CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 465: NOTHING MORE THAN THAT

But she felt a bit regretful that she couldn’t confront Lin Fu face to face and pay her back for the losses she once suffered.

However, that didn’t affect her good mood since she was now the most coveted socialite in the nobles’ circle! As long as she avoided Celia, who she heard was close to Lin Fu, she’d be fine; if Celia knew, there would be trouble.

That’s why today’s party had been arranged at the school dormitory.

A group of boys and girls were having a blast, drinking copious amounts of expensive alcohol, all eager to flatter Xia Youyou and Tang Xue Fei with what they loved to hear.

"I’ve long found Lin Fu disagreeable; she’s too full of herself."

"Exactly, everyone only supports her as a leader to make her work hard for them, and she really thinks they mean it, which is absurd."

"She’s from a remote planet, with shallow experience—too prone to bloating."

"Lin Fu does have some talent, and if she could humble herself to learn properly, perhaps her future would look quite promising, but unfortunately, she made the wrong choices," someone said with a face full of regret and a sense of superiority.

"It’s also her own lack of depth; even if good fortune falls into her lap by marrying Major General Fu Xing, she wouldn’t be fit for it."

"Right, right, right. That makes sense."

Xia Youyou wore a smug smile, finding pleasure in what everyone was saying.

Only He Shu, standing in an inconspicuous corner, listened with a heart filled with dread, occasionally looking around, anxious to please Xia Youyou yet afraid of offending Xu Jinglan. Speaking of which, He Shu harbored a lot of resentment; she had known Xu Jinglan for so many years and yet couldn’t compare to Lin Fu, whom Jing Lan had only known briefly.

In the recent newcomers’ competition, Ye Fei had participated, but He Shu hadn’t been able to, and she firmly believed it was Lin Fu messing things up behind the scenes that caused her to be left out. But perhaps it was for the best that she wasn’t chosen; otherwise, she might have ended up dead on Helheim Star.

But that was only her good luck and couldn’t hide the fact that Lin Fu had sabotaged her behind her back.

And then there was Xu Jinglan, whose attitude toward her had drastically changed since returning from Helheim Star, as though she had turned into a different person, despite all the effort she had previously made to please her—such a heartless betrayal. Now that she was soaring high, she turned her back without remorse.

How often she had comforted her, helped her, and tried to cheer her up, yet she had never appreciated it.

Even this party was only suggested after making sure Xu Jinglan had left, held in dormitory 2277.

By the time Xu Jinglan returned, the party would be over.

"He Shu, why aren’t you speaking?" Tang Xue Fei glanced at He Shu, a mocking glint in her eyes and deliberately raised her voice, "Now that you’ve thronged to our side, stop thinking about the past, you hear?"

He Shu, earnestly frightened, curried favor by saying, "I’ve long drawn a clear line with the past, I can’t get along with them."

"You know what’s good for you!" Tang Xue Fei finally looked satisfied, scornfully saying, "A dead person is just that, nothing more."

Xu Jinglan and Ye Fei, overhearing from outside the door, were enraged. They couldn’t bear it any longer and viciously kicked the door.

The thick door was unexpectedly kicked flying by Xu Jinglan, crashing through the ceiling with a loud bang during the party, breaking the crystal chandelier, and finally slamming into the wall.

A loud bang ensued.

Which stupefied everyone in the surrounding dormitories.

"Ah, ah, ah!!!"

"Help!"

Many were terrified, scampering around, not even knowing what had happened.

He Shu immediately saw Xu Jinglan’s intimidatingly grim face and shivered out of fear, regretting her actions a bit.
