Chapter 514 Slander
Bai Yuan added: "Auntie, your family is well off and does not fall into the category of poor students. The school has reviewed and determined that Yu Wen does not meet the scholarship requirements and did not give her a place."
Zhao Jiajia also chimed in:
"Really, Auntie, you can disbelieve what others say, but you can't disbelieve Bai Yuan's words. This scholarship is sponsored by her company, and she knows the conditions best!"
Listening to Bai Yuan's words, Wen's mother was a little bit unconvinced at first, and suspected that the other party was intentionally trying to exonerate Yu Wen.
But when he heard what Zhao Jiajia said, all his attention was attracted by the words "her company". He was slightly startled, and recalled the financial aid materials he got from the counselor when school started. Then he reacted and said:
"Your company? Is Baishi your company?"
Wen's mother showed a surprised expression on her face, "Oh, right, Bai Yuan, your last name is Bai! Look at my brain, why didn't you react just now!"
No wonder any outfit costs around a million. This must be the cheapest thing in her wardrobe, right?
If she was a lady from the Bai Group, then that would make sense.
Seeing that his daughter had the good fortune to live in the same dormitory with the daughter of the Bai family, he was amazed and there was a bit more awe in his eyes when he looked at Bai Yuan.
How dare he question the truth of what the other party said? He hurriedly responded:
"Is that so? Wenwen, why are you afraid to say it? Just explain it clearly. Just do what the school says you should do. How could your mother blame you for such a small matter?"
After saying that, he changed his already enthusiastic style and showed his courtesy to Bai Yuan even more frequently. His words and deeds all hinted that Bai Yuan should help and support his daughter more.
The banquet was coming to an end as Wen's mother continued to talk.
In the middle of the process, Wen's mother winked at Yu Wen and called her out under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Inside the box, the few people who finally got a chance to catch their breath breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, Yu Wen's mother is so scary."
Zhao Jiajia patted her chest and said with lingering fear:
"Luckily, Bai Yuan is here. If she had kept talking to me like this for even half an hour, I would have been unable to resist arguing with her. Yu Wen has had to face her mother's unlimited "love" every day since she was a child. Isn't this too pitiful?"
"It's okay." Bai Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong. Anyway, it was the same to coax the uncles and aunts in the compound, and it was the same to coax Wen's mother. The purpose was to make friends feel better, and there would be no difference between inside and outside the compound.
Hearing this, Zhao Jiajia once again looked at Bai Yuan, who was calm and even her hair was not messed up, and gave her a thumbs up:
"Awesome! Awesome!"
After saying this, he seemed to be thinking about something:
"Bai Yuan, I see you don't feel annoyed at all. Are your parents also this annoying at home? Are you used to being annoyed since you were a child?"
"No." Bai Yuan said truthfully, "My parents are busy with work, and I rarely see them."
Zhao Jiajia exclaimed "Wow" and said enviously, holding her chin:
"They don't live together, they don't nag, and they send money on time every month??? What kind of godly parents and godly family are these? This is too cool!!!"
Then he changed his words:
"Hehe, I don't ask for so much. As long as they can give me a little more living expenses, I'd be willing to listen to ten Wenma nagging in my ears 24 hours a day!"
Zhang Aiwen looked at Zhao Jiajia in horror:
"Ten?! I'd rather spend a million to buy peace of mind. This is horrible!!!"
Outside.
After leaving the box, he took out a bank card from his bag and handed it to Yu Wen:
"We are the ones who need help now, how can we let Bai Yuan pay for the meal? Go to the front desk and pay the bill in advance. Leave a good impression on Bai Yuan. If she has good things in the future, she will definitely remember you."
Although Yu Wen disagreed with the overly utilitarian second half of her mother's statement, she also agreed that Bai Yuan should not pay for the entire meal.
Bai Yuan has helped me so much, so I should treat him to a meal to repay his kindness.
Thinking of this, Yu Wen nodded, took the bank card in her hand and walked to the front desk, handing the card over:
"Hello, checkout for room 688."
