Chapter 1009: belated punishment
Chapter 1009 Delayed Punishment
Fortunately, she is naturally beautiful and stunning.
According to the jargon, some people look good even if they are wearing a rag - Xia Ling is such a person.
The image consultant closed his eyes and thought, and matched Xia Ling according to the standards for matching clothes for Pei Ziheng. Regardless of the style and color, they were all chosen to be similar to Pei Ziheng's. Simple and elegant dark gray, light gray soot, soft dark blue, light blue, and light blue, with some black and white and a few embellishments that girls like, it is unexpectedly beautiful.
Xia Ling wears it to go to class.
Stepping into the classroom door, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Today she is no longer the colorful little peacock who strayed into a flock of swans. She looks extremely beautiful and elegant. She has also become a noble swan, even the most graceful and outstanding one among the whole flock of swans.
Jealousy burns brightly in many people’s hearts.
Only this time, they didn't show it too obviously.
Since last time in the classroom, Xia Ling was taken away by Pei Ziheng himself, no matter how stupid these girls are, they have discovered that she has an incredible background. Who dares to offend Pei Ziheng's people? Many young ladies were scolded by their parents after returning home, scolding them for being short-sighted, and even taking some of their beloved belongings to Xia Ling as compensation...
So what if they are no longer willing?
The situation is stronger than the person.
But this does not mean that they like Xia Ling. The concept of hierarchy has long been ingrained in the hearts of these well-dressed young ladies. Do you want them to be on an equal footing with a small beggar? Bah, this is an insult to them! Many of them are already thinking in their hearts that when Pei Ziheng gets tired of Xia Ling one day, they must make her look good.
Xia Ling stood at the door of the classroom and glanced around.
She found that her classmates were a little weirdly quiet, and they didn't seem to like her much...
It's really strange. Didn't their family give her so many gifts to apologize to her last time? She couldn't figure out the temperament of these young ladies, and doubts flashed through her mind, but she didn't think much about it. She saw an empty desk not far away and was about to sit on it.
“Miss Xia Ling.” Suddenly, a voice stopped her.
Xia Ling turned around and saw a woman wearing a business suit and a high bun.
“Teacher Gao.” She called softly, recognizing the teacher she had met last time.
Teacher Gao wore silver-rimmed glasses. Behind the glasses, he looked at her with sharp eyes: "Do you know you are wrong?"
Xia Ling was slightly stunned, right? What's wrong?
Teacher Gao told her: "Miss Xia Ling, the last time you fought with Miss Pei Jingshan and Pei Jingmei, they were all punished, but you are the only one who has not been punished. So, I will punish you today."
The other ladies below unconsciously showed expressions of gloating.
They have long known that Teacher Gao is very strict in teaching and has clear rewards and punishments. No matter you are the daughter of a family elder or the daughter of the head of the family, she will treat you equally and will not be lenient when punishment is due.
Xia Ling was speechless. She had forgotten that this was happening.
“They provoked me first.” She defended in a low voice.
Teacher Gao raised his eyebrows: "I don't care who of you provokes who first, as long as fighting is wrong! You are all the ladies of the Pei family. From now on, you will represent the image of the Pei family when you go out. If someone sees you fighting outside , they don’t care about right and wrong, they just say, the lady of the Pei family hit someone! You have disgraced the whole family! Moreover, others will think you are uneducated, no matter what your reasons are!"
Teacher Gao’s voice was stern. Xia Ling felt aggrieved. She wanted to say that she was not a young lady from the Pei family, but when she thought of Pei Ziheng, she swallowed the words silently. If he adopted her, wouldn't she be no different from Miss Pei?
“Do you understand?!” Teacher Gao asked her sharply.
She nodded humbly.
“Why don’t you speak? Are you mute?!” Teacher Gao was even more fierce.
Several Pei family ladies were covering their mouths and laughing in the audience, watching her show with great interest. Does this little beggar, a wild girl from the countryside, know what etiquette is? Do you know what it means to be generous and articulate? Looking at the petty arrogance of this person, he should make a fool of himself!
Xia Ling caught a glimpse of them laughing out of the corner of her eye, and felt even more aggrieved. It turned out that it was useless even after accepting those gifts. They still didn't like her? As she was thinking wildly, she felt a cold and slender pointer lift her chin. Unprepared, she looked into Teacher Gao's stern eyes behind her lenses: "If you lose your mind while the teacher is lecturing, the crime will be increased. Miss Xia Ling, Please answer me, do you understand?"
“I understand!” She was intimidated by Teacher Gao’s momentum and quickly replied.
"Very good," Teacher Gao let her go with satisfaction. "Now that you understand, you go and stand over there. You have to stand in class all day today. As you did last time when we had a fight and this time when the teacher lectured you, The punishment for wandering.”
Xia Ling obediently went to the classroom wall and stood at the spot designated by Teacher Gao.
The other ladies gloated over her punishment. Many of the ladies had been punished for fighting with her before, and now it was her turn to be punished, and they felt very happy. Haha, at least there were many people accompanying them when they were punished, and they were not allowed to see this little beggar. And when this little beggar was punished, they all watched! After all, they still made money.
The ladies were in a very happy mood.
Teacher Gao started giving lectures and told them all kinds of etiquette knowledge.
Xia Ling stood still at first, but soon she felt tired and her little shoulders slumped.
"Stand still!" Teacher Gao was facing the classroom, but he kept paying attention to her from the corner of his eye. When he saw her shoulders slumped, he hit her with a pointer, "Did you not have enough food in the morning? Did you stand still?" Look, all the beggars on the roadside look better than you!"
Xia Ling was suddenly slapped so painfully that she cried out "ah".
Teacher Gao lashed out with the pointer again: "What's the name? Ladies can't yell and scream casually, do you understand?"
Xia Ling's eyes were filled with mist, but she remained silent. Two strokes of the pointer on her shoulder were painful. Teacher Gao refused to let her go and struck her with another whip: "Stand up straight! Stand up straight here!"
She struck her on the shoulder which was not straight enough.
Xia Ling tried her best to straighten her body.
"Put your chest up! Tighten your abdomen! Keep your legs flat! Don't move your hands!" Teacher Gao said, then spanked her once. She spanked him for more than ten times before stopping with satisfaction. He looked at the girl standing by the wall with an upright posture. He turned around and continued to lecture.
Xia Ling was very tired from standing, but she didn't dare to move.
Every time you make a move, you will be whipped immediately.
Having she ever had such a strict etiquette class since she was a child? Less than an hour later, my whole body was shaky. Teacher Gao shook his head secretly in his heart, why is this girl so squeamish? She deliberately trained her and took class for a while. When Xia Ling finally couldn't hold on anymore and was about to collapse, she announced that get out of class was over.
There will be another update tonight, which will be a few hours late. I recently had altitude sickness in Yunnan, and my sleep is irregular. I have insomnia and I need to catch up on my sleep. .
