Granny Zhu spoke without any mercy.
Zhu Xiangxiang choked, “How did you know about the exam? Did Zhu Mingjing tell on me?”
Granny Zhu laughed, ‘Mingjing wouldn’t talk about such boring things. It was Teacher Ren who called this afternoon, praising Mingjing for being smart and exceptional, the best student he’s ever taught. As soon as I thought you were also in the same class, I casually asked him about your performance. Do you know what he replied?”
Granny Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiangxiang. The ridiculing in her eyes was potent. Zhu Xiangxiang’s face turned pale, her hand holding the chopsticks began to tremble.
Lin Qing didn’t come back for dinner so at the table, it was only Granny Zhu, Zhu Xiangxiang, Ming Ti, Ming Chen, and Ming Wong. Ming Jing was in her room.
Granny Zhu said word by word, “He said in his own words, ‘Is Zhu Xiangxiang really Zhu Mingjing’s sister? The genetic difference between the Zhus is too big. Just because the sister sees her little sister exceling in her class doesn’t mean she has to attend too. She should be aware of her own skills. It’s better to not waste the money and spend it on food, drink and pleasure than smashing it on this.”‘
Granny Zhu slammed the table, “My family can afford it, but cannot lose face. Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to go to that class anymore. Consider the money spent as lost.”
Ming Ti curled his lips, served you right; with your stupid brain, you wanted to compete with Ming Jing? You are just an imitator.
Zhu Xiangxiang noticed Ming Ti’s mocking look, which was like a sharp knife stabbing her heart. She wanted to throw her chopsticks and argue with Granny Zhu, but reason told her that she absolutely couldn’t do this, otherwise, things would become irreparable.
Zhu Xiangxiang held back again and again, took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, she showed a tearful expression, no trace of her previous arrogance.
“Granny, I know I was wrong, I’ll listen to you. I won’t go to the math class tomorrow. I’m not as smart as Ming Jing, so I won’t go and humiliate myself.”
Granny Zhu snorted, “As long as you know.”
She sighed in her heart, this child is ruined.
Back in her room, Zhu Xiangxiang pounded her pillow fiercely to vent her anger. She had been filial to Granny Zhu since she was a child, sixteen years, and still fell short of Zhu Mingjing, whom she had only known for three months. How ridiculous!
Zhu Xiangxiang dialed the number. It rang for a long time before the person on the other side answered with a flirtatious tone, “What’s up?
Zhu Xiangxiang realized something and blushed, coughing, “Is it convenient to talk?”
“Your father just went to take a shower. Go ahead.”
A sense of revenge rose in Zhu Xiangxiang’s heart. If Lin Qing knew about this, would she be mad?
Realizing her evil thoughts, Zhu Xiangxiang startled and quickly let go of them, saying, “When are we going to take action? I can’t stand it another day.”
“What, did Zhu Mingjing give you a hard time?”
“Her mere existence is a bitter pill for me. ”
“I understand. Even the most dazzling stars become dim when near the moon.”
“You…
“You, the once top socialite, have so little grace, it’s really disappointing. I’ve overestimated you.” Zhou Ling said quite disappointedly. However, if it wasn’t for this, she wouldn’t have been so easily manipulated.
So-called prestigious families’ carefully cultivated socialites weren’t much, after all, they couldn’t escape their bloodline’s constraints.
“Zhou Ling, don’t be so shameless. Right now, you’re the one begging me for help. ”
“It seems you got it wrong. You’re the one begging me.” Zhou Ling’s gentle voice made people grit their teeth.
Zhu Xiangxiang sneered, “Aren’t you afraid that my father will find out what you’ve done?”
“You can tell him right now.”
Zhu Xiangxiang choked.
“On the other hand, you secretly drugged your mother. Tsk tsk, if word gets out, do you think the Zhus can still tolerate you? What kind of reputation would you get?”
“You forced me to do it, the poison was given by you.”
“Do you have any proof?”
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, “You venomous woman.”
“You need to be clear. Right now, you and I are in the same boat. If I sink, you’ll drown too, little sister. Think about it carefully. I hope that next time I see you, there will be less resentment in you. Also, here’s a piece of advice: don’t be so jealous, think less about things, and you’ll be much happier.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Zhou Ling curled her lips, what a fool.
The bathroom door opened, and Zhu Wentao walked out wearing a bathrobe. He was nearly forty, the prime age for men. He took good care of himself and exercised occasionally, looking younger than his actual age..