The clerk at the front desk returned the card intact and said in a gentle tone:
"Ma'am, we only accept reservations here. We do not accept cash or credit cards in person. This order has been recorded in Ms. Bai's name. When you finish your meal, it will automatically be charged to Ms. Bai. Is there anything else you need?"
Wen's mother, who came with us, also heard of this system for the first time. After refreshing her understanding of the consumption patterns of the upper class, she couldn't help but ask:
"Oh, can I ask how much this meal cost in total?"
It's a good idea to reciprocate. At worst, I can just send back double the money in other ways.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll check for you." The waiter was very friendly, showing no impatience at all, and replied with a polite smile:
"I found it, ma'am. The total consumption here is 126,388 yuan."
130,000...
After rounding off, both Yu Wen and her mother gasped.
She spent more than 100,000 yuan on a meal. She is truly worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Her casual spending is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family.
After thanking the waiter and leaving, Wen's mother was still a little dazed, but she quickly regained her spirits, grabbed Yu Wen's wrist, and said:
"Wenwen, did you see that? Your classmate is not an ordinary person. You must seize this opportunity to show off in front of her. Run errands for her when you have nothing to do, ask her about her well-being, and try to get close to her. Making friends with ladies from the upper class can help you save at least 20 years of detours. When the time comes, you can get a job at the Bai Group with just a word from her."
Hearing her mother openly teaching her how to use the backdoor, Yu Wen felt ashamed and said, "Mom, this is not good. Didn't you say before..."
"How come you can't adapt?" Seeing her stubborn daughter who refused to change her ways, Wen's mother became a little anxious and scolded her:
"Just do what I ask you to do. I'm your mother, how can I harm you? When you go out to work, you'll know how difficult working life is, especially for us women. More people mean more options. If you make friends with the daughter of the Bai family and get a job at the Bai family, your colleagues will not only not bully you, but will also rush to curry favor with you..."
"Oh, I almost forgot, these rich girls spend money lavishly. If you can't keep up with their spending standards, they won't take you out to play next time."
As she spoke, Wen's mother stuffed the bank card that she had not given away just now into Yu Wen's hand.
"There are 50,000 yuan in this card. Take it. When you go out with Bai Yuan, be a little more considerate and pay the bill proactively. Don't let others laugh at you and look down on you. When we get back, I'll transfer another 100,000 yuan to your card. Don't be frugal. Spend when you need to. I'll give you an extra 3,000 yuan per month for living expenses. Don't hold back if it's not enough. I'll transfer more to you if I can..."
On the way back, Wen's mother gave one last reminder:
"Also, I told you a long time ago to stay away from those two people in the dormitory. A nouveau riche who doesn't study all day and only cares about playing, if you stay with her, won't she also lead you astray and make you lose interest in studying?
And that Zhao Jiajia, her family is not well off, she will definitely not help you in the future, maybe she will even ask you to help her, if there is another brother or sister in the family who needs help, then it will be a dog-skin plaster that can't be thrown away? You should have less contact with such people in the future, don't worry, she will rely on our family in the future. "
"Mom!" Yu Wen summoned up her courage and shouted in dissatisfaction, "They are not that kind of people."
"Why not? What do you know as a little kid? How many people have you met? How do you know that people are treacherous? Look at that Zhao Jiajia just now, she lied all the time, did she think I couldn't see that? And she wants to help you lie to me? Listen to your mother, in the future, don't associate with people like this, if you want to make friends, look for someone like Bai Yuan, who is well-educated, generous, and most importantly, can help you in the future..."
……
……
"...That's what my mother told me." Yu Wen sighed and looked at the senior student sitting right opposite her. Her fingers were on the bank card left by her mother, stroking the edge, with an embarrassed look on her face.
Opposite her, the senior in a white T-shirt looked at the bank card, his Adam's apple moved slightly, he suppressed the desire hidden in his eyes, looked at Yu Wen affectionately, and said indignantly:
"How could your mother say that to you? She doesn't love you at all. If she loved you, she wouldn't embarrass you in front of your friends! Your roommates are all cowards. They don't stand up for you. It's only because they didn't meet me. If I were there, I would definitely have a quarrel with her. How could she be so inconsiderate of your feelings?"
