Chapter 191 - 191: The Uneducated Lei Shaoming
Pfft!
Xiaoxiao almost laughed out loud. She remembered now. It was that uncultured young master who didn’t know how to write.
Heh! The anger in Lei Shaoming’s heart surged-it was this sentence again! It was this tricking sentence again! Back then, he was frightened by that brat’s words and missed the best opportunity to settle scores with her. Why was she here again today?
I advise you to get lost as far as possible. It’s fine if you use your bluff once. Again, be careful not to play with fire and burn yourself.”
Shen Tianci was confused. He turned around and asked Xiaoxiao, “Is this person’s brain not working well?”
Lei Shaoming was furious. “Damn fatty, who are you scolding?”
Shen Tianci’s round face tensed up. “What did you call me just now?”
Seeing that he was really angry, Lei Shaoming was even happier. “Fatty, fat pig, I’m talking about you. What’s wrong?”
Shen Tianci had never been someone who could swallow his anger. He immediately waved his hand and wanted to instruct the servants to go forward and beat him up, but he was stopped by Xiaoxiao. Shen Tianci did not understand. Xiaoxiao sighed and said pitifully, “I remember now. Let’s not provoke this person. Otherwise, we might be ambushed in the alley and beaten up later.”
From an angle that Lei Shaoming could not see, Xiaoxiao blinked at Shen Tianci. Shen Tianci had eaten so many of her meals after all, so they had a basic tacit understanding. He immediately stopped the servants. “What do you mean?”
Lei Shaoming was already starting to feel smug. Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you send someone to follow me last time?”
Lei Shaoming raised his hand and tidied up his hair. He said arrogantly, “So what if I am? Who asked you to offend me? You were lucky last time, but next time…”
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “Sigh, I was just asking casually. You really admitted it?” It was good that he admitted it. Fortunately, Shen Tianci did not have the time to introduce himself. Otherwise, whoever confessed would not be so straightforward.
Shen Tianci was furious. “How dare you!”
At the same time, another angry voice sounded behind Xiaoxiao. “Followed?” Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and turned around with an embarrassed smile, begg>ng for mercy. “Brother, you’re out? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I made milk tea and freshly baked snacks for you!”
For a moment, she could not be sure if her brother’s anger was purely because of this young master who was not very literate.
Shen Tianci glared at Lei Shaoming. Ning Ansheng and Rong Yan also stood in front of him with unfriendly expressions. Lei Shaoming’s face turned green. He almost flicked his sleeves and fled.
After returning to the shop, Ning Ansheng did not say a word. He did not drink milk tea or eat Xiaoxiao’s Taro Cake Roll. He did not look unusual during lunch and communicated normally with Li Muyan and the rest.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao was unhappy and kept stealing glances at her brother, Rong Yan silently scooped a bowl of soup for her.
Xiaoxiao took a bite and did not move much. She only listened to the others quietly.
Today’s exam was to let the students write an article by themselves. Then, the examiner would ask questions about this article in detail.
Xiaoxiao deduced that the examinee’s results should be judged based on the examinee’s understanding of this article. Then, if someone deliberately wrote some articles that they did not know much about and handed them in in order to pretend, wouldn’t they be shooting themselves in the foot?
For example, Lei Shaoming had spent a lot of effort to enter the academy, but he failed to get the county magistrate’s recommendation letter. He had spent a lot of money to hire many students to give him advice and write poems. The article he submitted today was also the best article his advisers agreed on.
It was indeed good literature, but he could not understand it. Hence, when the examiner asked, Lei Shaoming was dumbfounded. After returning to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, he lost his temper and smashed everything in the private room.
The servant came to report that he had seen that brat and fatty enter the Fragrance Restaurant just now. Lei Shaoming rolled up his sleeves with a ruthless expression. “Get Ah Da to bring his men and come with me!”
Shopkeeper Lei had also heard about his nephew losing his temper, but in his opinion, it was only natural that the Lei Family would not suffer. In addition, he was still having a headache over the decreasing profits of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, so he let him be.
Lei Shaoming waited near the Fragrance Restaurant for a long time before finally seeing a few familiar figures.
He was not stupid. Even if he came to cause trouble, he would not do it in front of so many people. Hence, he followed them all the way and prepared to attack when there were fewer people.
However, what he did not know was that not to mention Rong Yan’s guards, even the servants of the Shen Family had smartly realized that something was wrong.
Mrs. Shen poked her son after hearing the servant’s report. “What trouble did you cause again?”
Shen Tianci felt aggrieved. He added fuel to the fire and complained. He even emphasized, “He personally admitted that he had ulterior motives for following Ning Xiaoxiao in the past. He even called me a fat pig!”
Mrs. Shen’s gentle expression suddenly became murderous. She sneered and led her people around. They really followed Lei Shaoming’s expectations. The further they walked, the fewer people were left. As they walked, she even comforted Xiaoxiao and the rest. “Don’t be afraid. Our Shen Family’s servants have all learned martial arts. We also sent someone to the county office to call for help just now. We won’t let you encounter any danger.”
Ning Ansheng suddenly asked, “Was this before or after Tong Bin got someone to ambush you?”
Xiaoxiao glanced at her brother timidly and said honestly, “Previously, but I hid. They left before they could find me.”
Ning Ansheng fell silent again.
Xiaoxiao sighed repeatedly in her heart. Big Brother was rarely really angry with her. How should she coax him now?
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say it, but she had forgotten about it. She didn’t know that Lei Shaoming was so petty. It had been so long, but he still cared.
Her bram was thinking of all kinds of ways to coax her brother when she heard Big Brother say faintly, “Big Brother doesn’t blame you for hiding it. 1 can only blame myself for not being capable and not letting you rely on me without worry. I don’t know anything other than farming. I can’t help you or protect you. That’s why I let you hold it in yourself and shoulder it yourself. I’m useless.”
“It’s the same for Second Uncle’s matter. You were followed and in danger consecutively.”
Xiaoxiao was instantly hit by guilt. This time, she really reflected on herself.
She boasted that she had a lifetime of experience. When she interacted with her family, she could not help but think of herself as the person she used to be. She always thought of resolving problems herself, but she never thought that perhaps doing this did not represent protection for her family, but distrust.
She sighed and raised her small hand to pinch the corner of her brother’s sleeve. “Brother, don’t say that. You’re the best brother in the world. You were in the past, now, and even more in the future.”
“Brother, I really know my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again. Don’t ignore me and don’t say that about yourself, okay?”
How could Ning Ansheng, who was addicted to doting on his sister, hold it in when she showed weakness like this? It was already his limit to persevere and not speak to her for so long. Ning Ansheng’s heart had long softened when she begged for peace so softly.
However, he could not let this matter go easily. This girl was too bold. She would dare to do it again if he did not let her learn her lesson..
