Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 728: Who Gave the Courage

Gu Lingling did not expect to run into Zhou Yutong when she returned to school the next day.

"Should I call you junior, or little sister-in-law?" Zhou Yutong seems to really like red; her red trench coat made her skin appear exceptionally fair.

Gu Lingling has never seen anyone suit red clothing so well.

Zhou Yutong did.

"Just call me Lingling." Gu Lingling said with a smile.

"I’ve heard there’s a new campus belle from our English department, didn’t expect it to be you." Zhou Yutong said with a smile, "But you are really beautiful, much prettier than that phony one."

Gu Lingling smiled; she didn’t know who the phony one Zhou Yutong was referring to.

After exchanging greetings, because they were both rushing to class, they agreed to have lunch together at the cafeteria.

"Lingling, how do you know her?" Wen Jing asked enviously, "Do you know she’s quite a figure in our school?"

Gu Lingling was not aware of this.

"She’s the president of our school’s Dance Association, supposedly dances beautifully." Wen Jing admired, "And she knows several foreign languages."

Gu Lingling recalled Yang Yunhai mentioning that Zhou Yutong’s late mother was a diplomat at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, known for multiple languages; Zhou Yutong was truly following in her mother’s footsteps.

"Some people, you see, just a few months into the school year and they’re already good at sucking up." Zhang Xiaoman led a group past Gu Lingling, "But what good does currying favor do, do they really think they’ll become Kyoto people?"

"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin."

"Zhang Xiaoman, can’t you clean up your mouth?" Wen Jing said angrily.

"What did I do? Did I say you? Why are you so agitated? You’re really eager to be a lackey." Zhang Xiaoman sneered.

"Who’s the lackey insulting?"

"The lackey’s insulting her." Zhang Xiaoman pointed at Wen Jing.

Then Wen Jing laughed with her shoulders up, "So eager to admit you’re a lackey, no one else would." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"You..." Zhang Xiaoman glared at Gu Lingling angrily, "How dare you set me up."

Gu Lingling smiled faintly, although she smiled, but there was no trace of it in her eyes, "Set you up? I thought you’d learned your lesson, but it seems you’re still not enough."

"You... what are you trying to do?" Zhang Xiaoman instinctively protected her face.

When she realized Gu Lingling hadn’t moved, she felt ashamed again, to be frightened by her merely with a look.

On the way to the classroom, naturally there were quite a few onlookers.

Zhang Xiaoman could hear laughter around.

"Wait for me." Zhang Xiaoman threw this remark angrily and left.

"Wonder who gave her the courage to be so forgetful." Wen Jing shook her head, "But she defamed you, and the school just let it go, truly unjust."

Gu Lingling was also puzzled.

It seemed Zhang Xiaoman had someone backing her, just didn’t know who.

Couldn’t help but think of Li Qiao’s ’My dad is Li Gang,’ was Li Gang really that formidable?

Come noon, when she saw Zhang Xiaoman together with Zhou Xinxin, she realized it wasn’t Li Gang who was formidable.

This was clinging onto someone powerful.

Zhou Xinxin arrogantly walked up to Gu Lingling and stopped, leaned in to her and whispered, "Besides me, no one is worthy of him."

Thinking Yang Yunhai found something remarkable, turns out just a country girl.

That will make things much easier.
