Gu Qingxin knew she could not escape today. She resignedly closed her eyes, waiting for the painful slap to come. However, after a long wait, the expected slap never landed. Instead, she found herself being pulled into a solid embrace.

A fragrance of sandalwood mixed with tobacco emanated from the man. She opened her eyes and saw Beiming Han gripping the wrist of the hand that was about to hit her.

“You… Young Master Beiming.” The man was completely taken aback, he hadn’t expected Beiming Han to intervene when he was about to teach a drink promoter a lesson.

Who was Beiming Han? The eldest young master of the Beiming Family, a family that controlled the economic lifeline of the country. Even though rumors said Beiming Han was not favored by Mr. Beiming, it did not impact his status and position.

“Get out.” Beiming Han coldly rebuked, pushing her away by placing his palm on her waist.

Gu Qingxin took two steps back, picked up the drinks from the coffee table, and somewhat awkwardly left the private box.

As she stepped out of the box and the heavy door slowly closed, she seemed to hear a faint cry of pain.

Her heart was still pounding violently. She walked swiftly, hoping to leave this place as soon as possible.

Taking the elevator to the first floor, she stepped out and was met by a group of guests laughing and walking towards her. The group consisted of men and women, all dressed elegantly and seeming full of life.

Gu Qingxin didn’t lift her head, intending to go back and rest for a while. As she brushed past the group, someone called out to her.

“Gu Qingxin? Is that Gu Qingxin?”

A loud female voice sounded. Initially, no one had really noticed her. Now, all eyes were fixated on her.

Gu Qingxin turned to face the crowd. They were her high school classmates.

Back when Gu Qingxin was in high school, she was still a part of the Gu Family. As the daughter of the Gu Family, she naturally attended the best private school in the city. The students attending this school were either wealthy or noble, so the group standing in front of her were all famous rich second generations.

“Is that really Gu Qingxin? Why is she selling alcohol here?”

Someone asked in confusion. Could the Gu Family had gone bankrupt? But it was not possible, just a few days ago, he had seen President Gu dining with his father.

“Gu Qingxin, you’re Miss Gu of the distinguished Gu Family. How could you stoop to such lowly work?”

The girl who had just called out to her walked up to her, hands on her hips, a proud look on her face, feeling incredibly satisfied. In high school, Gu Qingxin had been the school beauty for several years, always outshining her. She had almost hated this woman to death.

In the afternoon she had received a call from a stranger, telling her Gu Qingxin was working as a drink promoter at Kase. She didn’t believe it at first, but after enduring years of humiliation, she wouldn’t let go of any chance to trample on Gu Qingxin.

“I am earning my keep, making money based on my own abilities, and 1 don’t see that as degrading.” Gu Qingxin replied calmly. Though dressed in the simplest of work clothes, she still held an air of invincibility.

“Gu Qingxin, if you’re short of money, just tell us. We can donate to you. You shouldn’t degrade yourself like this, we’d feel really bad.”

The boys looking at the girl before them had greedy looks in their eyes. At Saint De High School, Gu Qingxin had been likened to the Snow Lotus on Tianshan, pure, beautiful, and unattainable.

Now that she had fallen, the boys were itching for a chance.

No wonder she was the school beauty–even in regular work clothes, she still exuded an irresistible charm..
