Ming Xiaoxiao turned her face away, somewhat embarrassed, and remained silent.
She had always felt that there was nothing wrong with her moving into Pei Si's house, that nothing had happened between her and Pei Si, and that everyone should keep harping on this and making a big deal out of it.
It seems that moving into Pei Si's house became her original sin. Is it wrong for a girl to want to get close to the person she likes?
Ming Xiaoxiao remained silent, and Grandma Ming sighed, "It's not your fault, you were just too careless."
Ming Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. "I've been careful and discreet enough, but Xie Li still leaked it."
Grandma Ming was silent for a moment before speaking about her feelings about meeting tonight, "Xie Li has indeed changed too much. As expected of a rich family's young lady, she has changed so much that I don't even recognize her anymore."
Ming Xiaoxiao: "Yeah, that's right. Only you would say she's good."
“She used to love fighting in the village. Even after she moved to the city and became a rich young lady, she still does whatever she wants. She’s best at bullying people.”
Grandma Ming patted Ming Xiaoxiao's hand. "Alright, alright, her status is different now. Don't confront her head-on. Give in a little. It's also my fault for not being able to give you a good background and material conditions."
Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately reddened; she hated her background terribly!
Why can't she be a lost child from a wealthy family? If she became a rich heiress, she would definitely do very well.
She wouldn't bully her classmates, nor would she be arrogant and disrespectful to the poor. She would also be very compassionate and help more people.
Fate is so unfair. Why is Xie Li, who is so rude, impolite, and lacks empathy, a rich family's young lady?
She worked so hard, yet she didn't even have the right to be on equal footing with Xie Li!
Grandma Ming panicked immediately, "Xiaoxiao, don't cry. You're so outstanding, your future will be better than anyone else's. Trust Grandma."
Her tone was firm, but it made Ming Xiaoxiao feel devastated.
"You always say things like that. When have you ever let me live a good life? Since we were little, you've always said that I'm better than Xie Li, that I have a brighter future than Xie Li, and that I'll be happier than Xie Li!"
Ming Xiaoxiao said loudly, "Look at her, she's living in a big villa now and acting like a rich young lady, while I almost couldn't even continue my studies!"
Grandma Ming hurriedly covered Ming Xiaoxiao's mouth. She looked at the wall with some concern, wondering how well the soundproofing was in this old staff dormitory building.
Grandma Ming patted Ming Xiaoxiao's back reassuringly, remained silent for a while, and murmured, "You have to trust Grandma."
"Xie Li will not be happy."
Ming Xiaoxiao seemed to draw strength from those words.
Yes, why should Xie Li be happier than her? They're clearly living in a novel world, and she's the female lead!
After rummaging through Granny Ming's things, her gaze fell on the porcelain vase, and her expression immediately froze. "Did Xie Li give this to you?"
Grandma Ming glanced at it and said dismissively, "Yes, she told me to eat it, saying it can strengthen the body."
Ming Xiaoxiao: "You dare to take her stuff? Don't you know Uncle Zhu has made people sick from selling fake medicine? Throw it away right now!"
She threw the porcelain vase into the trash can with force, only then feeling a little better.
——
The next morning, Grandma Ming went out for a while.
When Ming Xiaoxiao got out of school in the evening, I originally wanted to take her to eat at the school's staff canteen, but Grandma Ming stopped her and took Ming Xiaoxiao to an expensive Japanese restaurant instead.
Inside the private room, Ming Xiaoxiao was still a little dazed.
