Chapter 409: Chapter 409

"He Yuanlin shook his head, "If I were you, I would just keep a low profile, find somewhere to hide, stay away from all this, instead of boasting and lying here."

Ever since Gu Wenjuan had appeared in everyone’s sight, those who were interested in her had turned her life upside down.

Whether it was her family background or her personal abilities, neither was enough for He Yuanlin to target or deal with her.

But that did not mean he could let her boast here.

He Yuanlin looked at Gu Wenjuan with a clearly disdainful look in his eyes.

Gu Wenjuan wasn’t stupid, she had always known that this senior had a problem with her. She forced a smile and said, "Senior He, I’ve always respected you as a member of the student council, but that doesn’t mean you can slander me. I am not lying; I really am Young Master Yu’s secretary."

He Yuanlin obviously didn’t believe her and said, "You, who crawled up from the bottom, with atrocious academic results and from the bottom-ranked class, a latecomer to boot, you don’t have what it takes to even step into the Yu Family’s doors, let alone be Young Master Yu’s secretary? Hah, you talk as if it’s true."

Gu Wenjuan was accustomed to enduring in silence, swallowing her anger.

But now, Gu Wenjuan couldn’t help it anymore and said angrily, "So what if I crawled up from the bottom? I can still be Young Master Yu’s secretary. I am now an employee of the Yu Family, and that is a fact. Senior He, even your jealousy is useless!"

Gu Wenjuan was very agitated and looked extremely angry.

Seeing her angry , everyone around knew that things were not going well.

Song Youli and Zhuang Ziqi exchanged worried glances.

Had they gone too far?

They only intended to make Gu Wenjuan lose face in front of everyone.

With that thought, Song Youli went to pull Gu Wenjuan back, saying, "Alright, Wen Nuan, stop talking. He Yuanlin just has a foul mouth..."

"Song Youli get out of the way, let her talk!" He Yuanlin seemed really unafraid of escalating the situation and said to Gu Wenjuan, "Stop joking. Jealous of you?"

Gu Wenjuan retorted, "Isn’t that the case? You look down on me for climbing up from the bottom, thinking I am inferior to you in every way, and yet I managed to enter the Yu Family!"

Song Youli quickly held her back, "Enough, both of you stop..."

"Don’t be too full of yourself," He Yuanlin said contemptuously, "Someone like you isn’t even fit to carry my shoes, oh, that’s right, don’t think I despise you because you come from a poor family. I have plenty of friends who are poor, but they are all deserving of my respect because they are modest and unflustered by honor or disgrace, unlike you, who thinks you can brag just because you’re in a place where no one knows you. Don’t think you can compare with Zhuang Ziqi just because you’re at the Zhuang Family’s place. You, a crow, will always be a crow. Even if you fly to a branch, you can’t become a phoenix!"

More and more people gathered around, and Gu Wenjuan felt the piercing stares as if scalding water were poured on her. Staring at He Yuanlin with red, teary eyes, she burst into tears, "You..."
