Lin Qi is a gentleman, and this was just a friendly joke on his part. In the end, he took the initiative to resolve the slight embarrassment between the two, and did not force Anna to call him "uncle."

"Have you always been like this?" Anna stood next to Lin Qi and walked side by side. Although Lin Qi made a very malicious joke and choked her for a long time, reality is reality. Before her father comes back, she must maintain this seemingly harmonious relationship.

Sometimes people living at the bottom always yearn for the Upper Class life, always thinking that as long as they have money and status, they can escape the cruelty of fate.

But in fact, even if you have money, there will still be some things that make people helpless, such as people who are richer than you, or people who are more important. These people always exist. Don't expect to deceive yourself by saying "no one is more important than me".

The higher you go, the more real and ruthless this society becomes, just like Anna at this time.

She is obviously very rich, has an enviable surname and father, and has everything that can be obtained without any effort. Ninety-five percent of people are looking forward to the dream of "if I can be her...".

But they can't see that behind the glamor, sometimes it's not so satisfactory, and there are also many troubles.

Those who are so angry that they are oppressed and exploited by their bosses can throw the report in their hands at the boss's face, point it at his nose and tell him "I'm not fucking going to do this anymore."

Sometimes they have nothing, so they are not afraid of losing anything again.

Anna can't, even if she really doesn't like Lin Qi, she must accompany Lin Qi at this time until Patu comes back, this is Upper Class.

You can hate someone, but that's just your own business. The entire social structure revolves around a rule. You can't bring your personal emotions into it. Doing so will be a violation!

Anna accompanies Lin Qi, which is the job assigned to her by her father. If Lin Qi leaves during this process, then it will be her who is ultimately at fault anyway.

Just like what Lin Qi said, he and Patu are two independent natural persons who interact equally, and they are equal, so Patu will not think that the cause of the unhappiness between them comes from Lin Qi.

As long as it is not a principled error, most mistakes will ultimately be attributed to Anna.

She enjoys things that others cannot enjoy, and she also has to endure some things.

"Me?" Lin Qi tilted his head and looked at the female classmate who was shorter than him, "What's wrong with me?"

"It makes people angry!" Anna said it seriously. She was really angry. Although Lin Qi said it was just a joke, for a moment, she almost shouted the title "Uncle Lin Qi".

This made her feel very ashamed. Regardless of whether she shouted it out or not, she actually lost and lost in her heart.

"You're here?!" Lin Qi was just about to say something when a very familiar girl's voice sounded in his ears. If he guessed correctly, it should be Sai Weiruila.

As expected, the latter came over quickly with some surprise. She kept saying sorry to the ladies and gentlemen who had been disturbed by her, and quickly came to Lin Qi's side.

In fact, moving quickly in this situation would make people feel very impolite and lacking in education, but when people's eyes touched Sai Weiruila's young and perfect face, the displeasure on their faces turned into tolerance.

Everyone knows that Wo Delike is just such a daughter, and she will definitely inherit everything Wo Delike has in the future, unless her father suddenly has several illegitimate children before his death.

How could you show displeasure when treating such a lovely, young and beautiful lady.

Lin Qi captured something very subtly the moment she turned around. The hand of Anna next to her was hanging on the edge of the skirt, clutching the skirt tightly. There seemed to be something between her and Sai Weiruila? "You didn't tell me you were coming!" Sai Weiruila stood facing Lin Qi. Only one day had passed since they discussed writing matters together, but such a day rarely made Sai Weiruila feel a bit... long.

This was something that had never happened before. She had been carefree since she was a child, and she never felt that time would stop for such a long time. Some methods that were originally interesting and could quickly kill time gradually became boring.

This is why Wo Delike had to take her out. His daughter was inexplicably depressed, and he wanted to take her out to relax.

Lin Qi chuckled. In Sai Weiruila's eyes, Lin Qi's smile was golden. Her attention was attracted by his smile, "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't mention it to you."

Although today's event is not a formal and serious event, it is not the kind of socializing that comes just for socializing. After all, there are still many things to talk about, and there are many important people attending. The correct way is to bring a female companion. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have one.

