She lowered her head to look at the fresh fruit, packed in a sealed container, and was puzzled… So who had sent these to her?
The fruit had been washed and sliced, ready to eat, and was packed in a sealed, transparent container. It looked invitingly fresh.
Apart from the fruit, there was also a bottle of milk. How very considerate!
Did her brother send these? Probably not, because if it had been him, he would generally have delivered the stuff himself.
Besides, although her brother would sometimes send her food, he had rarely been so thoughtful as to wash and slice the fruit before sending them over.
Just as Song Wenxin was silently contemplating the fruit, she heard someone behind her speaking suddenly in a sarcastic tone, “Oh my goodness, Song Wenxin. I thought that I had made a mistake but it’s really you!”
Recognizing that sneering voice anywhere, Song Wenxin did not even have to turn around to know who it was.
Ding Ruqian, the Dean’s own daughter, someone who frequently abused the power that her family wielded in the university and lorded it over everyone else, behaving obnoxiously.
She was always strutting around arrogantly with her nose in the air.
Some of her classmates had given her the nickname “The Little Princess”. Of course, it was a nickname that they used only in their private discussions.
Song Wenxin turned around and deadpanned. “Hey, Ding. It’s only been two days since we last met. Are you saying that you are not able to recognize me after just two days?”
Approaching her slowly, Ding Ruqian looked with disdain at Song Wenxin’s outfit, sneering. “You’re all decked up in designer clothes. That’s why I couldn’t recognize you. Don’t tell me these are high-quality knockoffs?” she asked scornfully.
Usually, Song Wenxin kept a low profile and preferred a nondescript, minimalist style of dressing. So today, since she was suddenly dressed from head to toe in what appeared to be expensive designer clothes, Ding Ruqian naturally could not resist making a dig at her with some sarcastic remarks!
“Oh yes, I bought them online at very cheap prices. Shall I forward the URL to you?” Song Wenxin asked obligingly with a smile because she could not be bothered to argue with her.
It was a well-known fact that Ding Ruqian was a highly competitive person. So, if Song Wenxin had admitted that her clothes were in fact, authentic designer clothes, she would end up being continuously harassed by Ding Ruqian.
On the other end, if she fessed up to the fact that her clothes were worthless knockoffs, then Ding would be pacified and not bother with her!
Upon hearing Song Wenxin’s reply, Ding Ruqian’s face was instantly transformed as she sneered gleefully.
“I do not buy knockoffs. Do share the URL with the others,” Ding Ruqian scoffed, giving Song Wenxin a smug look before turning around and strutting away arrogantly.
…
At that time, a classmate close to Song Wenxin, who had come to sit alongside her, exclaimed, “Wenxin, by the looks of it, I don’t think that the clothes you have on are knockoffs!” Staring at the clothes, she commented wistfully that, judging by the quality of the material and the cut of the clothes, if these were really knockoffs, then all the authentic designer clothes would be left unsold!
Song Wenxin did not say a word except to send her a look of helplessness.
Her classmate caught on immediately, understanding what she meant with that look. She gave her a thumbs up and praised her softly. “You did this to avoid being continuously harassed by Ding Ruqian. Smart move!”
…
After the completion of the second period of the morning, the lecturer suddenly announced a field trip to tour the headquarters of a brand.
Song Wenxin was stunned when she heard the name of the fashion house that they were about to visit.
It was DL, a subsidiary of the JS Group owned by Jiang Beihan…
Within the country, DL was a reputable brand of luxury goods with a considerable share of the domestic market. They were also gaining recognition very quickly on the international scene.
Everyone in the class was super excited with the news of the trip to tour DL’s headquarters that day, and Song Wenxin was no exception!
