Chapter 165: Chapter 171: Daring to be so Arrogant in Front of Them_1
Back at the Drama Academy, the original ’Ye Ning’ did not fit in with these people.
And since the school workload wasn’t heavy, those now in their senior year had already started working outside. Hence, they were not often seen around the company. Things remained this way until Ye Ning joined and stopped going to school entirely.
Surprisingly, she bumped into them here.
Due to the semi-open setting of the restaurant, the group quickly spotted Ye Ning seated in a curved booth.
After all, her appearance now was too eye-catching; ignoring her was difficult.
The restaurant wasn’t a place the average person visits; it was a wealthy individual who invited several classmates to dine. The one standing at the forefront was her.
"Ah, it really is Ye Ning."
The confirmation made by someone led to the entire group approaching her.
"Ye Ning, what brings you here?"
"Hey Ye Ning, did you get plastic surgery? You look so drastically different." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"She must’ve had surgery."
"And she’s even hooked up with a sugar daddy, that’s why she’s now so impressive."
Each person from this group knew Ye Ning in the past; after all, her edgy style made her stand out in the Drama Academy, which was full of beauties.
A person so rustic, once a laughingstock, became everyone’s ’Fairy’ overnight, leaving her old classmates in disbelief.
Ye Ning sat there, silently observing the group. Despite being vexed at the original ’Ye Ning’ for landing her in this situation, she was clearly unbothered by these childish antics.
Lu Chen, the one leading the group, huffed and looked Ye Ning up and down. He never had any respect for her back at school, but he had to acknowledge that she’s become the most popular person in their class overnight, grabbing headlines even without a major work to her credit.
However, due to their past perception of Ye Ning, they still looked down on her. They deemed her current success merely a result of her backing from a sugar daddy and a sudden change in luck.
But in their minds, Ye Ning was still the Ye Ning of the past.
"Oh, Ye Ning, why are you so quiet? Aren’t familiar faces supposed to mean something to now-popular people like you?"
"Exactly, remember you owed me some money in the past."
"You even borrowed my clothes and never returned them."
"Right, you came here to eat, aren’t the prices steep? Did your sugar daddy bring you here?"
"Yeah, who is your sugar daddy? Where is he? Did he just leave you here alone?"
Ye Ning sat silently, gently lifting the cup from the table, and sipped leisurely.
The way she acted, as if nobody around her mattered, left the group in front of her instantly flustered.
Ye Ning dared to act so brazenly in their presence!
