Chapter 324: Far Inferior to Me

Chapter 324: Far Inferior to Me

After the New Year, South City University reopened.

At the school gate, a graceful young lady stepped out of her car with pride. The moment she appeared, she became the center of attention.

Ji Shu, the campus beauty of South City University, drew a crowd of boys who flocked around her, offering their warmth and attentions.

But today, her moment in the spotlight was short-lived because a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up behind her.

Aju, dressed in a custom-made black suit, got out of the car. His stunningly handsome face and extraordinary demeanor instantly sparked cheers from the girls and envy from the boys.

Standing tall and upright, he adjusted his cuffs and gently opened the passenger door with his elegant hand adorned by an expensive watch.

A young lady wearing a limited-edition luxury brand outfit stepped out. She had a delicate appearance and a fresh makeup look.

The keen-eyed crowd immediately recognized her as Liu Ling, Aju's girlfriend who had recently been in the news.

Such an ordinary-looking woman, with a common background, had become the girlfriend of the prestigious Aju! It was truly enviable and infuriating!

Liu Ling had grown accustomed to these envious and jealous gazes and learned to handle them calmly.

Today, she was pleasantly surprised that Aju had offered to drive her to school. She knew this was his way of publicly declaring his feelings and acknowledging her status.

Before meeting Aju, she never imagined she would arrive at South City University in such a world-class luxury car.

She sweetly took her bag from Aju and, gathering her courage, leaned into his embrace for a light kiss on his handsome face.

Oh my God!

The surrounding girls erupted in shock!

Liu Ling's fair cheeks flushed with a touch of shyness. She whispered, "Aju, thank you for driving me to school. I'll go in now."

Aju's brow slightly furrowed, but his expression remained unchanged. He nodded, "Mm."

As he turned away, Liu Ling asked hopefully and cautiously, "Will you come pick me up after school?"

Aju thought for a moment, "Yes, but it might be late."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Liu Ling was overjoyed, "Drive safely, bye."

Then, she walked into South City University under the envious gazes of the other girls.

Ji Shu glared coldly at the woman who had stolen her spotlight and clenched her fists tightly.

After getting back into the car, Aju rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his discomfort. Eventually, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wiped his cheek vigorously.

At that moment, a flashy sports car sped past, nearly brushing against their vehicle.

Yun Mu, sitting in the passenger seat, felt her heart skip a beat and instinctively glanced out the window. However, she only saw a blur of white light and could not make out anything clearly.

With recent treatments, her eyesight had improved enough to see some light, but she still needed more time to fully recover.

Ji Ming slowly parked the car at the entrance of South City University, and Yun Mu undid her seatbelt and stepped out.

Unexpectedly, she stumbled on a stone and fell to the ground with a cry.

"Ah Mu!" Ji Ming hurried around the car and anxiously helped her up, "Why didn't you wait for me? Look at your hands, they're scraped and bleeding. It must hurt!"

Both of her tender palms were scraped and bleeding slightly.

Yun Mu withdrew her hand and said, "I'm not completely helpless; this is nothing serious. I'm not that fragile."

"I want you to be fragile! Wait here, I'll get the first aid kit to treat your wounds." Ji Ming gently blew on the cuts on Yun Mu's palms.

In the black Rolls-Royce Phantom, Aju suddenly heard a familiar voice exclaim, and his heart ached sharply.

He immediately turned his head and looked into the rearview mirror.

Beside a familiar red sports car, the Young Master of the Ji family was anxiously helping a young lady in a white sweater.

The young lady's back was to him, revealing only her slender figure and long, wavy black hair.

Just seeing her back made him feel an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

When he heard her say—

"This is nothing serious; I'm not that fragile."

His breath caught in his throat.

It reminded him of a girl from his memories who had once said the same thing.

Just as he was about to open the car door, he saw Ji Ming leading the young lady into the gates of South City University, looking like a couple.

Aju sat back in his seat and bitterly pinched his temples.

He wondered if he was losing his mind.

He then stepped on the gas and sped away.

When Yun Mu turned around, she saw nothing.

"What's wrong?" Ji Ming asked her.

She shook her head, "Nothing, just a feeling. You can leave now; I'll go in myself."

"But you can't even recognize the way."

"Surely I can't have you by my side as my crutch all the time?" Yun Mu smiled faintly.

Ji Ming said seriously, "Why not? I'm more than willing to be your crutch!"

At this moment, Princess-like Ji Shu walked over and looked at her brother with disappointment.

"Brother, you are the Young Master of our Ji family, not a servant of the Yun family. Can't you have some dignity?"

Ji Ming glared at her, "I want to, now get out of the way!"

"I won't!" Ji Shu stubbornly stood in front of them, biting her lip. "I'm your real sister. You'd rather drive someone else to school than me. What will those classmates think of me?"

"I've never driven you before either. Are you having a mental lapse today? Besides, you can see just fine; do you really need me to drive you?"

Ji Shu glanced at Yun Mu and gritted her teeth, "Then go back, I'll drive her to class."

"Forget it, what tricks are you up to now?" Ji Ming didn't believe his sister was being so kind.

Ji Shu huffed, "Who is she? Do I have the ability to play tricks on her?"

Ji Ming thought for a moment, "That's true. Ah Mu, would it be okay if Ji Shu takes you inside?"

Yun Mu nodded, "Sure, you can go back."

After Ji Ming left, Yun Mu turned to Ji Shu and said, "You have something to say to me, don't you?"

Ji Shu was taken aback, "How did you know?"

"I've watched you grow up. You've never liked me. Why would you suddenly be so kind as to take me to class?"

Ji Shu sneered, "You're right. I've hated you since childhood. My brother is the Young Master of the Ji family, a noble descendant of royalty. Why should he follow you around like a lackey? Especially now that everyone says your face is disfigured and your eyes are blind, you're even less worthy of my brother. So I advise you to leave my brother sooner. My parents are already planning to arrange a match for him."

Yun Mu was slightly stunned, "Who told you my face is disfigured?"

"Then why have you been wearing a veil since you came back?" Ji Shu then smirked triumphantly, "Besides, even when your face wasn't disfigured, it wasn't that pretty. It was far worse than mine!"

Where does she get this confidence?

Yun Mu inwardly scoffed.
