First Day Of School 4

"Mu Xinyan wait" he said as he saw Xinyan leaving again .

"I'm really hungry so I'll go after all ". He walked to her side. He noticed the disappointment in his face when he said no and felt very bad, so he compromised.

"Okay" Xinyan said with a very relieved smile. The two went to get their lunch under gazes of all their classmates.

Mo Xuleo was so angry. The amount of humiliation she recieved today was extraordinary. This was the first time she had been humiliated like this in her life. Everywhere she went, she was treated like a princess.

"Xuleo let's still go for lunch. Look, the boys have left " They later left and went into the cafeteria. The smell of good food soared into their nostrils. Junting middle school had a majority of students from well to do prestigious families, of course they wouldn't slack when it came to their meals.

Mo Xuleo was looking around for where Lu Song and Mu Xinyan were seated the moment she entered the cafeteria.

"Erm Xuleo shouldn't we go order frist"

one of her friends reminded her when they saw looking around the cafeteria as soon as she got in instead do going to get food.

"Yes lets go "

After they ordered and paid , Mo Xuleo spotted them. She smiled sweetly and walked to the table with her friends .

"Bro Song do you mind if we join you" She asked with a smile in a tone that made her seem like she was nervous and shy. She looked really demure.

Xinyan really didn't really like this girl. She didn't like people that behave coquettish like this. It reminded her too much of someone, of somewhere...

She subconsciously frowned thinking of this person.

Lu Song didn't mind Mo Xuleo and her group he had been looking at Mu Xinyan all this while watching how she ate her food.

He also noticed her frown and frowned too. Why did this fly have to bother him here? She had now made his new friend upset. She bothered him at home now here in school?

Looks like he wouldn't be able to ignore this pesky fly anymore ?

"Miss Mo I would like it if you address me formally and no, you may not join us " he said then continued to eat. Mo Xuleo was very angry.

What was so good about this sick girl?

What was so good about the Mu family ?

How could he pick this vixen over her ?

She was from a much higher family than the Mu's . And her family was friends with his, more reason for them to be friends. Her face was red with embarrassment and anger. Her eyes welled up with angry tears.

She had a mischievous glint in her eyes, no one noticed, then she dropped the tray with all the food in it and ran out crying, attracting the attention of most of the students nearby.

Luckily the cafeteria was noisy and soft melodies were being played, if not the whole cafeteria might have heard it.

A cleaner quickly came to handle the mess and everyone went back to normal.

As children of the aristocratic when they weren't sure if they were at the top of the pyramid they'd rather avoid clashes, they didn't know who was who and who knew who.

Everyone looked at their table. This scene was all too familiar for Xinyan. Why did she have to meet the same person but in a different form? This was exactly how all the children at the orphanage stopped speaking with her, was it going to happen again?

She scrunched her brows and continued her food.

After lunch, Lu Song left the classroom and a bunch of classmates surrounded Mu Xinyan.

"You just came here and you're causing trouble "

"How could you tell lies to Lu Song about our Xuleo "

"You just use your beauty to trick people not that you're even as pretty as our Xuleo "

Ofcourse these children have been told by their parents to always help and support Mo Xuleo because of her family's status .

Amidst their continuous accusations and prodding, Mu Xia couldn't let his sister suffer this. Especially because he knew first hand how fake Xuleo could be.

"That's enough" Mu Xia said .

"You guys haven't even asked her side of the story. How do you know Xuleo isn't lying. "

Xia said exasperated

"Ofcourse she's lying because Xuleo would never lie "

"Why would she need to lie to an insignificant sick kid like her ?". A girl said viciously to Xinyan, Xia's face turned ashen

"Enough Qiao Jingjing. Dont say another word about my sister" he said in a harsh voice.

Everyone kept quiet. But Mu Xinyan's heart was filled with warmth as tears of happiness gathered in her eyes. This was what it felt like to have family.

They had never seen him this angry before. Mo Xuleo was going towards the next phase of her plan.

"Bro Xia ... you have to believe me. I just went to ask if I can sit with them then she said I had poor table manners and I ate like a pig so I should not sit with them. She doesn't even know me. I felt very bad. She disgraced me in front of Bro Song ."

Mo Xuleo was sure that that everyone would believe her. Her tears had never failed her. Everyone would fall at her feet once she shed a few tears. And besides Lu Song never talked much so she knew he wouldn't say anything. It always happened like this when they were younger. She would do something and blame the servants. Lu Song would witness it and wouldn't say a thing thus making her think he liked her, when in truth, she wasnt important enough for him to bother.

Mo Xuleo kept crying and everyone looked at Mu Xinyan with hateful looks .

"Miss Mo, Xinyan didn't do or say anything. You came to our table and asked if you could eat with us, I said no and you left crying. Why do you want to frame My Xinyan and deceive everyone here ?" Lu Song immediately said once he entered the class

Mo Xuleo's face turned red with embarrassment. She was shocked. He always covered for her before. Why was today different?

She glanced quickly at Xinyan studying her.

She felt like slashing her face and plucking out her sapphire eyes.

"Xuleo from now on we're no longer friends, I don't like people who cause trouble for my sister " Mu Xia said . He had been looking for ways to end his friendship with this white lotus .

Everyone else went to take a sit no one dared to speak to Xuleo after this except Qiao Jingjing. Jingjing isnt from an affluent family, she had gotten into this school through the scholarship exams. Her mother had advised her to always be friends with Xuleo because they thought she would help them improve their family status. Jingjing consoled Xuleo and then they sat down as the next teacher had arrived.