"But she is my mother after all." Yu Wen felt better after receiving the comfort and recognition from her senior. However, she still couldn't get over it in her heart and spoke up to defend her.
"Alas, you are bullied because you are too kind." The senior said, then changed the subject and started to criticize Yu Wen's roommates.
"From my perspective, your roommates aren't good people either. They just stand there and watch you make a fool of yourself. Who knows what they're saying about you behind your back."
Yu Wen frowned when she heard this and said hesitantly, "No way? My roommates are not that kind of people. They are very nice people. They will consider me and accommodate my feelings, especially Bai Yuan..."
Having said this, her eyes softened slightly and she smiled:
"If she hadn't helped me so much, said a lot of good things to my mother, and covered up for me about the scholarship, my mother would have scolded me to death this time."
"Not necessarily?" The senior raised his eyebrows and said in a bad tone:
"In my opinion, the worst person here is this Bai Yuan!"
"What are you talking about!" Hearing this, Yu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then showed some displeasure, "Bai Yuan is very good to me, don't say that about her."
"Good? How can she treat you well? I don't think so." The senior student curved his eyebrows and talked eloquently, analyzing the situation to her point by point.
"You said she came out to defend you? Then let me ask you, after she defended you, did your mother say less about you? No, right? Think about it carefully, if she didn't defend you, would your mother praise her and compare you with her?"
Seeing that Yu Wen still showed a disapproving expression, the senior reached out and patted her head, chuckling:
"Little idiot, why are you so stupid? Haven't you come to your senses yet? You are being played by her, being used as a pawn for her! She is using you to highlight her excellence, to steal the show in front of your mother, and at the same time, she is comparing you to nothing. You are the supporting role and she is the red flower. If she really wants to find a partner for you, she shouldn't have shown up in the dormitory from the beginning. If she doesn't come, who will your mother compare you to? Think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"
"No way..." Yu Wen blushed silently at being touched so intimately by the senior she liked, but she still insisted on her point of view, "You don't know, the situation at that time-"
"What was the situation at that time? Your roommate is so smart, how could she not see that your mother is so vain? Given her status, she could have said or done anything to shut your mother up! Didn't you see her do that? Didn't she just watch you being tortured? I think she was secretly happy in her heart!"
Yu Wen: "She is not——"
"Also, you said she helped you cover up your scholarship lie, so is it possible that she could have included you in the scholarship list from the beginning? That way you wouldn't have to lie to your mother, and you wouldn't have to live in fear for so long. In my opinion, she is deliberately making fun of you and watching you make a fool of yourself, and then she will appear in front of you like a savior when you are desperate, and make you beg her and be grateful to her so that she can satisfy her vanity. Maybe she has already guessed that one day, she would kick you out of the scholarship quota on purpose! You..."
"That's enough." After listening to the senior's series of conspiracy theories and words that belittled Bai Yuan, Yu Wen could no longer bear it and for the first time in her life, she stood up and said, "I'll say it again, Bai Yuan is not the kind of person you said she was! She's very nice and caring to me. She's helped me a lot. I don't allow you to say that about her! If you say bad things about her and my roommate in front of me again, I'll, I'll..."
"What about you?" The senior smiled and changed the subject, pinching Yu Wen's nose. "Little idiot, I'm just teasing you. Do you feel better if you vent your anger on me? Alas, I have to be the bad guy. Someone doesn't appreciate it..."
"Really?" Yu Wen asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's true!" The senior student hid his impatience, propped up his chin with his hand, and tilted his head to look at Yu Wen, "I have paid so much for you, tell me, how should I thank you?"
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Yu Wen believed it, and her tone and attitude softened again, "Thank you, senior, you are so good to me... No one has ever been so good to me before, and no one has ever believed what I said..."
"Thank you for your kindness." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the senior raised his lips and casually said:
"In order to show your sincerity in your apology and to comfort my wounded heart, I will punish you by giving me a pair of limited edition sneakers this time. They are not expensive, only 32,000 yuan..."
