Chapter 121 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 2 (2/2)

Perhaps it was because they were just outside the Headmaster’s office for the girls were more reserved. “Bei Zhi, just you wait! You’ll be a sight once I’m done with you!”

“How are you going to do that? I’m already pretty enough as it is. You can make me look even better? Wow, you’re so awesome. Why don’t you go open a plastic surgery clinic? I’m sure you’ll earn loads.” Shi Sheng’s expression didn’t change as she boasted.

Right as the four were about to retort, the door to the office opened.

“…Have a safe trip, Lawyer Yan.” The Headmaster politely escorted a man in a suit out.

“Then I’ll be troubling the Headmaster.” Attorney Yan gave a professional smile.

“It’s no trouble! No trouble at all!” The Headmaster was all smiles, causing the girls to look like they had seen a ghost. The Headmaster was famous for being someone who looked like he had his facial muscles paralysed; since when had he smiled like this before?

Lawyer Yan nodded before turning to look at Shi Sheng. “Young Miss, everything’s been sorted out. I already arranged the matter with Alice Academy. Are you (respectful) going there to have a look or heading back home first?”

“Mm, go back home first.”

‘Ji Xiaoyu’s working at the Bei household as a maid so I’ll head back to see how she’s doing first.’

“Very well.”

The Headmaster sent them off with his gaze before the smile on his face disappeared and he yelled at the four girls, “What are you standing there for? Get in!”

“Headmaster, Bei Zhi’s set us up! We were coerced by her!” One of the girls yelled loudly.

The Headmaster’s expression changed. “What would she set you up for? You think too highly of yourself! Do you know who she is?! Forget it. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”

Their school was only a normal school. The most well-off came from millionaire households. The four girls looked at each other. Only later did they hear that on that day, two luxury cars came to pick up Bei Zhi. They had only seen those cars on the web. Shi Sheng had successfully shown off, and was currently at the Bei family’s mansion.

Although the Bei couple didn’t really dote on her all that much, they didn’t short-change her when it came to other stuff. They would help her as long as she needed it. This was probably the reason why Bei Zhi hadn’t wanted revenge on them in the end.

Shi Sheng, however, knew that as the daughter of the Bei Family, her every move and action represented the Bei Family’s image.

Only the servants were home when Shi Sheng got back. Shi Sheng familiarised herself with the mansion before bringing a plate of snacks out into the garden and sitting down.

……

“Dumb girl! Walk faster! Did you not eat or something?!”

“Yeah, I didn’t eat! Aren’t you just amazing for having longer legs and being able to walk faster?!” A melodious voice holding some hints of anger and complain was heard. Shi Sheng lifted her head to look at the entrance of the garden where a cute girl holding two schoolbags was struggling to keep up with a tall male.

The two continued their argument as they got closer. Shi Sheng stood up from the rattan chair, allowing Bei Ze to see her when he turned his head. He frowned slightly before lightly sweeping his gaze over her and shifting his gaze away.

“Move faster!” Bei Ze turned back to urge Ji Xiaoyu. Seeing she was still being slow, he turned back to grab a bag from her and strode into the mansion.

That pull caused Ji Xiaoyu to lose her balance slightly and stumble. With some irritation in her voice, she snapped, “What are you doing?!”

She lifted her head to see the young woman standing below a cluster of vines. She was startled by the woman’s looks. ‘So pretty…’
