He Jing spoke softly, full of girlish charm and a hint of reproach, her voice drawn out as she said, "Fourth Brother, you're so funny."
He Sui felt mocked and his attitude became even sharper: "I am not your fourth brother. I only have one sister, Xiao Yi."
He Jing raised an eyebrow, looking a little aggrieved, and said, "Alright, then... Fourth Brother, may I ask, who made the decision to make Cheng Yi drop out of school?"
Of course, it was a decision made by the whole family together.
Of the eight children, seven boys are very promising, but Cheng Yi has poor grades and attends an expensive third-rate high school, making him the biggest burden on the family.
Although He Sui never felt that she was a burden.
"What does this have to do with you? Anyway, Xiaoyi is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you."
He Jing smiled gently and said, "Actually, I know even if you don't say it. This is a decision that Mom and Dad made after discussing it, because Cheng Yi is not doing well in school, right?"
Mr. and Mrs. He, who were in the living room, were suddenly called out by name. They couldn't help but look at each other and bewildered.
He Jing was right. This was exactly what they decided after discussing it. Although all seven sons doted on Cheng Yi and didn't want her to drop out of school, in their hearts, both sons and daughters were precious, and they couldn't be biased towards any of them. So they decided to suspend her studies based on her final exam scores. Unfortunately, Cheng Yi came in last place.
It was really embarrassing to have this kind of thing seen through. He's parents were afraid that He Jing would look down on them and think that they favored boys over girls, but they didn't expect He Jing to smile slightly and say, "But I've always been the top student in the class."
He Sui froze.
Mr. and Mrs. He were completely shocked.
A strange expression flashed across He Yuan's face, then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
How could this be...?
She clearly seemed like the kind of girl who was untouched by worldly affairs, having afternoon tea with her girlfriends one day, going on a shopping spree at the mall the next, taking the college entrance exam casually, and then waiting to be sent abroad to study.
He Jing said slowly, "Fourth Brother is in his final year of high school, right? How about we have a math problem competition?"
He Sui almost laughed. His gaze was full of pity. No. 1 High School was a key provincial high school. He had never fallen out of the top ten in the whole school. He received an excellent scholarship every year based on his grades. How could he compare himself to him in solving problems?
Oh.
"Okay, but don't say I'm bullying you."
He Sui was very proud of her abilities and did not take He Jing's claim of being the top student in the class seriously at all. It was obvious that she attended a prestigious high school, a group of rich young men and women who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. At best, she was the best among the worst. It was nothing like No. 1 High School, where so many people from the whole province took the high school entrance exam and only a handful of them could get in.
He Jing smiled even sweeter and blinked: "Then please go easy on me, Fourth Brother."
The youngest, He Xiaoguo, looked timidly at the eldest, He Yuan, her round face wrinkled with worry.
Although the new older sister seems quite capable, He Sui is truly amazing...
He Yuan was equally worried and couldn't help but say, "Jingjing, you've only just arrived, you should rest more..."
He Jing tilted her head, her bright, watery eyes as endearing as grapes: "Big brother, I'm really amazing, you can't doubt my abilities."
He Sui had already taken the two worksheets he needed to do that night out of his bag, slammed them on the table, glanced at He Yuan, and said arrogantly, "Big brother, don't worry about it, I'll let him have his way."
But the more he said that, the more He Yuan knew that his fighting spirit had been ignited and that he would definitely do everything in his power to humiliate He Jing.
