Chapter 549 Coward
Zhuge Mingshan knew that Gong Ruini’s parents would definitely come over. The environment here was so good, of course, they would use the excuse of wanting to see their children to quickly come to Grandpa San’s house.
Zhuge Mingshan didn’t expect these people to not even bother hiding it, coming over so early in the morning; they weren’t just impatient, they were overly eager.
Zhuge Mingshan felt quite disdainful towards Zhan Jing and the others, thinking that such money-hungry people wouldn’t have a good ending, though she managed to keep her expression in check.
The problem was that Zhuge Mingshan hid it well, but she was facing people who had seen human nature too many times. Especially since a person’s eyes can easily betray them, Zhuge Mingshan’s eye expression directly showed her disdain towards Cai Meina and them, which Cai Meina caught perfectly.
This really upset Cai Meina. They were there to visit the elders and talk about Zhao Xuran and how they were doing at school, but this girl’s inherent disdain for Zhao Xuran and the others made Zhao Gang very dissatisfied.
If it weren’t for wanting to know how Zhao Xuran and the others were doing at school, they truly wouldn’t bother with this pretentious girl.
Zhan Jing put on a good face and got along quite well with Zhuge Mingshan, and in no time at all, she already knew how Zhao Xuran and the others were doing at school.
Zhao Guangran and the others hid by the door and listened for a long time, finding that Zhuge Mingshan kept praising Gong Ruwen, but simply glossed over Zhao Xuran.
Zhao Guangran and Gong Ruini weren’t even worth mentioning; there wasn’t a single good word. It was all about how overboard they were, and that even if they had good test papers, they wouldn’t share them with everyone.
"Thick-skinned enough, sharing with everyone? Have they not been doing enough papers recently?" It’s said that many teachers had started making papers, and as for the advanced classes, due to Teacher Wu’s connections, they managed to get some interesting test papers.
Although due to internal confidentiality, Gong Ruini and the others weren’t aware of these papers, if you did something, you couldn’t hide it.
"We have to consider the fact that she’s not having it easy in class recently," Zhao Guangran said, expressing that they were all sensible children who should be considerate of Zhuge Mingshan.
Is she having a tough time? Gong Ruini didn’t know, but what she did know was, "She’ll definitely hold us accountable for this," making Gong Ruini quite helpless.
"But why does she always speak well of Brother Ruiwen?" Zhao Guangran genuinely didn’t understand, "She doesn’t speak well of me or Ni Zi; we can understand, after all, we’re the ones who embarrassed her."
"But she doesn’t seem to have a good feeling about Brother Ruiwen, hasn’t she always been staring at my brother?" Zhao Guangran couldn’t figure it out, "Could she be deliberately trying to attract my brother’s attention?"
Aside from this possibility, Zhao Guangran really didn’t know why Zhuge Mingshan would do such a thing.
Deliberately attracting Zhao Xuran’s attention? Doesn’t she know that she should let Zhao Xuran pay special attention? Of course, this attention isn’t any kind of goodwill, but full of dislike.
Gong Ruwen watched the two discussing energetically, while the youngest, Ban Xia, listened with wide eyes as Zhao Guangran and the others talked.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense; don’t you see Ban Xia is here?" indicating to Zhao Guangran and the others to pay attention to the situation, "Besides, I think Zhuge Mingshan probably mistook someone."
Mistaken someone? No way, "She can’t be this dumb, right?" Zhao Guangran said, noting that although Zhuge Mingshan occasionally acted whimsically, she wouldn’t make such a stupid mistake, would she?
"My brother and Ni Zi look so different, and Brother Ruiwen does resemble Ni Zi a bit."
"If she still got it wrong, well, then her eyes are beyond saving," Zhao Guangran said, concluding, "Of course, whether or not her eyes work isn’t important, the important thing is her brain doesn’t."
"It’s not having a brain," Gong Ruwen had various aversions towards Zhuge Mingshan, noting how last time reporting to Grandpa Zhuge didn’t work, she just changed to someone else to report to. Did she do anything else besides complain every day?
Zhao Guangran listened growing more and more annoyed; people like this should be rushed in fiercely and have their nasty face ripped, "Brother, should we go in?"
"Go in," Zhao Xuran was also very angry, thankful that his parents had likely talked to Grandpa Zhuge before, otherwise they would really not be able to clear themselves.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Gong, Aunt Cai," Zhao Xuran couldn’t help but be grateful that Zhuge Mingshan didn’t act too aggressively before, otherwise, it would really be stomach-churning.
When Zhao Xuran spoke up to greet them, everyone turned their eyes to Zhuge Mingshan, unsurprised to see her face full of disbelief.
"Hi Mom and Dad, Uncle Gong, Aunt Cai," Zhao Guangran smugly threw an "are your eyes bad?" look at Zhuge Mingshan, before following to greet them.
"Hi Mom and Dad, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhan," Gong Ruini and Gong Ruwen said in unison.
Won’t they? Zhuge Mingshan knew Gong Ruini and the others were home, but she had been there for so long, yet hadn’t seen Gong Ruini and the others. While she didn’t know why they hadn’t appeared, wasn’t this the best time to complain about them? Of course, all sorts of complaining ensued.
To her surprise, she was caught red-handed by Zhao Guangran and the others, and what’s more important, the one she liked was actually Zhao Xuran, but oh god, it was Brother Zhao Guangran.
It’s said that Zhao Xuran really liked his brother Zhao Guangran, and she had just said numerous unfavorable things about Zhao Guangran.
Zhuge Mingshan wished she could slap herself to death; this attempt to curry favor was so misguided. She didn’t see that currying favor wasn’t achieved, and she might just die for it.
"Hello, Zhuge Mingshan, I don’t know who you are in my family, you’re not a classmate or a relative, but you’re way too interested in me," Zhao Guangran didn’t care, especially knowing her thoughts towards his brother, he had to keep this pair separate.
Zhao Guangran knew that his brother wouldn’t be satisfied with Zhuge Mingshan, but he was worried that one day his brother might suddenly lose his mind, so caution was always best.
"I was just worried about you," Zhuge Mingshan felt bitter in her heart. Sigh, how foolish she had been; looking at it now, Gong Ruini does look quite like her brother, how had she once firmly thought Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran were siblings?
Could it be because she saw Gong Ruini holding Zhao Xuran’s arm? But they’re not real siblings, aren’t they a bit too close?
Worried about me? Zhao Guangran was startled by the flirtatious looks Zhuge Mingshan threw his way, "What are you doing, what are you doing? Haven’t you given enough disdainful looks already, now planning to upgrade them?"
"Did you really think we didn’t know what you were up to? Complaining in front of Grandpa Zhuge."
"Spreading bad words about us throughout the school, saying that we freeload at Grandpa Zhuge’s place, I just don’t understand what it matters to you." Zhao Guangran criticized her without any courtesy. Whether Zhuge Mingshan could handle it was not something Zhao Guangran needed to consider.
Oh, did this child really say that? Zhan Jing was truly like a balloon popping with anger, "So that’s what happened."
