"Okay, then you can sit there."

Ying Huanyu sat in front of Zhan Nanqi and Gu Yuan. She felt happy even though she didn't have a deskmate.

Gu Yuan was surprised and asked her quietly, "Why don't you ask the teacher to arrange a deskmate for you?"

"Why do we have to sit at the same table?"

Ying Huanyu quietly paid attention to what Zhan Nanqi was doing, but found that he just lowered his head to read a book and didn't even look at her.

Gu Yuan explained in a flurry, "You have a deskmate who can help you hand in your homework and even cheat for you."

"I don't cheat!"

Ying Huanyu wanted to show off in front of Zhan Nanqi, so she spoke in a righteous manner, which frightened Gu Yuan so much that he dared not speak.

He had to sneak a peek at Zhan Nanqi, otherwise he would not be able to finish the quiz.

Their seats were only a few tables away from Xue Jiayu's. Xue Jiayu paid attention to their movements, and was later pulled away by other classmates to chat.

She has a good personality, is generous and not pretentious, and all the female classmates like to play with her.

After class, I would take her to the bathroom with me.

"Jiayu, is Huanyu your biological sister?" Xue Jiayu's deskmate asked.

"Just like my own sister." Xue Jiayu washed her hands and fixed her hair in front of the mirror.

"How can they be the same? Those who are your own children are your own children, and those who are not your own children are not your own children."

My deskmate was puzzled, "She's not your parents' daughter, why does she live with you?"

"It's a complicated matter. Anyway, she is my sister now."

Xue Jiayu left the toilet holding the arm of her deskmate and did not hear the two classmates behind her gossiping.

"But Ying Huanyu is so ugly and smells bad. Don't they live in the same house? Why does Xue Jiayu smell good?"

"I don't know, maybe Ying Huanyu is the nanny's daughter...she dresses like her, haha!"

In the cubicle, Ying Huanyu listened to the humiliation being hurled at her by people outside, and she trembled with sadness.

After school, Xue Jiayu packed up her things and was about to walk towards Ying Huanyu and the others when she suddenly heard a scream from the table in front of her.

"Ah—my picture book! Dad just bought it for me!"

The kid at the front table was crying sadly while holding a picture book with messy drawings on it, and the people nearby came over to comfort him.

"Who did this? It's so bad!"

"Let's go tell the teacher and make sure he finds this person!"

“That’s right!”

Xue Jiayu quickly glanced at the marks on the picture book, which looked like they were drawn with crayons.

But there is no art class today, who would bring crayons to school?

She was just recalling when Ying Huanyu came and held her hand.

"Sister, are you done packing? Let's go!"

"kindness."

Xue Jiayu put the matter of crayons behind her for the time being, and the four of them walked towards the school gate together.

"Oh! I forgot, my exercise book is still in class!"

Ying Huanyu suddenly screamed, "You guys go to the school gate first, I'll go back and get it."

Xue Jiayu quickly stopped her and said, "Then give me your schoolbag. How heavy is it for you to carry it back like this?"

"Yes! Thank you, sister!"

Ying Huanyu hurriedly took off her backpack and handed it to Xue Jiayu, then ran to the teaching building without delay.

Gu Yuan complained about the heat, and Xue Jiayu picked up Ying Huanyu's schoolbag and said, "I know, I know. Let's walk faster."

But the more anxious she was, the less success she achieved. She tripped after taking only two steps, and Ying Huanyu's schoolbag fell to the ground, with everything inside falling out.

Zhan Nanqi immediately squatted down and asked her: "Are you hurt?"

"No."

Xue Jiayu brushed off the dirt on his pants and stood up, "I'm not that easily injured."

She picked up Ying Huanyu's schoolbag and other sundries, but caught a glimpse of a box of crayons in the bag.

Crayons… She couldn’t help but think of the crayon marks on the picture book on the table in front of her.

"Jia Yu, what's wrong? Why are you in a daze?" Gu Yuan waved his hand in front of her, "Are you stupid?"

Does the picture book on the front table have anything to do with Xiaoyu?

Xue Jiayu didn't dare to think about it for a moment. She hurriedly stuffed Ying Huanyu's things into her bag and forced a smile at them.

"It's okay. Let's go."

Gu Yuan was a simple-minded man and could not notice the strangeness in Xue Jiayu's expression at all.

Only Zhan Nanqi asked, "Are you really okay?"

"fine."

Xue Jiayu said indifferently that how could she tell them something she was not sure about now and cause them to misunderstand.

Jiang Peirong had been waiting at the door for a long time and got out of the car as soon as she saw them.

Knowing that Ying Huanyu went back to get the book, Jiang Peirong decided to take them to buy popsicles.

Ying Huanyu ran back to the classroom and bumped into a few people who had just come back from complaining to the teacher.

They comforted the crying girl, had no intention of chatting with Huanyu, and left soon.

Ying Huanyu smiled triumphantly, took out his exercise book from the drawer, turned around and walked out.

But when she turned around, she was stunned.

Li Minxue was standing at the back door of the classroom, looking at her and smiling.

Ying Huanyu couldn't help but grab the corner of the table and tried to slip away through the front door.

"stop."

Perhaps it was the attraction of blood, Ying Huanyu was unable to run away directly, and involuntarily stopped according to Li Minxue's instructions.

"Are you okay?"

Li Minxue dropped the broom, closed the back door, walked into the classroom from the front door, and locked the door.

Now there are only the mother and daughter in the classroom.

"Xiaoyu, do you know how much your mother misses you?"

Li Minxue hugged Ying Huanyu and cried, "During the Chinese New Year, Mom went to give you New Year's money."

"I don't need the money you give me." Ying Huanyu's face turned pale, and he tried to push Li Minxue away but couldn't. "Hurry up and let me go. My sister is waiting for me at the door."

"What sister? You are my only daughter, you don't have a sister!"

Li Minxue was greatly stimulated by the word "sister". "Xue Jiayu is Jiang Qiuyi's daughter. Do you really think they will raise you well? They only adopted you for face!"

Otherwise, the Xue family would have dumped Ying Huanyu on the street long ago!

Ying Huanyu bit her lip and said, "I want to leave, please let me go..."

"Xiaoyu, listen to mom. I'm desperate and can't even pay the rent. Help me do something. Steal something from the Xue family and give it to me. I'll use it to buy something else."

Ying Huanyu immediately shook her head and refused, "No! My sister said stealing is something only bad kids do. If I steal something from home, my sister will be angry!"

"Why is she mad?! I'm not even mad yet!"

Li Minxue was furious. "They have occupied my daughter for so long, and I just want something from the Xue family. Is that too much? I tell you, you have to steal whether you want to or not!"

"I……"

Ying Huanyu pretended to hesitate, and when Li Minxue thought he had successfully brainwashed her, he stepped hard on Li Minxue, pushed her away and ran out.

Only when he looked back and couldn't see Li Minxue anymore did Ying Huanyu slow down his pace.

Don't catch up.

She couldn't imagine how her classmates, who already looked down on her, would look down on her if they knew that her biological mother was like this and was a cleaner.

She could only walk quickly towards the school gate, and later she was so anxious that she just ran.
