The banknotes fluttered in the air, and Jiang Momo lowered her eyes.

Just then, a piece landed in her hand. She picked it up and examined it for a moment in her palm.

The follower immediately looked like he knew Jiang Momo inside and out.

"Tch, I thought you had some backbone. This little bit of money is enough to get rid of you."

"So the campus belle of Peking University is worthless after all."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Momo threw the money back.

"roll."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

The lackey's smug expression hadn't yet faded when he saw this, and he almost got so angry that he chased after him.

Li Shiqing stopped him.

Li Shiqing gave her a look, then quickly ran behind Jiang Momo and forcibly took her hand.

"Momo, don't go, she didn't mean it."

"Li Shiqing, what exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang Momo looked wary, while Li Shiqing smiled playfully, shaking her arm as if they were best friends.

The other person moved closer to Jiang Momo and whispered in her ear, "I have something you really want; you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Jiang Momo suddenly clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

How could she forget?

I will never forget this in my lifetime.

When she was little, Jiang Momo was in poor health and even had several brushes with death.

Grandma saw it all and was very worried.

Besides doing her best to take care of Jiang Momo and send her to a good hospital for treatment, the elderly woman had no other choice but to seek help from some special channels.

The elderly man braved the heavy rain and walked from the foot of the mountain to the top to get a peace charm for Jiang Momo.

Whether it was a coincidence or her sincerity truly moved the heavens, from then on, Jiang Momo's health improved day by day.

Grandma, however, developed a fever from being caught in the rain, and coupled with years of hard work, she developed chronic illnesses from then on.

Jiang Momo had carried that amulet with her since she was a child.

It wasn't until she went to university that she rejected Li Shiqing for the first time. Li Shiqing held a grudge and stole her lucky charm to get revenge.

But that thing wasn't worth much, there was no evidence, and Li Shiqing refused to admit it, so calling the police was useless.

Jiang Momo thought Li Shiqing had already lost the amulet, but she didn't expect that she had kept it for so many years just to take advantage of her today.

A smug smile curled at the corners of Li Shiqing's lips, even showing a hint of triumphant arrogance.

She smiled and said, "Momo, as long as you come to the class reunion with us, I'll give you that thing as a gift because we haven't seen each other for many years."

It was originally Jiang Momo's stuff, yet Li Shiqing still used the word "gift".

Jiang Momo's eyes bulged with angry hatred.

She wanted to leave immediately; it was just a lucky charm, what was the big deal?

Can……

That was Grandma's heartfelt wish for her, something Grandma had painstakingly obtained by getting it while braving the rain.

Jiang Momo simply couldn't bring herself to ignore it.

She hesitated for a moment, and Li Shiqing did not urge her. In the end, Jiang Momo gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Li Shiqing laughed even more heartily, and took Jiang Momo's hand as they walked towards the others.

"let's go!"

Jiang Momo felt extremely uncomfortable, but she could only endure it.

……

The Kyoto Grand Hotel is not far from the university town, clearly within walking distance, but Li Shiqing still called her family.

They had their driver come and pick them up in the family's most expensive car.

The obsidian black metallic-painted van was parked on the side of the road, and the others, except for Jiang Momo and Li Shiqing, exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, Shiqing, is this your car? It looks so impressive!"

Li Shiqing smiled shyly.

"It's alright. I had the driver drive the worst car in the house, just in case people weren't used to it."

"The cheapest car?! I think this car must cost several hundred thousand."

Enjoying the compliments from everyone, Li Shiqing smiled smugly.

Jiang Momo only glanced at it before losing interest.

She never cared about these things; to her, a car was just a means of transportation.

What's the point of something being luxurious and well-equipped?

Traffic restrictions are not frequently implemented within the inner ring road.

During rush hour, it's nowhere near as convenient as her subway or bicycle.

Seeing this expression, Li Shiqing snorted inwardly with resentment.

What she hated most in her life was Jiang Momo's aloof and self-important demeanor.

Jiang Momo is a human being too; how could she not have desires for money and fame?

Stop pretending!

Li Shiqing grew angrier the more she thought about it. Suddenly, a good idea popped into her head.

"Momo, why do you look so calm?"

Jiang Momo did not answer.

All she wants now is to finish this so-called gathering as soon as possible, get her things back, and visit her grandmother in the hospital.

Li Shiqing suddenly covered her mouth, looking as if she had just realized something.

"I'm so sorry, I almost forgot that you've ridden in so many luxury cars before, you must be used to it by now."

Jiang Momo's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The meaning behind Li Shi's romantic words is quite clear.

Jiang Momo was embroiled in a public opinion storm during her university years, which was said to be because she was kept by a sugar daddy and was picked up and dropped off by different luxury cars when she came and went from school.

Even after she later presented evidence to prove her innocence, Li Shiqing was still punished by the school.

But nobody cares what the truth is.

The forum post has already garnered tens of thousands of comments, and the label of "escort girl" has long been firmly attached to her.

From then on, her image in people's eyes was no longer that of a well-behaved, academically excellent school beauty.

Instead, they are scoundrels who make money by using their bodies.

The fact that Li Shiqing brought this up under these circumstances clearly shows that she wanted to manipulate Jiang Momo.

Or maybe they just want to see her get furious.

But she deliberately prevented Li Shiqing from having her way.

Anyway, there are so many people who don't believe her, so one or two more won't make a difference.

Jiang Momo did not refute or show anger; she simply glanced at Li Shiqing indifferently.

"Are you coming or not?"

Li Shiqing, having failed, gritted her teeth.

He made up his mind to tell Jiang Momo to wait!

"Of course we're leaving."

Her face was practically frozen from smiling all day as she gestured for people to get in the car.

……

Soon the group arrived at the Kyoto Grand Hotel. Li Shiqing seemed very familiar with the place, as if she frequented it often.

Even when she first entered, the people in the lobby dressed as managers greeted her.

Li Shiqing was at the height of her fame and said to the people around her:

"The manager of this store is an old friend of my dad's. Next time you come, just mention my name and you'll get a discount!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't forget Jiang Momo.

They pushed Jiang Momo to the door of the private room.

The waiter stood to the side and pushed open the door, instantly drawing all eyes to this side.

Li Shiqing used force and pushed Jiang Momo inside.

He even waved to her from behind.

"Momo, it's been a long time since you've seen everyone. Go and catch up with them."

Jiang Momo came into view.

The gazes directed at her included curiosity, mockery, and scrutiny.

It's exactly the same as when she was embroiled in a public opinion storm during her university years.
