Chapter 19: Malicious words

"Some people really can't take it anymore. We're all classmates. There's no need to be so vicious. Even if there really is such a thing, it's unnecessary to be such gossipy people."

If there weren't so many people around, Gu Ruochu would have had a good time. She would have just asked for a fight. In the past, men never had to deal with the scheming of such women.

Now, she truly felt that these women were always looking for trouble.

Liu Mengyu tried her best to suppress her anger when she saw the reproachful looks from the others. She grabbed a glass of wine from the side and rushed over. "Isn't this just a joke? Do you have to be so petty?"

She mumbled as she glared viciously at Gu Ruochu as if she wanted to tear her apart. As she turned around to stare at the other guests, she stumbled and bumped into Gu Ruochu's shoulder. The wine in her hand splashed all over her body.

Liu Mengyu lowered her head and looked at her white gown. The red wine had stained it. Her expression instantly darkened as she scolded Gu Ruochu. "Gu Ruochu, don't you have eyes? I'm huge, didn't you see me coming? Are you blind?"

Gu Ruochu raised her brows. "Why did you insist on bumping into me? What has it got to do with me?"

Liu Mengyu's eyes flashed with hatred when she saw that Gu Ruochu was unapologetic. "How dare you quibble? You were the one who bumped into me and dirtied my clothes. Do you know what brand of clothes I'm wearing? Can you afford to pay for it?"

Liu Mengyu's family was extremely rich. She was the daughter of a prestigious family, and her parents spoilt her. She had a bad temper, and now that Gu Ruochu had wronged her, she was even more unreasonable.

Gu Ruochu did not expect to meet such a bad-tempered lady at the reunion. She had planned to stay and put on an act, but her patience was running out.

"You've only been doused with alcohol. Don't you know how to take it back and wash it? Don't tell me you don't even have the money to wash your clothes?" Gu Ruochu smiled and rolled her eyes. "I still have some matters to attend to, so I can't accompany you."

"What do you mean that I don't know how to take it back and wash it? You've ruined my clothes and now you want to leave?" Liu Mengyu roared. When she saw the necklace around her neck, her eyes filled with jealousy.

The person behind her was quite generous.

"Then what do you want?"

Liu Mengyu smiled smugly. "This dress isn't too expensive. I bought it for 399,000. All you have to do is compensate me with 390,000 and apologize to me in public. I'll be generous enough to let you off the hook."

The crowd gasped as soon as they heard the price.

It was only a dress, yet it cost 390,000!

Gu Ruochu did not know why she would have the courage to demand such an exorbitant price. She dared to ask for 390,000 for a dress. She had bumped into her and now she wanted to extort 390,000 from her just because it was a little dirty.

"Ha! So this is a legendary scam?" Gu Ruochu was so angry that she laughed. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Gu Yanwei stepped forward and pretended to persuade her. "Forget it, I'll help Ruochu compensate you for this dress. Mengyu, can you please save some face?"

"Yanwei, you're too kind. If you help a sister like this, she might bite you back!" Liu Mengyu smiled maliciously as she stared fixedly at Gu Ruochu. "You've dirtied my dress and you're accusing me of being a scammer. You must pay for this dress. If you don't have any money, you can write an IOU. Anyway, don't you have an old man backing you? If you don't have enough, you can sleep with him and ask him for it. He'll definitely be willing to give it to you. Yanwei, don't you agree?"

Many of the former students present followed Liu Mengyu and smiled.
