The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

Chapter 1238 The Sorority?

Tang Tang glared at him. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Edmund let Tang Tang cover his mouth, but raised an eyebrow and smiled at her, looking like a frivolous bad boy, "Inviting you to get to know me better, baby."

Tang Tang stepped on Edmund's foot, successfully leaving a faint gray mark on his light brown leather shoe.

"Oh," Edmund looked down at his feet, reached out to take Tang Tang's hand, and hooked his long fingers around Tang Tang's fingertips, which was a little ambiguous.

Tang Tang slapped his fingers away; it didn't hurt, but it made a loud noise.

After all, what best friends would hold hands in public? They're not elementary school kids going to the bathroom together.

Edmund remained unfazed, a smirk playing on his lips. If one attempt failed, he would try again, continuing to tease Tang Tang's hand with his finger.

They were acting suspiciously; you'd think they were up to something else entirely.

Tang Tang glanced at him. "Are you still going to hold the hand of the family's children?"

“Yes, Mommy,” Edmund said clearly, “Can I hold your hand?”

What exactly has this guy been secretly learning?

Edmund said, looking aggrieved, "It's okay, Mommy, I know we can't let other people see us~"

Both of them were wearing overcoats. Edmund insisted on sitting shoulder to shoulder with Tang Tang, and finally, under the cover of the overcoat, they held hands with satisfaction.

Tang Tang was left speechless.

This guy is shameless.

They're just taking advantage of their young age, tsk tsk.

After taking Tang Tang's hand, he became restless, hooking and swaying his fingers, doing something shady in his sleeve.

Tang Tang reached out to pinch his hand, but before she could even apply any pressure, Edmund said in an affected tone, "Ah~ it hurts."

"Shut up!" Tang Tang said fiercely. "You're not allowed to speak Mandarin... You'd better speak English properly!"

Really satisfied.

Tang Tang, being a Mandarin speaker, felt incredibly ashamed and got goosebumps when she heard Edmund speaking Mandarin in a foreign language.

It's clearly this guy in front of me who has a fever, so why do I feel like it's my toes gripping the ground? That's so unfair.

It's because she cares a lot about her reputation!

That's right.

Edmund finally decided to stop while he was ahead. He intertwined his fingers with Tang Tang's in his sleeve, cleared his throat with satisfaction, and then said as he walked with her, "You're a celebrity at Harvard now."

Tang Tang looked up at him. "Isn't that what I always was?"

Edmund, Caroline, and their group were quite high-profile, and Tang Tang was already very high-profile from the very beginning when she joined their group.

Not to mention the ambiguous relationship between Tang Tang and Edmund later on... cough cough, as one of the gossip topics, she was quite high-profile.

Occasionally, Caroline would tell Tang Tang gossip, such as how many people at school actually regarded Tang Tang as a rival in love... a real thorn in their side.

There was no way around it; Edmund's identity was simply too eye-catching. Back then, so many people secretly admired him and wanted to follow him... Some even went so far as to engage in a cult of personality.

As a result, Edmund turned around and announced to everyone that Tang Tang was his "best friend," and he was always inseparable from Tang Tang at school...

Many people with mental disorders began to find it unbearable.

In particular, Caroline emphasized to Tang Tang that there were both men and women among these people... Hmm, that's quite interesting.

After listening to Tang Tang's words, Edmund said meaningfully, "Baby, you have quite a few admirers too."

Tang Tang's birthday party once had many photos and records that went viral online, and those who were invited to the party were very proud of it.

After that, Tang Tang almost never invited anyone to her event.

Not to mention Tang Tang's noble status; the mixed heritage of an ancient Eastern country and the Italian mafia sounds incredibly mysterious and cool...

Just as Edmund said, many people at Harvard who had never actually interacted with Tang Tang actually had a longing and admiration for her.

It was a sense of following that was mixed with different emotions.

So actually, they're about the same, the only difference being that Edmund became famous earlier and had more admirers.

“And I will only like you,” Edmund said with a subtle tone. “Besides, this so-called infatuation and following is not really liking.”

Tang Tang calmly replied, "That's right. It's a desire that's a mixture of admiration and longing. It's more accurate to call it idol worship than love."

The two discussed this issue for a short distance when Edmund suddenly seemed to remember something and made a "hmm" sound.

Tang Tang looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Edmund frowned slightly and asked, "You haven't joined the student council or sorority. Is it because you don't want to join, or because you didn't receive an invitation?"

Traditionally, sorority and fraternity societies are observed for a full year during the first year of undergraduate studies, and new members are admitted after the observation period ends in the second year.

Fraternities and sororities are unique student organizations in the US, which can be complicated in some ways, but not in others.

Unlike student councils, fraternities and sororities are not official student organizations; they are more like private societies.

As the name suggests, fraternities are all male, while sorority members are all female.

Fraternities and sorority generally share several key characteristics:

First, they are extremely wealthy. This is a capitalist country where capital determines everything. Fraternities and sorority are like wealthy groups during student days; most members come from privileged backgrounds, making these groups very rich.

Second, preferential privileges. Due to a combination of factors such as family background, education, qualifications, and academic achievements, fraternities and sorority members enjoy numerous privileges.

For example, there are separate apartment-style dormitories with private gyms, private study rooms, etc., while the expensive rent is borne by the fraternities and sorority themselves.

Third, prestige. Just as the stereotype is that the most popular boy in an American college is the football team captain and the most popular girl is the cheerleader, fraternities and sororities are almost guaranteed to be joined by the elite students on campus.

In short, fraternities and sororities represent the elite student body, with very strict admission criteria each year, but they are open to exceptional individuals.

For example, Tang Tang, Edmund, and their small group.

The American education system emphasizes competition, resulting in numerous student organizations and different leadership groups within schools.

Logically speaking, Edmund, Caroline, and the other three should have been accepted into the fraternity and sorority from the very beginning.

However, the group accepted Tang Tang at the beginning of the semester and successfully formed their own independent group. While they couldn't say they completely forgot about the fraternity and sorority, they certainly ignored them.
