Chapter 527: Jealousy Makes People Ugly (3)

At Shen Nian’s words, Wang Chunhua and Qi Yunzhi quickly complied. When they saw Chu Lingxiu wasn’t speaking, they decided to take the initiative.

"Hi, I’m Qi Yunzhi. I’m a local from B City, majoring in business management."

"Hello, I’m Wang Chunhua. I’m from Province W, and my major is English."

Wang Chunhua’s voice was clearly tinged with apprehension, but she still mustered her courage and spoke up after Qi Yunzhi.

The shadow Cao Yuqing had cast over her still lingered. Moreover, this new roommate seemed even more formidable than Cao Yuqing. Deep down, Wang Chunhua was even more worried that this new roommate would look down on her, just as Cao Yuqing had.

Chu Lingxiu’s gaze shifted from Shen Nian to Qi Yunzhi and Wang Chunhua. To her surprise, her eyes held a flicker of emotion.

"Hi, everyone. I’m Chu Lingxiu, a local from B City, and I’m also in business management."

Chu Lingxiu’s voice was a little unsteady, as if she were emotional. ’Her brother was right. University really is a special place.’

"Chu Lingxiu... with a surname like Chu... don’t tell me you’re from *the* Chu Family?"

After hearing Chu Lingxiu’s introduction, Qi Yunzhi stared at her in astonishment. Although she had never been in a position to meet anyone from the Chu Family, Qi Yunzhi was well aware of their existence.

Recalling how easily Chu Lingxiu had managed to swap dorms with Cao Yuqing, it was easy for Qi Yunzhi to connect her to the Chu Family.

However, upon hearing Qi Yunzhi’s words, the expression on Chu Lingxiu’s face changed.

’Here we go again.’ This had happened so many times since she was little. Once her classmates found out she was the young lady of the Chu Family, their attitudes toward her would completely change.

’Just a moment ago, I thought this dorm room was different from everything I’d experienced before. Was it all just my imagination?’

Shen Nian noticed Chu Lingxiu’s reaction and frowned slightly. She could tell there was something very unusual about it.

’Perhaps this young lady of the Chu Family isn’t quite what I imagined.’

Qi Yunzhi, however, failed to notice the change in Chu Lingxiu’s expression. She was still caught up in her own excitement.

"I’ve heard some things about you. I never imagined I’d actually get to be your roommate! But you seem a bit different from how you are in the rumors I’ve heard."

The fawning, insincere words Chu Lingxiu had been expecting to hear never came from Qi Yunzhi. Surprised, she couldn’t help but look up at her.

"Different?"

"Yeah! The rumors I heard made you sound so intimidating, but the person I’m seeing now isn’t like that at all! You’re really nice!"

Chu Lingxiu froze. She was used to hearing things like, "Oh, so you’re the young lady of the Chu Family," "I’m so jealous of your family background," or "What’s so great about being a rich girl?" This was the first time someone had ever said to her, with such a sincere voice, "You’re really nice!"

It was such a simple, straightforward sentence, yet for the first time, Chu Lingxiu felt genuinely touched.

So touched that she couldn’t stop her eyes from turning red.

Seeing Chu Lingxiu’s eyes instantly turn red, Qi Yunzhi grew anxious. ’I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? How did I make her cry?’

At a loss, Qi Yunzhi shot a pleading look at Shen Nian. But Shen Nian felt a bit helpless herself; she hadn’t expected such a reaction from Chu Lingxiu either.
