Finally, after waiting for the whole Su family, including Su Kaiming, to leave, Su Rou let out a sigh of relief. Having the entire Su family around was just too awkward. The atmosphere was so tense! "I thought only Brother Hongyu would come," she murmured. Who would've thought a whole bunch of them would show up!
"Well, next time don't open the door if they come like this," Su Yuze said. He hadn't wanted to let them in from the start. They always came with bad intentions anyway.
"But..." It didn't seem right, did it? After all, they were still part of the Su family! "If it's just business, they should go to the company to discuss it," she added. She really didn't like turning their home into such a place.
"I know," he replied. He'd made it very clear to them, but who knew if they'd repeat their mistakes. "By the way, what were you running up and down for just now? You were holding a mop and a rag."
When it came to this, Su Rou was utterly speechless. It was just that Little Cutie had peed in the game room. Was there any need to make such a big deal out of it? And that person had even grabbed her arm tightly. Had they never seen a puppy pee before?
"Little Cutie peed," Su Rou said helplessly. "So I went to clean it up."
"Why didn't you ask Sister Wang to do it?" Su Yuze inquired. Su Rou had never done such "menial tasks" since she was a kid. Besides, they had a nanny for exactly this kind of thing. Why did she have to do it herself?
"Sister Wang was cooking!" Su Rou gently punched Su Yuze's thigh, as if he'd asked a really silly question.
So what if she was cooking? "You could've just left it for Sister Wang to clean up later," he said. Watching her running up and down like a little spinning top, he felt tired just looking at her. "And where was Su Meimei?" As the older sister, shouldn't she have helped Su Rou?
"Meimei was there..." Su Rou sighed. "When she saw Little Cutie pee, she was so scared that she quickly told me to clean it up." And she herself had scurried away in disgust.
Su Yuze frowned. "She dared to order you around?" Su Meimei's character really hadn't changed. From childhood to now, she was the one in the Su family who loved to bully Little Rou the most!
"She was terrified," Su Rou said, smiling slightly as she recalled. "She looked so funny. Even after I'd cleaned the floor, she still didn't dare to step on it." What a spoiled princess.
Su Yuze's eyes darkened slightly. No matter how funny Su Meimei was, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for her even if she slipped on the dog pee! "From now on, try to have less to do with Su Meimei, okay?"
"But Meimei and I are classmates," Su Rou said. Their classrooms were just separated by a wall. They could even see each other when passing by in the corridor!
"If she bullies you at school... don't be afraid. Just fight back however you like."
If there ever came a day when they really fell out with the Su family, it would definitely be because of Su Meimei!
...
When Su Meimei went to school, she usually carried a lot of things in her hands: flowers, food, and juice. These were all gifts from her admirers. Every day, there were boys standing at the school gate and on the stairs, waiting to give these things to her as soon as she passed by. Their intention to curry favor was very obvious.
On the surface, Su Meimei pretended not to care, but in fact, she was really happy to receive so many things. It completely satisfied her little girl's vanity! Carrying a bunch of gifts, she passed by Class One. Coincidentally, she saw Jiang Ling coming out with a stack of homework in his hand. It seemed he was going to hand it in to the teacher.
"Ahem..." Su Meimei pretended to cough lightly, deliberately trying to catch Jiang Ling's attention.
Jiang Ling turned his head and looked at her. A strange look flashed across his gentle and handsome face. "What do you want, Miss Su?"
"Why are you being so formal? Just call me Meimei," Su Meimei said. As she spoke, she used her finger, painted with bright nail polish, to fiddle with the things in her arms. Pretending to be troubled, she said, "Ugh, I get so many things every day. It's so annoying... Jiang Ling, could you help me carry some?"
Humph, see? See my charm? These are all proofs that the boys like me... Jiang Ling, you'll regret not choosing me!
Jiang Ling just calmly sized up Su Meimei and said expressionlessly, "Really? I think you're actually enjoying it. I've got things in my hands. You can ask your... admirers to help you." With that, he walked around Su Meimei and left.
As he passed by Su Meimei, he keenly smelled the perfume on her body and... the smell of nail polish. All in all, the mixed smell was really unpleasant. He subconsciously frowned, and suddenly, the clean and refreshing image of Su Rou popped into his mind.
"Should I buy something to eat for Little Rou..." Jiang Ling muttered to himself. After handing in his homework in the office, he turned around and headed towards the school canteen!
Ling Tiantian was really surprised when she saw Su Meimei arriving with a whole lot of stuff. "Meimei, you're amazing!" There were so many things again! Food, things to look at, and things to use.
Although the female classmates sitting around didn't really like Su Meimei in their hearts, they had to admit that she was really rich! No wonder those boys were so eager to curry favor with her. How many of them really liked Su Meimei for who she was?
"Su Meimei, you're really awesome!" A female classmate couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. Even though she didn't like her in her heart, she had to put on a good show on the surface.
"Hehe, it's nothing," Su Meimei said, smiling vainly as she accepted all the praise around her.
"Don't be so modest. Su Meimei, you're the recognized school belle among the boys in our school!" A girl playfully patted Su Meimei on the shoulder.
Su Meimei pretended to be completely unaware. "Huh? What?"
"Hey? Haven't you looked at the bulletin board?" Ling Tiantian interjected. "They're currently selecting the top ten beauties in No. 1 Middle School on the bulletin board!" At present, Su Meimei's vote count was firmly in first place.
Of course, Su Meimei knew about it. She wasn't interested in studying, but she was really interested in this kind of thing. "Really? I don't even know where the school's bulletin board is!"
"There are several bulletin boards. I'll take you to have a look during lunch break," Ling Tiantian said. She was really envious. Which girl didn't love beauty? Someone like Su Meimei, who was beautiful and rich, who cared about her grades?
Su Meimei nodded. "Sure."
Then, she spread out all the things the boys had given her on the table. "We're all classmates. Let's share these things together."
"That's so embarrassing," a girl said with a coy smile. "Maybe one of those boys will be your future boyfriend!"
"It's still too early! I can't finish all these things by myself anyway."
"Okay, then we won't be polite."
"Thanks, Su Meimei!"
Ling Tiantian also grabbed a chocolate she liked. She had to admit that Su Meimei was quite good at winning people over!
