Chapter 23



Many classmates were laughing at him. Zhao Fangcheng resigned himself to his fate and took out his vocabulary notebook to continue memorizing words.

Starting from that evening, Xia Chenxi once again carefully reviewed the knowledge points of physics and chemistry for the first year of high school. She has been studying the content of the second semester of the second year of high school since the beginning of this semester. She has forgotten some of the parts that Qin Yifeng taught her during the winter vacation. The final exam is less than a month away, and she has to catch up on all the knowledge points she has forgotten before the exam.

The final examination for this semester was scheduled for early May. On the day of the examination, the order of the second-year high school students, including both arts and science majors, was mixed and the examination rooms were randomly arranged.

Xia Chenxi happened to be in the same class as Lu Xiaoxiao. After the exams, they went to have lunch together. After Lu Xiaoxiao left, Xia Chenxi had to take the remaining two exams with her freshman classmates.

After finishing the test, she felt much more relaxed all over. She no longer had to study the general and information subjects.

The exam day was Saturday. Xia Chenxi returned home right after the exam. As soon as she opened the door, a pair of hands hugged her calves.

She looked down and was a little surprised to see it was Xia Zichen.

Xia Zichen tilted his head back with a smile on his face. But when he saw that it was Xia Chenxi, he stopped smiling in disappointment. "It turned out to be my big sister, not my mother."

He let go of her hand, looked at Xia Chenxi with some disdain, then trotted to the sofa to sit and watch TV.

Xia Chenxi closed the door and looked around. She found that only Xia Zichen and the nanny were at home. She was a little confused, "Where are my parents?"

"Dad went out to eat with a rich uncle to discuss business, and Mom took my second sister to buy clothes." Xia Zichen watched TV, then looked at Xia Chenxi as if showing off, "She bought clothes for my second sister, and she also said she would buy clothes for me, but I don't know if my eldest sister has any."

It was not the first time that Xia Chenxi had felt her brother's ill will. However, compared to being constantly scammed in her previous life, this time, perhaps because she had exposed him at the beginning, Xia Zichen no longer dared to scam her, so he could only say a few words in private to vent her anger.

But in fact, Xia Chenxi doesn't care about these at all.

Perhaps because she had a hard life in her previous life, her demands were very simple. She would be satisfied as long as she could have enough food to eat, meat for every meal, and a nice house to live in in this life.

As for whether Xia Zichen, his biological brother, would treat her as an older sister, it actually didn’t matter at all.

Xia Chenxi didn't say anything and went straight back to her room.

Seeing that Xia Chenxi ignored him, little Xia Zichen was so angry that his face turned red. He took the initiative to provoke others, but the other party ignored him, so he felt like a clown jumping around.

Xia Zichen thought about it and went upstairs to knock on the door, "Big sister."

Xia Chenxi stood up, opened the door defensively, and poked her head out to look at him, "What are you doing? Are you trying to scam me again? My parents are not here right now, there's no need for you to wrongly accuse me."

Xia Zichen blinked innocently and said, "I'm not trying to scam people. My second sister said that scamming people is no longer useful."

Xia Chenxi pursed her lips, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I want to play with you. Come on, play with me. Don't do your homework."

"I need to study hard. I'm not like a little brat like you who only knows how to play." Xia Chenxi looked down at him.

"I'm not!" Xia Zichen frowned and said, "You are not a good sister. Every time I want to do something, my second sister will support me and play with me. You are not as good to me as my second sister."

Xia Chenxi rolled her eyes and said, "Your second sister is good to you, but have you noticed that every time your second sister plays with you, you don't have time to do your homework, and your parents will scold you."

Xia Zichen really fell into the trap. After thinking about it carefully, he found that it seemed to be the case.

"Do you know what your second sister is calling this? This is called flattery! She treats you well, pampers you, makes you lose interest in learning, and makes you a loser! In this way, when you grow up, your parents will be completely disappointed in you and worry that the company will go bankrupt if you manage it. Then the company will become your second sister's, and then you will have no property."

"Second sister is not as bad as you say! You are trying to sow discord!" Xia Zichen said seriously with a frown.

"Why would I sow discord? Xia Zichen, you should know that I am your biological sister, and your second sister is just adopted. Why would I sow discord?" Xia Chenxi sneered, "I just saw that you were deceived and wanted to remind you. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

After saying that, Xia Chenxi closed the door.

What's wrong with sowing discord? Everything she said was true.

She was kicked out of the house when she turned eighteen, because if parents abandon a minor under the age of eighteen, they will be held legally responsible.

In fact, she had no contact with the Xia family for several years after that. It was not until she graduated from college and joined the Xia family's company that she sorted out the situation of the Xia family from what she occasionally heard.

