Chapter 774


    It was not easy for them toe to the most bustling shopping mall in the city center. So Christina and

    the other students, who were poor, looked at the dazzling array of high-end goods and were dazzled.


    They all had a strong desire to spend money, but they couldn’t afford them.


    Even May, who had always been strict with herself, was addicted to the glittering jewelry disyed in


    the window, but she immediately woke up with just a nce at the price tag.


    Even if they couldn’t afford them, they could look at them.


    “It’s 11:30 now. We can stroll for another hour, and then we can go to have dinner. We should start to


    go back to school before 2:30. You, Christina, must report to the student union at 3 o’clock.”


    These poor students made a detailed and proper time arrangement, and Cindy shouted, “Let’s not go


    to that Cantonese restaurant because we should wait for the dishes to be served for a long time. How


    about buying some snacks casually in the square? How wonderful it is for us to eat while shopping.”


    “No, that’s too embarrassing.


    They would be chased out if they were eating while strolling in such high-end shops here.


    Although they were frugal and a little poor, Christina suddenly smiled and felt that she was living a


    and eximing the absurd high price. She didn’t mind the contemptuous gage of others.


    “I want to see this ne.” It was rare for May to take a fancy to a tinum ne with an angel


    wing


    pendant.


    The waitress immediately took the ne out of the counter. Just as she was about to exin the


    advantages of the ne, someone behind interjected, “I want this ne. Wrap it up for me.” It


    was a shrill female voice.


    May turned around and saw that it was a mature woman dressed fashionably, and her face looked a


    little


    familiar.


    Cindy recognized her first, pointed at her, and eximed, “You, you are the second female lead in the


    8:30 TV series.”


    The newly popr actress was recognized so she smirked, but she didn’t greet Cindy. It was


    inappropriate for her to talk to a poor student in public.


    The manager of this gship store also walked over and immediately recognized the star. She


    immediately smiled brightly, “Miss Wallick, you grace us with your presence.”


    Tm your fan. We are very honored to give you what you like as a small gift. Can you take a picture with


    meter?


    I want to hang it in our store.”


    Before she answered, the shop assistant had packed up the tinum ne with the angel wing


    pendant sensibly and handed it over with both hands.


    Wearing sunsses, the female star raised the corner of her lips to signal that she was in a good mood


    and was


    about to reach out for it.


    “This is what we chose first.”


    Christina suddenly said. She was agile and held tightly the red cashmere box that contained the


    ne.


    The female star in front of her was obviously shocked. Even the shop assistant did not expect someone


    to break in and snatch the ne quickly.


    The store manager’s face was dark but she tried to ma ntain a calm tone, “Miss, we want to give Miss


    Wallick this ne as a present. Please hand it over.”


    May and the other students felt pressured when facing the veterans in the workce and immediately


    tugged at Christina’s sleeve, “Give it back to them. Let’s go see something else.”


    Christina didn’t look at them and asked, “Don’t you like it very much?”


    May was momentarily stunned by her question.


    She did like the ne very much. May usually spent most of her money on books, and she always


    came first in examinations. She could take part in this year’s SAT at ease because she had been


    admitted by a key university at home. It was rare for her to meet the jewelry she liked, and she wanted


    to give it to herself as a reward for her hard work in the past three years of high school.


    But now others liked it, so she didn’t dare to fight for it.


    It was a celebrity, and how could they, the ordinary people, provoke her?


    “Christina, return it.” May urged Christina anxiously in a low voice.


    Crystal had always advocated peace, so she reminded Christina in a gentle voice, “There are many


    shops ahead. There might be better ones.”


    When Christina heard what they said, she was going to return the ne. However, the female star


    who thought she was already a top star sald, “You can’t afford it. Don’t dirty my box.”


    Christina immediately was enraged by her words, “Who said we couldn’t afford it?”


    Beauties were easily hostile to other beauties. The new actress looks at Christina’s face and her tone


    was even harsher.


    “How much money can students like you have? Don’t waste your parents’ hard-earned money. You


    shouldn’te to this kind of ce. Do you believe that I’ll ask the security guards in the square to


    chase you out?”


