After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 550

A few minutes later, Lin Ling came out of the bathroom.

His dark gray suit accentuated his slender figure, his tie was impeccably tied, and the white shirt complemented his fair complexion perfectly, giving him an air of nobility.

He walked to the mirror, casually tidied his hair, and turned to look at Shan Caiwei: "How is it?"

Shan Caiwei looked up, paused for a second, and then laughed, "President Lin, you look... impeccably handsome. Xu Miaomiao would probably faint if she saw you like that."

Lin Ling smiled faintly: "Whether she gets dizzy or not doesn't matter, as long as she takes the bait."

At the edge of the Yunnan University's sports field, the setting sun casts long shadows on the mottled cement steps.

The faint aroma of food from the cafeteria wafted through the air, mingling with the roar of lawnmowers on the lawn.

This is a place where students often come after class.

Xu Miaomiao sat on the third step, holding a half-empty bottle of cola in her hand, her brows furrowed and her face full of displeasure.

Two girls stood opposite her, one with her hair in a high ponytail and the other wearing black-rimmed glasses. Each of them held a cup of milk tea and looked down at her with a condescending gaze.

"Are you serious, Miaomiao?"

The girl with the high ponytail rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Just because we didn't invite you to the dinner party, you're getting angry with me?"

Xu Miaomiao suddenly looked up, glared at her, and said in a sharp voice, "You always leave me out of your gatherings. Do you think I can't get along with you? You didn't invite me to the hot pot dinner last time, and you did it again this time. What did I do to offend you?"

The girl with glasses sneered and pushed up her glasses: "Don't make yourself sound so pitiful, okay? Our dinner is on a pay-your-own-way basis. We went to 'Yun Jin Zhai,' which costs 300 yuan per person. Can you afford that? Don't come back later saying you didn't bring any money and ask us to pay for it."

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Xu Miaomiao's heart.

Her face flushed bright red, and the Coke bottle in her hand creaked as she squeezed it.

She stood up abruptly, pointed at the two girls, her voice trembling but firm: "So what if it's three hundred yuan? It's not like everyone doesn't have it! I'm not dirt poor, why do you look down on me like this?"

The girl with the high ponytail scoffed, looked her up and down, and her gaze lingered on the bag she was carrying: "Looking down on you? Xu Miaomiao, take a look in the mirror yourself. That bag of yours, is it a knock-off?"

"And those shoes of yours, were they cheap knock-offs from Putian that you bought for a few dozen yuan on Taobao? You still want to pretend you're rich and come eat a 300-yuan meal with us. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Upon hearing this, several students passing by couldn't help but glance at him and whisper among themselves.

Xu Miaomiao's face turned even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

She glared at them through gritted teeth: "You look down on me! I have my own way of living, and it's none of your business!"

"Oh, are you angry?"

The girl with glasses crossed her arms and said in an even more sarcastic tone, "Getting angry won't help. Facts are facts. If it weren't for your sweet dog constantly bringing you things, you wouldn't even be able to afford this outfit, would you? Stop pretending, Xu Miaomiao, aren't you just getting by because of men supporting you?"

These words completely ignited Xu Miaomiao's anger.

She took a step forward and raised her hand to throw it, but the girl with the high ponytail grabbed her wrist.

She struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. She could only tremble with anger and yell, "Watch your mouths! I'm doing just fine on my own!"

"Good?"

The girl with the high ponytail let go of her hand and sneered, "Then why don't you go to 'Yun Jin Zhai' and have a meal there for us? Don't just talk the talk."

Xu Miaomiao bit her lip, glared at them, her chest heaving violently, but she couldn't utter a rebuttal for a long time.

Just then, a deep engine sound came from afar, breaking the tense argument.

The three girls turned their heads at the same time and saw a black Maybach slowly drive onto the road at the edge of the playground. The car had smooth lines and was understated yet exuded an undeniable aura of luxury.

"What kind of car is that?"

The girl with glasses paused for a moment, pushed up her glasses, and muttered under her breath, "How much does this cost?"

The girl with the high ponytail squinted, her tone tinged with amazement: "The top-of-the-line Maybach, right? I saw it online last time, it starts at three or four million. Who in school is that rich?"
