Chapter 1011: Thoughts under the Starry Sky
The ladies suppressed their laughter and nodded in agreement.
Xia Ling couldn't get angry because she had no parents and everything she said was true. Her little fingers clenched into fists at her sides, telling herself to endure it and stop causing trouble.
Pei Jingyu had ridiculed her enough, and then she said, "Teacher taught us to be tolerant, and we won't make things difficult for you. Let's do this. You can make tea for Jingmei for a semester to make amends, and forget about it."
The girl who knocked over her cup was Pei Jingmei, the one whose father went to Xia Ling to apologize with a gift a few days ago. Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief. This was indeed not a serious punishment. Who told her she had done something wrong? Pei Jingmei must have felt very sad when she broke such an important cup.
Compared to this, making tea for a semester is nothing.
So, she looked at Pei Jingmei and said, "I am willing to make tea for you to apologize."
Pei Jingmei was very delicate. Hearing this, he glanced at her reluctantly and said, "This is the only way. You can't afford to pay for such an expensive cup. If you tell the cousin, he will punish you. Even if No amount of tea you make can make up for my cup, but there’s no better way.”
Pei Jingyu smiled: "Jingmei is still generous, so let's do it."
The storm passed like this, ending with Xia Ling making tea for Pei Jingmei for a semester.
Xia Ling felt uncomfortable in her heart. Although she had done something wrong, it was really unpleasant to be lectured in such a condescending, pitiful and charitable tone. She felt depressed and looked a little languid. When she returned home for dinner, she was listless and didn't talk much.
Pei Ziheng asked her: "What, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I just didn't get used to it on the first day of class. I'm tired."
Pei Ziheng asked: "How are you getting along with your teachers and classmates? They didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
She braced herself: "They all know that I was adopted by you, how dare you embarrass me? I just didn't feel comfortable in class. You know, I came from an orphanage... there are many places where I can't keep up." These words It wasn't true. She couldn't understand many of the professional terms Teacher Gao spoke and it was very difficult for her.
Pei Ziheng knew better and thought she was just tired from class.
He cut a veal steak into finely chopped pieces, dipped it in the sauce and put it on her plate: "It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable getting used to the class, and it will get better gradually. I talked to Teacher Gao Hello, if you don’t understand anything, just ask her. Although she is strict, she is still a good teacher. She has taught two generations of girls in the Pei family. "
Xia Ling nodded, feeling relieved that she had been fooled.
In class, the whispers of the ladies still echoed in her ears - "How can such an outstanding person like her eldest cousin think so highly of her?" ][When the cousin sees her true face, he will definitely drive her out. ]
Every word touches my heart.
She didn't dare to tell him that she was bullied in class. What if he really disliked her and kicked her out? Xia Ling ate the steak in small bites, forcing a smile on her face and full of thoughts. At night, she was lying on the bed in her room, looking at the starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, unable to fall asleep. She simply got up, found the exquisite mobile phone that Pei Ziheng had given her, and dialed Xia Yu's number. Xia Yu also had a mobile phone assigned to her by Pei Ziheng, to facilitate the two sisters' contact. Soon after it rang, she was connected.
"Sister?" Xia Yu's voice sounded a little confused.
Xia Ling suddenly realized that it was already very late. "Xiaoyu, are you asleep? Did I disturb you?" Xia Ling looked at the starry sky outside the window and asked softly.
In the ward, Xia Yu frowned sleepily, looking a little impatient. However, her voice when she answered the phone was gentle, with just the right amount of joy: "How could my sister bother me? Even if I was woken up, I was still very happy to receive a call from my sister."
"Really?"
“Really,” Xia Yu said with a smile, “Is something wrong, sister?”
"I..." Xia Ling was thinking on the other end of the phone, her white and slender fingertips unconsciously curling the ends of her hair, "Xiaoyu, tell me, will one day Brother Pei no longer want us?"
Xia Yu was so frightened that she woke up from her drowsiness: "Why do you say that? Sister, have you made him angry?" As she spoke, she sat up from the hospital bed, extremely nervous. She finally recovered from her illness. There has been some improvement, and the doctor said that surgery can be arranged after a while of recovery. Don’t let anything happen at this juncture! This **** sister wouldn't mess with such an important matter!
She cursed Xia Ling in her heart, thinking about how she could protect herself if this stupid sister really **** off Pei Ziheng. "Tell me quickly, why did you offend him, and I will help you make suggestions!"
Listening to her eager and nervous voice, Xia Ling couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Sure enough, her sister still cared about her, and sisters were connected to each other. Xiaoyu was different from the "sisters" who were not related by blood in the Pei family.
"Don't worry," she comforted Xia Yu, "Nothing serious happened, it's just that I was bullied by others in class." She told Xia Yu everything that happened in the etiquette class these days, because she was hiding in her heart There were many grievances, so I talked for a long time without realizing it.
Xia Yu listened quietly and relaxed. Fortunately, this stupid sister had a bad life. Fortunately, Brother Pei didn't do anything to her! "You must not tell Brother Pei these things," Xia Yu said to her. "If he finds out that you can't do anything well, he will definitely hate you! Sister, you should be more patient, you know."
"Yeah, I know." Xia Ling's nose felt a little sore, "I won't tell him, I'm just...just a little sad. Xiaoyu, do you think we who came out of the orphanage are really inferior to others?"
Xia Yu sneered in her heart.
Who said that those who come out of the orphanage are inferior to others? She lives in the hospital these days and enjoys the treatment of a young lady. Other patients in the same building are too late to envy her! Xia Yu didn't understand. With such a shadowy backstage supporter as Pei Ziheng, how could this stupid sister get herself into such a miserable situation?
Of course, she couldn't say these words directly to her sister.
She comforted Xia Ling softly: "The situation is not as bad as you think, sister. Even if they are smarter, better than you, and better off than you... Even if you are not as good as them in every aspect, as the saying goes, the stupid bird flies first." Well, as long as you work harder, you will be able to make up for these gaps.”
