling?”

Lin Hao’s eyes flickered uneasily, his expression sour, but he maintained the polished gentlemanly demeanor. “No problem. Dream’s friend is my friend. I’ll definitely arrange a good position for her.”
