Qin Hongying, who should have gone back to her room to rest, had been waiting eagerly in the living room, looking forward to the arrival of her little fans.
"Finally, it's going to be lively today," Qin Hongying said as she pulled aside the lace curtain covering the glass door of the villa. There was a kind smile on her face that made her look ten years younger.
"That's right," Aunt Zhou replied perfunctorily, quietly taking out her phone to check the message from Zhou Qianqian.
According to the location sent by Zhou Qianqian, they were only one kilometer away. Aunt Zhou put away her phone and looked at Qin Hongying, who was full of enthusiasm. She tried to discuss with her.
"Madam, when your little fans come, could you not tell them that I'm your caregiver?"
Qin Hongying understood that Aunt Zhou wanted to protect Zhou Qianqian's self - esteem. Without Aunt Zhou saying more, she nodded with a smile.
"I know. Nowadays, kids are so thin - skinned. I'll just say I'm her aunt. It'll also give her some face."
"Okay." Aunt Zhou was relieved when she heard Qin Hongying's words. She nodded and thanked her, "Thank you, Madam."
"Hey, no. You should call me sister," Qin Hongying corrected Aunt Zhou, with a serious look in her eyes.
"Otherwise, we'll be found out."
"Oh, right. Sister," Aunt Zhou happily changed her words.
The closer Zhou Qianqian and her classmates got to the villa, the more proud she felt. She tried hard to put on a calm expression.
But Qian Lili just had to spoil Zhou Qianqian's show. With a sarcastic look in her eyes and a meaningful smile, she asked,
"Zhou Qianqian, I remember your mom is a caregiver. Could it be that this villa isn't yours but belongs to the person your mom takes care of?"
Guessed right by Qian Lili, Zhou Qianqian trembled and subconsciously denied it sharply, "What are you talking about? This is my family's villa!"
After she finished speaking, Li Jiayi and the deputy monitor were startled by Zhou Qianqian's attitude.
Only then did Zhou Qianqian realize that her reaction was over - the - top. Like a fish caught by a fisherman, she gasped for breath to calm herself down.
Zhou Qianqian's voice became a bit softer, but it was still trembling.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is my family's villa."
"Really?"
Qian Lili stared into Zhou Qianqian's eyes in disbelief, like a fierce dog trying to dig out something from them.
She didn't believe that if Zhou Qianqian were really rich, she would let herself be bullied by her.
Afraid of being exposed, Zhou Qianqian turned her head away and quickened her pace, urging them in a hurry,
"Let's go quickly. My mom and my... my aunt are waiting for you."
Saying that, Zhou Qianqian walked straight ahead with her head down.
Qian Lili shrugged and followed. The monitor Li Jiayi, the deputy monitor Yu Wenwen and the others were left looking at each other in dismay.
Li Jiayi whispered to Yu Wenwen and the others, complaining about Zhou Qianqian, "Her reaction just now was like a mental patient. Is it really reliable to stay at her place?"
The deputy monitor advised Li Jiayi to be more open - minded.
"Although Zhou Qianqian is a bit neurotic, staying at her place at least means we don't have to pay for accommodation and meals. It's a bargain we shouldn't miss."
"That's right," Yu Wenwen snorted and said indifferently, "It was Qian Lili who provoked her. It has nothing to do with us. We just need to enjoy ourselves."
Li Jiayi nodded and came up with another idea, "Let's create a group just for the three of us. It'll be easier to discuss things if something really happens."
The deputy monitor and Yu Wenwen both nodded in agreement, and the three of them quickly created a group.
When Zhou Qianqian brought her classmates home and pushed open the door, Qin Hongying immediately came up, with a gentle and polite smile on her face.
"Qianqian, you've brought your friends. Come in quickly."
"Yes, Aunt," Zhou Qianqian wasn't used to Qin Hongying being so gentle with her. She introduced Qin Hongying to her classmates.
"This is my aunt, my mom's sister."
After Zhou Qianqian mumbled this, she stepped aside to let her classmates in and took out disposable slippers for them to change.
She just said that Qin Hongying was Aunt Zhou's sister, without specifying whether they were real sisters or just sworn sisters.
In this way, the classmates wouldn't suspect, and Qin Hongying wouldn't over - think.
"Change your shoes quickly," Zhou Qianqian said.
"Okay," Li Jiayi nodded nervously.
All four of them bent down to put on their shoes, their eyes glued to the beautiful villa.
Although the outside of the villa had an ancient charm, the inside was resplendent. All kinds of shiny utensils glistened even more in the sunlight.
The furniture, although full of ancient charm, was inlaid with gold and silver threads, depicting all kinds of beautiful patterns.
"Zhou Qianqian, your home is really beautiful," Li Jiayi sincerely praised.
The deputy monitor and Yu Wenwen also nodded in agreement, their eyes fixed on the huge and beautiful crystal chandelier.
"I'm glad you like it," Zhou Qianqian's vanity was greatly satisfied by their praise. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Qian Lili, hoping to see amazement on her face.
Although Qian Lili thought the inside of the villa was really beautiful, she didn't want Zhou Qianqian to see her true feelings. She gritted her teeth to hold back her exclamation.
Humph, it's just a big villa!
She didn't care at all!
Qian Lili tried hard to brainwash herself, and her face became uglier and uglier.
From Qian Lili's increasingly unpleasant expression, Zhou Qianqian knew that Qian Lili must be secretly jealous in her heart. She became even more inflated and elated.
When Qian Lili was changing her shoes, the huge LV logo on Qin Hongying's body caught her attention.
Qin Hongying was wearing a beautiful floral dress. The red - and - white color scheme showed the vitality of summer.
She wore a warm and pure white pearl necklace around her neck, and her hair was neatly coiled up and fixed with a green hairpin.
Although Qin Hongying wasn't a top - notch beauty, she had a very good temperament, giving people a gentle and unforgettable feeling.
Qian Lili shifted her eyes to Zhou Qianqian's clothes. Zhou Qianqian was wearing a simple T - shirt and shorts. Although the material was good, they were obviously not big - brand.
Qian Lili became more suspicious. She compared the dress Qin Hongying was wearing with the one Aunt Zhou was wearing.
Although Aunt Zhou had a kind smile on her face, she was also wearing ordinary clothes and an off - white apron.
Standing together with Qin Hongying, they didn't look like sisters at all. They didn't look alike in appearance or temperament. Instead, they looked like a mistress and a maid.
Could there really be such a big difference between sisters?
Qian Lili became more and more suspicious and felt that Zhou Qianqian must be lying to them.
If she could find evidence of Zhou Qianqian's lies...
A malicious light flashed in Qian Lili's eyes with black eyeshadow, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Then she could expose Zhou Qianqian's lies and make her infamous!
Qian Lili became even more motivated. She had come to Penglang Island just to make trouble for Zhou Qianqian and didn't want Zhou Qianqian to have a good time.
At that time, Zhou Qianqian had told the whole class in the class group that her family was rich. If she could expose this, Zhou Qianqian would become the most hated person in the class.
Just thinking about it made her happy!