During the few years she was away, Xia Yanran seemed to be particularly fond of Xia Zichen, and she directly spoiled Xia Zichen into a little master who was ignorant of the immensity of the world, had a bad temper and knew nothing.

Xia Zichen never did his homework in school, his academic performance was very poor, and he often fought with classmates in school.

When Xia Chenxi died, Xia Zichen was 14 years old. She remembered that when she was delivering the documents to Xia Chengnan, she heard him and Lu Shulan discussing Xia Zichen in the office.

At that time, the couple felt that they might have neglected Xia Zichen because they were busy with work. Xia Zichen was usually taken care of at home by Old Lady Xia, Xia Yanran and a nanny.

Old Mrs. Xia is a patriarchal person. She spoils her grandson to the sky and thinks whatever her grandson does is right. So, she will not discipline Xia Zichen even if he does something wrong.

As for Xia Yanran's words, Xia Chenxi didn't know whether she was deliberately trying to teach Xia Zichen the wrong way, but the result of her parents' discussion at that time was that they felt that Xia Yanran might be worried that she was not her biological son, so she didn't have the confidence to teach her younger brother.

As for the nanny at the end, she is just someone who works at home and will not teach the little master of the house.

So, the couple discussed for a long time and decided that when their son grew up, they would give all the company's shares to their son and let Xia Yanran manage the company.

On the surface, the company seemed to be handed over to Xia Yanran. She successfully obtained the management rights of the company that her parents had worked hard to run for a long time, but in fact, she was just working for Xia Zichen.

Because once this plan is implemented, Xia Zichen will be the largest shareholder in the company, and Xia Yanran will have no shares, at best she will have a fixed job managing the company. In fact, many company presidents are like this, so the president is not actually as rich as the domineering presidents in romance novels. It depends on whether the president has shares and how many shares he has.

Xia Chenxi still remembered that when she was disfigured by Xia Yanran, Xia Yanran seemed to realize this. She once complained to her that she had been trying to please her parents and take care of her younger brother in the Xia family for so many years, but in the end she was just working for Xia Zichen.

Although one should not think so badly of others, Xia Chenxi felt that Xia Yanran was not a good person, so she had already thought of many ways that Xia Yanran could deal with Xia Zichen.

Because Xia Zichen's business was all legitimate, Xia Yanran could easily steal the company's cash flow while managing it, empty Xia's company, and finally declare it bankrupt. As long as she did it cleanly enough and pretended in front of Xia Zichen that the company was not doing well, Xia Zichen, who looked like a fool when he grew up, wouldn't even notice.

Of course, this can only be done when your parents are old and really don't care about the company, or have passed away. So when Xia Chenxi died, she did not see this scene, it was just her guess.

But this did not prevent Xia Chenxi from using this incident to remind Xia Zichen.

If he could succeed in sowing discord, Xia Yanran would lose a helper. After all, a big reason why she was kicked out of the house in her previous life was that her parents valued Xia Zichen more. So after seeing her "abusing" Xia Zichen several times in a row, they couldn't bear it anymore and kicked her out when she became an adult.

What if Xia Zichen no longer believes in Xia Yanran in this life? Without Xia Zichen, Xia Yanran was just an adopted daughter, and it was impossible to drive her away.

Xia Chenxi continued to study in a good mood, but little friend Xia Zichen felt very scared.

Did the second sister really do it on purpose? Do you really not want him to study hard?

When Lu Shulan and Xia Yanran came back, they were carrying large and small bags in their hands. After they came in, the door was not closed, and the driver brought in the remaining things in the car.

Lu Shulan had just finished shopping at the mall and bought a lot of things. She was in a good mood and asked the nanny, "Is Chenxi back?"

"I'm back. The young lady is studying in her room."

Lu Shulan hurried upstairs and knocked on Xia Chenxi's door, then pushed the door open and said, "Chenxi, don't study for now. Mom bought you a lot of clothes. Come down and take a look."

Xia Chenxi put down the pen and said, "Okay."

She originally thought that it would just be a few pieces of clothing, but after seeing so many bags in the living room and the driver constantly moving them in, she felt sick.

This...how much did you buy?

Lu Shulan took all the clothes out of the bag and started to match them. "The weather is going to get hot soon. Although you usually wear school uniforms at school and rarely wear your own clothes, summer vacation will be here soon. You will definitely have to wear your own clothes by then. I also bought you clothes for spring and autumn. If you don't get tired of these clothes next year, you can wear them after the college entrance examination and take them to college."

As she spoke, Lu Shulan first unpacked a few spring and autumn clothes, all of which were small skirts.

