He Jing knew she would win, of course. She was joking; what kind of talk would it be if a top student who had transmigrated into a book couldn't beat a little kid? "So... if we're ranking by grades and choosing who to sacrifice, Fourth Brother should be ahead of me, right?"
He Yuan: "This..."
He Jing exclaimed "Ah!" with an extremely apologetic tone, "I'm so sorry, Fourth Brother, I've deprived you of the opportunity to go to school. Eldest Brother, please go and call Second Brother back. The tuition issue has been resolved."
He Suigang had just recovered from the shock when he heard this and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He roared in fury, "I will not drop out of school!!"
He Jing blinked innocently: "But you're not as good at studying as I am."
He choked on his words.
Then she said infuriatingly, "Oh, does Fourth Brother want to bring Cheng Yi back so she can drop out of school in your place?"
He Sui nearly gritted his teeth: "No, no!"
This! Damn! Woman!
If he simply disliked her when she first came in, now he desperately wanted to strangle her.
He Jing smiled again: "Just kidding, Fourth Brother, don't take it to heart. I'm going to Yin Gao High School, and the Cheng family has paid all my tuition for three years, so I will continue to study. I will also find a way to pay for Second Brother's tuition."
Mr. He's eyes lit up immediately, while Mrs. He seemed flattered and surprised: "Really, Jingjing?"
"real."
Mother He couldn't help but laugh.
According to He Jing, the He family can save a lot of money, which is great.
Although the He family had always treated Cheng Yi like their own daughter, her exorbitant tuition fees were a real burden for them.
Now they can finally pay back the money they owe the school.
As for He Jing's suggestion to find a solution, He's mother didn't take it to heart at all.
He Jing then looked at He Yuan: "Big brother, let's go out and look for second brother. If he runs away like this, it will be bad if he encounters danger."
He Yuan smiled gently and said, "Okay."
Mother He felt the dark clouds of worry above her head dissipate, and she felt much lighter: "Then come back early, I'll go cook."
He Jing then followed He Yuan out of the house.
...
The He family lived in a residential area called Jinyuling, which was near a construction site where new buildings were being constructed. The area was deserted.
He Yuan walked side by side with He Jing and whispered to her, "The fourth brother isn't a bad person. He just really likes Xiao Yi. Don't take it personally."
He Jing shook her head and said, "No."
Why should a woman over 25 years old argue with a 17 or 18-year-old kid?
He Yuan glanced at the construction site ahead and said worriedly, "Let's go find Xiao Ning together."
He Jing was unfamiliar with the surroundings, so she naturally agreed without trying to be brave. The two of them then walked through the construction site and arrived at a lively playground, where He Ning was sitting on a swing watching elementary school students play basketball.
He Yuan said, "Wait here for me."
He walked alone towards He Ning.
He Jing stood there, watching what He Yuan and He Ning were talking about.
A moment later, He Ning turned to look at her, his eyes extremely cold.
He pursed his thin lips slightly, his handsome face filled with expressions like "What a hassle" and "I'm not happy."
Then, he left He Yuan behind and walked alone towards the He family's residence.
He Yuan turned back and said to He Jing, "Let's go, let's go back too."
He Jing looked at He Ning's retreating figure and nodded: "Okay."
Then, the two of them, hanging behind He Ning, slowly made their way home.
When He Ning returned home, she could clearly sense that something was wrong. Her father was sitting on the sofa reading yesterday's newspaper, a smile on his lips as if he had won the lottery. He Xiaoguo was playing with a cheap wind-up frog toy, but her mind was elsewhere, and she kept glancing toward the door.
