Su Jin’s face was filled with helplessness when she heard Hou Wan’er’s words. How could this girl boast so shamelessly? She actually said that she’s the champion. It would be such a big slap in her face if she lost.

Su Jin said with a smile, “Hou Wan’er, people will think that you’re a judge when you say that.”

Hou Wan’er’s expression turned serious as she looked at Su Jin. It didn’t matter what others think. She’d toot her own horn first. All the better if it became a reality.

Hou Wan’er said in a serious tone, “Su Jin, let me tell you a secret.”

“I can predict the future. You have to keep it a secret for me.”

Su Jin was speechless. She almost believed Hou Wan’er’s nonsense when she looked at her serious expression. Li Wanru, who’d been listening, looked at Hou Wan’er and asked excitedly, “Sister Hou, can you really predict the future?”

“I’ll get second place?”

“That would bring my ancestors so much pride!”

Hou Wan’er was speechless. She didn’t expect someone to actually believe her. This girl was so silly that it was cute. At this moment, a woman in branded clothes walked over and looked at them with disdain.

“You idiots, you’re so poor and pedantic but you dare to boast so shamelessly?”

“The first and second places will go to the president’s daughters.”

“How can you guys shamelessly say that you will get the first and second places?”

“It’s true that when the forest is big, there are all sorts of birds. You are totally shameless when you talk big.”

Su Jin narrowed her eyes and looked at the woman coldly. She’s clearly unfriendly but Su Jin kept her cool. Hou Wan’er was also pissed. They had the right to say whatever they wanted to say. What did it have to do with this woman?

Hou Wan’er said angrily, “I don’t talk big.”

“Besides, we can say whatever we want. It’s none of your business.”

“Who allowed you to interrupt?”

Li Wanru went up quickly to hold Hou Wan’er back. The competition was about to begin, they couldn’t afford to complicate things now. It wouldn’t be worth it if they were disqualified because of such a small matter.

Li Wanru said softly, “Sister Hou, don’t be angry. This person seems to be the princess’ assistant.”

Li Wanru saw this woman get out of one of the princess’ bodyguard cars when she arrived. She must be someone close to the princess. Hou Wan’er was even more pissed when she heard this. She looked at the woman in front of her and said, “What’s so great about being the princess’ assistant?”

“You think that you can just mock others as you please?”

The princess’ assistant’s eyes were filled with contempt when she heard this. A mocking smile appeared on her face. How dare these poor and pedantic girls? They had no clue what’s good for them at all. They would die and not know why they died. She said coldly, “You guys better be careful.”

“Don’t you know that trouble comes from the mouth?”

Su Jin looked at the princess’ assistant and realized that she was not that young. Although she was pretty, she was probably an old spinster. Why else would she behave as if she had just eaten gunpowder? It was obvious that she was repressed.

Su Jin asked coldly, “What’s your name?”

The princess’ assistant didn’t expect that a poor and pedantic girl had the gall to ask her name. It didn’t matter. She would let them die knowing why. The princess’ assistant replied arrogantly, “My name is Gao Jing.”

“I’m the princess’ assistant.”

“You’d better behave and stop talking nonsense here.”

“Just enjoy the princess’ performance.”

Su Jin sneered when she heard this. What performance? This was a competition, and the winner must win it to become the champion. One would lose if one’s skills were inferior. Besides, why was an assistant so arrogant?

Su Jin said coldly, “You have to understand that this is a competition, not a performance.”

Hou Wan’er was also very angry. She was just having fun, yet an assistant dared to interrupt her. Although the Hou family wasn’t as powerful as the president, they were no small fry either.

Hou Wan’er added angrily, “You should also behave and watch how your princess would lose to us.”

Gao Jing was furious when she heard this. How dare two children from poor families speak like this? They were simply courting death.

It seemed like warning them was useless, so Gao Jing said angrily, “You paupers, you really don’t understand human language.”

“You guys wait here, I’ll go tell the princess.”

“How dare you two poor and pedantic girls speak like this?”

“Wait for your punishment from the princess.”
