The entire booth fell silent at the monitress’ words.

Every single person’s gaze shot directly to Luo Nanchu on the sofa.

No matter how luxurious Dark Night appeared to be, it still didn’t have a good reputation in Tong City. Any girl who still had other means of survival would never come to Dark Night to wait tables. Moreover, this was Luo Nanchu they were talking about.

Also, the monitress might have said “waitress,” but who knew if Luo Nanchu was merely a waitress? She was so pretty. After all, the entire city of Tong City knew about her family’s plight from the news on television.

Luo Nanchu swept away the stray hairs by her ears and smiled lightly.

“It was me,” she said while looking at the monitress.

The monitress had an honest face which could not conceal her emotions. Right now, she was smiling with unconcealed pride like she had gotten away with something.

It was at this point that Luo Nanchu understood why the monitress had been so insistent on her attendance. In order to have this moment, the monitress had even hung around outside the booth to wait for Luo Nanchu.

However, they had practically never conversed in her entire life. Since when had Luo Nanchu offended her?

She played with the glass of red wine in her hand as a light, sweet smile formed on her face, imparting a flirtatious quality to her exquisite face.

The men near her seemed to become dazzled by her looks.

The adult Luo Nanchu was exceedingly charming and extraordinarily beautiful.

She was even more gorgeous than when she was in high school.

Upon thinking about the monitress’ words, some of the men gradually started to cast ardent, wanton looks at her.

“Aiyah, Student Luo,” said the monitress, who now put on an upset and guilty look,”I thought that he had mistaken someone else for you… I can’t believe it was actually you. Why did you work as a waitress in such a place? The waitresses here aren’t exactly honorable.”

Luo Nanchu smiled charmingly as she propped her chin on one hand and stated, “I’ve never been an honorable person.”

She looked as if she were neither embarrassed nor in dire straits as she admitted this.

“But you shouldn’t be doing such a shameless thing either.” The monitress was the one who looked embarrassed upon mentioning something like this.

Luo Nanchu smiled an expectedly sinister smile and said, “I’ve got no choice. I’m short on money.”

Countered by such words, the monitress had nothing left to say. She stared at Luo Nanchu for a long while before looking away guiltily.

In a low voice, she muttered, “You could have borrowed money from us if you’re short on money. We’re all classmates, and it’s never nice to see an old classmate wander about destitute in the vicissitudes of life.”

Luo Nanchu thought it would be fun to toy with the monitress.

She smiled lightly and said, “I won’t be troubling you since I’ve already been taken care of. My bankroller is extremely generous and even gifted me a mountain villa.”

She played with her long hair as a flirtatious smile danced on her lips.

The monitress said nothing for a long while as she stared at Luo Nanchu’s breezy smile.

Her resentment toward Luo Nanchu started three years ago.

Academically, she had always been in the top three for the entire three years of her high school career. She did not have Luo Nanchu’s good looks, but it didn’t matter because academics was king in the elite Class Three. She had been appointed as the monitress for three years straight due to her outstanding academic performance.

Thus, everyone thought that she would be able to enter H University.

She thought so as well.

H University was her dream university. Moreover, her examination scores had met the recruitment grades for H University every single time.

Yet, she had flunked the requirements once the university entrance examinations came around.

It was one thing for her to fail like this, but it was another thing for Luo Nanchu, who had always appeared to be a weak student, to actually qualify for H University!

That year, she had almost completely collapsed. Using her connections, she got people to dig up Luo Nanchu’s examination papers from the education ministry. She then hired handwriting experts to appraise the handwriting of those papers and found out that it was indeed Luo Nanchu’s.
