Ji Yinbing still straightened her back and told the girl neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Master Yan Nuo allowed me to go upstairs.”
Upon hearing this, the girl seemed to have heard a joke.
“Yan Nuo? Will he allow a lowly person like you to go upstairs?” The girl called for La Pu and asked him, “Is she lying?”
La Pu was more troubled, but he told the girl respectfully and honestly. He said, “Miss Vera, she’s not lying. Young Master did allow her to enter the house. Besides, her room is upstairs. She has the right to go upstairs.”
Vera looked at Ji Yinbing with a sharp and piercing gaze.
“Ha.”
She smiled ambiguously.
At that time, Ji Yinbing did not understand what her laughter meant and only ran upstairs.
At night, when Ji Yinbing came downstairs to eat with the other servants, she heard them discussing the lady. Only then did Ji Yinbing know that Miss Vera’s relationship was indeed extraordinary. Not only was she Yan Nuo’s acknowledged childhood sweetheart, but her father, Neya, and Yan Nuo’s mother, Yan Mei, were both the founders of the Black Fiend Mercenary Group.
Later, on a mission, Neya died to protect Yan Mei.
After he died, Yan Mei took Vera as her adopted daughter.
Come to think of it, Vera was Yan Nuo’s foster sister and another young master of the Black Fiend Mercenary family.
Her status was naturally extraordinary.
Ji Yinbing listened silently and thought, “So what? She’s not my little master. If I didn’t do anything to disrespect her, there wouldn’t be a problem.”
At this moment, a maid called Na Ya told Ji Yinbing, “Bing, be careful. Miss Vera is very willful. If she doesn’t like someone, she will chase them away.”
Ji Yinbing said, “I didn’t offend her.”
“But you’re someone Little Master brought back. Everyone Little Master cares about is a thorn in Miss Vera’s side.”
Ji Yinbing, who was only eight or nine years old, still did not understand what she meant.
She did not understand that Miss Vera hated her because the young master had brought her back.
Vera did not appear again for the next ten days.
Ji Yinbing had almost forgotten about this person.
Today was the school’s break. Ji Yinbing wore her school uniform and quickly returned home. Before she entered the house, she heard a smiling female voice.
It was Vera.
Ji Yinbing looked up at the house and saw Vera. She also saw Yan Nuo and Yan Yu, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Yan Nuo seemed to have become tan. He had only been away for a month, but he seemed to have grown taller.
The girl called Vera was wearing a sky blue handmade sari outfit. She was still young, but her figure was well-developed. She stood in front of Yan Nuo and said something. Yan Nuo smiled at her.
That smile was like a flash in the pan, blooming quickly but also quickly retracting.
Ji Yinbing was stunned.
Little Master must care a lot about this girl.
Those cold boys would only smile in front of the girl they liked.
Ji Yinbing had decided to treat Miss Vera well in the future.
She might be her future mistress.
When Ji Yinbing entered the house, Vera suddenly stopped talking.
She glanced at Ji Yinbing and said to Yan Nuo, “Brother Yan Nuo, I heard from La Pu that you let this girl stay in a small room on the third floor?”
Yan Nuo raised his eyebrows and nodded.
He tilted his head and stared at Ji Yinbing. Then, without caring about the occasion or the difference in status, he strode to Ji Yinbing. Just as Ji Yinbing thought that he was going to say something important, Yan Nuo asked, “Have you been studying well recently?”
Ji Yinbing was speechless.
Under Vera’s hostile gaze, Ji Yinbing replied, “Master, I’ve been studying well.”
“Do you understand everything?”
Ji Yinbing added, “Yes, but not everything. I’ve made marks.”
Yan Nuo nodded and said, “Come and find me tonight.”
Sensing that Vera’s expression had darkened, Ji Yinbing braced herself and agreed.
Ji Yinbing didn’t want to be in Vera’s way anymore and quickly ran upstairs.
After she left, Vera suddenly said to Yan Nuo, “Your attitude towards that lowly person is too good.”
Yan Nuo said, “She’s an ambitious girl. She’s willing to be my slave for the sake of studying. I have to care about her studies. I can’t let her give up for nothing.”
But Vera said, “She’s just a cheap person. It’s already good enough that you’re willing to bring her out of that slum. Yan Nuo, you don’t really think that she can make a name for herself, do you?” Vera’s tone was mocking.
Yan Nuo fell into deep thought.
Just as Vera thought that he had been convinced, Yan Nuo said, “I think the possibility of her making a name for herself is higher than yours.”
Vera was speechless.
At the side, Yan Yu laughed impudently.
Vera was a little angry. “Brother Yan Nuo, if you continue like this, I’ll be angry.”
Yan Nuo shut up.
