Liu Qianqian's chin trembled slightly, and her eyes reddened. She was deeply hurt, yet her tone was devoid of any emotion.
"Friends?!"
Yang Xiu laughed loudly. "His name is Chen Zheng, right? You say you're friends, but I don't believe a word of it!"
Liu Qianqian took a deep breath. "Whether you believe it or not, we are just friends. Besides, my affairs have nothing to do with you. What right do you have to interfere?!"
Her lack of hysterics or emotional fluctuations was a sign of true disdain.
In fact, Yang Xiu was also quite pitiful. He was abandoned by his parents as a child. If Liu Qianqian's parents hadn't taken him in, he might have starved to death in his village. Liu Qianqian's parents provided for him and supported him through school. Despite the great pressure on the family, they never treated him unfairly.
Yang Xiu was sensible, too. He not only excelled in his studies but also helped with chores from time to time. Liu Qianqian's parents were very fond of him.
