Mo Chengxi smiled briefly and kissed her hard on her forehead. “All right. You’re so clever you will certainly succeed in the future. Look at my aunt; she is doing very well. In the future, I will ask her to teach you properly so that you can navigate the capital’s social circles with ease!”
“Uhm! I will be a good student.”
Mo Chengxi was delighted that the little girl was able to accept it. He hugged her and coaxed her to sleep.
“But it’s already so late. What will you do if I fall asleep?”
Mo Chengxi laughed and said, “When you sleep, I will leave. Don’t bother about . Just close your eyes and have a good rest. You still have many things to deal with!”
Zhong Bingyuan wanted to say sothing else, but Mo Chengxi imdiately put on a fierce face. “Be good!”
The girl imdiately obediently closed her eyes to sleep.
She slept very soundly. When Zhong Bingyuan opened her eyes the next morning, the sun had already risen.
She looked around. Mo Chengxi had disappeared long ago. She glanced at the window and realized it had been properly closed. He had left no trace.
Zhong Bingyuan pursed her lips when she rembered what Mo Chengxi had said to her last night. She lay in bed and thought for two hours before she got up and got dressed.
By the ti she tidied herself and went downstairs, it was almost 10 o’clock.
During that interval, Zheng Lin had sent servants to call her twice. She herself had gone to call Zhong Bingyuan once, but the latter had not opened the door.
When she went downstairs, she found Zheng Lin sitting in the living room, a grim expression on her face.
No one else was at ho. Zhong Bingyuan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the living room.
As she descended the stairs, she glanced at a servant and said, “Hurry up and bring my breakfast. I’m hungry!”
When Zheng Lin saw Zhong Bingyuan coming downstairs, she wanted to reprimand her. But before she could speak, she heard Zhong Bingyuan’s words. She imdiately exploded.
“Stand there. I forbid you to leave!” She said to the servant. Then she turned to Zhong Bingyuan. “You’re finally up? What ti is it? How can soone of your age be so ill-disciplined? I sent soone to call you twice, but you didn’t even open the door. Now you’re hungry? No breakfast for you!”
Zhong Bingyuan looked at the servant and narrowed her eyes dangerously. “Did you hear when I asked you to go and prepare my breakfast? I’m the young lady in this household. Don’t my words carry any weight? Let tell you, in the Zhong family, I can fire whoever I please and Grandfather and Father certainly won’t object.
“But it won’t be as easy for my mother to get rid of you!”
The servant was startled. She stood there, stunned!
Eldest Young Lady had grown up in a loving family. She was the only girl in the family and was deeply cherished. Besides, she was Fourth Young Master Mo’s girlfriend, so her position in the family was no ordinary one.
But she had always been very obedient towards Madam…
“Did you hear ?” Zhong Bingyuan bellowed.
The servant got a fright and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes, I’m going now. Miss, please wait a while.”
The servant was so frightened she hurried to the kitchen. Zhong Bingyuan grunted coldly and nonchalantly sat down at the dining table.
Zheng Lin was in shock!
She recovered her wits after a long ti and pointed at Zhong Bingyuan with a trembling finger. “You… what did you just say?”
Zhong Bingyuan sat there with a cold expression and replied, “You heard correctly. I said that, in this family, my words have greater weight than yours.”
“Zhong Bingyuan!” Zheng Lin scread. “I am your mother. What kind of attitude is this?”
Zhong Bingyuan raised her head and smiled at her. “I’m your daughter. What kind of attitude do you have? I have made so much effort over the years and finally have such an exceptional boyfriend. My auspicious day is imminent, but you, you keep giving trouble and dragging down. In the end, you crazily went to find an unsuitable match for . Are you trying to harm your own daughter?”
