Chapter 129 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 10 (2/2)

But Ji Xiaoyu’s movements appeared a bit stiff. She wanted to act like those noble ladies but she hadn’t undergone any training before so her forced attempt only made it seem like she drew a dog when she was attempting to draw a tiger[1].

Bei Ze frowned a bit upon seeing Ji Xiaoyu’s movements. Ji Xiaoyu was also a bit anxious. ‘It looks simple when they do it! How come it’s so tough for me to copy them?’

After they had eaten, Mother Bei brought Ji Xiaoyu away. Father Bei had work to do so Bei Ze and Bei Zhi were left alone.

Shi Sheng was sipping a cup of tea, her gaze fixed on her phone and feeling rather puzzled as to why Bei Ze hadn’t left yet.

“Bei Zhi.” He suddenly called her. Shi Sheng lifted her head to look at him with a baffled expression on her face. ‘What do you want, male lead-sama?’

Bei Ze stared at her for a while before he finally managed to force out a few words, “Don’t you have anything you want to say?”

“What?” ‘Do I have to congratulate you now? We don’t have a close relationship, okay? Why would I congratulate you?!’

Bei Ze seemed to have been pissed off by her reply for his face darkened and he stormed off.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Don’t really understand what the male lead’s thinking.’

Father Bei and Mother Bei only stayed at home for two days. Ji Xiaoyu was also staying over for these two days. In this time, she had made countless faux pas[2] yet Father and Mother Bei pretended like they hadn’t seen them.

Before they left, they even let Ji Xiaoyu continue to stay in their house. Ji Xiaoyu tried to ‘decline’ of course but in the end, she could only ‘grudgingly’ and embarrassedly accept their offer.

Having the chance to stay in the Bei Family’s mansion again, Ji Xiaoyu actually wanted to stay with Bei Ze on the fourth floor this time!

Yet who knew that Bei Ze rejected her request on the spot, causing her to feel embarrassed and a little aggrieved. In the end though, she still went back to stay in her original room on the third floor.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

“Xiaozhi, wait up!” Ji Xiaoyu jogged out of the mansion. “Xiaozhi, let’s go to school together!”

“Go take Bei Ze’s car.” Shi Sheng cast Ji Xiaoyu a glance. ‘What’s the FL up to? Riling me(bbb) up because she’s bored?’

“Ze said he was busy today and told me to hitch a ride on your car.” Ji Xiaoyu spoke confidently; even her chin was lifted. ‘I’m rich now! I don’t have to be humble in front of you anymore!’

“Oh. Then I reject you.” Shi Sheng pulled open the car door, got on, and slammed it shut. The driver immediately drove the car off.

Having gotten a face-full of exhaust, her expression was ugly as she looked at the direction the car drove off in. ‘Back then she looked down on me. Okay.

But I have money now! Yet she still dares to look down on me!’

Ji Xiaoyu’s hands clenched into fists. She turned to find the steward and got him to prepare a car for her.

She had been a servant before but now she was a guest.

When Ji Xiaoyu reached school, she just so happened to see Bei Zhi walking into the academy grounds together with a young man.

‘That young man… How should I describe him? I think he looks exceptionally good. Even better than Bei Ze.’

He was accompanied by several bodyguards in black clothing who followed at a distance. There was also a large dog by his side. Everyone gave way to them so they were hard to miss.

Ji Xiaoyu learned the name of that young man from their conversations. Fu Qin. The mysterious Fu Qin who was famous at the academy.

[1] This is an idiom. It means to try and do something unfamiliar but end up with a completely different result than what you expected. There’s a negative connotation attached to it.

[2] French borrowed word. It means mistakes in etiquette. I only put borrowed words in when it sounds better than its English equivalent.
