Chapter 122 - The So-called Best Friend
As she turned away, she heard the girl's voice from behind, " Long time no see, Xie Ming."
She stopped in her steps and looked at the girl who was smiling haughtily.
Xie Ming stared at her blankly, as she has no memories of this girl. But hearing her words, she seems to know the real Xie Ming.
That girl looked at Xie Ming and got annoyed as she got no reaction. She thought that Xie Ming at least shout or say something mean to her and in turn, to that she will pretend to be pitiful and victim.
But to her surprise, Xie Ming stared at her like she doesn't even remember her. This made her blood boil.
' How could she forget me? Such a pretentious bi*ch. " the girl in short white dress thought.
But rather than saying anything, she just smiled at her and said," Xie Ming, why are you looking at me like this. Don't tell me you forgot about me? "she asked her.
Xie Ming furrowed her eyebrows, and said," Do I have to remember you? I am sorry but it must be my brain that forgets 'unimportant' things. " she said with a fake smile on her face.
She doesn't even remember her, so it must be because she is not that important. And moreover seeing the girl's behavior, it looked like she does not have a good relationship with Xie Ming.
The girl got frustrated, she tried to maintain her smile and folded her hands in front of her chest and said, " Oh. Not a problem. I know you lived abroad for long, so it's possible. But I am sorry, that your dad broke ties with you. You must be alone in that foreign country. I understand that it must be tough for you, for all these years. "
She said with a sarcastic tone. Though to many people, it seems, that she was trying to be nice but Xie Ming understood her meaning.
She raised her eyebrows at the girl, ' She knows about Xie Ming's family, so it seems that she is related to Xie Xinyi.' thinking this possibility she felt amused.
' The shadow of Xinyi will not leave her behind' she smiled thinking this.
She looked at the girl and said, " Seems like you know the things more than necessary. But before that, care to introduce yourself? Because I don't have any recollection of you." she said with a straight face.
Hearing her words, the face of another girl turned crimson red. The people around there heard Xie Ming's words and started whispering.
She was utterly humiliated. She took a deep breath and said while clenching her jaw, trying to maintain her temper.
" Xie Ming, how could you forget your best friend? Yes. I am your best friend Qin Jia, whom you forget after making your new party friends."
" I am really upset that you forget your best friend from your school time. You should not forget your friends like this. I was so worried about you after you went abroad after that incident. Even Xie Xinyi was so sad after you left. After all, you're her sister. " she said with a smirk.
When Xie Ming heard her words, she started to rummage her mind to remember anything about girl QIn Jia. Yes. Xie Ming has forgotten about her, as she considered her not so important in her life.
She was Qin Jia, the so-called best friend of Xie Ming.
She was best friend of Xie Ming through junior school, or at least from Xie Ming's side.
But Qin Jia was with Xie Ming, as her grandfather was rich and her family was not doing financially well.
Before becoming friends with Xie Ming, she was bullied by others for being poor and was even labeled as a slut.
But one day, Xie Ming came to her rescue and from that day, she sticks together to Xie Ming no matter what.
Because of Xie Ming's grandfather, her studies were sponsored by him. Her family was poor and she was being forced to drop out of school, at that time Xie Ming asked her grandfather to help her.
She was practically living on Xie Ming's family. Though she was glad that she found Xie Ming, but she was equally jealous to see her happy.
Her mother and father loved her, her grandfather was not only rich but very powerful. She was jealous of her. She was beautiful, smart and confident. She has everything and compared to her, she was nothing.
Her grandfather even gave Qin Jia's father a job in Lu corporation.?But when their High school started, Xie Ming's life crumbled in one night. Her mother died, while after only a few days her father brought his mistress and a daughter.
And not only that when she joined her school, she gets to know that Xie Xinyi will also study in the same school. She was angered to death.
She was already stuck in her problems when Qin Jia came to her saying that Xie Ming's grandfather has kicked her father out of the company even make him arrested.
At first, she was baffled, but later Xie Ming's grandfather told her that Qin Jia's father tried to take money from the company by forging with the accounts.
And the sum of the amount was no small.
Because of this reason, Xie Ming told her that she can't help with anything. But she didn't break their friendship.?Qin Jia was angry at Xie Ming and take it as her being haughty. Xie Xinyi took advantage of this situation and asked her father to help Qin Jia's father and he did.
This made Xie Ming's best friend to her side. So in later days, Xinyi tries to be a victim whenever she gets a chance and Qin Jia always spoke for her and fights with Xie Ming. Xinyi used Qin Jia to deal with Xie Ming while standing behind the curtains.
Of course, it's all their show. They wanted to humiliate Xie Ming in front of all students. They played many dirty tricks on Xie Ming, but she was strong so she stood headstrong.
They even tried to spread rumors in school that Xie Ming has tried to seduce a guy who liked Xinyi. And he denied to be with Xie Ming, so she threw herself on him and tried to take his advantage by kissing him forcibly.
These kinds of rumors spread like fire in the school, ruining her reputation in the school.
