I laughed. "That's because I have a good background. I have Jing Tian and my little uncle to back me up. I am merely using their power to intimidate others." I shrugged. "Ultimately, it has its upsides. At the very least, smart people like you won't bully me."
Lu Yan patted my shoulder with a smile. "Nanxing, there's no need to belittle yourself. Even though you have powerful backers, you've never relied on them. I do not want to be your enemy simply because you are better as a friend than an enemy."
That was high praise, and I appreciated it.
We both knew this was the first and last time we'd talk so openly like this. After tonight, I'd return as Sky City's Sister Xing, and she'd no longer be the poor student who had to work multiple part-time jobs to support herself and her brothers. She would be the eldest daughter of the Gu Family, and her status would rise higher than Gu Yan.
