Chapter 165 - 165 Chapter 164, Someone Who Fell From A High Position Will Be Bullied
Li Xu took off her apron and walked in front of the three children, “Alright, alright, pack up your homework and let’s go home!”
Hearing this, Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang obediently put their homework into their school bags.
Li Xu brought the three children home. Zhang Kun tidied up the shop and returned to the dormitory.
Early the next morning, when Ji Yuanyuan and her brothers came downstairs, they were surprised to find that Hu Chunli was waiting downstairs with Yang Jingyi.
When she saw Ji Yuanyuan come down, Yang Jingyi greeted him cheerfully, “Yuanyuan!”
She ran over, scaring Hu Chunli so much that she kept chasing after her, “You’re not allowed to run, walk slowly.”
Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously, “Why are you here?”
Yang Jingyi held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, “I’m going to school with you from now on.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Hu Chunli strangely.
Hu Chunli smiled helplessly, “Yuanyuan, Zixuan, and Zi’ang, I’ll have to trouble the three of you from now on. Help Auntie keep an eye on Yang Jingyi. Don’t let her run around. If she gets hurt, it’ll be a serious matter.”
Ji Zixuan nodded his head seriously, “Got it, Auntie, I’ll help you keep an eye on Jingyi.”
Yang Jingyi looked at Ji Zixuan and could not help but grin.
“Buy something on the way and share it with your friends!” Hu Chunli reached out and handed five Yuan to Yang Jingyi.
Yang Jingyi casually took it and stuffed it into her pocket, “Got it.”
Seeing Yang Jingyi’s impatient look, Hu Chunli felt a little helpless, “Alright then, you guys go quickly, don’t be late.”
Yang Jingyi nodded randomly and pulled Ji Yuanyuan away.
“Why did you suddenly want to go to school with me?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in a low voice, “Did your mother agree to it just like that?”
Yang Jingyi said a little irritably, “She follows me every morning and keeps nagging me on the way. I can’t walk fast, I can’t lower my head, and I can’t go near anything with sharp horns. I’m so annoyed.”
As she spoke, she raised her head and chuckled, “I’ll cry if she doesn’t agree with me. She gets scared when I cry!”
Ji Yuanyuan turned around and took a glance at Yang Jingyi.
She saw that Hu Chunli did not leave. Instead, she followed them at a distance of about ten meters behind them.
When she saw Ji Yuanyuan looking at her, Hu Chunli quickly hid.
Seeing her like this, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little sad.
She could be considered a mother. She could understand how important a child was to a mother.
“Your mother is doing this for your own good. She can only achieve her goal by hurting herself in front of the person who loves you,” Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice, “If it’s in front of a stranger, they won’t care even if you cry and faint.”
Yang Jingyi frowned when she heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, “Why have you become so naggy?”
Ji Yuanyuan sighed helplessly.
Yang Jingyi was still young. It was the time for her to be playful. Naturally, she could not understand her parents’ good intentions.
Perhaps, it would be better when she was older.
Ji Yuanyuan held Yang Jingyi’s hand tightly.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang followed behind her. When they passed by the breakfast shop, they went in to buy a few buns.
When they came out of the bun shop, Ji Zixuan handed one of the buns to Ji Yuanyuan. Ji Zixuan knew that Yang Jingyi had eaten before, so he did not buy any for her when he bought the buns.
However, seeing Yang Jingyi staring at him, Ji Zixuan hesitated for a moment and gave one of his two buns to Yang Jingyi, “This is for you to eat.”
Yang Jingyi smiled fawningly and took the bun from his hand. She took a big bite of it, “It’s so delicious…”
This was how children were; snatching food was the best.
The four of them walked toward the school, but they didn’t see two pairs of eyes staring at them from behind.
“Mom, I’m hungry!” Shen Lingxue reached out and tugged at Shen Mei’s sleeve.
Shen Mei came back to her senses. She grabbed Shen Lingxue’s cold little hand with some heartache and dug into her pocket. There were only a few cents left.
She hesitated for a moment before going forward and saying, “Boss, this is all I have. See how many buns you can give!”
The boss raised his head and looked at the mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter were wearing thin but expensive overcoats. Their hair was messy and it was unknown how many days they had not cleaned up.
There were still a few scratches on the adult’s face. It looked like they were scratched by a woman’s fingernails and had scabs.
There were also scratches on the little girl’s face, but they were much lighter than the woman’s.
In any case, the mother and daughter did not look like good people.
The boss immediately took three buns, “Logically speaking, you can only buy two. The other one is a gift from me.”
He only hoped that the mother and daughter would stop pestering him and quickly take the buns and leave!
But unexpectedly, Shen Mei took the buns and came over. She smiled and said, “Boss, can you give me two bowls of hot water? Look at the cold weather…”
When Shen Mei smiled, she deliberately moved closer with a pitiful look in her eyes.
She was good-looking, and this trick was almost always successful in front of men.
However, what surprised Shen Mei was that when the owner of the steamed bun shop saw her expression, he showed a look of disgust, “Go, go, go. The shop doesn’t provide hot water. Hurry up and move aside, there’s still a queue behind!”
Shen Mei was stunned. She bit her lip and looked at the owner of the steamed bun shop with an aggrieved expression.
“Boss, we’re really too cold…”
“Where did this beggar come from?” At this moment, the lady boss of the steamed bun shop noticed the situation and walked over with her hands on her hips.
...
“Aiyo, who are you putting on this face for? Are you a b*tch? Are you trying to seduce him? DId you use this face for seducing a man that’s why it was scratched by others?” The lady boss saw Shen Mei’s expression and immediately scolded her.
They were both women, who didn’t understand what she was doing?
When Shen Mei heard this, she was so angry that she couldn’t maintain her expression anymore. Her chest heaved up and down, “Who are you scolding? It’s just asking for two bowls of hot water to drink? With your man like this, who would want to seduce him?”
He was just a smelly bun seller. Her entire body was covered in a stench.
“You…” The lady boss was anxious.
However, the boss stopped her and said, “Alright, alright. Don’t let her affect our business, don’t lower yourself to her level.”
As he spoke, he called out to the customers who were lining up behind him, “Come, those at the back, walk forward. There are still many steamed buns.”
Seeing this, the customers behind him directly bypassed Shen Mei and walked in front of her.
Shen Mei glared fiercely at the couple before leaving with Shen Lingxue.
It was really that someone who fell from a high position will be bullied. If she wasn’t in dire straits now, she would definitely make the couple look good!
Shen Lingxue didn’t care so much. She tugged at Shen Mei’s sleeve and said impatiently, “Mom, steamed buns, steamed buns…”
