Su Meimei stormed back home. Su Hongyu locked the car and followed her helplessly, while Su Ziqi, as always, walked into the house looking nonchalant.
Liu Rulan was sitting on the sofa, chatting and grabbing red envelopes with relatives, family members and friends on WeChat. Suddenly, she heard a loud sound of shoes being thrown. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw her daughter walking over angrily. Su Meimei tossed her schoolbag aside and sat down.
"What's wrong?" Liu Rulan asked while grabbing a red envelope. "Who upset you?" This Su Meimei had really been spoiled into having a worse and worse temper.
Su Meimei crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, saying nothing. Su Hongyu, who came in later, laughed and exposed his sister's secret. "Meimei is lovesick!"
"Brother, you're talking nonsense!" Su Meimei exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Liu Rulan stopped grabbing red envelopes and asked with interest, "Oh? Which young master has Meimei taken a fancy to?"
Since the matter had been exposed, Su Meimei decided to just tell them. "Well, it's Jiang Ling!" As she said this, she blushed and turned her head away. After all, she was still a young girl. It was the first time she was talking to an adult about her crush, so she was shy!
"Oh, it's the young master of the Jiang family. Not bad. He's a good match for our Meimei!" Liu Rulan thought for a moment and clapped her hands. Jiang Ling was a nice boy. Liu Rulan quite liked him. He was very steady for his age and had good grades.
Su Meimei pouted and said unhappily, "But he ignores me." She complained aggrievedly, "I invited him out for tea on the weekend, and he said he already had a date!" It made her so angry!
Which rich young lady could be more beautiful than her? Who was it that made Jiang Ling abandon her, Su Meimei?
Su Hongyu was a bit impressed with Su Meimei. Oh, he didn't expect Meimei to be such an active person. This time she was so proactive! In the past, she always waited for boys to ask her out.
Su Ziqi thought that he had seen Su Meimei flirting with an unknown boy just a couple of days ago, and now she had shifted her target so quickly? No wonder Jiang Ling didn't like Su Meimei. After all, who would want their future girlfriend to be an unfaithful woman?
Not to mention that there would be a lot of business socializing in the future. Even when on a business trip, his wife might give him a cuckold!
Su Ziqi silently went upstairs to his room. He had no interest in listening to Su Meimei's pathetic complaints.
Liu Rulan didn't like Su Ziqi much anyway. Seeing him leave, it suited her. So she focused on Su Meimei and asked, "I don't think Jiang Ling is such an ungrateful person. Why did he reject your invitation?"
"How would I know! Blame the woman who made a date with Jiang Ling!" Why did she have to compete with her?
"How do you know it's a woman? I haven't heard that Jiang Ling has a girlfriend." Liu Rulan asked doubtfully.
"Isn't it obvious, Mommy?" Su Meimei rolled her eyes. "It must be a girl who has a crush on him. He's not gay, so it can't be a boy!"
It seemed that Su Meimei's thinking was quite simple. Just because boys made an appointment with each other didn't mean they were gay. Maybe they had made an appointment to play basketball on the weekend. Liu Rulan shook her head with a smile. "Invite him a few more times. He won't be able to refuse."
"I can't bring myself to do that!" Su Meimei said contemptuously. Boys always asked her out. It was already very generous of her to ask Jiang Ling out today. He just didn't give her any face!
"Meimei, Jiang Ling won't like your temper." Su Hongyu kindly reminded her.
"Humph!" Su Meimei didn't take this to heart. She had been pampered since childhood. Except for her family, she had never been polite to anyone. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Ling was her crush, she would have slapped him when he rejected her!
Su Hongyu looked at the stubborn Su Meimei and shrugged helplessly at Liu Rulan, indicating that there was nothing he could do about her. Liu Rulan also shook her head silently. This girl... Forget it. It was just a small matter. Let them sort it out themselves. Anyway, if there was a chance next time, she would bring up this matter with the Jiang family.
...
The next day
The more Su Meimei thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't let that cheap woman who had made a date with Jiang Ling get away with it! So she went to Class One after school. With so many people around, Jiang Ling surely wouldn't ignore her, right?
Su Meimei put on a confident and proud smile. As she walked in, she happened to see Jiang Ling getting up from his seat. Jiang Ling was the class monitor. With good grades, he sat in the front row, the first seat. So Su Meimei saw him right away.
"Jiang Ling!" Su Meimei called out to him sweetly.
"What is it?" Jiang Ling showed no expression on his face and asked Su Meimei in a flat tone.
Su Meimei bit her lip. "It's about the weekend. I'm inviting you again. Can you go for tea with me?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it still attracted the attention of the surrounding students. Su Meimei stared at Jiang Ling, thinking that he shouldn't ignore her!
But Jiang Ling still spit out two cold words, "No, thanks." It was obvious that he was very decisive, not even thinking for a second.
He really didn't give her any face! Su Meimei got angry. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just don't want to go." To be exact, he wasn't interested! Especially not with Su Meimei. He was even less interested! "Is that all? Then I'll go study." With that, he picked up a notebook and walked towards a corner of the classroom.
Su Meimei was so angry that her chest heaved. She watched as Jiang Ling sat down... next to Su Rou! Her eyes widened suddenly. Wait, what was going on? Why did Jiang Ling say he was going to study but then sit next to Su Rou?
It was obvious that Jiang Ling was going to study with Su Rou! There was nothing more of a blow to Su Meimei. For the first time, she regretted her mediocre grades.
"Damn it. Is his date Su Rou?" At this thought, Su Meimei was furious. And seeing the students around looking at her, she felt so humiliated that she turned around and left angrily.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
In Class One, Jiang Ling, as always, came to find Su Rou with his notebook. "Su Rou, don't sleep. Don't waste time. We should study hard!"
Su Rou was late again this morning. Jiang Ling had offered that from now on, Su Rou would help him solve problems, and he would help her make up for the classes she missed in the morning!
It was really a good deal!
