She said angrily, “At that time, I just couldn’t stand it and argued with them. I got everyone to support you in the vote. Now everyone thinks you’re competing with Xu Xiaoyu for that representative position, so…” As Hua Feifei spoke, her voice grew softer. It was an impulsive moment. She didn’t like Xu Xiaoyu and ended up saying those things without thinking. Who would have thought that it would blow up like this?
Luo Xi was speechless and twitched her mouth, “So now I’ve attracted another big hatred?”
Hua Feifei apologetically said, “I’m really sorry, Xixi. I didn’t mean it. I just can’t stand that Xu Xiaoyu. She acts like she’s the best in the whole school and tells everyone you’re just a pretty face, unworthy of being a representative. I was furious, you know? Just because she has good grades, why does she get to say that about you? I couldn’t help but retort, and now it’s turned into this. If you don’t want to, it’s fine. I can explain to everyone that it’s not your decision.”
Luo Xi shook her head: “She’s already said that, so we can’t just let it slide. We need to show her that even someone like me, who’s supposedly useless, can surpass her.”
Hua Feifei’s eyes brightened, “So you mean, you agree?”
Luo Xi nodded.
“Wow, that’s great. You have so many fans now, you’ll definitely get selected!” Hua Feifei said excitedly.
After chatting for a while, it was time for Luo Xi to gather, so the two left.
In the afternoon, Mu Qing called Luo Xi. As soon as she answered, her mother asked with concern, “Xixi, how are things going with Mr. Leng? Is your foot better?”
“It’s almost healed.” Luo Xi replied, a bit surprised. This was the first time her mother had called her since that incident.
“That’s good, that’s good. When are you free to come home for a meal? About that piece of land you told your dad about, he bought it. Soon after, they’re really going to build a school there. I also heard they’re planning to open a subway. The land now has a lot of value. Your dad is so happy. He wants me to ask you to come back and celebrate together.” Mu Qing said happily.
Hearing this, Luo Xi nodded: “Sure, I’ll ask my husband and see if we can come back.”
“Xixi, don’t tell Mr. Leng about this. I’m worried he’ll think we’re using him again since you heard about this from him.” Mu Qing said with concern.
“I understand. I won’t tell him.” Luo Xi nodded. It felt good that her mother called this time not because of Luo Yuyi.
“Make sure to come back.” Mu Qing felt satisfied and hung up quickly.
Luo Xi informed Leng Minxing that she would be going home that evening, and he agreed. In the afternoon, he had Xiao Hei drive her home.
She now wanted to know her parents’ attitude toward Luo Yuyi.
Seeing how much softer her mother’s tone was when speaking to her now, with a hint of guilt, this showed that what had happened earlier had a big impact. At least, it changed their attitude toward Luo Yuyi.
Soon they arrived at the Luo family’s gate, but just then, a girl with her face wrapped in burlap suddenly rushed over and blocked the front of the car.
Xiao Hei quickly hit the brakes and stopped.
