Endless Pampering Only For You - Chapter 365

Thus, she said, “Me and him… We’re childhood best friends. Our families were long-time friends and we’ve known each other from the day I was born. Our relationship was really good when we were kids, and we played together often until I came to the States.

“So it’s like that…” William was deep in thought for a while. No wonder this girl had fallen so hard.

Mu Xiaoxiao was eating a piece of cake with her fork when someone tapped her on her shoulder so hard that she almost smashed face-down onto the cake.

“Oh, so it’s you, Mu Xiaoxiao. I was wondering who it was that could make my cousin bring someone up here specially.”

A cutesy voice rang out from behind her.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t need to turn back to know who the owner of the annoying voice belonged to.

Mu Xiaoxiao slapped the table as she cast a sidelong glance at Betty. “I don’t think we’re that close. You don’t have to give me that warm of a welcome,” she said.

Betty was also a student of the school Xiaoxiao had studied at in America. They were both in the same year, but she wasn’t as popular as Xiaoxiao was, and she had her limelight unknowingly stolen by Xiaoxiao often. Thus, she looked upon Xiaoxiao as her rival.

Even though Betty was William’s cousin and William was on extremely good terms with Xiaoxiao, this did not endear them to each other to become friends.

Even though Mu Xiaoxiao never provoked anyone, Betty would do so occasionally.

However, since William was here, the most Betty could do was be sarcastic towards Xiaoxiao, for she didn’t dare to do anything extreme.

This, however, made her hate Xiaoxiao even more. Why did she think of countless ways to try to please her cousin, while the girl she hated was good friends with him? Also, Betty often felt jealous at how well William treated Xiaoxiao.

Betty gave a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “You’re my cousin’s good friend, so it’s natural that I give you a warm welcome. If not, who knows if you’ll speak ill of me to him?”

William held an extremely important position in his family, and it was almost certain that he was going to be the new heir. Thus, he had absolute say in things, and a casual remark of his could make Betty’s life a living hell.

In William’s family, many of the younger generation all wanted to win William over and please him badly, and Betty was no exception. Thus, even though she really hated Mu Xiaoxiao, she didn’t dare to go overboard in front of William.

Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands and smiled. “I never care for people whom I never think are important, so you can relax about this,” she said.

Mu Xiaoxiao was implying that Betty was a nobody in her eyes and thus wasn’t even worth badmouthing about.

Betty’s face soured immediately, but she didn’t dare to do anything to Mu Xiaoxiao due to William’s presence. She could only endure the insult and retort back with her words.

“Mu Xiaoxiao, what is it about about your family going bankrupt? Wasn’t that why you returned to China, that backward country? Why did you come back to America? Did you suddenly realize that you could leech onto my cousin to make money off him?”

Mu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. “Since when has my family gone bankrupt? Where did you hear that from?”

She looked towards William curiously, because William also studied at the same school as them, albeit in an advanced year. However, he should still be aware of any school rumors, right?

William was amused, and he spread his arms in confusion. “I’ve never heard of that.”

The Mus going bankrupt?

That was the biggest joke of the century!

However, his dimwitted cousin didn’t know the actual extent of influence of Mu Xiaoxiao’s family, so she uttered such a dumb statement.
