What kind of background did Song Ziyan have? Did she lack educational resources?
She had transferred from the international class of Yanxi High School purely because of Xiao Chen.
The private tutors hired by her family were experienced professors, some of them retired scholars who had been rehired.
As the young lady of Song’s Huaye Bank, did she need his so-called resources? How did a middle-class family like his have the nerve to act superior?
Showing off resources in front of her? Was there something wrong with him? So fake and pretentious. Truly disgusting.
“You mean my brother?” Xiao Ming snorted. “His physics grades are all from cheating.”
When he said that, he looked indignant.
But immediately he put on a sensible expression and said, “But I know Brother didn’t do it on purpose. He just wanted to get good grades to make Dad and Mom happy.”
“Breaking the vase at home and stealing Second Sister’s bracelet were understandable too.”
“I don’t blame him. I really don’t blame him…”
Song Ziyan was so angry that she laughed. This little fake saint. On the surface he claimed he did not blame his brother.
But in reality, he was exposing everything about Xiao Chen without holding back.
Of course, all of it was slander thrown onto Xiao Chen’s head.
“Xiao Ming, has anyone ever told you?” Song Ziyan said. “Those who spread rumors and speak ill of others behind their backs will go to the hell where tongues are torn out.”
“And I hate people like you the most. One thing in front of others, another thing behind their backs.”
“Pretty sister, I’m not, I…” Xiao Ming panicked and squeezed out a few fake tears.
“You’re also a man. You’re eighteen.”
“Crying and acting pitiful at the slightest thing. Do you still consider yourself a man? Xiao Chen wasn’t wrong at all.”
“Being around someone like you is bad luck. Really bad luck.”
After saying that, Song Ziyan turned and went inside without giving Xiao Ming time to react.
Xiao Ming stood there blankly, unable to process her words.
In the past, he had conquered so many girls with this trick.
With his slightly pouting lips and a few squeezed tears, he could instantly stir up a protective instinct in others.
But this trick did not work on Song Ziyan?
No. He was unwilling to accept it. She was so beautiful. Why should she treat Xiao Chen so well?
His face twisted slightly. Anything that belonged to Xiao Chen, he wanted to take away.
His parents’ love could only belong to him. His sisters could only be kind to him.
How could someone like Xiao Chen deserve such a pretty girl by his side? Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“Early romance. I’ll report you for early romance!”
“Grandma, are you alright?” Xiao Chen helped Grandma Wu sit down.
He hurried to pour her a glass of water.
After all, Grandma Wu’s heart was not in good condition. Who knew what that shrew had just said to anger her?
“I’m fine, Xiao Chen. Don’t worry about me,” Grandma Wu said after taking a sip of water. She held Xiao Chen’s hand with distress in her eyes. “These past six months, how did you live at the Xiao family’s house?”
“They didn’t like you. They treated you badly. It’s Grandma’s fault. I shouldn’t have sent you alone to the Xiao family.”
“Grandma, it’s all in the past,” Xiao Chen said with a smile. “From now on, the two of us will live together.”
“I’ll take good care of you. I’ll earn a lot of money and buy you a big house to live in.”
“Let’s just pretend those relatives from the Xiao family never existed.”
Grandma Wu nodded, tears falling uncontrollably again.
“Grandma Wu, don’t be sad. I’ll take care of you together with Xiao Chen,” Song Ziyan said as she walked over.
“Alright, alright. Ziyan, thank you so much,” Grandma Wu said, holding her hand.
She truly liked Song Ziyan. And the old lady had already seen through the girl’s feelings.
This girl probably liked her Chenchen. Pretty and kind. Truly wonderful.
“It’s alright, Grandma Wu. Let’s cook. I’ll help you,” Song Ziyan said with a smile.
“Okay. What would you like to eat? I’ll make it,” Grandma Wu stood up.
“Fried eggplant fritters and corn sweet potato porridge,” Song Ziyan said immediately.
“Alright, I’ll cook,” Grandma Wu said. “Chenchen, keep Ziyan company for a while. I’ll prepare the meal.”
“Xiao Chen, your brother…” Song Ziyan hesitated.
“Very fake?” Xiao Chen finished her sentence.
“Yes, very fake,” Song Ziyan nodded repeatedly.
“Did he tell you that I cheated on exams? But that he doesn’t blame me because I just wanted attention from Dad and Mom?”
“Did he also tell you that I broke things at home and stole from the family? But he doesn’t blame me?” Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
“Haha, Xiao Chen, you really understand your brother,” Song Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
“I know him too well,” Xiao Chen sighed.
In his previous life, that younger brother had schemed endlessly.
In the end, fearing that Xiao Chen would take everything from the Xiao family, he had plotted Xiao Chen’s death.
Behind that harmless appearance hid a malicious heart.
“I scolded him,” Song Ziyan stopped laughing.
“His face naturally makes girls feel protective. With just a little trick, he can easily win sympathy.”
Xiao Chen looked at her in surprise. “You weren’t fooled by his appearance?” The source of this chapter is g.com.
“The truth cannot be faked, and a lie cannot become real,” Song Ziyan shook her head. “He’s too pretentious. You can tell at a glance it’s fake.”
“And people who act one way in front of you and another behind your back are really annoying.”
“Haha, he’s probably never failed before. He’s likely hiding in his mother’s arms crying right now,” Xiao Chen laughed.
“Waaah, Mom, that pretty sister was so fierce.”
In the car, Xiao Ming lay in Mrs. Xiao’s arms, crying like an oversized child.
“I invited her to our house and even offered to let my private tutor teach her.”
“Not only did she refuse, she even said I’d have my tongue torn out.”
“Waaah, there’s so much malice in this world. What did I do wrong?”
“Be good, Mingming. Don’t cry,” Mrs. Xiao said, holding him tightly with heartache.
“She just doesn’t know what’s good for her. We won’t play with her.”
“Your Sister Yu will be back soon. You can play with Sister Yu then.”
Only then did Xiao Ming wipe away his tears and smile again.
On Friday morning after school, Xiao Chen was still eating the lavish meal that Song Ziyan’s mother had sent.
Song Ziyan, in turn, was eating the dishes Grandma Wu had prepared.
They fed each other and chatted happily.
“Xiao Chen, Teacher Su asked you to go to the office after lunch,” a classmate ran over and said.
“Okay, thank you. Does the teacher need something?” Xiao Chen asked.
“Well…” The classmate glanced at Song Ziyan and scratched his head. “It’s not a big deal. You’ll know when you go.”
Seeing him hesitate, Xiao Chen felt a little puzzled.
But he did not think much of it. After finishing lunch, he went to the office.
After graduating, Homeroom Teacher Su Xiao had come straight to teach at the high school. At twenty-eight, because of her profession, she dressed rather strictly.
When she saw Xiao Chen, she put down her lesson plan. “Xiao Chen, I wanted to talk to you about something today.”
“Teacher Su, what’s the matter?” Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
“Recently, there have been some rumors circulating in the class. Do you know about them?” Su Xiao said earnestly. “Your grades are good, and this is an important stage.”
“You’re a promising candidate for top universities like Qingbei. You must not let certain matters delay your studies.”
“Teacher Su,” Xiao Chen opened his mouth, “what exactly is going on? Please don’t beat around the bush. Just tell me directly.”
“Someone said you’re in an early relationship,” Su Xiao coughed lightly.
