Hua Sheng scratched her messy long hair and felt a little embarrassed. Indeed, she had said before that drinking was not good, now it was such a slap in the face."Last night was an accident. Everyone was drinking and I was curious, so I tried it. I won't drink alcohol again."After those words, Hua Sheng finished the bowl of sobering soup in one gulp, and then quickly got up to wash and brush her teeth.Jiang Liu reminded her three days ago that they had to go to the Jiang family manor to have dinner and spend some time with his parents.Hua Sheng suddenly remembered, so she went out to choose some gifts for her in-laws.Jiang Liu's parents were really good to Hua Sheng. They were not picky and never interfered with their private life, aside from Madam Jiang's occasional grumble about the fact that she wanted a grandson.Hua Sheng could understand why Madam Jiang would say such things. Hua Sheng had accepted it and that's why she would not feel embarrassed or awkward about it.
In the end, Mrs. Jiang just said casually, "I'm not saying this because he's my son, but Jiang Liu has been really well behaved all these years and has never flirted with women. You can rest assured of that.""I'm not worried, Mom. I have never doubted him. I'm just curious whether he had many pursuers in the past."Well, that I don't know. Your father and I never interfered with his private affairs. You'd better ask him directly."After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Hua Sheng looked at Jiang Liu and pursed her lips into a smile."Mrs. Jiang, are you here on a spy mission, trying to discover secrets about my past?""Yes, I am afraid that you will not tell me the truth, so I want to ask Mom and Dad."It was a wonderful meal. Jiang Liu's parents were very inclusive, which put Hua Sheng more at ease, and she was very willing to spend time with them.When they returned home, Hua Sheng was feeling a little tired. After all, she got totally wasted last night and had not had a good res
"What the... Aren't they from the Finance and Economics Department? Did Yu Ping offend them?""Yeah, I guess she has offended some people. I think the one with short hair is Director Wang's niece. Apparently she's learned in martial arts, so many girls are afraid of her.""Yu Ping has got it coming."None of her classmates had come forward to protect her either. On the contrary, they were all quietly gossiping. They even thought that Yu Ping had offended the director's niece.Yu Ping knew that these people did not come with good intentions but she still followed them out.As soon as she walked out of the door, she was dragged to the side by the short-haired girl.With a hard shove, Yu Ping's head hit the wall. She staggered and almost fell over as she supported herself on the wall with both hands.She turned around with a ghastly expression on her face."What do you want from me?""It's very simple. I'm here to put you in your place. Don't be so arrogant in the future.""I do
"No, no. Nothing happened. They've already beat me and cursed me. I don't think they will come for me again."Upon hearing Yu Ping's words, the girl didn't say anymore. She probably could not stand Yu Ping's cowardice.After being slapped by the short-haired girl, there was a red mark on her face. Yu Ping was afraid that Yuan Shao would see it and ask her what happened, so she deliberately found an excuse not to meet him.After school, she ran away quickly and hid.After Hua Sheng and Hua Zhi finished eating with Hua Lin, they sent her home first.When they came out, the two of them chatted for a while. Then, Hua Sheng shared Bai Hao's thoughts with Hua Zhi."This is... I'm afraid that Hua Lin will lose control, with that temper of hers."Hua Zhi also felt that Bai Hao's "act first, tell later" idea was not very good. What if Hua Lin couldn't accept the loss of her child? What happens if she overreacts and her condition gets worse?"I'm also worried about that. But for now, we
"Sheng, how come you are here?" She was a little surprised."What happened to your face?" At just a glance, Hua Sheng saw Yu Ping's cheeks were a little red and swollen. Was that... a palm print?Yu Ping instantly touched her cheeks in panic and covered her face. "I'm... fine. I'm allergic to some cosmetics, which I applied on my face."Hua Sheng did not say anything. She changed her shoes and walked in. She told Peach and Ginkgo to go back to the Villa of Abundant Youth earlier.Hua Sheng had become more accustomed to going out alone. It was just so high-profile that she would always bring along her nannies. Wherever she went, people would stare at her, which made her feel uneasy."Sheng, have some water, and here's some fruit."It was the first time that Hua Sheng had visited her here. Yu Ping was so excited that she poured her some warm water and washed some fruits for her.In fact, Yu Ping was very frugal with the way she lived. She only had apples, and they were the cheapes
Hua Sheng rarely forced anyone's will. The reason why she pushed Yu Ping to slap the girl was to teach her not to be too cowardly. If someone bullied her, she must fight back.This was also the first time in Yu Ping's life that she knew what it felt like to fight back. Although she was a little timid and afraid, she was very grateful to Hua Sheng.Those girls were stunned and didn't dare to move. Under Hua Sheng's gaze, Yu Ping slapped the girl ten times as payback. She used just the right amount of strength too."See? In the future, if anyone does anything unkind to you, you will have to pay them back in kind. Because not everyone in the world can be called human. You don't have to be polite.""Yes, I'll remember," Yu Ping nodded.Hua Sheng glanced at the short-haired girl and said, "You're the director's niece, aren't you? I'm the one responsible for what happened today. If you have any complaints, come and talk to me. If you continue to bother Yu Ping, it'll not be as easy as s
Yuan Shao was shocked by Yu Ping's words. Maybe he never thought that a timid girl like Yu Ping would ask such a blunt question."If you think it's too difficult to answer, you don't have to say anything. It's okay.""No, I have to answer you."Yuan Shao finished applying the ointment and wiped his hands.Then he looked at Yu Ping and said, "There has been a lot of rumors about us during this period of time, and the most terrible one is that I like Hua Sheng and I'm just using you to get close to her. I didn't explain it before because I thought you understood. But I overlooked the fact that girls are sensitive and suspicious by nature. I can understand that you would have doubts. So today I'll make a formal response to you. Yu Ping, I'm not. If I still had feelings for Hua Sheng, I would pursue her directly. I would not sacrifice my own happiness and waste my time by dating you. Seriously, it's not my style.""You're right, I'm so silly. Sorry, Yuan Shao.""Don't hurry to apolog
Yu Ping had never imagined that the whole family would come to the city, especially her incomparable grandmother.When they found Yu Ping, the entire group rushed in recklessly and surrounded her.They chattered on and on in their old-fashioned dialect, all the other students in the class were terribly stunned by them.Grandma said, "Girl, your city is fantastic. No wonder you don't like to go home. This is Grandma's first time seeing such tall buildings and so many big cars."Her younger brother said, "Sis, you've changed a lot. Wow, you look a hundred times better than before. Brother Erzhuzi in the village will be drooling if he sees you."Her father said, "Oh yes, our Xiaoping has changed. My goodness, I couldn't recognize her for a second."Yu Ping's mother did not speak at first. After a while, she took a look at Yu Ping and said, "It's only been a few years since you came to the city but it looks like you've learned a lot of bad things. It's fine if you don't study hard, b
