Capítulo 953: Chapter 641: Figured It Out / Schemes 2

A private school teacher who has just entered the field for less than a year dares to compete for power with senior predecessors, isn’t this asking for trouble?

No matter if there are any grievances among the seniors, at that time they will undoubtedly focus their efforts on dealing with her, the newcomer; it’s instinctive.

And for the man who likes her, if he originally valued the maximization of interests, then with the emergence of new opportunities for maximization and a more gentle woman coming along, of course, he wouldn’t choose her anymore.

The key issue here is that she is only the niece of Zhang Guoqing’s wife, without much connection to Zhang Guoqing himself.

The relationship between Wang Meifeng and her isn’t that good, the Qiang family surely knows about this, and it means that getting support from her is impossible. Therefore, under such circumstances, the Qiang family choosing another better option isn’t surprising either.

However, if Qiang Junjie really breaks off the engagement, what if her proud cousin does something irrational? Can her aunt bear it?

In any case, her aunt is one of the elders she respects the most.

Speaking of the devil, as the girls were worrying about Wang Meifeng, she came in with her aunt and went into the east room.

Su Qin got off the kang and said goodbye: “I have to go home and help with the cooking, or else my mother will show me a sour face again. Qihui, I’ll come and sleep with you tonight, and tomorrow morning I’ll head back to work.” She said while pushing down the others who were about to get off the kang, “No need to come down, I’m no outsider, I’m fine going by myself.”

Zhao Qihui pulled her leg back: “Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you, I’ll prepare your bed ahead of time so you won’t be cold.”

“That’s what I wanted to hear from you.” Su Qin waved her hand and quickly left the Zhao’s house.

“Sister Su Qin is now a worker, and her mother still treats her badly?” Luo Xiaoqiong curiously asked.

“Much better than before, but Su Qin has been away for a long time and doesn’t want to endure her any longer…” Zhao Qihui sighed, “Comparisons can be so frustrating, Su Qin once told me that if she could swap her mother and aunt, she’d be willing to live thirty years shorter.”

“I wouldn’t swap for the world…” Chuxia’s eyes widened at Zhao Qihui, “Even if I could live fifty years longer, I wouldn’t trade.”

Zhao Qihui laughed and poked her head: “Look at you getting all worked up, it’s just talk, if merely saying something like that could make it happen, wouldn’t things be in chaos?”

“True.” Chuxia laughed sheepishly, though she was genuinely nervous inside. Thinking of how everything had been rather smooth since she came to this era, she still couldn’t figure out why she came here. What if heaven really swapped things?

Tsk tsk tsk…, she spat a few times quietly to herself; Chuxia was left speechless by her own imagination. If it was so easy to swap, wouldn’t heaven be full of holes?

Wang Meifeng pushed the door open and entered, smiling at the group, she unceremoniously removed her shoes and climbed onto the kang.

“What brings you and aunt here?” Zhao Qihui asked.

“Sis, from the sound of it, you’re not welcoming us here?”

Zhao Qihui looked helpless: “Can’t you speak without being so direct?”

“How am I direct? I’m just stating the facts…” Wang Meifeng knew Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong wouldn’t help her, so she intentionally sighed, “Being straightforward has its downsides; you can accidentally offend a whole circle. By the way, how’s your study going? I’m taking the exam this year too, did you know?”

As she changed the topic, Zhao Qihui followed: “Yeah, aunt mentioned it, said you’ve been working exceptionally hard recently.”

“No matter how hard I work, you have the edge, having taken it once before and having a professional tutor, sis, since we are cousins, you can’t hold back on me.

The exam is over four months away; I plan to stay at your place starting next month, so we can study together every day.”

Not expecting Wang Meifeng to make such a request, Zhao Qihui was stunned and asked: “You’re not teaching?”

Wang Meifeng laughed: “I am, I can come over after school.”

“That sounds exhausting, you’ve got several teachers at the school who can tutor you, why go through all this trouble?”

“Sis, are you purposely pointing out my flaws? I can’t believe you don’t know that I don’t get along with the teachers at school; they’re too petty and worry I’ll take their spot; they wouldn’t want to teach me.”

Although she was very reluctant to spend time with Wang Meifeng, since the other party said this, Zhao Qihui was reluctant to refuse outright. But neither did she want to agree directly, so she said ambiguously: “Okay, as long as grandpa and grandma agree, I have no issue.”

But Wang Meifeng wouldn’t let it go: “As long as you agree, they’ll definitely agree.”

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qihui candidly said: “You know, I’d rather not spend time with you.”

Wang Meifeng wasn’t angry. Instead, she smiled and taunted: “Sis, are you afraid that I’ll score better than you and you’ll lose face?”

“No.” Zhao Qihui looked at her seriously, “It’s your personality I don’t like; you’re too selfish. If we really live together, you won’t leave me in peace to study.”

“Sis, you think too low of me. I, Wang Meifeng, do like to win, but I’d never use such vile methods, especially not against my family.

Forget it, since you said so, if I keep insisting, that really would be pointless. It’s clear that none of you want me here, so I won’t bother.”

As Wang Meifeng said these words, she got off the kang to put on her shoes, making Zhao Qihui relent and pull her back: “It’s not like what you think, come if you want.” (To be continued.
