70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 298 - 17: Alienation

The family got another dog, and Yin Yang was quite uncomfortable with it. However, everyone else seemed to adapt well and really liked both puppies.

During dinner, Xu Mumu mentioned Su Yue’e to Professor Song.

"Part-time job, huh? Over at the lab building, the dean needs two students to analyze experiment data specifically. Your friend could give it a try. It doesn’t matter if she’s unfamiliar; the dean will teach her." Professor Song was definitely responsible.

Among these students, many weren’t having an easy time. The school had multiple subsidy policies and offered numerous job positions. Although the salaries were low, they did help ease the living burdens for needy students quite a bit.

The school also lacked funds, which was why the job salaries were low.

"Alright, I’ll go tell her tomorrow and let her find the dean herself." Xu Mumu nodded, making a silent decision in her heart not to help again with something like this. Who knows how many others might come looking to her to connect with people after she helped Su Yue’e this time.

The next day, when Xu Mumu arrived in the classroom, she went straight to find Su Yue’e and let her know to find the dean when she had time. She briefly explained what Professor Song mentioned.

"Mumu, really, thank you so much." Su Yue’e said excitedly.

Xu Mumu looked deeply at Su Yue’e, "There’s no need for thanks. I don’t want this matter to be known as coming from me." Xu Mumu’s tone was cool, carrying a sense of detachment, completely different from the warmth she had previously shown towards Su Yue’e.

"I understand." Su Yue’e felt a tightness in her heart, gripping her sleeve tightly. Still, gaining this opportunity was enough.

"Take care." Xu Mumu nodded and returned to her seat.

Su Yue’e followed closely behind Xu Mumu into the classroom. She felt torn, wanting to speak with Xu Mumu, but as she saw the detachment in Xu Mumu’s eyes, she could only give up.

She realized she had already missed the chance to have Xu Mumu as a friend.

However, if given another opportunity, she would undoubtedly make the same choice.

Taking a glance at the conflicted Su Yue’e, Xu Mumu sighed slightly and didn’t bother with her.

When the second class ended, Su Yue’e excitedly took her books and went off to find the dean.

Xu Mumu was planning to find Yin Yang, but before she could get there, she saw him standing with a tall girl, with a flushed face and expectant eyes.

But Yin Yang’s expression was not good, appearing visibly impatient.

"Mumu, finally you’re here, I’m being bothered by someone." Yin Yang’s eyes lit up upon seeing Xu Mumu and he looked at her pleadingly. He had actually planned to find her, but was stopped halfway.

"What’s going on here?" Xu Mumu approached and slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at the tall beauty before her, she was quite pretty, with fair skin and delicate features.

"She’s blocking me from looking for you, really annoying. Mumu, I only like you, don’t misunderstand." Yin Yang said immediately. He felt he was high-profile enough, being very open about having a girlfriend, yet still had girls confessing to him. It exhausted him, and he worried if his little girlfriend would misunderstand. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Cheng Zilan’s face paled for a moment; she knew that Yin Yang was taken. But Yin Yang was not only good-looking, he excelled in academics, and was gentle and courteous, and he was highly admired within the class and department. The girls who liked him could circle the school several times.

That’s why she confessed her feelings to Yin Yang.

Upon seeing Yin Yang’s impatient face, especially after Xu Mumu arrived, his entire focus shifted to her.

She realized now that she had no chance; the girl in front of him was no less attractive than her, and Yin Yang’s heart was entirely on her.

"Hello, I’m Xu Mumu, Yin Yang’s girlfriend." Xu Mumu said to Cheng Zilan with a smile, appearing friendly without showing any hostility.

"Hi, I just wanted to say a few words to Yin Yang, sorry about that." Cheng Zilan carefully looked at Xu Mumu before speaking.

"Is that so? We have things to do, so we’ll be off now." Xu Mumu said with a cheerful smile.

After they walked away, Xu Mumu suddenly pinched Yin Yang’s waist harshly, feeling frustrated that he always attracted all sorts of girls, hopefully not the wrong ones. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

This trick was learned from her mother. Whenever Xu Hai angered Li Caixia, Li Caixia would give him a hard pinch.

"Mumu, it hurts, really hurts, go easy." Yin Yang exaggeratedly cried out. Xu Mumu had purposely chosen the side without injury, not using too much force.

"Bear it, hmph." Xu Mumu feigned an angry expression.

"I understand, Mumu don’t be mad, you can pinch me a couple more times." Yin Yang pretended to endure bitterly.

"Next time, don’t get so close to those girls. Or else, hmph hmph, I’ll show you what cruelty is." Xu Mumu cracked her knuckles, trying to make a fierce face.

"Okay okay, I promise to stay away from them." Yin Yang immediately agreed. Ever since Professor Song was reinstated, he returned, and aside from matters regarding the Yun family, he had no concerns, no need to lower himself to deal with people he didn’t like.

"That’s better." Xu Mumu, once coaxed, put away all her expressions, visibly satisfied.

She knew this wasn’t Yin Yang’s fault; it was mainly his face that was too eye-catching.

After coaxing his little girlfriend, the two happily headed home. As for Cheng Zilan who happened to walk by and saw the two playing around, she posed no real threat and wasn’t on their minds.

Cheng Zilan felt bitter; she knew she had lost. But in her heart, she wasn’t willing to admit defeat, not believing she was any worse than Xu Mumu. It was just that Xu Mumu met Yin Yang first, giving her the opportunity.

Luckily, Xu Mumu didn’t know Cheng Zilan’s thoughts. At this moment, she was chatting with Yin Yang, planning on going home in a little over a half month when the holidays began. They also planned to take back some specialties from the Imperial City.

Her mother loved to show off, so she might as well buy nice things to let her flaunt to her heart’s desire.

Furthermore, Xu Mumu was discussing with Yin Yang how to swindle money from her parents. They must have earned some money from work recently; they become overly confident when loaded and it’s best they have less money.

She couldn’t think of any good ways at the moment, so she had Yin Yang come up with ideas for her.

Yin Yang’s mouth twitched. Fortunately, Old Xu’s couple didn’t know their daughter was trying to scheme them, silently lit a candle for them in his mind, they were too pitiful.
