Chapter 205: Better Than Her?

“Gu Xiqiao,” Baili Bin didn’t answer her, but instead directed his attention toward Gu Xiqiao. She was looking at Fu Xuejun. “Hello.”

Fu Xuejun was surprised, she didn’t expect Gu Xiqiao to react this way. “Hello, Miss Gu.” She glanced at the clothes that Gu Xiqiao was wearing, and smiled as she continued, “I just came back from abroad, so I don’t really understand the culture in the capital yet. Miss Gu, are you also from the capital?”

“No,” Gu Xiqiao replied easily, her expression indifferent and cold, but her tone not giving any impression that she was being impolite.

Fu Xuejun’s heart beat harder in her chest at the answer. “Then, you’re still a student, Miss Gu? Is your family alright with you coming to the capital alone?”

Gu Xiqiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I don’t have any family.”

“Is… Is that so.” Fu Xuejun’s heart froze, feeling a chill from the smile on Gu Xiqiao’s face. But when she looked again, her face had cleared up, leaving only the gentle, indifferent expression on her face. “I’m sorry.”

While they talked, her gaze was fixated on Gu Xiqiao.

Beautiful.

Although she was only wearing ordinary sportswear, it did nothing to hide the beauty of her face. Even as a girl herself, Fu Xuejun was unable to find any flaws in Gu Xiqiao, but she didn’t feel any jealousy in her heart at all.

Having good looks without anything great inside, that was something people called a flower vase.

In this era, flower vases would only be playthings to the aristocrats.

She had gone through the information that Wanqi Jue had given her. After reading it finished, relief had coursed through her. She had initially thought that with Baili Bin’s involvement, the girl must have some special existence. But in the end, she was just a girl that had been raised by a country woman? Compared to people like Fu Xuejun who had been receiving various kinds of education since their childhood, they were practically from different worlds.

Even if Baili Wenxi recognized her, she probably wouldn’t have any thoughts about it. She would naturally let her know the difference between Gu Xiqiao and their family when the time came.

She just couldn’t understand Baili Bin, leaving an upright cousin sister like her and not wanting anything to do with her, but instead wanting a wild type like Gu Xiqiao?

What benefit could someone like that give to the Baili family? Without the support of their Fu family, could the Baili family stand up against the Shi family?

He really couldn’t tell the good from bad!

Fu Xuejun’s eyes darkened at the thoughts that ran through her mind.

“It’s fine.” The expression on Gu Xiqiao’s face didn’t change at all. “I didn’t take it to heart.”

“That’s good.” Fu Xuejun didn’t bother continuing on that line of conversation, and instead said, “I still have a speech to give at A University. Mom, Cousin, Miss Gu, I’ll excuse myself to get ready first.”

She really didn’t understand why her mother had called her to come over here so early in the morning.

As she said those words, she paid attention to Gu Xiqiao’s expression, and as expected, the other looked like she was surprised.

Being able to give a speech as a new student in A University was already an honor.

Fu Xuejun was bored now with the interaction, she had expected to encounter a complicated and difficult person, but she didn’t expect the girl to be so low-key and boring. If she knew, she wouldn’t have bothered coming back in person.
