Hearing the mocking and playful laughter of the people around her, Lin Yanxi felt a surge of blood in her chest, as if she were about to spit out a mouthful of blood at any moment.
Just a moment ago, she could still advise herself not to be impulsive.
Now, she simply couldn't hold it back anymore, no longer able to suppress the surging rage in her heart.
Lin Yanxi's originally fair and delicate face instantly flushed red, her body trembling with anger as she extended a shaking finger, pointing straight at Shen Shuang.
"Shen Shuang, you did this on purpose! You definitely intended to see me make a fool of myself!"
At this moment, Shen Shuang put on an innocent look, shrugged, and said,
"Lin Yanxi, what kind of madness is this now? What do you mean?"
Having said that, Shen Shuang seemed to have thought of something.
She turned around and asked Jiang Cheng and Jiang Churan, who were standing to the side, "Big shot, the car you drove today wouldn't happen to be a bugatti, would it??"
Lin Yanxi's actions had already left Jiang Cheng, who was standing nearby, somewhat dumbfounded; he nodded blankly.
One could only say it was beyond ridiculous—completely and utterly absurd!
He really hadn't expected that when girls give gifts, the schemes could run so deep.
Usually, if a guy wanted to make someone feel uncomfortable,
It was nothing more than two ways: either don't give a gift at all, or show off in front of them.
However, a situation like this involving such a bait-and-switch was a first for him in all his years.
Shen Shuang's words were very pointed, and Lin Yanxi immediately panicked.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, her eyes revealing panic and confusion.
Today's gathering was hosted by Shen Shuang.
Among the people present, except for one or two who were close to her on a regular basis and also on good terms with Shen Shuang,
Most of the others were Shen Shuang's friends.
At this moment, Lin Yanxi felt her mind go blank, completely unsure of how to handle the situation before her.
She instinctively reached out and grabbed the exquisite Chanel bag sitting on her seat.
After picking it up, she even stepped forward and snatched the Dior bag from Shen Shuang's hands.
From beginning to end, she didn't say a single word.
Then, she stomped her heels hard, making a series of sharp, loud "clack-clack-clack" sounds, and left the private room directly, her face full of rage.
Watching Lin Yanxi's retreating back as she fled in disgrace,
Shen Shuang's eyes darted around, a fake smile appearing on her face.
She then turned her gaze toward the girl who had been echoing Lin Yanxi's sentiments just now.
She said sarcastically, "Xiao Xue, why does the person you brought have such a big temper? Today is my birthday, you know~~ Why be such a buzzkill~~"
Hearing this, Xiao Xue's expression instantly became somewhat awkward.
She and Shen Shuang had met at another party.
At the time, they both enjoyed skateboarding.
Their shared interests quickly made them familiar with each other, and they added each other as friends.
Shortly after, Xiao Xue happened to meet Lin Yanxi by chance.
They were all moving in the same social circles.
As for the friction between Shen Shuang and Lin Yanxi, Xiao Xue naturally knew something about it.
However, the family backgrounds of these two were quite similar, and their status was comparable.
She didn't want to easily offend either side.
Just yesterday, Lin Yanxi suddenly found Xiao Xue to ask about the specific location of the party Shen Shuang was hosting.
Maintaining the stance of not offending either side, she told her.
So strictly speaking, she didn't really bring her, right?
Moreover, Lin Yanxi had been carrying such a large Dior bag just now.
Seeing this, not only her but everyone else present thought Lin Yanxi had really splurged this time.
Buying a whole bunch of gifts and coming specifically to make peace with Shen Shuang.
So even though they knew she and Shen Shuang didn't get along, most people still looked at Lin Yanxi with admiration.
Seeing the situation like this, Xiao Xue had spared no effort to back her up.
Constantly praising Lin Yanxi for being so generous and lavish.
She hadn't expected Lin Yanxi to be such a poser.
Even if Shen Shuang hadn't exposed Lin Yanxi's true face on the spot today,
When she got home at night and opened these so-called "gifts," she would probably have been livid.
After all, everyone present had seen Lin Yanxi carrying that huge Dior bag in.
They all thought she was so generous.
Using such a large bag of gifts to gain a reputation for generosity, only to end up giving two samples.
Hearing this, Xiao Xue hurried forward, waving her hands while explaining anxiously.
"Shuang Shuang, I really didn't know things would turn out like this. Please don't take it to heart. Today is your birthday, and being happy is the most important thing. Don't let such trivial matters bother you."
Shen Shuang stopped there and didn't say anything more.
After Lin Yanxi left, the atmosphere in the room instantly lightened up.
Although everyone had actively split into two factions after arriving.
One faction was Shen Shuang's well-off friends from outside school, and the other was her friends from inside school.
Originally, everyone was gathered in their own groups, chatting and doing their own thing.
But Lin Yanxi had to come and keep posing, making the atmosphere quite awkward.
