Chapter 87 - The Smart Aleck
Chapter 87: The Smart Aleck
Qin Jiatong’s tone was tactful and sincere. She looked like she was consoling her sister for the good of the family. “Although you and Grandpa and Grandma are close, mom and I also remember Grandma and Grandpa very well. We are a family and shouldn’t be separated from each other. Sister, you don’t know that mom has been worried about Grandpa and Grandma for the past two days, but you did not pick up her calls. Grandpa and Grandma even misunderstood her…”
In front of the school building, people in twos and threes couldn’t help but cast their gazes on Qin Yiyi.
There were also people who were secretly making comments.
“If that’s really the case, isn’t this Qin Yiyi too overbearing?”
“Exactly. Look at Qin Jiatong talking to her like this, yet she doesn’t even look at her…”
Qin Jiatong listened to the faint discussions behind her, and a flash of delight flashed across the depths of her eyes.
So what if Qin Yiyi was studying well now?
She could make Qin Yiyi unable to stay in this school with just a few words.
Rumors could kill people!
She didn’t believe that Qin Yiyi could dodge it.
Qin Yiyi just watched indifferently, her gaze calm and indifferent.
Until she turned her head away unnaturally when she saw the few girls who were talking.
She curled her lips slightly and tilted her head to look at Qin Jiatong. She chuckled. “You miss Grandma and Grandpa? You miss Grandma and Grandpa? Do you know what Grandma and Grandpa like to eat the most? Do you know what kind of illness grandma has? Do you know why Grandma and Grandpa haven’t come to Shanghai after living in the countryside for so many years? How many times have you called Grandma and Grandpa in the past ten years? As for your so-called mother who also misses Grandma and Grandpa and wants to let the two old people who came from the countryside thousands of miles away stay in a hotel?”
“Not to mention that these two old people are her biological parents. The old people who are in their sixties or seventies should stay in a hotel?”
“Does your Qin family not have a house to stay in? Or have there been too many guests recently, so that Mrs. Qin, as the mistress of the Qin family, can’t even vacate a house for her parents to stay in for a few days? Oh, or is it because your Qin family is about to go bankrupt, and even the house you are living in now has to be mortgaged to go through the transition?”
“Sister!”
Qin Jiatong didn’t expect Qin Yiyi to actually say all these things out loud.
One should not expose one’s dirty laundry to the public!
How could she dare…
That’s right, Qin Yiyi probably thought that she was not valued by the Qin family anyway.
So she just broke the rules?
She furrowed her brows slightly, and her eyes reddened little by little.
“Sister, you’re also a member of the Qin family. How can you curse your parents to go bankrupt? As for mom letting Grandpa and Grandma stay in a hotel, I think mom has her own ideas. Moreover, Grandpa and Grandma are so old, they should want to stay in a quiet place…”
“Oh, your hotel is quiet. Then why don’t you go stay there?”
It was unknown who couldn’t bear to say this to Qin Jiatong.
Qin Yiyi smiled and shook her head. His gaze once again swept across the embarrassed faces of a few girls not far away. Her red lips lifted slightly.
“Don’t try to persuade her to be kind if she doesn’t suffer. If you don’t know about other people’s matters, it’s better for you to speak less next time.”
Then, she nodded lightly at the girl who spoke up for her just now and left.
What was there to say to these people? It was a waste of time and energy!
“Let’s go, let’s hurry back to the classroom.”
“Hey, wait for me. I still have a question that I haven’t figured out yet. Tell me quickly…”
“Let’s go to the classroom first. The teacher is already here…”
A few girls ran past Qin Jiatong.
No one looked at her.
Qin Jiatong stood where she was, biting her lip as she stood there with tears about to fall out of her eyes.
Beside her ears were the discussions of the girls who had spoken up for her earlier.
And they were the ones who deliberately raised their voice.
“Qin Jiatong, you’re not staying in your family’s villa. There should be a lot of houses, right? Why did you let your grandparents stay in the hotel outside?”
“That’s right, Qin Jiatong. Just now, Qin Yiyi said that you haven’t called your grandparents to visit them for more than ten years. Is that true?”
“Qin Jiatong, why did your mother let your grandparents stay in a hotel?”
