Standing Next To You-Chapter 261: Hypocrite Vs. Fake

Wang Jia bit her lip, her frustration evident.

"How can I not be angry? I never expected you to see me this way. I genuinely consider you a friend. But now you call me a hypocrite? Is this because of Zhong Cheng? What has he done to make you follow him around like a slave?"

Zhong Cheng, observing silently, arched an eyebrow. He contemplated intervening or having his ’student’ remove Wang Jia from their table but received a signal from Bei Sangyun to let her stay.

Understanding Bei Sangyun’s intention, Zhong Cheng refrained from interrupting the confrontation, knowing that a free show was unfolding before him.

Lin Sunji’s eyes narrowed dangerously. "I told you to stop, Wang Jia. Leave now before I get truly angry."

Wang Jia couldn’t believe what she was hearing. In the end, Lin Sunji chose Zhong Cheng over their friendship. It seemed she was disposable in Lin Sunji’s eyes.

Fuming with anger, Wang Jia stood up. "Is this how you treat a friend who’s concerned about you? What’s so special about Zhong Cheng that you can’t stand up to him? He’s nothing compared to you!"

Wang Jia’s move was big, and coupled with her shouting, the students in the cafeteria noticed the situation here.

Observing the commotion, Lin Sunji noticed the attention from other students and the whispers circulating around them, thanks to Wang Jia’s deliberate actions.

Lin Sunji clenched her teeth. "I warned you, Wang Jia. If you truly consider me a friend, you’ll stop now."

Wang Jia regarded Lin Sunji with disbelief. Until the end, Lin Sunji chose Zhong Cheng over and over again. Feeling foolish for standing up for Lin Sunji, Wang Jia’s face reddened with a mix of anger and betrayal.

"So this is who you really are. You discard your friends when you’re done with them. I can’t believe I saw you as innocent and kind."

Lin Sunji’s expression darkened. "...Wang Jia, don’t push me."

Wang Jia smirked back, unable to contain herself. "Why? Are you going to let your lackeys harass others, using my name just like you did with the tyrant?" Once she started speaking, Wang Jia couldn’t stop herself. She was on the verge of exposing all of Lin Sunji’s secrets.

Lin Sunji paled, realizing the consequences. She hurriedly stood up and pulled Wang Jia away. If Bei Sangyun discovered that she was the reason behind her reputation as the ruthless tyrant, there would be serious consequences.

If it were in the past, she wouldn’t have cared. But now, her life and the entire fourth branch’s fate depended on Bei Sangyun. She couldn’t afford to fight against her yet!

"Let me go!" Wang Jia winced from Lin Sunji’s tight grip. She attempted to break free, but Lin Sunji’s hold was firm.

Once they were out of sight, Lin Sunji finally released her.

"What’s your deal? Do you want to ruin me that badly?!" Lin Sunji unleashed the anger she had suppressed earlier. freёwebnoѵel.com

Wang Jia nursed her wrist. Faced with Lin Sunji’s outburst, her emotions flared too. "I should be asking you the same. What’s going on between you and Zhong Cheng? You’ve been spending a lot of time with him lately. You know how he swindled me and caused me to lose a huge amount of money. Because of him, my parents don’t trust me anymore. I can’t even get my allowance freely! I’ve suffered a lot because of him, but you’ve been siding with him!"

Lin Sunji closed her eyes, trying to keep her composure. "Who said I’ve been siding with him?" She took a deep breath. "I told you to mind your own business. Why do you have to meddle in mine and Zhong Cheng’s affairs? It’s none of your concern."

"None of my concern?" Wang Jia’s voice trembled. "You don’t really see me as your friend! I’ve lost so much because of my friendship with you, yet you don’t appreciate or acknowledge anything I’ve done for you. I was foolish to stand by you!"

"You consider me a friend? Don’t lie to my face. You’re only sticking with me because I’m a Lin. You know you’ll benefit a lot from being friends with me. Haven’t you gained many advantages by being associated with me? Don’t play me as the innocent fool, Wang Jia."

The masks were torn, and now they were tearing each other apart.

Wang Jia clenched her fists. She deeply regretted befriending Lin Sunji. If she had known her true colors, she would have chosen the tyrant from the beginning!

Lin Sunji felt the same. If she had known this ungrateful person would bite her back one day, she wouldn’t have allowed her into her circle.

Wang Jia’s eyes welled up with tears. "So this is how you treat those people you no longer use. You’ve been hiding your ugly side behind your Lin mask. You’re right, if you weren’t a Lin, I wouldn’t be friends with you. In fact, no one would want to be friends with you. You’re shallow and fake! No wonder you can’t stand up to the tyrant! At least the tyrant is real and genuine, unlike you."

Lin Sunji was deeply taken aback. Shock quickly turned to anger, flushing her face crimson.

She could accept Bei Sangyun embarrassing her, because she couldn’t fight back. But for a person who surname not even deserving to be in the same line as hers were shaming her in front of her own face, Lin Sunji won’t accept it.

"You’re no different... you’re no different than a parasite!"

"A parasite? Is that how you see me?! You fake!"

Wang Jia was so furious that she lunged at Lin Sunji. Lin Sunji was quick to react, raising her hands and grabbing Wang Jia’s hair the moment she approached.

"It’s you who’s the fake! Hypocrite!"

Wang Jia refused to back down and yanked Lin Sunji’s hair harder. "You’re the bigger hypocrite!"

The two girls fought, pulling each other’s hair, scratching each other’s faces, and yelling at each other to their heart’s content. They only stopped when the bell rang, indicating that the lunch break was over and students began appearing in the hall.
