The Xia Family and my family have been close friends for generations and are also business partners.
Both families had intended to bring us together, and before the college entrance examination, they arranged for me and An Zhizhi to attend the same school and major.
An Zhizhi has always been smart, kind, and generous; in my eyes, she is the most perfect girl in the world.
I have always regarded her as a goddess, but she has always treated me with indifference.
The dinner was planned by our families to celebrate the start of the school year, but its sudden cancellation must be related to that post.
I sent An Zhizhi a long message explaining everything, but after a long time, there was no reply.
When I opened her social media profile, I found it reduced to just a single line.
Even her signature had changed to: "Sloppy scammer boys, stay away."
I was so angry that I couldn't find the words, feeling a deep sense of frustration inside.
Meanwhile, Xiao Bailiang deliberately shouted, "It's so annoying! Why are so many girls adding me? My schedule is full; it's really bothersome."
I instantly felt a surge of anger.
But soon enough, reality hit him; because of his flaunting of wealth, he began to be treated as an ATM by various ill-intentioned people.
One moment he was drinking with one senior girl, the next he was gaming with another classmate, and every few days he was invited to participate in various club activities.
He pays for everything.
There were a few times when he really didn't have any money and didn't want to be the fool anymore, but others would retort: "Aren't you supposed to be the son of a livestock tycoon? Why are you so stingy over such a small amount? Were you just pretending before?"
Today's young people are as shrewd as monkeys.
They understand that since some people are willing to flaunt their wealth and spend money, they might as well play along with the act.
After all, if you can benefit just by flattering someone, who wouldn't want to do it?
Xiao Bailiang has put himself on a pedestal, unable to climb up or come down.
As time went on, credit card bills and various IOUs began to pile up on his table.
My roommate and I kindly reminded him that he couldn't keep pretending to be wealthy, but he lashed out at us in anger.
Alright, alright, let's drop the urge to help and respect his fate.
Let him be; let him self-destruct.
After Xiao Bailiang started borrowing money, his temper worsened, and he basically argued with my two roommates every day.
And each time, he dragged me into the fight.
"The dormitory is public, I can do whatever I want. If you can't stand it, just ask Rich Guy to take you to rent a place."
I really don't understand how I offended him. We've only known each other for less than a month, so why does he have such hostility towards me?
Since I was young, my parents taught me to value harmony. Our family isn't short on money, and they encouraged me to be generous and not be so calculative.
I remembered my parents' teachings, so I immediately transferred three thousand yuan each to Li Yang and Zhou Qi, with a note saying it was for rent.
After transferring the money, I took out a limited edition pair of basketball shoes from my wardrobe, which I had prepared as a gift for our meeting.
Li Yang and Zhou Qi were instantly stunned, then they let out a series of shrieks.
"I can't believe it! My brother is so impressive; he really transferred money to me!"
"And this pair of shoes is a limited edition Jordan! They're being sold for six figures in the resale market, and you can't even get them!"
But Xiao Bailiang said sourly, "He's just an inexperienced poor kid. It's just a pair of shoes; is it really that big of a deal? I've got plenty of those."
Even though he said that, he couldn't help but keep glancing at the shoes.
Li Yang immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, are you talking about those fake shoes you bought on that discount site? Who's the one who's inexperienced here? Don't make me laugh to death."
Xiao Bailiang's face visibly turned red, and he stammered while pointing at Li Yang, unable to say anything coherent.
I took the shoes and handed them to him, "I also prepared these for you; they happen to be your size."
He hesitated for a long time, but finally reached out to take the shoes. However, the moment he touched them, I quickly pulled them back.
"I forgot, you have plenty of these shoes. Since you don't need them, I'll just give them to the security guard downstairs; they happen to be the right size."
I may be generous, but that doesn't mean I'm a fool. Besides, who doesn't know how to disgust others?
Xiao Bailiang's face turned even redder than before. He kicked over a chair and pointed at me, cursing: "Gu Tianjun! Don't think you're so great just because you have some money. What are you bragging about? You're just spending your parents' money." He continued, "Let me tell you, I'm not poorer than you, and soon I'll be richer than you. Just wait until then; you'll be crying in front of me!"
What a joke.
Is it a crime for me to come from a wealthy family?
Or does he think that as long as someone has money, they can act recklessly and bully others at will?
This boy in front of me should be full of sunshine and energy, yet all I see in him is a twisted disposition.
After finishing his rant, Xiao Bailiang stormed out, not forgetting to throw the shoes harshly on the ground before leaving.
What a weirdo.