    Cindy was also furious. She cast the card with 100,000 dors that her father gave her on the counter


    and shouted, “What if we are poor students? We can afford a small ne. Swipe the card, swipe


    the card.”


    The people on Christina’s side wanted to buy it, but the people of the store would not sell it to them.


    After weighing the pros and cons, of course, they had to be partial to the beautiful and fashionable


    actress in front of them.


    “Miss, you stole from our store. I have the right to call the police.”


    The manager looked at Christina coldly with a threatening tone, “Please return the thing to us


    immediately.”


    “Don’t nder us!”


    How could a few young students be the match for the veterans in the workce?


    “Who stole your thing? We’re going to buy it. We have money.” Cindy panicked.


    The arrogant female star didn’t need to say anything, and the people in the store immediatelyughed


    at the students, “You have money. How much is that?” They were obviously mocking them.


    “The ne is from our shop. We have the right not to sell it. If you dare to make any more trouble,


    we will call the security guards immediately and even send you to the police station. I hope you will be


    sensible.” title


    The counter manager spoke tactfully and sophisticatedly with a smile on her face, but the corners of


    her lips were full of contempt.


    Christina opened the jewelry box in front of them and took out the tinum ne. She broke the


    thin tinum ne in two immediately hard with her both hands.


    The people present were dumbfounded.


    No one expected that the female student would break the ne in front of them.


    “I’m sorry, it’s broken.” Christina deliberately shook the broken ne in two.


    “You, you,pensate!”


    The manager at the counter was so angry that he pointed at her and shouted.


    “Okay.” Christina said calmly and agreed.


    It seerned that in this half a second, the people in the shop were even angrier and wanted to scold her.


    This girl


    was really ruthless.


    Christina was in approval of all or nothing.


    Didn’t they want to sell it to them? She could break it.


    The female star in sunsses looked sullen, but she couldn’t get angry in public. She held back her


    anger and looked as if she was going to pounce on Christina and scratch Christina’s face with her long


    fingernails.


    The atmosphere was tense, and the passing guests couldn’t help but look over. May and Crystal, who


    had never seen the world, were even more nervous.


    “Cindy, swipe the card. I am hungry. Let’s go to have dinner.” Christina said. Cindy immediately


    responded and mored to pay the bill.


    Christina looked as if she was saying “I am a poor student, but I am not afraid of anyone”. She red


    back at the female star


    Pushing and dragging May and Crystal away, they entered the elevator and went to the dining area on


    the top floor. Only then did May graduallye back to her senses, “Here you are.” Christina handed


    her the ne and box.


    “The ne broke at the middle point. It’s easy to mend it at any jewelry store. You can’t see the w


    because there was the pendant.”


    Christina could tell that May mainly liked this angel wing pendant.


    Christina never appreciated jewelry. She thought that it would be fine even if the ne was broken


    because it could still be worn.


    May held it in her hand, but her eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had been greatly moved. She


    called Christina’s name intermittently, “Ch… Christina.”


    Christina had always caused trouble for her as her roommate, but now she was greatly moved by


    Christina and some tears welled up in her eyes.


    Christina smiled and patted her on the shoulder, “You are once the invincible president of the student


    union in our school, but you were scared by those women. What should you do if you encounter wolves


    and beasts in the future?”


    Crystal took a deep breath and finally said, “I was so scared at that time.”


    It wasn’t that the girls were cowardly. It was Christina who was bold,


    “How much did you pay just now?” Christina quickly pulled Cindy. She was more concerned about the


    money spent.


    Cindy reached out two fingers.


    Christina frowned, “Two thousand dors?”


    “It’s 18,999 dors.” Cindy had just checked the text message and found that it cost about 20,000


    dors.


    On the spot, Cindy just wanted to vent her anger and she didn’t even look at the invoice. Looking at the


    digit now, she was really reluctant.


    Christina looked guilty and regretful. She turned around and said solemnly, “May, I’m sorry for you.”


