Novel Full Chapter 27 - Up To No Good
Xie Wan rolled her eyes, "What benefits? To be covered in mud?!"
"Think about it. Isn't the Lu family's second young master's house going to be built in the back of the mountain? Lu Xiu cares so much about his younger brother, so he will definitely visit him often. If Xiao Xiao lives there, won't she be able to see Lu Xiu more often?!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao revealed a subtle smile.
This was her real purpose. Only she was worthy of such an outstanding man like Lu Xiu.
A person in a favorable position would win the favor first. When the time came, her gentleness and modesty would be compared to Cheng Ling's carelessness. Her intelligence and cleverness, compared to Cheng Ling's results which was the lowest in the whole school, wouldn't the comparison be clear at a glance ?
Lu Xiu would definitely admire her even more. As for his sickly younger brother, Lu Qi, Cheng Xiao did not care at all.
When Xie Wan heard Cheng Ming's words, she felt that it was very reasonable.
"Yeah! If Xiao Xiao could see Master Lu more often, he might be able to fall in love with her! There's no need to beg Cheng Ling to fix him up."
With the thought, she immediately brought Cheng Xiao to the villa at the back of the mountain.
When Xie Wan and Cheng Xiao arrived, Xie Ying was eating melon seeds and watching TV, complaining about the supporting actress. Meanwhile, Cheng Ling was reading a book at the side, accompanying Xie Ying.
The third year of high school was about to start soon, so Cheng Ling wanted to spend more time with Xie Ying in the next few days.
"Xiao Ling, look at this supporting actress. She is really... green tea! Isn't that what you young people say? Green tea."
Cheng Ling burst out laughing. "You even know about green tea. What did this second female lead do?"
"In order to get close to the male lead, the second female lead actually had to stay in this female lead's house. How shameless!"
Xie Wan and Cheng Xiao who were outside the door, "..."
"Why did you guys come over?" Xie Ying looked up and saw someone he did not want to see.
Xie Wan pulled Cheng Xiao and sat down on the sofa.
Although the exterior of the house looked old and shabby, the interior was still very new and the furniture was very clean.
Xie Wan looked around and thought that the environment was not bad.
"Mom, Cheng Ling, we are here to tell you a good news."
Cheng Ling closed the book and looked at Xie Wan expressionlessly. The red nail polish was like a snake's tongue, looking too gorgeous. Cheng Ling looked away.
Wang Ma eagerly poured two cups of tea and placed them next to Xie Wan and Cheng Xiao.
"It's rare for Madam to come over. It really makes this house shine! Madam and Missy have such a good temperament!"
Cheng Ling snorted. "Wang Ma, I thought you were useless because you weren't good at work. I didn't expect you to be so good at flattery."
Wang Ma's face turned green, and the apron in her hand was crumpled by her.
The scene suddenly turned cold, even though it was already cold.
Xie Wan coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Xiao said she was willing to move here and help Cheng Ling with her homework. It's almost the third year of high school. If she doesn't study hard, she might not even be able to get into a university. It would be a disgrace to the Cheng family!"
"Xiao Xiao is soft and tender, and she's prone to getting sick. I think it's good to stay in Cheng Ling's room. Cheng Ling's room is facing the sun, so it's not so humid. Besides, Cheng Ling seems to be in good physical condition. It's definitely not a problem for her to stay in other rooms."
Xie Wan was talking to herself, completely unaware of Xie Ying's darkening expression.
Moving in was already ridiculous enough, and now she wanted to take over Cheng Ling's room?
"I don't agree."
"Mom, what's there to disagree about? Cheng Ling has a free tutor, isn't it a benefit?"
Cheng Ling finally spoke, her tone very cold. "No, I don't need any tutor."
"Sister, I'm helping you here for your own good! It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but why are you so fierce? I heard that the Lu family's second young master is interested in you, then sister should at least get into a university before you can be worthy of him."
Cheng Xiao said these words gently, but it made people angry.
For 18 years, the Cheng family had never cared about Cheng Ling. Now, they suddenly came to her door and said they wanted to tutor Cheng Ling. It was like a weasel paying a new year's visit to a chicken -- they were up to no good.
"I said no means no. The two of you leave quickly. Don't disturb my grandmother from watching TV."
Cheng Ling opened her book again and continued to read.
Seeing that the two of them didn't know what was good for them, Xie Wan slapped the table and stood up. The tea spilled out of the cups as well. Cheng Ling looked up slightly.
"This villa belongs to the Cheng family! It's good enough for you to live here! I haven't asked you for a single cent for so many years!"
Xie Wan shouted with her face red.
