Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Gu Lingling’s work arrangements have been finalized.

As one of the top students in the entire department, naturally several departments were competing to have her.

”Lingling, please look after us in the future,” Tong Sha said with a smile, holding wine, ”After being roommates and classmates for four years, now we’ll be colleagues.”

Gu Lingling smiled and raised her teacup, saying, ”I can’t drink alcohol, let’s substitute tea for wine.”

”How can that be suitable?” A girl who had a decent relationship with Tong Sha said, ”Tong Sha is drinking wine, and you’re drinking tea; that’s not good.”

Gu Lingling pursed her lips. Her alcohol tolerance was just a bit better than Hao Lianlian’s, who would get drunk from one glass of beer; she’s a bit better, with two glasses.

”Sorry, I can’t drink alcohol.” She had promised Brother Yang not to drink outside in the future.

”Then Tong Sha, drink tea too.” The girl glared at Gu Lingling, ”Don’t take advantage of others.”

Gu Lingling was quite bewildered.

Where does this girl’s hostility come from?

Besides attending classes, she rarely stays at school, and seldom participates in events, so she only knew the girl’s name, as she’s in the same class.

But they hadn’t really interacted, hardly exchanged a couple of words.

”Zhao Lianying, what are you saying? Lingling clearly said she can’t drink alcohol, what do you mean by this?” Wen Jing couldn’t stand it anymore and said, ”Besides, who made the rule that one must drink alcohol?”

Tong Sha came with a drink, so Lingling must drink alcohol? That’s a joke.

As her roommate for these four years, she could see clearly that Tong Sha wasn’t as good as she seemed on the surface, that caring sister facade was just deceit.

Wen Jing felt that this woman was quite complicated based on how she handled things with Tong Mingqiang.

At least she had a ruthless streak.

Only this Zhao Lianying foolishly followed her around every day.

”She originally wanted to join your company too,” Wen Jing whispered to Gu Lingling. ”She couldn’t get in, so she’s harboring resentment.”

But if anyone should resent Tong Sha.

It’s known that Tong Sha’s grades aren’t as good as Zhao Lianying’s.

Her dislike for Gu Lingling surely has Tong Sha’s influence involved.

”It doesn’t matter, I’ll drink and you do as you please,” Tong Sha said with a smile, then drained the glass of beer in one go.

She’s from the north where people like to drink, regardless of wealth, they brew their own strong liquor, so drinking beer is practically like drinking water.

”Our Tong Sha is bold,” Zhao Lianying laughed, giving her a thumbs-up, then looked provocatively at Gu Lingling.

Yet Gu Lingling simply drank her tea.

Not even slightly irritated.

If it were someone else, they’d definitely switch to alcohol.

Gu Lingling wouldn’t care; she’s not familiar with these people, truly no need to compromise her health for so-called pride.

”It’s nothing,” Tong Sha said, blushing, ”Lingling can’t drink, it’s my oversight.”

Gu Lingling’s lips slightly turned up.

This Tong Sha hasn’t changed her old habits, always trying to trap people with words.

”How can you blame yourself?” Zhao Lianying said indignantly, ”Some people just don’t show respect.”

Respect?

Gu Lingling smiled faintly, her almond eyes looking at Zhao Lianying, ”Do you have any complaints about me?”
