Chapter 1372: The Blackened Good Girl (7)

“I heard she's really good at studying. She got into high school as the top student and she's still holding onto first place.”

Tang Guo's reputation as a model student was known throughout the school.

Even several rival schools often used her grades as an example for their own students.

“So what if she's good at studying?” Wu Lingling scoffed. “Grades don't mean everything. We're at the best age of our lives. If all we do is waste it on studying, how boring would that be? If you don't enjoy your youth properly, you'll definitely regret it in the future.”

Wu Lingling loudly expressed her opinions with the delinquent girls around her.

When talking about Tang Guo's grades, there was a trace of jealousy in her tone that even she herself failed to notice.

When speaking of Tang Guo's family background, there was envy that she didn't realize either.

Eventually, that envy and jealousy merged together. In truth, she was merely sour grapes.

What student didn't want good grades?

Good grades brought praise from teachers and parents, and they could still have fun at the same time.

Wu Lingling was chattering away when she suddenly sensed something was wrong. Looking up, she realized that Tang Guo had somehow walked right in front of her.

Her face reddened slightly. Being caught talking about someone behind their back was undeniably embarrassing.

“Cousin, shouldn't you be heading to class? You'll be late if you don't hurry.”

Tang Guo's calm eyes swept over her. “Lingling, you're already in your third year of middle school. High school entrance exams are just around the corner. You should know better by now. You skip classes all day and hang around with delinquents outside. Have you ever thought about your mother?”

“Aunt works two jobs by herself just to support your education. She gets up early and works until late every day, and she still has to prepare breakfast and dinner for you. Yet you take the money she gives you and waste it playing around, refusing to study, skipping classes whenever you like, and arguing with your teachers. You say my life is arranged, that following a routine and studying is boring and a waste of youth. But what about you?”

Wu Lingling had never imagined Tang Guo would say something like this.

Moreover, people were passing by all around them. Seeing the model student from the high school section lecturing the notorious delinquent girl from middle school, many students laughed as they entered the campus, as if they had stumbled upon something interesting.

Wu Lingling felt utterly humiliated.

“What right do you have to lecture me? I spend my parents' money, not yours!”

“Lingling.” Tang Guo frowned. “My mother couldn't bear to see Aunt suffering too much. The tuition fees for this school are all paid by my mother. If she hadn't paid for your education, I wouldn't bother involving myself in your affairs. Don't think our money comes from nowhere. My parents travel constantly for work and spend all their time outside earning money. Their hardships are no less than Aunt's. I'm saying this because I feel sorry for my parents, spending their hard-earned money on someone like you who doesn't study and skips classes every day.”

The surrounding students were astonished.

Everyone knew that the model student from the high school section was the cousin of the delinquent girl from middle school.

Wu Lingling spent money lavishly, and they had assumed her family was well-off.

None of them had expected that the money she spent actually came from Tang Guo's mother.

Didn't she know what her own family's circumstances were?

Since when had someone spending another person's money become so righteous and confident?

“Lingling, grow up already. Stop making Aunt worry. Every time you worry Aunt, my mother worries about her as well. I really can't stand seeing it anymore.”

“Who wants your family's money anyway?”

Feeling countless strange gazes directed at her, Wu Lingling roared furiously.
