This was Li Mei.
At first, I froze, and slowly turned to face Li Mei, a classmate who had always resented my place in the Zhen Family, even though she was living it better than me.
Flanked by two other haughty girls who had a smug smile on their face. They were her friends, I could smell it..
Her eyes raked over my simple outfit and then the shimmering display case.
She sneered, her eyes glittering with malice.
"Tell me, Zhen Yi, can you even afford to look at a diamond like that? Or are you just here for the free air conditioning?"
My gaze settled on hers, cold and sharp. "Can you?" I replied a hand on my hip, the two words hitting her like a slap as her face flushed red.
She wasn't expecting that, was she?
