Tong Ying felt as if she had been struck by lightning. According to her father's words, how could she face her classmates?
"Fine, I won't go then, I'm not going!" she blurted out impulsively.
Tong's mother was stunned. "What are you saying? Shut up!"
What else can a girl do if she doesn't go to school? Wait to get married? Without an education, it's difficult to marry someone of equal social standing, let alone someone from a family that wants to marry into a higher social class like the Tong family.
Tong's mother was unusually stern, which frightened Tong Ying into immediately falling silent.
Tong Deli's face was very ugly. He glared at the mother and daughter and said irritably, "Think carefully before you speak. You're always so loud and boisterous, you have no manners."
Tong Ying looked at her father. Just yesterday he was very good to her, spoiling her and giving her whatever she wanted. How could everything have changed in just one day? She couldn't accept it.
“Dad…” Tong Ying called out to him with a wronged tone.
Seeing his daughter like this, Tong Deli felt bad too. He sighed and said earnestly, "Be good, go apologize tomorrow. You need to get along well with Su Xiaoxiao at school. It will be good for you, understand?"
Tong Ying's heart skipped a beat. Was it really so?
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad." Circumstances dictate that she had no choice but to compromise at this moment.
"Good, haha, good." Tong Deli was very satisfied with his daughter's performance. A wise person knows when to yield. Hmm, let's see how she performs. If she passes the test, he wouldn't mind nurturing her further.
The next morning, Tong Ying stood pale-faced at the school gate, watching the endless stream of people walk into the school. When the bell rang, she was startled awake and took that difficult step.
Because of her initial delay, she became the last person to enter the school.
When she got to the classroom door, unsurprisingly, she was late.
"Report!" Standing at the door, she called out, and couldn't help but think of yesterday. Was Su Xiaoxiao feeling the same way she was right now?
"Come in." Su Xiaoxiao looked at Tong Ying outside the door and didn't make things difficult for her.
But when Tong Ying heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice, she was completely taken aback. Yes, the first class of the day was Su Xiaoxiao's.
She couldn't accept it. Why? Any teacher would have been fine, but why did it have to be her class?
Tong Ying felt like she was about to explode; her heart was pounding loudly.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly when she saw that she hadn't come in for a while.
"Please come in!" she said again, sighing inwardly. What kind of mess had she made?
When Tong Ying heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice again, her mind finally started working. She looked into the classroom and found that everyone in the class was looking down at their books and no one was paying attention to her. Su Xiaoxiao was writing on the blackboard at the podium.
Tong Ying pursed her lips, quickly went inside, and sat down in her seat.
During this time, she observed her classmates around her many times, but found that they did not pay much attention to her.
After the class, Tong Ying did not receive any special treatment, as if yesterday's events had never happened.
But it was still different, because she discovered that everyone was avoiding her.
Tong Ying felt a pang of sadness, but there was nothing she could do about it in the short term. She first went to the principal's office to apologize to Principal Chang, who simply said, "To err is human, to forgive divine. I wasn't the one who was hurt in this matter. You should go and apologize to them."
Tong Ying left the principal's office looking dejected and headed towards the next office.
