“Yes. Auntie Ji said that bad people will be punished by the heavens. Weiwei must be careful,” Yun Wei responded, accepting the necklace from Hua Shasha and making a fist.

Hua Shasha and Bai Wenping laughed, looking slightly embarrassed.

But, having successfully swapped out the diamond necklace, Hua Shasha and Bai Wenping were nonetheless exceptionally happy. Without wasting time with useless chatter, they set about discussing their plan for the night.

Hua Shasha began, “In Year One at university, besides for Yun Wei, our little rich girl, we have Jian Zhifei, who’s also wealthy and very well-connected. Furthermore, her family is local, so we should definitely try to become friends with her.”

“Her eighteenth birthday party is tonight. We should get her a nice gift,” Bai Wenping said, agreeing wholeheartedly with Hua Shasha.

“About the gift… it will be this diamond necklace, to be used to accessorize her dress for tonight,” she said. She’d already planned everything out. Preening, she announced, “Our Miss Jian has a penchant for diamonds.”

Promptly, Bai Wenping said, “Let’s not waste any time and get there early.”

Yun Wei watched, deep in thought, as they left the apartment.

The university that Yun Wei attended was very reputable, one of the best in the country.

This university was most well-known for its strict admission criteria—one had to sit and pass an extremely challenging exam to be accepted as a student at this university.

In fact, the university’s exceptionally challenging acceptance criteria were well-known across the globe.

Also, once accepted into the university, despite the relaxed and open learning environment, the students faced the same stringent standards in every semester’s test or annual exam.

Any student who didn’t make the grade in an exam would, at the very least, have to re-sit the exam, or worse, repeat the entire course. It was also probably that they’d be advised to leave the university altogether.

Regardless of the student’s family connections, whether they came from a powerful and wealthy family or an average, middle-class one, everyone was treated the same.

The university’s consistently stringent and fair standards and their inclusiveness were the reasons why their graduates were all disciplined and law-abiding citizens who did well in life.

And that was why everyone clamored to get accepted into this university.

Yun Wei recalled how hard she had worked to get accepted into this university.

Jian Zhifei was Yun Wei’s classmate. Miss Jian hailed from a wealthy and powerful local family, and a lot of the students fell over one another to cozy up to her.

Both Yun Wei and Jian Zhifei were accomplished students in class and ranked as the top two.

However, because she’d been out of action these past three months due to not begin her usual bright self, her schoolwork had surely taken a big hit.

Today was Jian Zhifei’s eighteenth birthday, and Hua Shasha was going to go to her party wearing the fake diamond necklace that she’d scammed off Yun Wei.

God knows what the outcome of that would be.

Naturally, Yun Wei didn’t want that fraud Hua Shasha cozying up to Jian Zhifei.

Since Yun Wei now knew that Hua Shasha planned on using the fake diamond necklace to get into Jian Zhifei’s good books, she had to find a way to stop her.

But Jian Zhifei was a member of the upper echelon, so her coming-of-age party would definitely be a grand affair, which meant she’d need a formal invitation to attend it.

And, since she and Jian Zhifei weren’t really that close, she hadn’t received an invitation to her party.

Frowning, Yun Wei returned to Lu Zhanting’s apartment.

Auntie Ji hadn’t left yet and was still around. She had merely put up a show earlier when she’d announced that she was leaving.

Instantly noticing that Yun Wei looked deep in thought, Auntie Ji asked, “What is it? What’s happened?”

“I want to attend a classmate’s birthday party, and I’m thinking about how I can get my hands on an invite,” Yun Wei explained, motioning that it was nothing for Auntie Ji to worry about.

“Which classmate?” Auntie Ji asked promptly, hoping to see if she could be of any help.

“Jian Zhifei,” Yun Wei replied.
