Chapter 7: Provocation

The girl in front of him sat in a halo cast by the classroom window. Her eyelashes and hair emitted a golden light.

Like everyone else, she was wearing a simple school uniform, but her temperament was very different.

Such an old-fashioned suit and skirt made her look noble and dignified.

Lin Tao pointed at the notebook in front of Qi Ying. “Newcomer, are you Zhang Ning’s sister from the countryside?”

Qi Ying did not answer. She only raised her head slightly and stared at the girl with her beautiful cat eyes.

Lin Tao felt goosebumps all over her body. Although this person’s eyes were good-looking, she felt like she could see through everything.

“You’re a freshman in the Department of Economics, right?” Lin Tao asked Cui Yu.

“Yeah, where else would you see me?”

As they spoke, the girls walked in, including Bai Ke, who had seen Qi Ying this morning.

When Bai Ke saw Qi Ying, she hummed in confusion. “Are you Zhang Ning’s sister?”

When Qi Ying saw Bai Ke, she nodded slightly. “We’re just living together.”

Living together? Who else could it be other than that country bumpkin?

“Xiao Ning treats you so well. What do you mean by living together? Does your conscience feel better?”

Lin Tao spoke. She was Zhang Ning’s follower and had just been shocked by Qi Ying’s gaze. Now, she was even more furious.

“That’s right, that’s right. The Zhang family treats you so well. Are you so heartless?”

“Don’t let us know that you treat Xiao Ning badly. Otherwise, we’ll teach you a lesson.”

The Zhang family treated her very well?

Qi Ying sneered in her heart. She didn’t know what these girls had heard from Zhang Ning, but they actually thought that the Zhang family treated her very well.

She slowly leaned back in her chair and sized up the people in front of her.

“The Zhang family is just a place for me to settle down for a while. But now, it seems that I don’t have to stay much longer.” Qi Ying smiled faintly.

The girls found it ridiculous.

The Zhang family was rich and powerful, and the daughters were even engaged to the Yan family. These young ladies from aristocratic families wished they could reincarnate and become young ladies like Zhang Ning, but this girl actually said that the Zhang family was a place to stay for a while.

“Don’t be ungrateful.” Lin Tao crossed her arms and mocked.

The few of them looked at Qi Ying with unconvinced expressions.

Only Bai Ke did not speak. She frowned slightly and recalled what Qi Ying had said to her this morning. She did not say anything.

This girl did not look like someone to be trifled with, but she did not look like a heartless person either.

Just as they were in a deadlock, a bag of chalk was thrown at the girls.

Their black school uniforms were stained with colorful chalk dust. They looked in the direction of the chalk in exasperation.

It was a red-haired boy in a strange outfit.

The few of them were about to curse when they suddenly shut their mouths.

This red-haired boy was a first-year school bully, Jin Shi. His family was powerful and he was also very powerful.

“You keep talking about Zhang Ning. If there’s anything, get Zhang Ning to come to the freshman economics class to look for her. Don’t come looking for trouble. It’s annoying.” The boy patted the chalk dust in his hand and reached out to Qi Ying.

“Let’s get to know each other. I’m Jin Shi. The class is under my protection. If you need anything, look for me.”

Although Jin Shi was a school bully, he hated it when others bullied his classmates.

“Qi Ying.”

“Are you Qi Ying, the Zhang family’s fraternal twin?”

Qi Ying frowned. Fraternal twins? The Zhang family’s cover-up had spread far and wide.

“Yes.” Qi Ying nodded and shook Jin Shi’s hand.

“Ignore them. Zhang Ning is a troublemaker. If she makes things difficult for you in the future, just look for me.” The red-haired boy walked leisurely to the back of the classroom.

The girls patted the chalk dust off their bodies and walked back to the classroom cursing.

Not only did Zhang Ning provide them with fake information, but they were humiliated by Jin Shi. They were really embarrassed.

Only Bai Ke glanced at Qi Ying before she left.

Qi Ying only smiled faintly at her.

She thought of what Qi Ying had said in the morning. She opened her phone and dialed her uncle’s number.

“Uncle, how have you been recently?”

“I’ve been fine recently. I just don’t have much strength in my left arm. Why?”

There was no strength in his left arm. Could this have something to do with heart disease?

“Uncle, go to the hospital for a heart checkup and get some heart medicine.”
