In eighth grade, my best friend sent me a text:
"Mingle, I don't think my parents are really my parents..."
I asked what she meant. Was she writing a horror story?
I was so worried that I rushed over to her house, only to find out that my best friend was the real daughter in a switched-at-birth case. Her biological parents had come to take her home.
From that day on, my life changed. To sum it up, I realized I seemed to be surrounded by rich people.
When we started high school, my best friend went to an elite school, and I went with her.
People would say, "Wow, you and your best friend go to the same high school, so your family must be rich too, right?"
I'd say, "Nope. The scholarship they offered was just too generous."
Li Mingle knew perfectly well that she and those young masters and ladies were not the same kind of people. Her working-class parents couldn't teach her the ins and outs of high society. She had one simple goal: study hard and get into a good university.
Being classmates with rich kids wasn't anything special. It would be even better if the boy behind her would stop trying to tug on her pigtails.
How could such a childish guy be the richest young master in the whole school?
What would happen if there were one more rich person in this world?! (Li Mingle grumbles and crawls around gloomily.)
One day, after Li Mingle had become a corporate wage slave, she posted on her social media:
Li Mingle: I was just complaining about my boss.
Friends 12345: It's already been taken care of. When are you taking over the company?
Li Mingle: No, no, no.
