Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Playing Dumb

Translator: Lonelytree

“Brother Lin Ran, you’re a doctor. Can you tell if selective amnesia is real?” I asked him seriously. Calling him Brother Lin Ran played to his ego. “How selective do you an?” He asked.

“Well, I can’t rember anything before age 6, it’s like my mory has been wiped clean.” I tried my best to describe the feeling.

Lin Ran scratched his nose. “I can help you find a psychologist for that.”

“Alright then. But before that, can you tell everything you know about the kidnapping?” I pleaded.

Lin Ran shook his head. “No, it’s not my place to tell. That’s up to Jing Tian.”

I was a little dejected. “I ca to ask you because he refuse to tell anything.”

Lin Ran laughed. “Girl, so you’re trying to work for information? How about this? If you get a perfect score in the biology test, I’ll tell you everything I know!”

I grabbed the chance. “You have a deal.”

Lin Ran found amusing. “Do you like Jing Tian?”

I answered without hesitation. “I do.”

Lin Ran was surprised before he gave 2 thumbs up.

With Jing Tian’s full-ti and Lin Ran’s part-ti tutoring, Jing Ni and my grades improved trendously. Soon sumr break was over and we were going back to school.

As fate would have it, we ran into Li Tian and Tian Ting on the first day of school. Li Tian glanced at my feet and said scornfully, “Nan Xing, why would you still co to school? You do know there’s an exam today, right?”

Tian Ting nudged Li Tian. “She has been tutored by 7th uncle through the sumr break. She’s probably ordered to co to school to take the exam to see if she has made any progress!”

Li Tian tutted. “That’s just a waste of everyone’s ti. With the brain of hers, clearly there’s not going to be any improvent.” Then she turned to , “Do you know why your leg is injured? It’s because you’ve dominated too much of 7th uncle’s ti and God has decided to punish you for it!”

Well, that was truly a refreshing way to look at things...

In the eyes of these people, Nan Xing was a nuisance. Even if she just stood there and breathe, they would find her annoying. This was why I felt so ashad because I tried my best to curry these people’s favor in my past life. I took in all of their negative criticisms and tried to improve myself, not knowing they were only thrashing for the sake of it.

But now, I realized it was just a waste of ti to argue with clowns.

Jing Ni was fuming on my behalf, “How can you people say that? You saw with your own eyes how Nan Xing injured her feet! Do you have no heart?”

Even though Jing Ni was not valued in her family, she was ultimately the 5th Miss of the Jing Family. Li Tian and her cronies still needed to give her face.

Tian Ting grumbled, “Forget it, let’s not waste ti here.”

Li Tian said disdainfully, “Birds of a feather flock together. Only dummy will defend another dummy.” But after Li Tian said that, she scurried away for fear of retaliation from Jing Ni.

Jing Ni stomped her feet in anger. “Nan Xing! Why didn’t you say anything? You shouldn’t let them bully you!”

I tapped her arm lightly. “Ni Ni, trust and believe that karma will be coming for them.”

Jing Ni stopped to look curiously at . “Nan Xing, I notice that you always act dumb and easily bullied before outsiders. Why is that?”

I smiled and chided her jokingly. “You finally noticed?”

Jing Ni puffed her cheeks at in mock anger.

I pinched her cheeks. “Well, as you know I’m the idiotic second miss of the Nan Family, I have to live up to that title, right?”

Jing Ni grabbed my hand. “But you’re not stupid! 7th uncle knows that, I know that and even Doctor Lin Ran knows that!”

I smiled. “And isn’t that enough? I don’t care about anyone else.”

“But they’ll bully you because of it.” Jing Ni huffed indignantly.

I looked at Jing Ni and said calmly. “Ni Ni, don’t worry, I won’t let them bully forever. For now, our goal is to enter M University but before that, I’ll have to be as stupid as I can be!”

Jing Ni was confused for a mont before my plan clicked in her mind. “Nan Xing, is there anything I can help you with?” Jing Ni was as clever as I thought.

I thought about it. “We need to figure out a way for us to stay longer at your 7th uncle’s. I don’t want to go back ho, it’s not a conducive environnt for studying.”

Jing Ni nodded. “No problem! I’ll talk to Grandpa about it!” Then she hesitated, “Nan Xing, are you sure you won’t marry my big brother? My Grandpa was quite disappointed when he found out.”

I looked at her.?Silly girl, I don’t know to be your sister-in-law. I want to be your seventh aunt!

“Ni Ni, for now, I only want to focus on my study. Romance can co later. Furthermore, you saw yourself that your big brother doesn’t like but my big sister. He probably mistook for my big sister when he was young. Or sothing must have happened. After we enter M University and I have the spare ti, I’ll look further into it.”

Even though Jing Ni had no idea what I was talking about, she nodded firmly, showing her allegiance to .
