Cai Yingxue looked at the people in front of her—three boys and two girls—all of them ninth graders. Their families were actually quite well off, but they spent lavishly, buying luxury items and attending various parties, leaving them with little savings.
She felt contempt for them deep in her heart.
Clenching her fists, she said, "I don't have money."
As she was about to leave, they blocked her way, surrounding her. One of them, the leader, said, "How about we find a place to talk properly?"
Cai Yingxue felt utterly helpless at that moment.
She glanced at the surroundings. All the students and teachers had left. She regretted not leaving earlier.
At that moment, a security guard patrolling the area saw them and shouted, "Why haven't you left yet? What are you doing there?"
Cai Yingxue was about to speak, but the leading boy responded, "We'll leave after we finish discussing our matters. Don't worry about us."
