Ch 55: Did You Cheat?
“Of course not.” Ye Mei smiled, “When Beijun was little, he was more lively and cute than he is now, and many uncles and aunties liked him.”
“But he was also particularly fond of crying. He would cry when he fell, and he would cry if adults didn’t pay attention to him…” Ye Mei recalled the past, her face filled with a happy glow.
But at the same time, she felt sorry for her child. Why did he change from a little crybaby to what he is now?
Fu Beijun came out after washing the dishes and saw Qiao Rong chatting with Ye Mei. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be getting along well.
He didn’t expect Qiao Rong to get along so well with his mother.
When they saw Fu Beijun coming out, they stopped talking. Qiao Rong also felt that it was time to say goodbye.
It’s already past 7 PM, and Ye Mei’s health isn’t good, so she’ll probably rest early.
“Aunt Ye, I’ll go back first. I’ll come see you again another day.”
“Okay, I’ll have Beijun see you off.” Even though Ye Mei knew that Qiao Rong had a car to pick her up, she still said this.
This is their family’s upbringing.
Qiao Rong didn’t refuse. After going out, she looked at Fu Beijun with a sly smile in her eyes.
Fu Beijun glanced at her: “Just say what you want to say.”
“Beijun,” she said softly.
She didn’t call him by his full name, and her voice was sweet and soft, which made Fu Beijun a little dazed.
“I didn’t expect you to be so cute when you were little.” Qiao Rong couldn’t help but laugh, “Aunt Ye said you used to cry a lot.”
Fu Beijun didn’t expect Qiao Rong to gossip with his mother about his childhood. Seeing her gloating as if she had caught his weakness, he couldn’t help but laugh.
A shallow curve appeared at the corner of his lips, and he asked, “What about you?”
“Of course not. I was very powerful when I was little. I even beat the kid next door until he cried.”
At that time, that child laughed at her for being an orphan without parents, and she beat him in a fit of anger.
The kid next door? He remembered that the Qiao Family bought the villa a long time ago, and there were no neighbors around.
Fu Beijun’s eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
After Qiao Rong finished speaking, she was only met with Fu Beijun’s long silence. When she looked up again and saw the ambiguous look in his eyes, she knew that he wasn’t asking her, but warning her!
Look at how long her reaction time is, and she was still gloating.
But now she doesn’t owe Fu Beijun anything, and she’s become bolder. It shouldn’t be a big deal to try to test the big shot’s bottom line.
It shouldn’t be, right…?
The more Qiao Rong thought about it, the less confident she became, because Fu Beijun’s gaze was fixed on her, and it was different from his usual gaze. It was like moss growing in the humid rainy season, and it was hard to say whether it was good or bad.
In the end, Qiao Rong had no choice but to say, “I’m sorry.”
Sigh, when you don’t know what to say, “I’m sorry” will do.
This has always been Qiao Rong’s attitude. If she takes the initiative to admit her mistake, the other party can’t say anything more, right?
But unexpectedly, when Fu Beijun heard her apology, he felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart. He didn’t even know where this irritability came from.
Qiao Rong had already hopped into her car parked at the intersection and waved to Fu Beijun: “I’m going back now, bye-bye.”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for his response and simply closed the car door.
Fu Beijun watched the car speed away, belatedly realizing what his irritability meant just now.
It seemed that he had become a little concerned about Qiao Rong.
The way she seemed a little afraid of him in front of him made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
He wasn’t some kind of monster.
◈◈◈
However, the scariest thing wasn’t this, but the change in his attitude towards Qiao Rong. It couldn’t be like this.
The young man looked up at the sky. The night sky was dotted with stars, and the crescent moon shyly peeked out from the clouds.
Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
However, he didn’t want to continue living in such a place.
People always have to strive for higher places, don’t they?
He should only use Qiao Rong and shouldn’t mix in other emotions.
Back at home, he saw Ye Mei unpacking the gift that Qiao Rong had given her. She was touching a bottle, seemingly unable to put it down.
She didn’t touch the other gifts, but she especially liked this one.
“How did Rongrong know that I like this brand of skincare products?” Ye Mei said with emotion. A long, long time ago, when their family’s conditions were still good, Ye Mei had always used this brand of skincare products.
It was just that after the bankruptcy and her condition worsened, she never used it again. In the winter, she only used a bottle of moisturizer that cost five yuan.
Now that she saw the things from this brand that Qiao Rong had given her, Ye Mei was so excited that she didn’t know what to say.
Fu Beijun’s gaze fell on the skincare products in Ye Mei’s hand. It was really strange. Did she specifically find out about his mother’s preferences? That’s why she brought such things.
She doesn’t like him anymore, but he felt that the flattery in her was particularly strong.
It wasn’t entirely flattery, because she would also occasionally avoid him…
Soon, it was time for the monthly exam. Qiao Rong performed steadily this time, and her scores in each subject improved a lot compared to the last exam.
Of course, this was all the result of Qiao Rong’s careful calculations.
She had calculated which questions she could get wrong and which questions she couldn’t get wrong.
When Su Xiaotang saw Qiao Rong’s report card, she couldn’t believe it: “Rongrong, how are your scores so high? They’re twice as high as mine.”
Her scores were far worse than Qiao Rong’s.
Could it be that Rongrong’s hard work during this period was really useful? Su Xiaotang looked confused.
Qiao Rong looked at her test paper and nodded: “Of course it’s useful to study hard. Moreover, I also hired Fu Beijun to be my tutor, so I was able to get such good grades.”
“Then can I also hire a tutor?” Seeing Qiao Rong’s rapid progress in her studies, Su Xiaotang was also eager to try.
“Yes, find Fu Beijun.” Qiao Rong smoothly found Fu Beijun his next client and felt that her advertisement was perfect.
“Really?”
“Yes, as long as you offer a price similar to mine, Fu Beijun will definitely tutor you.” Qiao Rong said, “You’re my good sister. Now that my grades have improved so much, I don’t need a tutor anymore, so let him tutor you.”
Su Xiaotang was persuaded by Qiao Rong: “Okay, don’t worry, I will never lay a finger on my sister’s crush.”
Qiao Rong: “…”
Why is she talking about this again? Was what the original owner did before too outrageous? It made Su Xiaotang always think that she liked Fu Beijun.
“Qiao Rong, did you cheat? How is it possible? You were at the bottom of the rankings last time. How did you get into the top 20 this time?” At this time, a male voice rang out.
Qiao Rong turned her head and saw the vice class monitor of their class looking at her with a questioning expression.
If Qiao Rong remembered correctly, this vice class monitor liked Song Ranran.
Soon, Qiao Rong sorted out the grudges and love entanglements between them.
Please, there are only so many people in the class. She got a middle ranking, and it’s not even that high. Does he have to question her for cheating?
