He Jing certainly knew that she would win. What a joke. She was a top student who transmigrated. How could she not win against a little kid? "So... If we were to choose sacrifice based on results, Fourth Brother should be ahead of ."
He Yuan, "This..."
He Jing let out an "ah" and said in an extrely apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Fourth Brother. I took away your chance to go to school. Eldest Brother, quickly go and call Second Brother back. The matter of tuition fees has been resolved."
He Sui had just recovered from the blow and almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this. He flew into a rage and said, "I'm not dropping out of school!"
He Jing blinked innocently, "But your studies aren't as good as mine."
He Sui choked.
He then heard her say in an exasperating tone, "Ah, could it be that Fourth Brother wants to bring Sister Cheng Yi back and let her drop out of school in your place?"
He Sui gritted his teeth, "Absolutely not!"
He said inwardly, "This damned woman!"
If it was said that he only disliked her when she first arrived, then now he simply wanted to strangle her.
He Jing smiled again. "I'm just joking. Don't take it to heart, Fourth Brother. The Cheng family has paid for my tuition fees for three years, so I will continue to study at Yin High School. As for Second Brother's tuition fee, I will find a way to handle it."
Father He's eyes imdiately brightened, and Mother He seed to be flattered. "Is that true, Jingjing?"
"It's true."
Mother He couldn't help but laugh.
According to He Jing's words, the He family could save another sum of money. This was really great.
Although the He family had always treated Cheng Yi as their biological daughter, her high tuition fees were really a heavy burden.
Now, they could finally pay off the money they owed the school.
As for He Jing's comnt about finding a way, Mother He did not take it to heart at all.
He Jing looked at He Yuan again. "Big Brother, let's go out and look for Second Brother. If he runs out like this, it won't be good if he encounters danger."
He Yuan smiled gently and said, "Alright."
Mother He felt like the dark clouds above her head dissipate, and she felt much lighter. "Then co back early. I'll go cook."
He Jing followed He Yuan out of the house.
...
The He family lived in a residential area called Goldfish Ridge. It was near a construction site where new buildings were being erected. It was quiet and sparsely populated in this area.
He Yuan and He Jing walked side by side and said to He Jing in a low voice, "Fourth Brother doesn't have any bad intentions. He just likes Xiao Yi very much. Don't lower yourself to his level."
He Jing shook her head, "I won't."
Why would she, a 25-year-old aunty, argue with a 17-year-old kid?
He Yuan glanced at the construction site in front of him and said worriedly, "Let's go and look for Xiao Ning together."
He Jing wasn't familiar with the surrounding environnt, so she naturally didn't want to be presumptuous and readily agreed. Then, the two of them walked through the construction site and arrived at a lively sports field. He Ning was sitting on a swing and watching primary school students play basketball.
He Yuan said, "Wait for here."
He walked towards He Ning alone.
He Jing stood where she was as she watched He Yuan and He Ning talk about sothing.
After a mont, He Ning turned to look at her, his eyes extrely cold.
He pursed his thin lips slightly, and his handso face was filled with expressions such as "troubleso" and "unhappy".
Then, he left He Yuan behind and walked alone in the direction of the He family.
He Yuan turned around and said to He Jing, "Let's go, we'll go back too."
He Jing looked at He Ning's back and nodded. "Alright."
Then, the two of them followed He Ning and slowly made their way back ho.
When He Ning returned ho, he clearly felt that the atmosphere at ho was not right. Father He was sitting on the sofa reading yesterday's newspaper, and the corners of his mouth curled up as if he had won a lottery of five million. He Xiaoguo was playing with a cheap frog clockwork toy, but his mind was not on it. He kept glancing in the direction of the door.
