"Classmate Xu, we had a dispute at the beginning of the semester. I apologize and hope we can be friends."

I looked at the heroine standing opposite me, with a sincere and pitiable expression.

I felt that if I didn't agree, I would be too unkind. Unfortunately, I am a stony-hearted person.

It seems she realized she couldn't approach the male protagonist, so she's trying to get close to me as a roundabout way.

"You don't need to apologize. I was in a bad mood that day, but there's no need for us to be friends either."

Ji Shu looked at me with a deathly pale face, as if I'd said something deeply hurtful.

A classmate passing by whispered to Ji Shu, "Xu Qing has always been so arrogant. Who in the school likes to be friends with her? Don't trouble yourself."

Ah yes, yes, yes, I'm just that arrogant, domineering, and hard to approach.

It’s best if everyone stays away from me.

Ji Shu took a breath and said again, "I heard you like the security guard at your house. We have been neighbors since childhood."

Then she winked at me playfully, "I can help you hook up with him!"

I shuddered with goosebumps.

I felt a chill down my back.

"No need. I was blind before, but now I'm cured. Besides, if I end up with a security guard, my dad would break my legs."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Song Shiyan standing not far behind me.

No wonder I felt a chill just now.

I walked up and took Song Shiyan's arm, "Have you finished your meeting? Just now, classmate Ji said she wants to help me hook up, but I think they are quite suitable for each other, and they've known each other since childhood, just like us."

Song Shiyan put his arm around my shoulder and looked at Ji Shu, "Indeed, a perfect match."

Watching Ji Shu's face turn even paler.

"Classmate Ji, as everyone knows, I'm difficult to get along with. It's best you stay away from me, to avoid harming both yourself and others.

"If I go crazy and hurt you, you'll say I bullied you again."

Ji Shu ran away covering her face, and the surrounding classmates were already used to it.

I turned my head and looked at Song Shiyan, who was being all gentle, "Don't you think I'm bad? Someone wanted to be friends with me and I made her run away."

Song Shiyan rubbed my earlobe, "Very cute, some people just aren't suitable to be friends."

My ears felt itchy and a bit warm.

I guess Song Shiyan was jealous when Ji Shu said she'd play matchmaker for me.

Two days later, Zhou Yu approached me, asking if I could be nicer to his benefactor.

I glanced at him sideways, "She said she wants to play matchmaker for me and the little security guard."

Zhou Yu instantly exploded, "No way! Absolutely not! Even if you never get married, you can't marry that security guard."

I nodded in agreement.

If I remain single, I'll be a rich, beautiful woman; if I marry a security guard, I'll be a woman suffering from domestic violence.

Zhou Yu left happily after seeing that I agreed with his view.

I felt like I've been on guard against the three male protagonists.

Ji Shu shouldn't be able to get close to them again.

Unexpectedly, something still happened a few days later.

Soon, online rumors spread about me bullying classmates and acting recklessly at school due to my family background.

Even more outrageous were claims that I had ulterior motives towards male artists under my family's company.

There were photos of me from the time I quarreled with Ji Shu.

Compared with the pitiable-looking Ji Shu in the photos, I appeared even worse.

Soon, the internet was full of scolding, and some people even went to my company's headquarters to protest.

They said they wanted to boycott my family's products.

My dad directly issued a statement using the company's account, "If my daughter commits murder, endangers public safety, the police will educate her. I'm still alive, so there's no need for netizens to worry. Do netizens now also want to manage other people's temperaments?"

Soon, some school classmates came forward to clarify, saying that although I didn't get along well with classmates, there was no real bullying.

I had always mentioned being hard to get along with, advising them to stay away from me.

Netizens quickly seized on the photo of me and Ji Shu, saying I was unfriendly to classmates.

Zhou Yu sat next to me, laughing while reading the netizens' accusations against me.

"Who said you must be friendly to classmates? When faced with people you don't like, you still must be friendly? If you have extra kindness, why not use it to help stray animals?"

I silently gave him a thumbs up. Finally, some sensible words came out of his mouth.

I used my own account to post a recording.

That day when Ji Shu stopped me, I feared she would stir up trouble, so I turned on my phone's recorder.

"I heard you like the security guard at your house. We have been neighbors since childhood."

"I can help you hook up with him!"

Netizens fell silent after hearing this.

"Why do I feel this woman has bad intentions? She wants to pair a lady of high standing with a security guard?"

"What kind of weird CP is this? I can't support it at all."

"I suddenly feel that Xu Qing was polite not to scold her on the spot, and she's still putting on an aggrieved look for whom?"

Someone posted, "But I feel she had good intentions."

Someone immediately replied, "Then you take this 'good intention' and marry him."

That person never replied again.

Netizens quickly swayed their opinions.

Some even started shipping, "I feel like Xu Qing's dad dotes on her, I also want a dad like this."

"Indeed, if I could earn this much money, no way would I let my daughter suffer and look at other people's faces all the time."

"This sister lives very transparently, she doesn't consume herself internally, gained a new fan."

In the comments, some people even started calling me "wife."

Suddenly, I felt a bit amused. Sometimes netizens can be quite adorable.

Song Shiyan's face turned dark as he turned off the screen.

He muttered softly, "I haven't even called her that."

A crisis turned into an opportunity to gain fans, indeed a blessing in disguise.

When Ji Shu and the little security guard came to find me, I called out to them from afar, "Don't come over!"

Having both of them approach me at the same time felt like a double attack.

Ji Shu said she wanted to talk to me, so I went aside with her.

Now that things are public, I'm not afraid of any more tricks from her.

"I've always been curious about what virtues you have. You're an arrogant, bad-tempered rich girl, yet managed to get others to like you.

"I thought I had successfully won them over, but in the end, my efforts were in vain because of your death."

I looked at her in shock. What did she mean by that? I remember she had already succeeded before my death?

"Now I seem to understand. You've always been yourself, without any ulterior motives around them. In this regard, I indeed lost."

Just as I was about to ask her about the wasted efforts.

Someone ran towards us from a distance, "What are you guys doing?"

I turned around and saw Zhou Yu running towards us from a car.

He looked at the two people in front of me with disdain, "Stay away from her, bad luck."

Then he dragged me away.

"......"

I didn't even get to ask my question.

But looking at Zhou Yu, who held me with a concerned face, I suddenly felt relieved.

Why should I delve into the ending of the novel?

I only need to know that now we all have a good ending, without repeating past mistakes.

With friends who have grown up with me, parents who are healthy, and no family bankruptcy.

I looked at Song Shiyan waiting by the car.

Hmm, and someone who loves me.

This is already the best ending.
