Once Yu Bao’er had left, the room descended into a state of extreme awkwardness again.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel uncomfortable though. She went to her bed and started playing on her phone.
After a good while, Feng Meiyun and the gang continued their conversation. But because Gu Qingjiu was around, they were talking about trivial stuff now.
From makeup to jewelry design, or even fashion clothing brands—they were talking about everything under the sky.
Indeed, girls talked about the same stuff anywhere in the world.
“Ruoqing, didn’t you say you have a cousin Shiwei who’s in France now? Can you get her to help me buy a set of skincare? I’ll give you the money first. My skin can’t quite tolerate our daily training.”
As Gu Qingjiu was scrolling through her phone, she suddenly heard a familiar name.
Her instantly body stiffened.
Perhaps because her back was facing them, no one noticed this.
Their conversation continued.
“I’m not sure about that…” The reply sounded a little weak. “My cousin has a great temper. I’m not sure she’ll agree to help bring back a skincare product. As you know, she’s a rich missy. This sort of thing…”
“Then forget about it, I was just casually mentioning it. I can just get someone else to help me buy it. But Ruoqing, I’m really envious of you for having such a cousin, a true rich missy. I’ve never even seen one in actual life. Do you go over to her place and play with her often? Is her house big?”
There was a tinge of envy in her voice.
“Who? How come I didn’t know Ruoqing has a cousin? Rich missy? Fair, rich, and beautiful?” The person who asked this was Feng Meiyun.
“Not only that!” The one who spoke earlier, Hu Zhixuan, laughed. “She comes from North City, and her family is prominent and famous there. Doesn’t it sound wondrous, like something you only see on TV dramas?”
There was a hint of showing off in her words.
Gu Qingjiu’s body completely stiffened.
Her fingers tightened around her phone, her face turning pale.
In those usually calm eyes, there was hatred in them.
‘Yu Shiwei!’
She didn’t believe that this world was truly so small that she would even hear about Yu Shiwei in the camp.
Although North City was in fact the capital city of the provincial government, this world was really too small.
Ji Ruoqing, who hung out with Jiang Yu and the gang, turned out to be Yu Shiwei’s younger cousin?
But why had she never heard of Ji Ruoqing’s name in those few years she lived with the Yu family?
“No… it’s not like that. Cousin Shiwei and I are quite distant relatives. Although I address her as Cousin, I’ve only been to her place once when I was little. Our families only exchange greetings during New Year and aren’t all that close.”
Ji Ruoqing was an honest person who immediately revealed the truth.
No wonder.
The snobbish Yu Shiwei wouldn’t bother herself with distant relatives from faraway cities.
Despite that being the case, hearing Yu Shiwei’s name after a peaceful month still brought back painful memories in Gu Qingjiu.
After she was reborn, she carried her revenge with her and also a sense of worry.
She was actually terrified that one day she would wake up to find that she was still in that prison, that same dark prison where she couldn’t even see sunlight, looking at Yu Shiwei’s smug face.
And living in despair for the rest of her life.
