Everyone knew that the Qi family's daughter in the neighborhood was impressive. She'd been top of her class from childhood, and later got into a big company and lived the high life in a big city. Everyone said that if she married a successful man too, her life would be perfect and happy.
Whenever Qi's parents heard that, they couldn't hide their pride.
Later, people said the Qi family's daughter had gone downhill. She might as well marry anyone at all, so she'd have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
The smiles disappeared from Qi's parents' faces, and they put all their hopes on their second child instead.
Xu Huai stood with her hands in her pockets, listening to everyone's chatter in the courtyard. Then she spat out a sunflower seed shell and sneered. "No matter what Qi Qingyu's like, she's still better than you lot. Hey, did your son pay the medical bills for the person he injured the other day? You're still gossiping about someone else's life. You're ridiculous."
In an instant, everyone in the courtyard turned on her.
"You motherless thing, you never have anything good to say!"
"What gives you the right to criticize people here? Everyone in this courtyard is better than you!"
Xu Huai grinned. "Sorry, I'm bad at studying, so I don't understand animal speech."
With that, she turned to go back inside.
She didn't care.
But when she turned around, she saw Qi Qingyu standing there, her hands clenched into fists.
Xu Huai didn't care, but Qi Qingyu did.