Lin Qi thought Wo Delike would bring his wife, but he didn't expect it was Sai Weiruila.

Sai Weiruila actually didn't care about this at all, "We..." She wanted to continue yesterday's topic. She spent a boring night thinking of some new ideas. She hoped to get Lin Qi's approval, because in the girl's eyes, Lin Qi was very knowledgeable in some aspects.

But before she could say her words, Anna, who was standing next to Lin Qi, suddenly took a step forward and said, "Sister Sai Weiruila, good afternoon..."

Sai Weiruila's eyes moved to Anna's face reluctantly. The two looked at each other for a while, and the girl's enthusiastic smile cooled slightly, "I didn't see you just now."

"I've been standing here." Anna countered.

"Really?" Sai Weiruila put away her smile without caring, "Hello, Miss Anna." She just looked at Anna as if she had changed into a different person.

This was the first time that Sai Weiruila let Lin Qi see her "edge". She said "Hello, then" and left Anna where she was. This sentence left Anna with no way to continue.

She can't always say "Yes, I'm fine, sister Sai Weiruila" or "I'm actually not fine at all, ever since I saw you." Plus, the look and attitude Sai Weiruila looked at Anna at this time, almost everyone can feel that Anna is a "superfluous" girl.

Anna's hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt. This is the second involuntary thing that Upper Class people don't want to encounter. People always compare each other - this is not something that happens in ordinary social groups.

And here, people's attitudes will be polarized. They show great tolerance to those marginalized people who are no longer qualified to inherit the core resources and have given up on themselves and fallen.

Regardless of whether they are arrogant or indulgent, or they are eating, drinking, and gambling, as long as they do not touch some core issues of principle, everyone will treat them very tolerantly.

So tolerant that some people who are treated strictly begin to doubt life. Who is the lucky one?

But for other people, some heirs who can inherit core resources, people will be extremely picky about them. Even if they use an extra piece of paper to wipe their butts, people will talk about it.

Of course, no one will really talk about how much paper the two girls used to wipe their butts. This is just an example and a little joke.

This also reflects some of the problems that these "elites" need to face. They must ensure that they look better than others, at least it seems so.

Sai Weiruila has published a book and has her own fashion brand. These are not all her own ideas, but she must do it.

Because everyone else is doing it, everyone is "making something from scratch". If you don't do well, people will put pressure on her and at the same time say "Wo Delike should have another child, his daughter is not worthy of inheriting everything from him"! Therefore, even if two people have never had any deep contact, but are always compared by people, they will not show that kind of intimacy and happiness when they meet.

In the comparison between Anna and Sai Weiruila, Anna is obviously at a disadvantage. This is probably because her father has more children. Patu will not support her in anything without any bottom line. In this regard, she loses to Sai Weiruila.

All her competitiveness now is actually to prove to people that she is actually no worse than Sai Weiruila.

The two girls stared at each other, one noticed this, but quickly looked away, not wanting to get into trouble.

After a few seconds, Sai Weiruila took the initiative to change the topic. In fact, Anna didn't say anything further at this time. She had already lost the confrontation.

"What were you talking about just now?" She stood next to Lin Qi naturally, with a curious look on her face, "I didn't know you knew each other."

After the initial confrontation and someone came out victorious, the atmosphere relaxed greatly.

"I went to Saint Secheka for an interview today and happened to meet Miss Anna." Lin Qi answered.

Sai Weiruila looked at Lin Qi in surprise, "I thought you would choose Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Academy in the south, which is closer to York State."

There is also Saint and Harmony Society Alliance's college in the south. Compared with Bu Peien, it is obviously closer to Lin Qi's current residence, and his travels are more convenient. Unlike Bu Peien, it takes a day or two every time he comes, which is too far.

The girl's expression changed immediately, "So, you are my junior?"

Sai Weiruila also graduated from Saint Secheka College. Her best-selling book "《How to Quickly Integrate into University Social Circles》" was written when she was in school at Saint Secheka. That place has a very special feeling for her.

Coupled with some of the things she chatted with Lin Qi, she already had some new ideas. Based on some suggestions given to her by Lin Qi, she planned to write a new campus novel, then adapt the script, and promote its release!
