"We're just putting on a show, to let them know I have a handsome boyfriend. He said he'll pick me up here this afternoon, do you think they'd still dare to hang around your house? From now on at school, as long as you're with me, they won't dare to bother you." Tang Huai smiled like a little fox, as if Jing Xuan was doing this for her benefit, when in fact she had twisted it to sound like he was the one being inconvenienced, considering Gu Jiajia's feelings.
When Gu Jiajia heard this, she pondered for a moment and then truly believed Tang Huai's words.
It was only after hearing Tang Huai's essay that she realized how poor Tang Huai's family was.
Tang Huai had never told her about her family issues, only that she had a younger sister in elementary school and another who had just been born.
She hadn't talked about her dad's death or her mom being looked down upon for not being able to bear a son, or any of the associated disdain.