    If she had known it was so expensive, she wouldn’t have fought for it with the idiot star.


    May smiled, “It’s okay. I know the price.”


    “Why is such a small ne so expensive? It’s a rip-off.”


    “It was brand premium.” May carefully put the ne into her pocket and was relieved. She said to


    Cindy, “Cindy, I’ll transfer the money to you when I get home next week.”


    Cindy, the ‘richest’ girl in their dormitory, waved her hand very generously. “Okay, okay, no hurry. You


    can give it to me after the SAT.”


    For ordinary students like them, buying a ne worth 20,000 dors was really too much. The


    goods in the central square were too high-end, so they had better not look at them. They went straight


    to the Cantonese restaurant they booked to have dinner to vent their anget.


    The rents of the shops here were ridiculously high. The restaurants on the top floor were all iid with


    gold. The dishes were extremely expensive, but they tasted good.


    There were a lot of peopleing to this Cantonese restaurant for dinner. No wonder they had to


    make a reservation. Most of the people who came in for dinner were upper-ss people. Christina and


    the others looked out of ce because of their clothes.


    When they came in, the doorman especially went up to ask them if they came to the wrong store. This


    ce was indeed not suitable for students.


    “We have made a reservation.” Thanks to Cindy’s rich father.


    They were ced at a table at the door waiting for the dishes.


    It was the peak period of having dinner. They confronted the female stars in the jewelry store,


    The female star came in, holding a man. At this moment, she was whispering, and it was obvious that


    she was fawning on this man, Cindy quietly kicked Christina, who was sitting opposite her, with her


    toes and whispered,


    “Isnt the man she’s holding the blonde handsome guy in Porsche we saw at the school gate?”


    Christina stared nkly. She couldn’t remember people’s appearance well, but the yboy had light


    gold hair and a row of dazzling diamonds in his ears, which was really impressive.


    He was just trying to scare her at the school gate. He was shameless.


    Just now, he was unting himself at the entrance of the campus and found a star in an hour. Sure


    enough, this man was not simple. Christina disdained this kind of yboy the most.


    When they were waiting for food, Christina propped up her head and stared at the two people as she


    was seeing a y.


    The female star held the man’s arm, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. Her ferocious


    appearance before had disappeared, and she put on a charming smile to please the man now. She did


    not pay attention to Christina and the others, who were the small roles for her, at all.


    Charles still wore a charming smile and walked towards the restaurant with his femalepanion. He


    looked around as if he was looking for someone.


    “Birds of a feather,” Christina said contemptuously, feeling that the person they were looking for was


    not a good


    one.


    To Christina’s surprise, the man at the innermost table seemed to have said something, and the


    yboy immediately let go of the woman beside him. The female star was very embarrassed and


    indignant. She stomped her feet and walked out.


    They sat far away and there was a partition between tables, so Christina could not see the side face of


    the man at the innermost part clearly. She vaguely felt as if she had seen him somewhere.


    Cindy tugged at her arm excitedly, “Christina, look, the star has been kicked out.”


    Christina was pulled so hard that she did not take a closer look at the man at the innermost ce.


    “It seems that she was driven away by the man inside.” Looking at the embarrassment and anger of the


    female star at this moment, they knew that she had been dumped.


    “Tsk tsk, she is worse than poor students like us.” Cindy was gloating.


    The waiter quickly served the dishes they ordered. They immediately tried their best to restrain


    themselves from eating too recklessly. Now, no gossip could disturb their enthusiasm for eating.


    Compared to their happiness, the two men at the innermost table were not interested in their dishes at


    all. They


    ordered eight dishes and a soup, but they only ate two bites of vegetables,


    *Patrick, I’m sorry about that. I haven’t been back for a long time so I have forgotten it.” Charles smiled


    awkwardly.


    LA


    Patrick had a freak. He hated to interact with women, and he didn’t like to have dinner with strange


    women.


    In the past, they took their girlfriends everywhere to y But even during the sweet and passionate


    period, they did not dare take them to Patrick in fear of provoking him.