“You guys don’t have to ask. I don’t know anything…”
Qin Jiatong was so embarrassed by the girls’ questions that she bit her lip and ran away with tears on her face.
The girls watched her run away and pursed their lips.
I don’t know why you think you can criticize Qin Yiyi so righteously.
But it’s really…
Forget it, they’d better not get involved in the matters between the two sisters in the future.
The girls looked at each other and shook their heads as they walked out of the school.
On the way home, Ding Yi drove at a steady and fast speed.
Qin Yiyi leaned against the back of her chair and squinted her eyes, thinking that she had to prepare a few more doses of medicine for the old lady at home.
In addition to her acupuncture…
It was likely that she would be able to help grandma recover.
At the door of the house, Ding Yi helped Qin Yiyi open the car door. “Miss Qin, I have something to do tomorrow. I will need three to five days to come back. In the next few days, someone else will come to pick you up in the morning. I will send you his contact information later…”
Qin Yiyi rejected them all. “I can go by myself.”
“No.”
Ding Yi rejected without thinking. “This matter was arranged by Mr. Shang. Don’t worry, Miss Qin. There are many people around.”
So, they had nothing better to do than to drive behind her?
She shook her head. She knew that it would be useless to say anything more, so she simply let Ding Yi arrange it.
However, she had a thought in her mind.
Perhaps it was time to get a driver’s license and buy a scooter.
At home.
Old Master Fang was cooking in the kitchen while Old Lady Fang was still watching cartoons in the living room.
It was red wolf who was holding a pot and taking pictures of gray wolf..
Old Lady watched with a smile. From time to time, she would clap her hands and hit her a few more times.
Qin Yiyi, “…”
After changing her shoes, she went back to her room and changed into her home clothes. She washed her hands and walked out.
Old Lady Fang was watching the animation with rapt attention.
She didn’t even look at her.
Qin Yiyi, who was being despised, shook her head in amusement and walked into the kitchen.
“Grandpa, what are you doing? It smells so good outside.”
“Your favorite dish is braised fish with mushrooms and stewed chicken. This is green vegetables. Your grandmother wanted to eat eggs, so I cooked them for her and then steamed them…”
Qin Yi smiled. “Then let’s eat. But Grandpa, you steam two more. I want to eat steamed eggs too.”
In front of Grandpa Fang, Qin Yiyi felt like she had really become a child.
She could do whatever she wanted!
Seeing the chicken pieces on the side coming out of the pot, she reached out, picked one up and threw it into her mouth.
It was so hot that it was scalding.
Grandfather Fang glared at her. “How old are you? You don’t know if it’s hot, right? Have you washed your hands?”
“Yes, I’ve washed them.”
In a childish manner, Qin Yiyi placed her hands in front of Old Master Fang.
“Grandpa, look. Isn’t it clean?”
“Alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and help me carry the food. Let’s eat now.”
Old Master Fang’s cooking skills had always been very good. The home-cooked dishes had all the colors, fragrance, and taste.
Qin Yiyi rubbed her round belly and looked dainty.
“Grandpa, I’m going to be fat.”
“It’s good to be fat, it’s good to be fat.”
It was Old Lady Fang who spoke.
She looked at Qin Yiyi with disdain. “Look at you, you’ve become so thin. From now on, you’ll follow Grandma. Grandma will raise you until you’re white, fat, and chubby.”
Why did the grandmas always want to raise their grandkids like a pig?
If they were white, fat, and chubby, could they be killed and sold for the New Year?
The corners of Qin Yiyi’s mouth twitched, but she still smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll follow Grandma from now on. I’ll go wherever Grandma goes.”
“My Yiyi is the best.”
Qin Yiyi let the old lady rub her little head.
In order to cooperate, she even lowered her head slightly. It was Old Master Fang who couldn’t stand the sight of his granddaughter being bullied in his wife’s hands.
“Your grandmother’s mind is a little unclear right now, and she doesn’t do things properly. If there’s anything wrong with her, don’t always follow her orders.”
She was still a child.
How could he let a child suffer?
Qin Yiyi smiled. “My grandmother is good in every way!”
In Qin Yiyi’s eyes, weren’t Old Master Fang and Old Lady Fang good in every way?
