Chapter 1178: 1177 Tao Yue’s friend

But Li Li’s current pose was quite unique; she had her two hands grabbing the ends of a tripod, which lay horizontally across Miss Yu’s collarbones. Miss Yu was sprawled on the ground, with her hands pinned behind her, while one of Li Li’s legs kneeled on the ground and the other pressed down on Miss Yu.

Li Li’s attention was entirely on Miss Yu; she didn’t even notice someone approaching. Like a victorious rooster, she said proudly, “Our Tan Rou is 1,000 times better than you, you little trash, fit only to lie on the ground.”

Tan Rou was speechless in an instant; she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into right then, but the people around her wouldn’t allow it—they had already recognized her.

It wasn’t surprising that they recognized Tan Rou, as she was quite famous, with her photograph even printed on the school’s promotional posters.

Moreover, their school had a bulletin board promoting outstanding students, and almost every board featured Tan Rou’s name and picture, although the accompanying text was different. Tan Rou had achieved so much that each board highlighted a different accomplishment of hers.

“Hey, isn’t that senior Tan Rou?” asked a direct junior of Tan Rou’s, “Senior Tan Rou, you are my idol; can I get your autograph?”

Tan Rou’s popularity at Capital University was indeed very high, and numerous students from Capital University wanted to join her TR Company after graduation, not to mention the company of the Tao family behind her.

Tan Rou bowed her head slightly and said in a low voice, “We can talk about that later, I have something else to handle right now.”

The junior was very understanding and said, “Okay, Senior, then you go ahead and take care of your things; just let me know if you need my help, don’t be shy and just tell me.”

Tan Rou smiled politely, “Okay, thank you.”

When Li Li heard Tan Rou’s voice, she immediately jumped off Miss Yu, tossed the tripod aside, and after dusting off her hands, said, “What a coincidence, Tan Rou, you’re having dinner in the cafeteria tonight too?”

She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Zhuang Liu, then flashed a meaningful smile, “Oh, Brother Zhuang Liu is here too!”

Zhuang Liu gave a light smile and nodded, “Mm. Tan Rou heard your voice, so she came over to see if you were okay. You’re not hurt, are you?”

Before Li Li could even speak, the photographer who had been standing nearby lamented, “My limited edition luxury tripod! It cost me 10,000 yuan, and now it’s completely ruined!”

Upon hearing about the tripod, Li Li nervously glanced to the side where one leg of the tripod was now broken and seemed to be beyond repair.

“I’m really sorry for getting a little carried away; you send me the link for that tripod, and I’ll buy you a new one.” Li Li was ready to take responsibility. Although she wasn’t the one who took the tripod and might not be responsible for breaking it, she still chose to compensate for the tripod.

Having worked part-time over the summer holiday, she knew the hardships of working, so she wasn’t going to cause the photographer any trouble.

Moreover, since the tripod was personally purchased by the photographer who looked rather young, probably having just started working not long ago, it was unclear how long he had saved to afford such a good-performance tripod, which now they had destroyed.

Miss Yu finally struggled to her feet; her delicate makeup was ruined, her long hair sticking to her sweaty face, making her look quite a mess.

“Cough cough cough…” Miss Yu, pointing at Li Li, said viciously, “You just wait, my dad will never let you get away with this!”

Li Li stuck her tongue out and made a face at her, “Let your dad come and beat me then!”

“Don’t be so arrogant; my dad is very powerful!” Miss Yu said angrily.

Zhuang Liu interjected, “Aren’t you the third young lady of the Yu family? What are you doing here? Oh, now I remember, isn’t your uncle the chief director of the TV series that Tao Zheng is funding? No wonder some of the crew members looked a bit familiar; they’re from the drama crew, right?”

Tan Rou asked, “You know her?”

“Mm, her name is Yu Xian, she’s the third young lady of the Yu family, taking her mother’s surname,” Zhuang Liu explained. “You might not have heard of her, but you must have heard of her best friend’s name.”

“Who is it?” Tan Rou inquired.

Zhuang Liu said with a smile, “Tao Yue.”
