You Just Don’t Get It, Rich People
OnGoing
After Lin Zhiyan was admitted to an elite aristocratic school, her friends teased her, saying she’d landed the classic Cinderella script—now all that was missing was the prince.
After all, the school was practically a cradle for the heirs of warlords and nobility, teeming with the second and third generations of powerful dynasties. Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyan was like a modern-day Cinderella: poor family, stellar grades, melancholic and aloof, with dark eyes that shimmered like ripples when she smiled.
"So, any romance in your new school?"
Her friend wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Lin Zhiyan only smiled.
The school was just as stratified as the world outside. While some students brawled and destroyed public property worth millions, she worried about the rusting rain corroding her family’s home. While others cruised around in luxury cars and star cruisers, she woke up at dawn to wait for the bus. While they partied with champagne, she pulled all-nighters working side jobs.
Rather than dating them, she’d much rather plot their assassinations.
So, with clear, unflinching eyes, Lin Zhiyan simply said, "Studying is more important."
Amid all the injustices, grades were the one constant fairness.
At least, that’s what Lin Zhiyan thought—until certain people effortlessly had her scores suppressed, then casually asked if she needed "compensation."
Lin Zhiyan: "..."
Her face remained smiling. Her fists were clenched like steel.
Later, when these same people confronted her in a frenzy, she kept her smile intact and said earnestly, "Ah, you sky people just wouldn’t understand."
But when she tried to walk away, it was their turn to smile. "Ah, we sky people don’t care to understand."
Lin Zhiyan: "..."
Now it really was impossible to explain.
