It was so boring, but she didn't dare to say anything.
If she dared to say anything more, Liu Jing would ignore her and would go back to her mother to beat her.
"Are you going out?"
Liu Lele bit the tip of the pen and his feet were under the table, shaking from time to time.
"Well, I'll go out for a while."
Liu Liang took a test paper and placed it in front of Liu Lele. "When I come back, I hope you can finish this."
"Are there any prizes?"
Liu Lele's eyes lit up. Will he buy something delicious when he goes out?
"I'll give you an English test as a reward."
Liu Liang put on her schoolbag and walked out the door, leaving Liu Lele still disheveled in the wind.
This is it.
Liu Liang stood in front of a tea shop and only walked in after confirming that it was the one.
There were not many people inside, just a few scattered people sitting at several tables. At the back by the window, sat a middle-aged man. Liu Liang walked straight towards that table.
"Now that you're here, take a seat."
The man laughed and asked Liu Liang to sit down. Although he looked friendly on the surface, who knew whether the smile came from the heart?
Liu Jing sat down, but she didn't know what Xu Ximing wanted her to do.
He still had that kind smile on his face, and it seemed that he had no aggression at all. He was very approachable and kind to others.
But Liu Liang knew clearly that this person was a hypocrite.
If he really had a bit of kindness, he would never have let her work as a servant and nanny in their Xu family for more than ten years, and he would not have kicked her out when she was seriously ill. Just like when he found out that she was taken away by mistake for Xu Jiajia, he threw her outside in the wilderness without thinking about whether she would encounter any accidents or dangers.
If she had to say who she disliked the most in the Xu family, it wasn't Tao Yue, who demoted her to nothing and gave her a lot of things to do, but Xu Ximing. No one knew what kind of hideousness and selfishness this man had behind this good face.
"How did you do in the exam this year?
Xu Ximing asked Liu Liang with a smile.
"fine."
Liu Liang didn't say what her ranking was in the exam. Aren't her results transparent? But she just doesn't believe it. Did Xu Ximing really never ask about it?
"Even if you do well on the test, don't be too proud. You still need to work harder."
He said this with a fatherly look on his face, sighing and feeling relieved.
If Liu Liang had not experienced this in her previous life, she might really have been fooled by Xu Ximing's appearance. People's eyes are really easily deceived, and people's hearts sometimes hope to be deceived.
"Is this all you asked me to say?"
Liu Liang placed the cup on her lap and gently stroked the rim of the cup with her fingers.
She couldn't believe that Xu Ximing, who always put making money first, would sit here for such a long time with an adopted daughter who had long been estranged and could be said to have been kicked out, just to care about her academic performance.
When did she get his attention so much?
When it came to her biological daughter, they never cared about her, let alone an adopted daughter who was not even a blood relationship with them.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, I just wanted to know if you were doing well."
Xu Ximing still didn't get to the point. He always acted like an elder, caring about Liu Jing's life and studies.
But Liu Liang just felt that such concern was hypocritical, especially when it came from this person's mouth, it was even more hypocritical.
"Uncle Xu, my mother is waiting for me at home for dinner." Liu Jing was too lazy to listen to Xu Ximing's emotional play. The more he played the emotional card, the more uncomfortable Liu Jing would feel about her stupidity in her previous life.
The words "Uncle Xu" made Xu Ximing's expression seem to fade a little.
"Jingjing, do you really have to be like this? No matter what, you've been calling me dad for twelve years."
Liu Liang's heart was very calm. She was no longer at the age where she needed a father. Her biological father was like a vampire who took her life, and her adoptive father was like an executioner who ruined her life.
"We want you back."
Xu Ximing continued, "You should know that the Xu family can give you a better life. As long as you come back, you will still be our Xu family's child. Your mother and I will treat you the same way as before. You and Jiajia can still take care of each other in the future. Isn't that great?"
"Besides, your mother has remarried now and will have her own children and her own home in the future. Won't you feel like an outsider there?"
Liu Jing frowned. For the first time, she felt that it was not Xu Ximing who had a change of heart, but rather that Xu Ximing had something to ask for or something he had in mind.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Xu."
Liu Jing put the cup in her hand on the table and said, "I'm not a child anymore. Even if my mother has a new family and doesn't care about me anymore, I don't need others to plan my life."
She is in control of her own life. She wants to live the way she wants. Is there something wrong with her brain that makes her go to the Xu family again? Given Tao Yue and Xu Jiajia's hostility towards her, does she think her life is too long and wants to go to the Xu family to die, or does she want to kill all the Xu family members directly when she can't bear it anymore?
"Although I am a little disappointed with this answer." Xu Ximing shook his head, indeed with a look of deep regret, 'But I respect your decision.
"That's right!" He suddenly seemed to think of something?
"I got some tea a few days ago." In fact, this kind of tea was given by someone else. After Xu Ximing drank it, he felt refreshed, which he hadn't felt for a long time. The taste of the tea was very special. This kind of tea was very famous in their circle. Of course, it was not easy to get a box.
It is impossible to buy it unless it is given by others.
It was not until later that he found out that the tea leaves actually came from a high school and were roasted by a student. He only gave it to his classmates and teachers to drink and never sold it to outsiders.
He specifically checked this student again, and the person he found out was none other than Liu Liang.
“I have fried some.”
Liu Jing also admitted that this was just like her grades. Almost everyone in the school knew that the tea was brought from her home. She also said that she roasted it herself. Because the ingredients were relatively scarce, the tea yield was very low.
Many people came to her to buy tea, but she always refused.
She only gave it to her classmates and teachers to drink, and gave the rest to her friends. She never made a penny from this kind of tea.
"Do you want to do business with your uncle?"
Xu Ximing's eyes were always fixed on Liu Liang, but Liu Liang lowered her eyelashes slightly.
See, as she expected, Xu Ximing, who has always been extremely greedy, would eventually put feelings above everything else. It turned out to be all for the tea leaves.
