Chapter 6: Preparing to be sent away (1)

Sure enough, looking at Lin Xi, Zhang Cui gathered herself and put a smile on her face. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

She then dropped another big piece of fatty meat into her bowl.

Aye, child, you shouldnt just eat the rice. Here, have some meat.

Pausing a little, Zhang Cui added, I plan to pay the village that I came from a visit. Xiao Xi, you have never been, right? Come with me this time. You can even stay there for a little while.

Here it comes.

Thought Lin Xi to herself. She had another mouthful of rice without giving herself away. Looking at Zhang Cui, she put on a baffled look, Why do you want me to go visit there with you out of the blue?

Well, you have nothing else going on, no?

Lin Xi shook her head. I dont want to go.

Hearing the determined tone in Lin Xis voice, Zhang Cui knew that she would need a little bit more in order to convince her. She faked a sigh, then told the truth. Well, we are doing this for your own good. After what had happened to Xinxin and you at school, others will gossip when you go back to school. There might even be disciplinary action from the school. What if they want you to turn in reports stating that you are sorry or even add a demerit onto your record?

As such, you come with grandma and stay in the village for a little while. We will have you back after the incident dies down a bit.

Like heck Id believe you.

Lin Xi rebutted her in her mind.

Then there was Lin Anxin. Had she no idea the real reason she had fallen into the pond? And now she was nodding along as Zhang Cui talked and looked at her with worries?

But early tomorrow morning. We cant wait any longer. We dont want to hold your grandmother back.

-- Xu Jiaofeng looked down on Zhang Cui. Naturally, she would not have her best interest I mind. She obviously just wished for her to leave as soon as possible.

Lin Xi wanted to laugh but said nothing else. She buried her face in the bowl and nodded. She started her own plan in her head.

As she needed to go to pick up her notebooks at school. Lin Xi went to school with Lin Anxin in the car after breakfast.

In the car, Lin Anxin looked over at Lin Xi, hesitated a little bit, and finally said in a low voice, Im sorry, Big Sister. It was so hectic yesterday. I had no idea how I fell into the water. I did say that to Mom and Grandma, but they wouldnt believe me.

Lin Xi turned her head. She had better things to do than paying attention to Lin Anxin.

Seeing that, disgruntlement and discontent flashed past Lin Anxins eyes. She thought about it some and carried on, I didnt think that Grandma would bring you over to the village. Ive heard that the living conditions there are quite poor. Perhaps I can talk Grandma out of taking you there.

Lin Anxin seemed to be aggravating Lin Xi on purpose. Lo and behold, her words were like punching at cotton. Lin Xi did not pay her any attention at all.

Feeling defeated, Lin Anxin looked away disappointedly.

The two did not exchange any more words on their way to school.

Once they have arrived at school, the two of them got out of the car and went to their respective classrooms.

Because of what had happened the day before, Lin Anxin had two bodyguards entering the school with her. Thanks to Lin Anxin, Lin Xi, too, have one bodyguard following behind her.

Naturally, that bodyguards job was not to protect her, but to monitor her.
