Chapter 32: Personally Poking At Xia Ru’s Sore Spot
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Wan’s lips twitched, and she produced a sarcastic smile, saying somewhat vaguely, “Yes, sister Xia Ru is so capable that I made her my role model. It’s a pity that she is such an outstanding person. Grandma, you always praise her for her good grades, but why didn’t she get into high school?
“On the other hand, my grandmother always said that my grades were bad, but it turned out that I lucked out during the exam and got into high school.
“It seems that I was indeed quite lucky. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter if you’re strong or not... it’s not as good as being lucky.”
Xia Wan looked as if she was feeling sorry for Xia Ru, but Xia Ru’s heart ached when she heard this.
She didn’t want to work, and she certainly didn’t want to be earning money so early.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, it just so happened that she was unwell while taking the high school entrance exam and performed poorly. She was supposed to be able to get into high school, but she failed.
Xia Wan, who she usually looked down on, had actually gotten into high school.
This matter had always been a thorn in Xia Ru’s heart. Her family had never talked about this in front of her, afraid of upsetting her. Now that Xia Wan had brought this up publicly, Xia Ru’s expression immediately turned.
Li Jin also noticed the change in Xia Ru’s mood and quickly scolded Xia Wan. “What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Xia Ru didn’t get into high school, she’s still a hundred times better than you!
“Our Xia Ru has been so sensible and obedient. She knows how to respect her grandmother with the money she earns. How could such a good child have any bad luck in the future?”
“Xia Wan, you just got lucky when you were in high school. You’re still a student. Don’t you know what humility is?”
Xia Wan let Li Jin scold her and only lowered her head, showing an attitude that she would listen to whatever she said.
She knew that no matter how Li Jin scolded her, it would not change the fact that Xia Ru didn’t get into high school.
Perhaps it didn’t make much of a difference whether they did or not. It would always be difficult for their village to produce a college student.
In the future, however, Xia Ru would discover the difference between a college student and a middle school student.
Xia Ru suppressed the discomfort in her heart and took out a piece of candy for Xia Wan. “Here, this is the candy I saved you. Eat it.”
Xia Wan didn’t take it.
Before entering the house, she had already noticed that there were bite marks around the sweet. It looked sticky, and when she looked at Xia Yu, who was drooling not far away, Xia Wan quickly guessed that Xia Yu had most likely bitten into the candy.
His goal was to monopolize these candies.
At this time, candy was a rare commodity. Children loved it, but Xia Wan didn’t. She had bought a lot of good things today. In addition to the meat for her parents, she also bought some high-quality candy, which she had specially reserved for herself, Xia Chen, and Xia Feng. It was far more costly than Xia Ru’s candy, and it tasted much better.
Xia Wan waved her hand and said humbly, “Sister Xia Ru, I’m sorry to have made you unhappy. I won’t be eating the candy. Besides, I’m sick, and I’m coughing all the time. Eating candy won’t be good for me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as she finished, Xia Yu immediately snatched the candy from Xia Ru’s hand, peeled off the wrapper quickly, and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, “If she doesn’t eat it, I’ll eat it. If she doesn’t know what’s good for her, she won’t have the life to eat candy.”
Xia Wan’s indifferent attitude made Xia Ru feel frustrated again.
In the past, Xia Wan had been a little tsundere. Grandma didn’t love her, so she would be grateful to you if you showed her a little concern.
But now, she had taken the initiative to give candy to Xia Wan, but Xia Ru still looked unhappy.
She was surprised by Xia Wan’s reaction, and her dislike for her only grew.
Xia Wan didn’t want to stay there any longer, so she coughed a few more times, looking very weak. Li Jin was afraid that she would infect others, so she quickly said, “Hurry back to your room. If you’re not feeling well, don’t appear in front of everyone. You might just infect others.”
Xia Wan nodded and headed straight back to her room.
Li Jin was a little surprised. Previously, Xia Wan had to reply to her with a few words, but now she was obediently going back to her room?
Li Jin thought it was strange, but she didn’t take it to heart. In her opinion, Xia Wan’s business wasn’t worth her attention at all.
Half an hour later, Xia Hai returned from work. Xia Wan excitedly called him and Yan Han to her room.
