The gathered university students couldn't help but burst into laughter, whispering to each other at the scene.
Lina smiled and motioned for Gia to sit down as they continued eating calmly.
Violet's face turned flushed and pale, her eyes wide with disbelief. She wanted to retaliate but lacked experience, only able to point at Lina for a prolonged moment before uttering, "You..."
Some wealthy students who disliked Violet's pretentious and arrogant behavior now sided with Lina, mocking Violet openly.
"Violet, what Lina said is true. Why are you getting so upset?"
"That's right. The princess never sets foot in the cafeteria. It's a rare sight to see her here. No wonder they're treating her like a pet!"
"Hahaha... Stop it, or they might start serving you dog food too!"
Amidst their laughter, those individuals departed.
Violet took a few deep breaths before approaching Lina and leaving with a final insult.
"Get over yourself. You have no idea what's coming your way... Watch out!"
Gia rolled her eyes in disdain, unimpressed by Violet's behavior.
Never did Gia imagine that Violet would target her instead. "Hey, Gia, did you get a new bag?"
Taken aback, Gia instinctively hid the bag behind her.
"It seems like you're doing well lately. Did you really find yourself a wealthy boyfriend? Or did you engage in some shady business to afford that designer bag?!"
"You..." Gia abruptly stood up, staring at Violet with anger.
Like a provoked animal, Violet continued to provoke. "Lina, even your best friend is now rich, yet you continue to dress like that. How can you two look like best friends when you're together? Gia, you should share your newfound wealth with your best friend too! What's the matter? Don't want to talk about it now?"
However, she suddenly lost her appetite when she recalled Lina's mocking words as she looked at the food in front of her. She threw everything into the trash can after playing around with the cutlery.
Peace was regained in the cafeteria.
Lina comforted Gia while putting food onto her plate. "Don't mind her. Eat quickly. It won't be good when it's cold."
"Lina…"
"Hmm?"
Gia bit her lip. "W-Why are you so good to me?"
Lina was stunned. She then chuckled and said, "Why did you ask that out of nowhere? Aren't we best friends? Who would I do this for if not you?"
"But would you still be friends with me if you found out that I did something terrible to you one day?" asked Gia.
