"I don't have a Lincoln Stretch Limousine," Liu Fudong said with a dark face.
Che Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then she glanced at Ma Ru with some apology, as if she had realized something, and immediately smiled sheepishly:
"Oh, that, I must have remembered wrong! That Ma Ru's sugar daddy must not be you. Don't take it to heart, haha."
With that said, Liu Fudong's face turned even darker, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at Ma Ru, filled with suspicion and scrutiny.
Seeing this, Ma Ru was almost beside herself with anger, and she quickly said:
"Che Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about? I only have one sugar daddy, and I never asked him to drive you home!"
"Yes, yes, my mistake, it was another friend's sugar daddy who drove me home."
Che Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, but this only seemed to make things more suspicious.
Hao Jian and Yuan Shanshan could see what was happening. Che Xiaoxiao was deliberately trying to mess with Ma Ru. In terms of spouting nonsense, Hao Jian felt she was almost on par with himself.
And Liu Fudong was indeed fooled. It was clear that Che Xiaoxiao was backpedaling because she had slipped up.
"Sugar daddy, don't listen to her bullsh*t. This bitch has always had it in for me at school, so now she's taking her revenge," Ma Ru hastily explained, afraid that Liu Fudong would misunderstand. She had worked hard to hook up with this rich man, and she was not ready to let him slip through her fingers until she had milked him for seven or eight bags.
Liu Fudong's face was dark, he nodded but didn't speak, and it was uncertain whether he was really listening.
"Who are you calling a bitch?" Che Xiaoxiao glared.
"A bitch like you!" Ma Ru replied unapologetically, her eyes fierce.
At that moment, Che Xiaoxiao giggled:
"Right, the bitch is calling me out!"
Ma Ru was taken aback, finally realizing she had fallen into the trap Che Xiaoxiao had set for her, and her anger grew. She glared directly at Che Xiaoxiao:
"Che Xiaoxiao, you freaking bitch! Don't think I don't know. You're just jealous because I dress and accessorize better than you, so you're trying to slander me in front of my sugar daddy."
Ma Ru scoffed condescendingly, "But I can understand. A little gangster girl like you can only wear those cheap street stall clothes. Seeing someone in designer wear, it's no wonder you turn green with envy."
"Envious of you? What a joke. I'm not the one selling my body," retorted Che Xiaoxiao, shrugging her shoulders with a mocking curl of her lip.
"You dare call me a whore?"
Ma Ru was stunned on the spot. Che Xiaoxiao had actually insulted her so blatantly in public?
"Oh, my mistake. I take that back. Most whores are forced into it by life circumstances or family issues, but you're different. You threw away your dignity and bottom line willingly out of vanity, so calling you a whore would be an insult to them. You should only be called a bitch, a green-tea bitch!" Che Xiaoxiao laughed mockingly.
"Che Xiaoxiao, you lowlife, I'll make you pay!"
Ma Ru's expression turned malevolent as she lunged at Che Xiaoxiao, aiming to claw her face.
Just then, Liu Fudong stepped in to stop her, a gentle smile on his face as he said to Yuan Shanshan and Che Xiaoxiao:
"We're all classmates. Why let things get so tense? To meet is fate, and since you like the clothes here, go ahead and pick a few sets. I'll foot the bill, and let's consider the grudge with Ma Ru settled."
"Godfather!" Ma Ru shook Liu Fudong's hand, looking very reluctant.
Why should she buy clothes for Che Xiaoxiao when she insults her like that?
She didn't know that Liu Fudong had already taken an interest in Che Xiaoxiao and Yuan Shanshan, and he was doing this to show off his wealth in front of them, to make them admire him.
That way, he would have a way to get his hands on them.
"Hey, you are all classmates, why be so petty?" Liu Fudong chided, then looked at Che Xiaoxiao and the other with a smile:
"Pick whatever you like, it's on me!"
When Liu Fudong said this, his gaze towards Che Xiaoxiao and Yuan Shanshan was filled with blatant desire!
"No need, we are not here to sell ourselves. We can't earn the money for selling flesh." Che Xiaoxiao directly shook her head to refuse.
"Che Xiaoxiao, who are you saying is selling flesh?" Ma Ru glared and said, wishing she could tear this sharp-tongued little wretch to pieces right then.
"Don't overreact as if you're afraid others won't know you're up for sale. Since you've become a whore, don't pretend to be a saint. It's not like no one knows what kind of person you are. Your great reputation has long spread throughout the entire school. Green tea bitch, public bus, incense burner - you've done them all, what are you afraid of people saying?" Che Xiaoxiao said mockingly.
"You're deliberately smearing my name, I'll sue you for defamation!" Ma Ru roared.
"Classmate, this is also just a simple gesture of goodwill, no need to put it so unpleasantly."
Liu Fudong also chimed in, his expression turning somewhat ugly.
"A simple gesture of goodwill? If I take your clothes, I guarantee, the next moment you will want our phone numbers, then take us out for late-night snacks, and then expect us to sell our bodies just green tea bitch." Che Xiaoxiao snorted.
Ma Ru was so angry her nose was nearly crooked - Che Xiaoxiao truly never missed an opportunity to insult her.
Calling her a green tea bitch was as harsh as it gets.
But Liu Fudong didn't get angry. Instead, he just smiled slightly:
"You're right, I indeed would do that, but what's wrong with it? Isn't today's society ? Filled with the stench of materialism and desire. You have something I want, and I have something you want. We're just exchanging goods; at most, it's a lifestyle. There's no need to view it with a critical eye, right?"
"Right, it is indeed just a lifestyle, but I choose to live with more dignity."
Che Xiaoxiao calmly responded, and then her expression changed as she coldly laughed at Liu Fudong:
"However, uncle, you ask me not to view this matter critically, but I wonder, how would you feel if your daughter also married a man your age?"
Then, Liu Fudong's face turned green, feeling a rush of anger in his heart.
Seeing her man losing the argument, Ma Ru quickly stood up and exclaimed:
"Che Xiaoxiao, what are you pretending to be so pure for? I know you too well. Hanging around gangster-like men all day, acting like a Little Gangster Girl. At least I get something in return, and what about you? At best, you're just played with for free, right?"
"You wretch, I'll skin you alive!"
Che Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth in anger – Ma Ru actually dared to insult her and her friends , and she was furious enough to slap her right in the face.
But Che Xiaoxiao's hand was caught by Liu Fudong, who looked at her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes:
"Resorting to violence at the drop of a hat, seems like you really are a Little Gangster Girl. And you still have the nerve to lecture me? You're probably already worn out from being played with by others, aren't you?"
