Chapter 214 - Looks To Die For

Su Mushi came in to find an exquisite gift box on everyone’s table. The design was appealing, reflecting opulent undertones against the muted print. The Situ family emblem was stamped on the packaging too.

This was a Jewel Looks gift set given by the Situ family. As expected from the Situs, the packaging looked exquisite.

With Su Mushi entering the classroom, the top-class students turned to him looking like they had something on their minds.

Unable to spot his own Jewel Looks gift box, Su Mushi turned to ask Yu Qiubai. “Where’s mine?”

Yu Qiubai narrowed his foxy eyes and swept him a glance before nonchalantly pointing at his gift box with a smile. “You can have mine. Give it to Aunty.”

Su Mushi frowned speechlessly.

Su Ruowan drew close and in aggrievance, she spoke, “Mushi, I don’t know if there’s a mix-up on the Situ family’s part, but you and I don’t have the gift box.”

Impatient, Su Mushi turned to leave. “I’ll go ask.”

“Mushi, it’s just a bottle of anti-aging beauty pills. Why don’t we just leave it!” Su Ruowan caught up and pulled his arm.

That was what she said but it was a different story in her mind. Su Ruowan wanted to get to the bottom of why the Situ family did not offer them the pills. Everyone had received theirs while the Su family was singled out. There had to be a reason behind this.

“This is not an issue about the gift box, rather a matter of principle.” With eyes burning with rage, Su Mushi pulled a sour face. “Wanwan, wait here. I’ll get this straight.”

Did the Situ family think the members of the Su family were pushovers?

First Mom, then him and Wanwan. He got it. The Situ family refused them a gift box to leave them out, humiliate them, and look down on them.

Su Ruowan let him be. Her eyes turned red with worry as she resentfully watched him storm off. She knew that Mushi was only embarrassing himself and would not get any answers even if he went.

The Situ family thought nothing of them. The Su family was a nobody to the Situs.

Yu Qiubai headed out with the gift box but stopped at the door to throw Su Ruowan a question. “Do you really not want it? I’ll give it to someone else then.”

Jewel Looks was some good stuff and coveted by the elites lately. A symbol of status and privilege, it was something money could not buy.

One would be regarded highly to have received a gift from the Situ family and no one would be stupid enough to sell it. It was a priceless treasure.

Things had finally quieted down in the international class.

Shen Xi looked at Song Wenye. “So you’re really not going?”

Song Wenye scoffed and pointed at her own nose. “Look at me. Take another look at me.”

“You have looks to die for.” Shen Xi confidently spoke her mind. “You have a bit of chubbiness, but you’ll be the fairest in entertainment in two years if you trim down 5 pounds and grow another five centimeters.”

Song Wenye was anxious. “That’s not what I mean. Do I look like I’m strapped for cash?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shen Xi shook her head and asked her, “Is Situ Zhangyou in showbiz?”

Song Wenye nodded.

“He Pei is in the entertainment business too, right?”

Song Wenye’s eyes were sparkling.

“Fu Qingye is also in showbiz!”

The sparkles in Song Wenye’s eyes transformed from pounding stars into thumping hearts.