Lu Shulan had good taste. She matched clothes for Xia Chenxi as if she was playing a dress-up game, and then asked her to change into them in a room on the first floor.

Xia Yanran looked on with a sour feeling. She had tried them on in the mall and felt so happy to have new clothes, but it turned out that Xia Chenxi also got a share.

Seeing Xia Chenxi trying on one outfit after another, many of the clothes looked good on her, and Xia Yanran felt a little jealous.

Xia Chenxi looks very similar to Lu Shulan. Both of them have peach blossom eyes, but Xia Chenxi's skin is whiter. And maybe because she used to help her grandmother with housework in the countryside, she is not as thin as she looks, but her body is very firm.

Xia Yanran still remembers that when she had a physical examination at the beginning of the first semester of her second year of high school, her family was worried that Xia Chenxi was too thin and would be labeled unhealthy. But Xia Chenxi looked thin, but he weighed 105 pounds.

She is 168 cm tall and weighs 105 kg. She is not fat. In the eyes of the elders, this height and weight are considered thin. However, her figure looks like she weighs less than 100 catties.

It's the perfect kind, with the flesh growing where it should grow and not growing where it shouldn't grow. This made Xia Yanran very envious and jealous.

When Xia Yanran thought of the soft flesh on her legs, which would tremble every time Xia Tian took a step, she felt even more sad.

She is 162cm tall and weighs only 95kg. In fact, she should look similar to Xia Chenxi, but she is fatter than Xia Chenxi, and her fatness is quite obvious.

After Xia Chenxi tried on all the clothes, Lu Shulan was quite satisfied and went to organize her wardrobe.

Xia Chenxi was still a little uncomfortable with having so many clothes all of a sudden. In fact, this summer she only had two weeks off at most, and she basically stayed at home all the time, wearing mostly home clothes, which she may have to wait until the college entrance examination is over before she can wear them.

One week after the final exam, there was the second monthly exam. On the day Xia Chenxi returned to school after the exam, she stayed at her grandmother's house for a whole day and then took the bus back to school.

She had just got off the bus and walked a few steps forward when a car stopped not far in front of her.

She walked forward, and when she got to the car, she saw the window of the back seat rolled down, revealing Qin Yifeng's handsome face, "Why did you take the bus to school?"

Xia Chenxi paused, stared at him, and said, "What's wrong with taking the bus? Is it not okay?"

"It's not impossible. Doesn't your family have a driver to pick you up?" Qin Yifeng asked with a frown. He remembered that he saw Xia Yanran was picked up by a driver before, so why didn't Xia Chenxi have one?

"Yes, but I went to see my grandma today, and the bus happened to go directly, so I take the bus to school every time I come back." Xia Chenxi said.

Qin Yifeng pursed his lips and imagined various scenarios in his mind.

The classmates in the class all said that she and Xia Yanran were taken away by mistake when they were young. She was the biological daughter of the family, but Xia Yanran was the one who was raised by the Xia family since childhood.

The two of them are like the real and fake daughters in romance novels. Their parents favor the fake daughter and are disgusted with the real daughter.

After imagining a scene in which the real daughter was bullied by the fake daughter at home, Qin Yifeng opened the car door and said, "We still have a few minutes to go, get in."

Xia Chenxi didn't bother to be polite with him and got into the car directly.

Inside the car, the two of them were not sitting close to each other, but not too far away either.

Qin Yifeng didn't say anything, but Xia Chenxi felt his nervousness.

The car drove for two minutes and stopped at the school gate. After the two got off, Xia Chenxi thanked the driver, then looked at Qin Yifeng and said, "The school gate is full of people. Others saw that I came with you. You should pray that no one in the class saw you. Otherwise, if something gets out, don't think that I deliberately wanted others to know. After all, you took the initiative to invite me to get in the car."

"I don't know how." Qin Yifeng said, "Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner."

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Xia Chenxi and Qin Yifeng lined up separately. She got her food first and found a seat to sit down. Not long after, Qin Yifeng sat down opposite her.

Xia Chenxi: “…” What happened to this bastard today? Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood by others?

Qin Yifeng stared at her plate for a while and said, "Why do you have so many meat dishes? Doesn't the school require two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes?" Why are there three meat dishes and one vegetable dish on her plate?

"I call the auntie who serves the food 'Pretty Sister', so I always have three meat dishes and one vegetable dish!" Xia Chenxi raised her chin proudly.

"..." Qin Yifeng was silent for a while, then naturally used chopsticks that had never been eaten before to pick up one of her chicken legs and put it to his side, and gave her some cauliflower, "It's healthy to combine meat and vegetables."

Xia Chenxi: "......!!! This is not a reason for you to steal my chicken leg! Come back!"
