Chapter 86: Freeloaders. She’s My Friend
Yun Yi was a handsome young man. Standing among the others, he was still the most outstanding, given his tall build and good looks.
However, this gave rise to jealousy among the other boys in his class.
This was because the majority of the girls in class would cast their eyes on Yun Yi with blushed cheeks, not sparing the other boys even a glance.
The boy who spoke just now was the one who despised Yun Yi the most in class, Wu Bing.
Wu Bing was an average-looking teenager. He was plump and had a full face of zits, his only redeeming feature was his height.
His family was rather well-off, inevitably causing him to feel pompous and more superior to the others. He was usually snobbish and overweening.
The majority of Yun Yi’s classmates came from this very city and were quite wealthy.
Xu Haozhe had invited the entire class to his birthday party, although there were plenty of them who did not come.
Nonetheless, Yun Yi and Xu Haozhe were best friends. The former could not possibly miss it.
Given the fact that most of the classmates who attended the gathering today were rich kids. Wu Bing took the opportunity and devised this idea with the sole purpose of embarrassing Yun Yi.
Truthfully, Yun Yi was at a loss from Wu Bing’s words.
After all, it was his best friend’s birthday party. Although Xu Haozhe had told him ceaselessly to not buy him any presents and that only his presence and sincerity mattered, the other classmates who came with him gifted red pockets.
Instead it was him, who was usually the closest to Xu Haozhe, that became a freeloader who did not give a single cent.
How could he?
In spite of it, Yun Yi was really penniless. At most, he had a few Chinese yuan and even that took months to save.
The reality was his family condition was poor. He was basically staying at someone else’s home – how could he have any more money?
Wu Bing laughed inwardly. He was planning to see Yun Yi’s embarrassment.
“Big brother!”
A crisp and clear voice sounded timely. It was melodious like the angel.
A girl who was about fifteen years old was seen walking down from the spiral staircase.
She was dressed averagely, while a woman wearing a hat followed her.
It was the girl’s pretty face that perked up everyone.
Yun Jian walked over to Yun Yi and flashed him a smile, disregarding the rest of his classmates. “Big bro, why are you here too?”
“Xiao Jian?” Astonished, Yun Yi had wanted to ask Yun Jian the same question only for her to speak first.
“It’s Zhe’s birthday today. He’s hosting a party at the restaurant for everyone here. Our class has come to celebrate with him.” Yun Yi’s nerves were slightly soothed the moment he saw his baby sister.
With what happened previously, he even felt that there was nothing unachievable with his sister here.
“Oh...” Yun Jian pretended to only just understand the situation and nodded before flashing a grin. “Then he probably won’t mind if I bring my friend along for a free meal, right?”
Yun Jian stepped aside to introduce Snake.Lizard as she spoke.
The group of teenagers could not help rolling their eyes when they heard her.
They had witnessed shameless people before, but not to this extent. She was asking to be a freeloader herself!
Surprised as he had never met Snake.Lizard, Yun Yi looked at Yun Jian. “Xiao Jian, this is...”
“She’s my friend,” answered Yun Jian with a squint.
“Yun Yi, is this your younger sister?” Having been interrupted by Yun Jian when his scheme was about to succeed, Wu Bing could feel his teeth gritting together as he looked down at Yun Yi.
Before he got Yun Yi’s reply, he continued impatiently. “Yun Yi, is your sister bringing her friend to the party too? It’s not – not too considerate, isn’t it? Xu Haozhe is being nice, treating all of us to a meal. It’s fine that you didn’t contribute towards his gift money, but now you’re inviting two more people...”
As his words faded to a stop, Wu Bing’s implication was clear.
He was reminding Yun Yi that his sister and her friend were freeloaders too when he was already leeching off Xu Haozhe.
