"Of course it is."
Gu Nuan Nuan retorted, "There are direct bus routes that stop right at my school and my front door. Why would I go out of my way to bother my parents or my uncle for a ride?"
"Of course, it's so people don't look down on you," Lin Qiao said, her eyes wide with confusion. "Isn't that why all those other students have their families drive them? If you don't show people your family's status, they'll just look down on you. Just like they did before."
"What does it matter if they look down on me or look up to me? I don't have to care about any of that," Gu Nuan Nuan said, shaking her head.
"...You're right..." Lin Qiao sighed. "You can certainly afford to be that proud."
