Zhong Xiaoxiao was the class monitor so people in the class respected her.
Now that she was also an ideal woman, the influence she held in the gathering was unquestionable.
Which was why people spoke up for her.
Just like in the past when the outcast Gu Qingjiu and Xie Yuning got into an argument.
The situation was just different now.
Xiaoyue’s expression was displeased, but she didn’t continue.
Gu Qingjiu sat at the side as if not hearing them.
In fact, as a sharpshooter with keen senses, she had already sensed that those people were discussing her.
Their gazes kept turning to her made it all the more obvious.
But her change was indeed drastic so Gu Qingjiu could understand why they were discussing it.
Although she hasn’t participated in any student gatherings before this, she could roughly tell the true purpose of it.
She wouldn’t participate in these things. As long as they didn’t say it straight to her face, they could speculate anything they wanted.
She knew that she was innocent, anyway.
More and more people arrived. There were about forty students in her class.
Although Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t mention how many she managed to contact, looking at the current situation, quite a few have already arrived.
There were even a few who were family men.
Gu Qingjiu saw who brought their girlfriends and boyfriends and even some who brought their family.
Who brought their child.
As the number of people increased, the venue became rowdier.
People were all immersed in their conversations while Gu Qingjiu sat alone at the side as if not involved in the gathering.
From there, the cliques were evident.
Well-to-do students were dressed well and fashionably would go to Zhong Xiaoxiao and Yang Han’s circle.
People who didn’t appear as well would sit at the side self-consciously.
One of the girls was carrying her one-year-old child, dressed casually in denim and didn’t put on any make-up.
Making her look frowny as she sat on the sofa opposite Gu Qingjiu.
She looked up and unconsciously started sizing up Gu Qingjiu. Her eyes glint with envy and self-disdain flashed across her eyes.
And when she saw Gu Qingjiu look up at her, she tightened her arms uneasily around her child.
Probably because it was too tight, the child wiggled unhappily and tapped the mother’s face.
Gu Qingjiu sighed inwardly. She used to look at others with that gaze as well.
She took a clearer look at the girl in front of her and tried, “Ji Yunshi?”
Ji Yunshi paused before replying awkwardly, “Ah, you… you know me?”
She seemed nervous, not expecting Gu Qingjiu to recognize her.
Gu Qingjiu smiled warmly. “I’m Gu Qingjiu.”
She introduced herself naturally, with no intention behind her words.
Ji Yunshi stared at Gu Qingjiu as her eyes widened. Her tongue twisted. “You… you are Gu Qingjiu?”
She thought that Gu Qingjiu was some classmate’s relative. The thought that this outstanding girl was Gu Qingjiu never crossed her mind.
That plump girl who wasn’t that memorable in Ji Yunshi’s memories.
Underwent such a drastic change.
