Chapter 418: 1988 (2)

Elder Liu, who had always thought that he would be able to live a carefree life after handing over the heavy burden to his granddaughter, had not been able to do so for the past two years. Chen Meng’er had thrown the matters of the Green Gang and the Liu family to Elder Liu many times. And every time Elder Liu raised a protest, Chen Meng’er would look at him with her head held high and her chest puffed out, and say, “Grandpa, I’m still a student now. How can I have so much time to deal with those trivial matters? Do you want to see your precious granddaughter’s grades drop behind because of these trivial matters?”

Every time Chen Meng’er said this, Elder Liu would be speechless. Moreover, Chen Meng’er had another trump card, which was the sole copy of those Chinese medicine books.

This was Elder Liu’s Achilles’ heel. He could be said to be addicted to Chinese medicine. Chen Meng’er had complained to Zhuge Yu and the others more than once, saying that if an opponent of the Green Gang came to look for Elder Liu with an ancient medical book, Elder Liu would definitely leave without saying a word.

Chen Meng’er had just entered the first year of high school, so she had restrained herself a lot. From the start of school until now, she had been acting like a good student and had not taken any leave. This made Chen Haoxuan, who went to school with Chen Meng’er every day, extremely surprised. He kept saying that the sun had risen from the west. And Chen Haoxuan was still in the same class as Chen Meng’er. This was what the Chen family’s parents had requested from the school.

Although their daughter, Chen Meng’er, seemed to be omnipotent, as parents, they were still worried. They were afraid that their little daughter would be bullied at school. Therefore, they felt at ease with their second son watching from the side. And Chen Meng’er’s and Chen Haoxuan’s academic results were also very good. In addition, the principal of City No. 1 high school had received some gossip and knew that Chen Meng’er’s was a person that could not be provoked.

Therefore, when the Chen family’s father suggested that Chen Meng’er and Chen Haoxuan be in the same class, the principal nodded his head and agreed without a word.

In fact, most of the students in Chen Meng’er’s class were from their original school. However, because Chen Meng’er rarely went to school, she barely knew any of these students, only a few of them were from the same class in the past, so Chen Meng’er felt that they looked familiar. As for their names, Chen Meng’er indicated that she did not match them at all.

On the other hand, Chen Meng’er’s deskmate was a chubby and cute girl. Her personality was quite lively. On the first day of school, when she was assigned to Chen Meng’er’s class. She enthusiastically introduced herself to Chen Meng’er.

“Hello, I’m Shao Tian. You’re Chen Meng’er, right?”

“Hello. Do you know me?” Chen Meng’er was a little overwhelmed by Shao Tian’s natural familiarity.

“Of course I know you. I used to be from your junior high school. You’re very famous in our school as the youngest genius. Oh, right, they also call you ‘Barbie’s Little Princess’.” Shao Tian covered her mouth and laughed.

Chen Meng’er looked embarrassed when she heard Shao Tian’s nickname. For a moment, she didn’t know what to make of it.

Shao Tian didn’t care about Chen Meng’er’s embarrassment. She started to talk to Chen Meng’er in a friendly manner. She talked about how famous Chen Meng’er was when she was in junior high school. Chen Meng’er often asked for leave. Every time Chen Meng’er returned to school, the students who received the news would come to Chen Meng’er’s class to see the little genius.

However, it was precisely because of Shao Tian’s natural familiarity that Chen Meng’er, who was slowly warming up, became good friends with Shao Tian.

Just as Chen Meng’er and Chen Haoxuan came in, Shao Tian, who was sitting in the seat, waved her arm and shouted at Chen Meng’er, “Meng’er, you’re here.”

Shao Tian’s loud voice made everyone in the class know that Chen Meng’er had arrived. Some of the boys in the class could not help but look at Chen Meng’er. Chen Meng’er was only 13 this year and she was four years younger than her classmates. However, perhaps it was because of the spring water in Chen Meng’er’s portable space or because Chen Meng’er had been practicing martial arts since she was young, Chen Meng’er was taller than her peers. She was about the same height as the girls in their class, in addition to Chen Meng’er’s exquisite facial features, many of the boys in the class could not help but look at Chen Meng’er.
