Novel Full Chapter 38 - The Score Was Very Stable
Cheng Xiao?
The Cheng Xiao who walked slowly all day and always looked innocent?
Ding Yu recalled and suddenly laughed. These two sisters were really different.
After Ding Yu and his three underlings left, Cheng Xiao walked out from the other side of the sports room with her phone in her hand.
Cheng Ling, just you wait. This time, you had offended the Ding family. Even if the second young master of the Lu family liked you, he probably wouldn't be able to protect you!
When Cheng Ling returned home that night, dusk had fallen.
Xie Ying took over Cheng Ling's bag, "Why did you come home late?"
"Um... I stayed at school for a while. Grandma, what are we eating tonight?" Cheng Ling changed the topic with a smile. She couldn't let Xie Ying know that she had fought and defeated people.
"Tonight, Old Master Cheng called us to go over for dinner."
"Hongmen Banquet?" This was the first possibility that Cheng Ling thought of.
The Cheng family couldn't wait for Cheng Ling to disappear from their sight forever. Why would they take the initiative to invite them to dinner?
However, Cheng Ling still went. She wanted to see what kind of trick they were playing.
When the two of them arrived, the dishes had already been placed on the table.
Cheng Ling glanced at them and raised her eyebrows. These dishes looked a little simple for the Cheng family who lived in luxury.
Cheng Ling and Xie Ying waited for five minutes before the Cheng family members arrived.
"Cheng Ling is here?" Although Old Master Cheng was only in his sixties, he had a car accident when he was young and his legs were permanently damaged. Now, he had to rely on crutches to walk.
Cheng Ling had good manners. She stood up and waited for the old man to take his seat, then only she sat down besides Xie Ying.
The jade bracelet on Xie Wan's hand was glowing under the light. It was very shiny.
"Knowing that you're coming for dinner today, I specially asked the chef to make these dishes. You are used to eating this kind of dishes. If all of a sudden it's changed to our taste, you might not be used to it."
Cheng Ling snorted in her heart. What did Xie Wan mean by this?
Did she mean that only they could eat the delicacies, while she and Xie Ying could only eat these simple dishes?
On Cheng Ling's right was Xie Ying, and on her left was Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao picked up the bowl and filled it with soup. "Sister, drink the soup. There are walnuts in this soup, it's very good for you."
Walnuts were good for Cheng Ling, didn't that mean that Cheng Ling need it for her brain?
"Today, I saw sister's physics paper, hmm... it's a little bad."
Cheng Ling handed the bowl of soup over to Xie Ying.
"Give me another bowl of soup. Since you said that it's very good for me." Cheng Ling knocked on the table in front of her.
Cheng Xiao's smile froze on her face.
She was the one who wanted to mock Cheng Ling, but she was now being ordered around by Cheng Ling like a servant.
She had no choice but to stand up again and take another bowl of soup.
"Okay, let's eat. It's rare for our whole family to sit down and eat together," said Old Master Cheng. "Cheng Ling, how was the first day of school?"
"It's normal, nothing special."
Old Master Cheng, "Oh yes, I heard from Xiao Xiao that she was in the seventh place in the entire grade this time. What about you?"
Cheng Ling, "Are you sure you want to ask me about my results during the meal? Don't worry, my results are very stable."
Everyone present knew that the stable results that Cheng Ling mentioned was referring to her last place in the entire school. After all, in the past few years, other than her extraordinary performance in the junior high school exam, she had always been steadily maintaining the last place.
Although Xie Ying loved Cheng Ling very much, she was also puzzled sometimes. Cheng Ling seemed to be quite smart. How could she perform so badly in every exam? At first, she would advise Cheng Ling to study harder. But subsequently when she saw that although Cheng Ling's grades were not good, she was good in every other aspects, she therefore decided to let her be. The most important thing was she was happy.
Old Master Cheng coughed twice and told her the real reason for the meal. "Cheng Ling, look at your poor grades. Your sister has wanted to help you, but why did you reject?!"
"And you said that you want to move out! You're the daughter that we've raised for 18 years. Is it appropriate to move out?"
Speaking of this matter, Old Master Cheng probably thought of Lu Xiu's phone call and became excited.
Xie Ying quickly tried to smooth things over. "Old Master Cheng, that matter is already over."
"It's good that it's over. Since you don't want Xiao Xiao to move to your place, then Xiao Xiao can still go to your place when she's free to help you with your study."
This was what Cheng Xiao had requested.. No matter what, she had to fight for more opportunities to see Lu Xiu.
