Chapter 5 Meeting Yang Feng

Murong Xue heard some whispers and saw others looking at her and pointing at her from time to time when she walked into the classroom. She didn't know her classmates well because this semester had just begun. But everyone knew she was the daughter of the Murong Family. Besides, someone spread the rumor on purpose, which made Murong Xue the laughing stock of the school. Murong Xue frowned and realized that the great trouble was caused by that incident related to Yang Feng a few days ago. She thought she should find a chance to clarify. Seeing this, Xiao Keli gloated inwardly. But she went to her seat without showing her emotion.

"Morning, Aili!" Murong Xue greeted a girl who was leaning on the table next to her with a smile.

The girl Murong Xue greeted was Mo Aili, the granddaughter of Mo Changfeng who was the leader of the warlords in this country. Her identity was kept a secret. No one found out who she was even after graduation in Murong Xue's previous life. Her grandfather was a big shot after all. It was a necessary move to prevent others with ulterior motives from using her.

Murong Xue knew it because she found out something fishy about Xiao Keli before she was imprisoned in her previous life. She found out something about Mo Aili's identity by accident when she was investigating Xiao Keli. She was truly surprised at that time. She must make a few close friends in this life. Otherwise, like her previous life, no one would mourn over her death. She didn't want to have such a lonely life again.

"You're here. Are you feeling better?" Mo Aili looked a little worried. She didn't ask anything else, like the Yang Feng incident. She just showed her concern. She had been hearing others talking about Murong Xue these days. But she didn't care about those gossips. Besides, she hadn't known Murong Xue very long. But she didn't think Murong Xue was that type of people who would try to hug a handsome man by force but was tripped over instead. As for becoming close friends, she needed to observe Murong Xue for a while. She had a special identity after all.

"Much better. Thank you." Murong Xue could tell that Mo Aili was truly worried about her. She was moved and also felt that Mo Aili was a nice girl.

Their teacher came in before they could talk more. Murong Xue who lived again decided to study hard. Xiao Keli always took her out to have fun in her previous life. Her grades slipped and she even failed the exam. And this brought shame to her family. And her family members disliked her more and more.

Murong Xue went through her textbooks carefully during class. She was determined on reacquiring the knowledge that she had left before. She noticed a strange phenomenon soon. She could memorize those contents after reading them once. She was gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory. Was her brain reshaped after the rebirth?!!! Murong Xue didn't know it was because she was connected to the Phoenix Space. The function of her brain was at its maximum because of it. Retentive memory was just a small benefit.

"Aili, let's have lunch together!" Murong Xue said to Aili who just stood up after their morning classes were over.

"Okay. Let's go. There's a good new Shinese restaurant near our school. How about having lunch there?" Aili was a little surprised about Murong Xue’s invitation. But she agreed happily as well. Murong Xue and Xiao Keli had always been together before. She barely invited others to have lunch together. To be honest, Mo Aili really didn't like Xiao Keli. She didn't know why. But Mo Aili always found Xiao Keli wasn't so innocent as she appeared to be.

"Xue, wait for me." Xiao Keli ran towards Murong Xue when she was about to walk out the door.

Murong Xue couldn't do anything but wait for Xiao Keli. She didn't want to do so. But it wasn't the right time to turn against Xiao Keli. She had to bear her. Mo Aili stopped as well and watched Xiao Keli walking towards them. They were classmates after all. Even if they weren't close, Mo Aili was too well-bred to refuse to have lunch with her.

They arrived at the Shinese restaurant. Its elegant decoration looked quaint. The tables were separated by jade screens with bamboos and orchids planting in between, making people feel comfortable.

"Oh, Feng, isn’t that your admirer? She's so well-informed that she found out that this is your restaurant. You're really popular among girls." Murong Xue saw Yang Feng and his friends coming towards her when she followed the waiter to her table. It was true that one really couldn't avoid his enemy. They met again. And everyone looked at Murong Xue with mockery in their eyes after hearing what Yang Feng's friend said. What was going on? He said it as if it had been a real thing. She didn't do anything. But she felt there was nothing she could do to restore her reputation.

"Nonsense. Miss Murong come here just for lunch." Yang Feng was 185 centimeters tall. He was handsome. He looked dashing in a lazy way in the white sportswear. He was worthy of all the infatuations.

Xiao Keli couldn't get her eyes off him since the moment he showed up. She planned to find a rich guy in school and marry him later. After all, both of her parents were dead. Although they left her money, the money would be spent some day. Besides, it was hard for her to marry a man from a rich family given her status. She had to find her way in through those silver-spoon kids. If she could get the guy to love her deeply, his parents might not be able to stop him from marrying her. The Yang Family was among the richest families in A province. Also, Yang Feng was so handsome. Xiao Keli surely had her eyes on him. She just hadn't found a way to get close to him yet.

Murong Xue also noticed Xiao Keli's shy look. Humph! It was interesting. Xiao Keli liked Yang Feng. How could she miss it in her previous life? She should help Xiao Keli. Otherwise, she would miss a great show. Mo Aili just stood there minding her own business. She didn't say anything. Anyway, she hadn't been there before, so she didn't know what really happened.

"Yang Feng, I'm sorry for what happened before. I just accidentally tripped. I didn't expect to cause so many rumors. I hope you aren't bothered. How about buying you lunch to make amends since we're both here?!" Murong Xue said with a smile.

Murong Xue was easy-going and gracious, without any affectation. Seeing that, Yang Feng was fonder of her. He thought he might misjudge her. So, he nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Let me introduce them to you. This is my friend Mo Aili and this is my distant cousin Xiao Keli." Murong Xue introduced those two casually after sitting down. She didn't always promote Xiao Keli as she used to in her previous life. She wanted to see how Xiao Keli managed to move into the upper classes without her help and the assistance of the Phoenix Space.

What was wrong with Murong Xue? Didn't she tell Murong Xue to introduce her as a good friend? In the past, Murong Xue always did as what Xiao Keli told her. And she always promoted Xiao Keli when she introduced her by saying that they were closer than biological sisters. And this made Xiao Keli feel proud. What was going on with Murong Xue today? Xiao Keli's smile disappeared at once. She could hardly maintain her gentle and sweet disguise.

Murong Xue didn't care about the look on her face. It was just the beginning.

"I'm Bai Zihao, Yang Feng's best friend. Nice to meet you all." Bai Zihao was totally different from Yang Feng. He had a bad boy vibe. But it wasn't repulsive. Instead, his bad-boy vibe attracted a lot of girls.

Xiao Keli stopped staring at Yang Feng after hearing what Bai Zihao said. She didn't know how rich Bai Zihao's family was. However, he could make friends with Yang Feng. His family should be rich enough. She should also pay attention to him. It wasn't a bad idea to list him as a backup. She didn't consider whether he would like her or not at all. How dare she list him as a backup? People would be shocked by how shameless Xiao Keli was if they knew what she was thinking about.
