Chapter 72: I Know, You’re Jealous of Me

Luo Chenxi was about to leave.

Indeed, she did not have the money to buy the fabrics here, so there was no need to make a fool of herself just because someone mocked her.

Since she had already seen the goods, there was no need for her to stay.

Zuo Xiaoqing came back to her senses and darted in front of her.

“Wait, you can’t leave!”

Luo Chenxi grinned sarcastically. “What’s the matter? The main door of the entire shop is right there and you aren’t letting anyone leave? Zuo Xiaoqing, do you really think you own this place?”

Zuo Xiaoqing was briefly shaken for a moment, but suddenly seemed to remember something and gradually relaxed her tense expression and changed her composure.

“Luo Chenxi, listen to yourself, what are you even talking about? You made it sound as if I was trying to pick a fight! I stopped you in your tracks because we were former school mates. Since you are so poor that you can’t afford these fabrics here, I’m willing to help you out for the sake of our past friendship.”

“How about this? You get to stay here and look around as much as you want. If there’s anything that you’d like to touch, you can have the shop assistant to bring you a sample. I’ll bear the compensation if anything gets damaged!”

Zuo Xiaoqing put up a magnanimous front as her words took a big 180 degree turn. She sounded as if she really wanted to help.

Luo Chenxi could not figure out her intentions and frowned. “Zuo Xiaoqing, what are you trying to pull?”

Zuo Xiaoqing smiled brightly. “I’m not trying to pull anything, I just wanted to help a fellow classmate!”

“That’s not necessary. We’re competitors, we’ll meet during the semi-finals.”

Luo Chenxi paid no heed to her flowery words and turned around to leave.

“Hey, wait, don’t leave in such a hurry! I’m just being kind. What’s with that attitude?” Zuo Xiaoqing anxiously chased after her.

As long as Luo Chenxi left, there would be no one left for her to boast to.

Just then, the door was pushed open again and a man walked in.Zuo Xiaoqing’s eyes lit up as she turned around and looked.

The person she was waiting for… finally showed up!

“Honey, you are finally here, I’ve waited so long for you!” Zuo Xiaoqing wiggled her waist and ran towards the man, her voice became extremely sweet.

Luo Chenxi’s felt goosebumps all over her body. “Who is that person?”

“That is Miss Zuo’s boyfriend—Young Master Chen! Young Master Chen comes from a wealthy family. Not only is he handsome and rich, but he loves Miss Zuo with all his heart! Every time Miss Zuo came here for fabrics, Young Master Chen would always pay for them.”

“It’s all thanks to the support from such an amazing boyfriend that Miss Zuo can become a designer with a promising future. Unlike a certain someone who can’t even afford fabric…” The shop assistant chimed in.

She took the initiative to flatter the couple just so she could make up for her chuckling at Zuo Xiaoqing back there—and also made sure to slip in an extra bit of insult towards Luo Chenxi.

When Zuo Xiaoqing heard this, a smug smile appeared on her face.

She tried so hard to keep Luo Chenxi here just for this very moment.

She wanted Luo Chenxi to know that there was no need to be talented in design. She was already a winner in life!

Zuo Xiaoqing walked toward Luo Chenxi with her arms wrapped around her boyfriend and stood before her with a bright smile on her face.

“Chenxi, this is my boyfriend. You know him too. You haven’t seen him for so many years. I’ll bet you didn’t expect me to be with him, did you?”

Hearing this, Luo Chenxi was stunned for a moment before she took a closer look at Young Master Chen.

His facial features were quite delicate, but he did not seem to be taller than her. He was also overweight and his hairline had already shifted to the back.

His face had a faint, greasy luster.

‘Handsome? I don’t think so!’

But he did look familiar.

Just where had she seen him before?

“My apologies, I don’t seem to remember where have I met Young Master Chen before…”

“Oh please, Chenxi, stop pretending! He is none other than the most handsome boy in our art campus back then—Chen Junjie! Didn’t you have a crush on him before?”

“I get that you’re jealous of us getting together, but there’s no need to act like you don’t know him when he’s your former school mate!”

Zuo Xiaoqing covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly.
