Chapter 6
He Jing’s soft voice was full of a young girl’s coquettish naivety, with a hint of playfulness and complaint in her tone. She said slowly, “Fourth Brother, you’re so funny.”
He Sui felt like he was being ridiculed and his attitude became sharper. “I’m not your fourth brother. I only have Xiao Yi as a sister.”
He Jing raised her eyebrows and said with a little grievance, “Alright, then… Fourth Brother, allow me to ask, who made the decision to let Cheng Yi drop out of school?”
Of course, it was a decision made by the whole family.
Among the eight children, seven boys were all outstanding. Only Cheng Yi had poor grades and attended an expensive third-rate high school. It could be said that she was the biggest burden for the whole family.
Even though He Sui never felt that she was a burden.
“What does this have to do with you? Anyways, Xiao Yi is a thousand times better than you.”
He Jing smiled lightly and said, “Actually, I know it even if you don’t say it. This was a decision made by our parents after discussion. It’s because Cheng Yi’s academic performance wasn’t good, right?”
In the living room, their Father and Mother were suddenly called out. They couldn’t help but look at each other in bewilderment.
He Jing was right. This was what they had decided after discussion. Although their seven sons doted on Cheng Yi and didn’t want her to drop out of school, in their hearts, their sons and daughters were all flesh and blood of theirs. They could not be biased towards any one of them. Therefore, they decided to suspend their studies based on their final grades. Unfortunately, Cheng Yi ended up ranking last.
It was really embarrassing to be seen through. He Jing’s parents were afraid that she would look down on them and think that they valued boys over girls. However, they did not expect He Jing to smile. “But I’ve always been ranked first in class.”
He Sui’s body stiffened.
Father He and Mother He were completely shocked.
A strange expression flashed across the eldest brother, He Yuan’s face, and then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
How could this be…
She clearly seemed like the kind of girl who was aloof from worldly matters. She would have afternoon tea with her friends today, and go shopping at the mall tomorrow. She would casually take the college entrance examination. Then, she would wait to be sent abroad for further studies and to be gilded.
He Jing spoke leisurely, “Fourth Brother, you’re in your third year of high school this year, right? Why don’t we have a math competition?”
He Sui was about to laugh. He looked at her with endless pity. First High School was a key provincial high school, and he had never fallen out of the top ten in the school. He relied on his academic record to receive excellent performance allowances every year. How could he compare with her in solving math problems?
Heh.
“Alright, don’t blame me for bullying you.”
He Sui was very proud of his abilities and did not take He Jing’s so-called top rank in the class in his eyes seriously at all. He knew that she attended an elite high school filled with wealthy kids who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. She was the best among the dandies. It was unlike First High School. There were so many people in the province taking the middle school examination together, and only a few could enter.
He Jing smiled even sweeter and blinked. “Then please go easy on me, Fourth Brother.”
The youngest brother, He Xiaoguo, looked at the eldest brother, He Yuan, timidly. His face was wrinkled and he was worried.
Although the new sister looked very capable, He Sui was really amazing…
He Yuan also felt uneasy and could not help but say, “Jingjing, you should rest more since you have just arrived…”
He Jing tilted her head, and her big, watery eyes were as charming as grapes. “Big Brother, I’m really powerful. You can’t doubt my strength.”
However, He Sui had already taken out the two test papers that he had to do tonight from his bag and slammed them on the table. Then, he glanced at He Yuan and said arrogantly, “Big Brother, don’t worry. I’ll take it easy on her.”
However, the more he spoke, the more He Yuan knew that his fighting spirit had been ignited. He would definitely do his best to humiliate He Jing.
