A mocking look appeared in Qin Youjiao’s eyes and she laughed unkindly. “Pei Yunge, Hengde has an elimination system. What’s the point for you to study there for a month?”

How could she not know Pei Yunge’s level? Since she could not even keep up with her former high school, how could she even think of keeping up with Hengde?

Qin Lang interrupted her and looked at Pei Yunge. “It doesn’t matter, I’ve already contacted the principal. Our family donated a building to them last time, so they won’t let you drop out.”

When she heard this, Qin Youjiao’s expression darkened to the point it almost dripped with ink!

Still, Qin Youjiao held it in and comforted herself that Third Brother was treating Pei Yunge better because of the Old Master.

After that, she could not help sneering in her heart.

All right. Since Pei Yunge wanted to come, she would make Pei Yunge realize the real gap between them!

Caught in between the unintended crossfire, Pei Yunge also furrowed her eyebrows. She did not know if Qin Lang was doing this on a whim or giving her alms.

But at this moment, no one noticed the sweat on Qin Lang’s hands.

In his previous life, he also learned later that Pei Yunge was blackmailed and even bullied in her former high school. It had become so terrible that she had developed a serious communication disorder.

Now that he was reborn, he could not let it happen again.

A trace of determination flashed past Qin Lang’s eyes.

…

After dinner, Pei Yunge went out of the restaurant and waited for them outside.

Seeing this, Qin Lang seemed to be afraid that Pei Yunge would get bullied along the way. He put down his knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth before he followed her out.

Qin Youjiao’s expression had turned dark when she saw this. Feeling terribly aggrieved, she grumbled and could not help calling Mrs Qin.

Soon, Mrs Qin’s gentle voice came through on the phone.

“Jiaojiao, what happened? Or do you miss me?”

“Mom, will you not want me one day?” Qin Youjiao suppressed the urge to cry.

“Silly child, what are you thinking? You’ll always be my daughter. How can I not want you?”

Qin Youjiao bit her lip. “But recently, Third Brother… doesn’t seem to pay much attention to me.”

Hearing this, Mrs Qin laughed.

“Of course not, how could that be. Your third brother dotes on you the most. Even when you were a child, he was holding you to himself and not letting you go.”

Qin Youjiao also recalled the good memories from before when she heard this. “Third Brother really won’t ignore me?” Qin Youjiao thought of Qin Lang’s recent attitude and still felt slightly vexed.

“It’s normal for girls to think too much,” Mrs Qin said forgivingly, “Your third brother might be too stressed out. He’s busy with the club’s recruitment.”

A huge relief came over Qin Youjiao when she heard Mrs Qin say this.

“Mom, if… If you don’t want me one day, I’ll make room for Pei Yunge.”

Mrs Qin’s attitude became colder when she heard Pei Yunge’s name.

She scolded her slightly, “What nonsense are you saying? You’re the real eldest young lady of the Qin family. Who dares to ask you to go? Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone take away everything that belongs to you.”

The corners of Qin Youjiao’s lips lifted and her eyes filled with pride.

Originally, as long as Pei Yunge was obedient, Qin Youjiao could get along with her peacefully.

But who asked Pei Yunge to fight with her?

After hanging up the call, Mrs Qin transferred two hundred thousand dollars to Qin Youjiao for her to go out with her friends.

She did not mention Pei Yunge at all.

…

Two days later.

The news that there would be a new transfer student to Class Seven had spread all over Hengde high school. It was said that the student had some connections with the family of the school belle, Qin Youjiao.

Everyone knew that Class Seven was the real ‘backdoor’ class.

Although there were good students who had to stay in Class Seven for the scholarship, most of them were people from the rich and affluent families.
