They're both children of celebrities. From the moment Lu Tang met Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhiheng had always seemed poised and refined, the ideal young lady in everyone's eyes, a model for all to follow.
From childhood onward, whenever the media tore into Lu Tang for being spoiled, arrogant, and lazy, Xie Zhiheng was always the perfect example held up against her.
Xie Zhiheng was Lu Tang's Five-Finger Mountain, always pressing down on her. Lu Tang hated Xie Zhiheng.
Hated her very much.
Until one day, the Xie family went bankrupt and their reputation was ruined. The media changed its tune, and the goddess everyone had once envied became someone everyone was afraid to be associated with.
The night Lu Tang rescued Xie Zhiheng from a place of decadent luxury, she scolded her: "Have you got any sense? The whole industry is laughing at your family."
Xie Zhiheng said, "I know."
"No one is helping you because they genuinely care."
Xie Zhiheng lowered her eyes slightly and simply said, "I know," still as unflappable as the daughter of a distinguished family she had always been.
Lu Tang took a deep breath, a furious retort ready to burst from her throat: "Then why are you throwing yourself at them!"
Forget it. What's it to her?
Later, after helping her once again, Lu Tang drove her back. The car stopped, but Xie Zhiheng didn't get out.
She turned her head and asked, "You said no one was helping me because they genuinely cared."
"Mm-hmm."
"What about you?" Leaning against the seat, her expression gentle, she looked like an exquisite flower made more beautiful by frost.
As if bewitched, Lu Tang couldn't look away.
"I'm no different." As if possessed, she furrowed her brows and said, "If you're going to be with someone anyway, you might as well be with me."
Her tone was arrogant, and she forced herself to keep her eyes on Xie Zhiheng's clear, crystalline gaze.
She thought Xie Zhiheng would refuse, that she would feel insulted. But to her surprise, after a long pause, Xie Zhiheng agreed.
She said, "All right."
'When the light turns green, you're supposed to turn left, but I insist on turning right.
If you are waiting up ahead, I can travel against the current of the world.'
