Chapter 56 - Her Past
She still remembered that when she had just transferred to another school, the moment she opened her mouth, she was ridiculed by her classmates.
Perhaps it was because they knew Cheng Xiao's identity and were afraid of her, the mocking slowly subsided.
But now, whenever she stood up to read in English, she still felt that someone was laughing at her behind her back.
Accents were very difficult to change. No matter how hard Cheng Xiao worked, she always felt that she was inferior to others. This inferiority complex was only known to Cheng Xiao herself, and she had never told anyone else about it.
She had never heard Cheng Ling speak English before, but thinking about it, Cheng Ling was so careless in her studies that she probably couldn't even recognize all the English words.
Whenever she thought of this, Cheng Ling's mood would be a little better.
Cheng Ling had replaced her and enjoyed the life of 17 years without a lack of food and clothing. Now that she was back, she naturally had to take back what belonged to her.
Not only that, she had to make Cheng Ling suffer!
She had to let Cheng Ling experience the first 17 years of her life.
Cheng Ling was supposed to live that kind of life!
Cheng Xiao, who was sitting in her seat, tightened the belt on her school bag, and her fingers were turning white.
During the first-class break was when the students were sleepiest. When the teacher called for the end of class, all the students lay on their desks to catch up on their sleep.
However, Class 10, where Cheng Ling was, was an exception. They never paid attention in class, so how could they be sleepy.
This group of people had always slept in class and would play crazily after class.
In the past, they would take out their phones to play.
But today, they found something even more interesting -- a bag of vegetables that Cheng Ling brought to class this morning.
What happened in the administrative office yesterday had already been known by some very resourceful students.
Now, it had already spread throughout the entire school. Everyone knew that Cheng Ling hit Young Master Ding, but she didn't get punished.
However, no one knew the exact process. They just thought that Cheng Ling had the Cheng family backing her.
"Cheng Ling, why did you bring a bag of vegetables to class today? You're not thinking of using this bag of vegetables to beg for Young Master Ding's forgiveness, are you?"
Cheng Ling did not sleep well last night. Now, she could not be bothered to deal with them.
Beg Ding Yu to forgive her?
What a joke.
After class, the students walked up and down the aisle, knocking Cheng Ling's vegetables around the table.
Ding Yu didn't come to class today, so Cheng Ling put the vegetables on his table.
She had just caught up on a lesson's sleep, but it didn't work.
She planned to wash her face to refresh herself but she had to pass by other classes to go to the toilet.
Hearing their habitual whispering, Cheng Ling walked over without a change in expression.
There's a saying called, humans' joys and sorrows are not interlinked, I only felt that they were noisy.
Perhaps it was because most people were resting in the class, but there weren't many people in the female toilet that were always crowded.
However, Cheng Ling's ears couldn't have peace even after just a few minutes in the female toilet.
It was unknown who was in the toilet cubicle, but they were gossiping about Cheng Ling and Ding Yu.
"Do you think Cheng Ling is trying to attract Ding Yu's attention and that's why she's doing this?"
"Attract Ding Yu's attention? Ding Yu is a school bully, what's the point of attracting his attention? Every time I see Ding Yu, I have to take a detour. Although he's handsome, he's also quite fierce."
"Whether he is handsome or fierce is another matter. Ding Yu's identity is obvious. Isn't Cheng Ling the fake daughter of the Cheng family? She definitely has to pave a way for herself."
Cheng Ling listened to the conversation inside expressionlessly while looking at the mirror.
The reason why she didn't sleep well last night was that her eyes, which never had dark circles, had a faint bruise.
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.
"The Cheng family treats Cheng Ling quite well, right? Cheng Ling's parents also came yesterday. They must have helped to plead for leniency, so the Ding family didn't pursue it. Who knows how much money they've lost and how many good words they've said."
"Right, I wonder if Lu Qi had gotten his watch. Let's ask him on WeChat after returning to class."
"That's not necessarily true. You know Cheng Xiao from class one, right? She's Cheng Ling's younger sister. She's also the legitimate daughter the Cheng family found last year."
"I know. Her grades seem to be very good. She's always in the top ten."
"I have a friend in class one. She's Cheng Xiao's good friend."
"I heard that Cheng Ling doesn't live with them at all.. She only lives with an old woman in a shabby house in the back of their home."