The next morning, after breakfast, she opened the door and saw the person who had come to drive her. She realized that it was actually Yang Huaijun.
No wonder Ding Yi had said that she knew him yesterday evening.
When he saw Qin Yiyi coming downstairs, Yang Huaijun’s face was full of respect.
“Good morning, Miss Qin. Do you want to go to school now?”
“Before going to school, I’ll make a trip to this place.”
Qin Yiyi gave Yang Huaijun an address. It was an old Chinese medicine store.
The business was barely keeping up.
However, Qin Yiyi had been there a few times before. The medicinal herbs sold there were better than those sold in regular hospitals!
“Okay, Miss Qin. Sit tight. I’ll start the car immediately.”
The car started.
Qin Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but she still looked at Yang Huaijun.
“How’s your health recently? Do you feel unwell?”
“No, I’m fine. Thank you, Miss Qin.”
Yang Huaijun said this from the bottom of his heart. He wished he could worship Qin Yiyi.
It was a life-saving grace.
He had heard from Xu Zhuoyuan that the hospital had already announced his death.
When everyone was ready to give up, Miss Qin appeared and saved him…
If it weren’t for Miss Qin, he wouldn’t be in this world. Who knew how his sister would be bullied then?
“Miss Qin, from now on, your matters are my matters…”
Qin Yiyi looked at the pious expression on his face and smiled lightly.
“There’s no need.”
After a pause, she looked at Yang Huaijun and said calmly, “I didn’t save you because of you.” It was because of the faint connection between his body and her senior brother!
However, was this person in front of her the descendant of her senior brother?
She frowned slightly and calculated secretly. The result was that waves of emotions rose and fell in her heart.
Her throat felt hot.
Qin Yiyi had to give up again.
It seemed that her current body still couldn’t bear this karma!
She asked the Old Chinese medicine doctor to give her the medicine according to the amount she had written. After the medicine was arranged, Qin Yiyi returned to the school.
Yang Huaijun was very polite. “Miss Qin, take care. I’ll pick you up after school in the afternoon.”
Qin Yiyi waved at him and turned around to enter the school.
She had been called by Teacher Zhou.
Because it was just winter break, there were still some classes making up lessons, and some students had not returned home yet.
But in the end, there were fewer people.
Qin Yiyi went straight to Teacher Zhou’s office and raised her hand to lightly knock twice.
“Teacher Zhou, can I come in?”
“Hurry up and come in.”
Teacher Zhou was busy. When he saw Qin Yiyi come over, he directly threw a stack of documents to her.
“This is some information that the city needs. There are also some that the school needs for the beginning of spring. This is the summary of the information. Hurry up and help me sort it out.”
Qin Yiyi, “…” She knew that it was not a good thing to be called over by Teacher Zhou!
After copying for a short while, she became a little impatient.
“Teacher Zhou, can I stop copying? Or, can you find someone else to copy?”
“I’ve seen it. Your handwriting is the best in our class.”
Qin Yiyi, “…” If only she had made her handwriting uglier!
They had lunch at a small restaurant near the school.
Qin Yiyi ordered a dish and a soup herself. After eating, she went back to Teacher Zhou’s office to gather more information.
She was busy until three o’clock in the afternoon before Teacher Zhou left.
“The new year is coming soon. You can take these home first. But remember to bring them to me before school starts.”
Qin Yiyi looked at Teacher Zhou. “Can I say no?”
“No.”
Teacher Zhou smiled happily. “Unless you want to continue to study early and late in the spring, and you can’t ask for leave.”
Qin Yiyi, “…” She knew that the form teacher was the most detestable!
She carried a stack of documents out of the school gate.
Qin Yiyi thought that she was going to take a taxi home. She had already thought of sending a message to Yang Huaijun on the way home.
In the end, she was slightly stunned when she saw the person standing there.
Then, she walked over with a faint smile.
“Brother Shang, when did you come back?”
Shang Jingheng was dressed in a black windbreaker that complemented his long legs. His aura was sharp and stern.
The cold aura around him seemed to be making way for his sharp aura!
Until he saw the girl with faint eyes and a white down jacket appear.
The aura on his body instantly changed.
His entire body was as warm as spring. “Yiyi, I’m here to bring you home.”
