Chapter 1011 Concerns Under the Starry Sky

The ladies suppressed their laughter and nodded in agreement.

However, Xia Ling couldn't get angry because she didn't have a father or mother in the first place, and what others said was the truth. She clenched her little fingers into fists by her side, telling herself that she had to endure and not cause trouble anymore.

Pei Jingyu had ridiculed her enough, and then said: "The teacher taught us to be tolerant, and we won't make it difficult for you. How about it, you make an apology for Jingmei's tea for a semester, and forget about it."

The girl whose cup was knocked over by her was Pei Jingmei, the one her father brought a gift to Xia Ling to apologize a few days ago. Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief, this is indeed not a serious punishment, who told her to do something wrong? Pei Jingmei must be very sad that she broke such an important cup.

Compared with this, brewing tea for a semester is nothing.

So, she looked at Pei Jingmei and said, "I'm willing to make tea for you to apologize."

Pei Jingmei was very delicate. Hearing this, she reluctantly glanced at her and said, "That's the only way. You can't afford to pay for such an expensive cup. If you tell the hall brother, he will punish you. Although even No amount of tea you make can make up my cup, but there's no better way."

Pei Jingyu smiled: "It's still Jingmei's generosity, so let's do it this way."

A turmoil passed like this, ending with Xia Ling making tea for Pei Jingmei for a semester.

Xia Ling felt uncomfortable in her heart. Although she had done something wrong, it was indeed very unpleasant to be taught in such a condescending and compassionate tone. She felt bored and looked a bit sleepy, and when she returned home for dinner, she was listless and didn't talk much.

Pei Ziheng asked her, "What, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

She forced a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I can't adapt to class on the first day and I'm tired."

Pei Ziheng asked: "How are you getting along with your teachers and classmates? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

She cheered up: "They all know that I was adopted by you, so how dare they make things difficult for me? It's just that I didn't get used to the class just now, you know, I came out of an orphanage... There are many places, and I can't keep up with the progress." The words were not false, she couldn't understand a lot of technical terms that Mr. Gao spoke, and it was very difficult for her.

Pei Ziheng understood, thinking she was just tired from class.

He cut a veal steak into small pieces, dipped it into the sauce and put it on her dinner plate: "It's normal to not adapt to the class just now, and it will get better slowly. I talked to Teacher Gao I've said hello, if you don't understand anything, just ask her, although she is strict, she is still a good teacher, and she taught the two generations of the Pei family."

Xia Ling nodded, feeling relieved that she had been fooled.

In class, the whispers of the ladies still echoed in her ears - "How can such an outstanding person like her eldest cousin think so highly of her?" ][When the cousin sees her true face, he will definitely drive her out. ]

Every word touches the heart.

She didn't dare to tell him that she was bullied in class. What if he really disliked her and kicked her out? Xia Ling ate the steak in small bites, forcing a smile on her face and full of thoughts.

At night, she lay on the bed in her room, looking at the starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, unable to fall asleep. She simply got up, found the exquisite mobile phone that Pei Ziheng had given her, and dialed Xia Yu's number. Xia Yu also had a mobile phone assigned to her by Pei Ziheng, to facilitate the two sisters' contact. Soon after it rang, she was connected.

"Sister?" Xia Yu's voice sounded a little confused.

Xia Ling suddenly realized that it was already very late. "Xiaoyu, are you asleep? Did I disturb you?" Xia Ling looked at the starry sky outside the window and asked softly.

In the ward, Xia Yu frowned sleepily, looking a little impatient. However, her voice when answering the phone was gentle, with just the right amount of joy: "Why would my sister bother me? Even if I was woken up, I am still very happy to receive my sister's call."

"Really?"

"Really," Xia Yu said with a smile, "Is something wrong, sister?"

"I..." Xia Ling was thinking on the other end of the phone, her white and slender fingertips unconsciously curling the ends of her hair, "Xiao Yu, tell me, will there be a day when Brother Pei doesn't want us?"

Xia Yu was so frightened that she woke up from her drowsiness: "Why do you say that? Sister, did you make him angry?" She sat up from the hospital bed as she spoke, feeling extremely nervous. There has been some improvement, and the doctor said that surgery can be arranged after a while of recovery. Don’t let anything happen at this juncture! This damn sister wouldn't mess with such an important matter!

She cursed Xia Ling in her heart, thinking about how she could protect herself if this stupid sister really pissed off Pei Ziheng. "Tell me quickly, why did you offend him, and I will help you make suggestions!"

Xia Ling listened to her anxious and nervous voice, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. Sure enough, it was her younger sister who cared about her, sisters were connected to each other, and Xiao Yu was different from those unrelated "sisters" of the Pei family.

"Don't worry," she comforted Xia Yu. "It's nothing serious, it's just that I was bullied by others in class." She told Xia Yu everything that happened in etiquette class these days, because she had hidden the truth in her heart. There were many grievances, so I talked for a long time without realizing it.

Xia Yu listened quietly and relaxed. Fortunately, this stupid sister had a bad life. Fortunately, Brother Pei didn't do anything to her! "You must not tell Brother Pei these things," Xia Yu said to her. "If he finds out that you can't do anything well, he will definitely hate you! Sister, you should be more patient, you know."

"Yeah, I know." Xia Ling's nose felt a little sore, "I won't tell him, I'm just... just a little sad. Xiaoyu, do you think we are inferior to others since we came out of the orphanage?"

Xia Yu sneered in her heart.

Who said that those who came out of the orphanage were inferior? She lives in the hospital these days and enjoys the treatment of a young lady. Other patients in the same building are too late to envy her! Xia Yu didn't understand. With such a shadowy backstage supporter as Pei Ziheng, how could this stupid sister get herself into such a miserable situation?

Of course, she couldn't say these words directly to her sister.

She comforted Xia Ling softly: "The situation is not as bad as you think, sister. Even if they are smarter than you, better than you, and better off than you... Even if you are not as good as them in every aspect, as the saying goes Will the stupid bird fly first? As long as you work harder, you will definitely be able to make up for these gaps."
