Chapter 2330 - 2145: Assigning You a Bodyguard (Part 6)

Lu Yaobing didn't say anything and quietly got into the car.

Song Xiaodong's family has more than ten cars, not a single one worth less than ten million.

Zhang Yanhong looked at Lu Yaobing's cold attitude and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Come on, it's not even your car, what are you acting so high and mighty for?" Zhao Wenyu said to Zhang Yanhong.

"Hahaha."

President Li was driving, Zhang Yanhong sat in the front passenger seat, and Wang Fang, Zhao Wenyu, and Lu Yaobing sat together in the back.

With one glance, Zhao Wenyu spotted the necklace on Lu Yaobing's neck, and the bracelet and watch on her hand.

None of them were cheap; pick any one of them and it would equal a year's salary for the three of them.

Lu Yaobing came from an ordinary family, and these things weren't bought by her; they were gifts from Song Xiaodong's wives for her birthday last time.

Back then, although Lu Yaobing knew the stuff her "teachers' wives" gave her probably wasn't cheap, she hadn't really formed a concept of it. After she went back, Zhang Si Rui, Chen Xue, and Jiang Nan envied and resented her, telling Lu Yaobing she'd struck it rich. Only then did Lu Yaobing decide to check how much everything was worth. So she looked up the prices of each gift one by one, and found that the total cost of these things was enough to sponsor her studies all the way to a postdoc, even including living expenses.

"Whoa, Bingbing, you've never been the type to chase brands. What's going on now? Just one look and I can see you're covered in designer stuff from head to toe!" Wang Fang probed, asking Lu Yaobing.

Zhang Yanhong turned around and said, "Wang Fang, don't kid around. Back when we were studying, Lu Yaobing didn't even use snow cream. How could she suddenly become obsessed with brand names just because we haven't seen her for two years? My guess is she accidentally bought knockoffs, most likely."

"No way, right? Bingbing, even if you can't afford the real thing, you still shouldn't buy fakes. If people can tell, that would be mortifying! It's fine now, we're all good sisters, we won't tell outsiders, but if the busybodies in our class found out, they'd mock you every single day!" Wang Fang chimed in.

"Hey, that watch of yours looks nice, let me see?" Zhang Yanhong asked Lu Yaobing.

Lu Yaobing lifted her wrist. She was wearing a watch gifted by one of the teachers' wives, a Swarovski Crystalline Hours, white model, understated yet gorgeous, worth exactly ten thousand yuan.

"Oh Yanhong, how can you be like this? You already 'know' Bingbing definitely can't afford it and bought a knockoff, and you still insist on taking a look. How can you do that? At least leave her some dignity," Wang Fang and Zhang Yanhong put on their little double act.

Lu Yaobing thought, would a teacher's wife give her something fake? So she wasn't worried, and she held out her hand for Zhang Yanhong to see.

Zhang Yanhong grabbed Lu Yaobing's hand and carefully scrutinized it.

"Whoa, Swarovski! The priciest model! This one's gotta be ten thousand, easy!" Zhang Yanhong said.

"Bingbing, back in high school you couldn't even bear to buy hand cream, how come now you're suddenly so willing to splurge on yourself?" Wang Fang asked Lu Yaobing.

"I didn't buy it myself." Lu Yaobing replied.

"If you didn't buy it yourself, who bought it for you? Didn't you say you don't have a boyfriend?" Wang Fang asked.

"Oh… Bingbing, don't tell me you've been kept by some rich guy?" Zhang Yanhong asked Lu Yaobing.

"What are you saying? How could Bingbing be that kind of person?" Zhao Wenyu said to Zhang Yanhong.

"I'm just jealous. I'm always fantasizing about snagging a rich husband and never manage it, yet Bingbing's already wearing a ten-thousand-yuan watch. Looks like college really wasn't for nothing. If I'd studied properly back then, maybe I'd also be some big-shot tycoon's rich wife now!" Zhang Yanhong said.

"It was… from my friend." Lu Yaobing answered.

"Bingbing, you're bragging again. I've noticed that ever since you went to college you've become vain. First you say you've got a friend who runs a beverage factory, then you say someone assigned bodyguards to you, and now you say these things are gifts from a friend. What kind of 'ordinary friend' would give you such expensive presents? Bingbing, just be honest—did you become some rich man's mistress? I've heard loads of rich men like to go on campus to look for young girls to turn into their second wives. Bingbing, don't go astray!" Wang Fang said to Lu Yaobing.

"Yeah, and there are all kinds of pimps who specifically trick female college students, exploiting their vanity, coaxing them into selling themselves. Bingbing, don't let them fool you!" Zhang Yanhong added.

Listening to the four girls talking, President Li increasingly felt that this seemingly pure-looking female college student might just be a whore who looked pure on the outside but was slutty inside.

"Stop talking nonsense, Bingbing's a good kid!" Zhao Wenyu refuted Zhang Yanhong and Wang Fang.

"Bingbing, take it off and let me get a proper look. I really know my stuff when it comes to these things. I can tell real from fake at a glance." Zhang Yanhong said to Lu Yaobing.

Generously, Lu Yaobing took off her watch and handed it over to Zhang Yanhong without worry.

Zhang Yanhong took the watch and examined it closely. All the anti-counterfeit markings were there; it was obviously the real thing.

This was a ten-thousand-yuan women's watch.

Zhang Yanhong clenched her teeth in anger.

Whether Lu Yaobing made the money by selling herself, by being a rich man's kept woman, or by having it gifted by friends, whatever the case, the fact was that Lu Yaobing was wearing a ten-thousand-yuan designer watch, while all Zhang Yanhong had was a one-thousand-yuan watch.

"So, did you see anything off? Is it fake?" Wang Fang asked Zhang Yanhong, gloating.

"Bingbing, I really couldn't tell—your concealment is impressive. This watch is actually genuine!" Zhang Yanhong said, her tone dripping with jealousy.

"It's real? Bingbing, I wouldn't have guessed it. Since when did you become a big spender?" Wang Fang also asked Lu Yaobing in surprise.

"I already said, it was given by my friend." Lu Yaobing said.

Looking at Lu Yaobing's calm, indifferent expression, a surge of fury suddenly rose up inside Zhang Yanhong.

Why? Why is it so easy for her to get into college? Why does she get to live carefree like a proper student? Why can she not earn a single cent while she's studying and still be dressed in designer brands from head to toe?

Just then, the car suddenly made a turn. Zhang Yanhong twisted her body, and in that motion she grabbed Lu Yaobing's watch. She then dragged the sapphire crystal surface hard across the car window, producing a shrill screech of glass scraping against glass.

"Ah!—" Zhang Yanhong let out a deliberately exaggerated scream.

"What happened?" Wang Fang and Zhao Wenyu, who had no idea what was going on, asked Zhang Yanhong.

"Bingbing!" Zhang Yanhong turned her head pitifully to look at Lu Yaobing.

"Bingbing, I scratched up the glass on your watch face!" Zhang Yanhong said to Lu Yaobing with a mournful expression.
