After ending the call, Zhang Xiqing plastered a delightful grin on her face. She was eagerly looking forward to the moment when the snobbish Jiang Yao and her husband would be ridiculed.
The next morning, a group of students surrounded the university bulletin board. Wen Xuehui grimaced in great dismay when she and Jiang Yao walked out of the crowd.
"Gosh! The freshman representative has changed from one person to two!" Wen Xuehui grunted irritatingly. Although she had not returned home yet, she knew that the Zhang family had most probably done something that fascinated the university leaders.
"Never mind, I don't care anyway," Jiang Yao arched her eyebrows and said. Moe had already told her about it this morning, though she wasn't sure where he got the news from. However, seriously, she couldn't care less about the selection of the freshman representative. The Zhang family had decided to donate one block of dormitory building in the west district of the campus, which the university repaid the favor for by selecting Zhang Xiqing as the representative, but because the announcement was made yesterday, they decided that both girls would be the representatives and each of them was given fifteen minutes for their speech.
Wen Xuehui was right. Zhang Xiqing's parents did not have enough funds to invest in the construction project of the entire western district. Hence, they could only donate a new dormitory building, although the university was delighted by their generosity because something was better than nothing.
Zhang Xiqing saw Jiang Yao and Wen Xuehui from a distance away as she headed in their direction. Unlike the harsh reaction yesterday, she called their names from afar and sprinted towards them with a large smile on her face, then said in a humble tone, "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I misunderstood, I hope you can forgive me."
Jiang Yao thought that Zhang Xiqing had come to them to show off about the news, but unexpectedly, she was apologizing for what she did yesterday with such a humble and sincere tone and the arrogance she displayed yesterday was nearly non-existent.
Jiang Yao would have believed her, but thanks to her instinct and the experience she gained from her previous life, she doubted Zhang Xiqing's intention.
"In order to express my sincere apology, I'll arrange for dinner tonight. Let's get together, shall we? Qi Xiang will invite your husband to join us."