At night, when they were having dinner at their house, Vera asked the girl called Bing to serve her. Ji Yinbing carefully looked at Yan Nuo. Yan Nuo looked at Vera, then at Ji Yinbing and nodded.
Ji Yinbing walked to Vera’s side.
Ji Yinbing had to pick up any dish that Vera wanted.
Ji Yinbing did as she was told.
At the side, Yan Nuo pretended not to see it and ate his own food. Although Yan Nuo did not like this, he did not stop her. After Vera finished her meal and played for a while, Ji Yinbing went to the servant room to eat.
She took the remaining bowl of cold rice and quickly ate a few mouthfuls.
As she was eating, Ji Yinbing suddenly found a shadow covering her back.
She turned around with the bowl and saw Yan Yu.
Yan Yu leaned against the door frame. She had not changed her clothes and was still wearing a short shirt and jeans. She held a rose in her left hand and tugged at the petals with her right. Ji Yinbing quickly put down the bowl, stood up, and bowed to Yan Yu. “Master.”
She remained silent and continued to trample on the flowers.
Ji Yinbing plucked all the petals and threw the thorny rose branch on the ground. She used her toes to step on it ruthlessly. Ji Yinbing watched her movements and did not speak.
Yan Yu he said, “Do you know what I’m doing?”
Ji Yinbing didn’t dare to say it.
Yan Yu said, “I’m trampling a flower.” After a pause, Yan Yu added, “Just like what Vera did to you.”
She was saying that what Vera had done tonight was trampling on her.
How could Ji Yinbing not know? However, she was still young. She was still a slave with nothing. She could not do anything.
Yan Yu walked over and raised Ji Yinbing’s chin with a finger. She looked down at the little girl’s palm-sized face and bent down to look into her eyes. She told her, “Today, Vera will trample on your dignity, tomorrow, there will be Nata, and the day after tomorrow, there will be Tania. Why? Because you’re lowly and inconspicuous and you’re not powerful enough for them to look down on you! You can only work harder. When you’re above everyone and are respected, no one can bully you.”
She gently wiped her fingers on Ji Yinbing’s chin and said, “This world is very big. India is not the only country in the world. China, America, England, France… When you personally go to other countries, get to know more people, come into contact with higher education, and have higher ideals, you will realize that Vera is nothing at most. She is just a self-righteous clown in a feudal and backward country!”
“But now, even if she’s just a clown, she can still play with you easily.”
Yan Yu retracted her hand and retreated to the door, staring down at Ji Yinbing.
“I think very highly of you. Don’t disappoint me.”
With that, she turned around and disappeared from Ji Yinbing’s vision.
Ji Yinbing’s body trembled from her words. It was as if something in her body wanted to explode. She knew that it was her unyielding and indignant heart!
After this night, Ji Yinbing seemed to have become a different person.
At school, she started to take the initiative to talk to the teachers. Even if some teachers despised her for being born with a lowly status and refused to touch her, they would still patiently answer her questions when she asked difficult questions. She started to make friends and learn more.
Vera would still come every once in a while, but Ji Yinbing no longer looked at her.
What was she?
She was just a little girl who was spoiled because her family was rich and loved.
Putting all these aside, she was not even qualified to carry her shoes.
In the final exam of the fourth grade to the fifth grade, Ji Yinbing was the first place in the school and scored full marks in mathematics. Her results shocked everyone. Someone reported her to the teachers, saying that she had plagiarized someone. They said that it was impossible for an uneducated peasant to achieve such good results.
Facing the teacher’s questions, Ji Yinbing was neither humble nor arrogant. She said, “I didn’t cheat.”
However, the teacher found it unbelievable.
In the end, the teachers and school did not protect Ji Yinbing.
They were still standing beside the other elites.
Under the gaze of the teachers and students, Ji Yinbing’s desk was moved to the field. She had to take another test in front of the entire school.
Even though she was being stared at by ten thousand people, and their gazes were disdainful as if they were looking at a little mouse in a ditch, Ji Yinbing still straightened her backbone. The more they looked at her with disdain now, the more they will look up to her in the next year.
She had to fight for herself, for the future, for everyone in the slums who were not favored, and for the girls who were disadvantaged in this country!
Ji Yinbing was retaking her exam under the scorching sun of the field. Yan Nuo heard the news and rushed over.
The sun was very bright, making one dizzy.
Yan Nuo stood at the front of the crowd and watched as the little girl sweated profusely, but she did not stop writing. In an instant, the young man’s blue eyes lit up a little. He walked to the middle of the field and opened a white umbrella for Ji Yinbing.
Ji Yinbing looked up and saw Yan Nuo.
The corners of her lips twitched.
Yan Nuo didn’t say much. He said, “Do it. I’m here.”
At this time, Ji Yinbing still did not understand what love was. However, this sentence made her feel at ease..
