Granny Zhu spoke without any mercy.
Zhu Xiangxiang choked, âHow did you know about the exam? Did Zhu Mingjing tell on me?â
Granny Zhu laughed, âMingjing wouldnât talk about such boring things. It was Teacher Ren who called this afternoon, praising Mingjing for being smart and exceptional, the best student heâs 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?â
Granny Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiangxiang. The ridiculing in her eyes was potent. Zhu Xiangxiangâs face turned pale, her hand holding the chopsticks began to tremble.
Lin Qing didnât 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, âHe said in his own words, âIs Zhu Xiangxiang really Zhu Mingjingâs sister? The genetic difference between the Zhus is too big. Just because the sister sees her little sister exceling in her class doesnât mean she has to attend too. She should be aware of her own skills. Itâs better to not waste the money and spend it on food, drink and pleasure than smashing it on this.ââ
Granny Zhu slammed the table, âMy family can afford it, but cannot lose face. Starting tomorrow, you donât have to go to that class anymore. Consider the money spent as lost.â
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 Tiâs 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 couldnât 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.
âGranny, I know I was wrong, Iâll listen to you. I wonât go to the math class tomorrow. Iâm not as smart as Ming Jing, so I wonât go and humiliate myself.â
Granny Zhu snorted, âAs long as you know.â
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, âWhatâs up?
Zhu Xiangxiang realized something and blushed, coughing, âIs it convenient to talk?â
âYour father just went to take a shower. Go ahead.â
A sense of revenge rose in Zhu Xiangxiangâs 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, âWhen are we going to take action? I canât stand it another day.â
âWhat, did Zhu Mingjing give you a hard time?â
âHer mere existence is a bitter pill for me. â
âI understand. Even the most dazzling stars become dim when near the moon.â
âYouâ¦
âYou, the once top socialite, have so little grace, itâs really disappointing. Iâve overestimated you.â Zhou Ling said quite disappointedly. However, if it wasnât for this, she wouldnât have been so easily manipulated.
So-called prestigious familiesâ carefully cultivated socialites werenât much, after all, they couldnât escape their bloodlineâs constraints.
âZhou Ling, donât be so shameless. Right now, youâre the one begging me for help. â
âIt seems you got it wrong. Youâre the one begging me.â Zhou Lingâs gentle voice made people grit their teeth.
Zhu Xiangxiang sneered, âArenât you afraid that my father will find out what youâve done?â
âYou can tell him right now.â
Zhu Xiangxiang choked.
âOn 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?â
âYou forced me to do it, the poison was given by you.â
âDo you have any proof?â
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, âYou venomous woman.â
âYou need to be clear. Right now, you and I are in the same boat. If I sink, youâll drown too, little sister. Think about it carefully. I hope that next time I see you, there will be less resentment in you. Also, hereâs a piece of advice: donât be so jealous, think less about things, and youâll be much happier.â
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..
