He Jing and He Sui got on the bus, but He Ning did not follow them. He Sui was even more puzzled. He Ning and He Zhou were not usually very close, so why would they have anything to say to each other? Whatever. It was not his business.

However, there was something that was-

“He Jing, can you make me more food in the future? It’d probably have to be a secret between us.”

He Jing glanced at He Sui, who was clinging to her like a loyal dog, and teased him, “Why don’t you let Cheng Yi cook for you?”

“Xiao Yi’s cooking will kill you.”

He Sui had spoken out of prejudice when he said He Jing’s cooking would not taste good. Cheng Yi never cooked, and the one time she tried, she nearly put the whole family in a coma. It just so happened that the day she chose to cook was their mother’s birthday. Each dish was a blow that forced them to question the origin of Cheng Yi’s ingredients.

That day, the He family looked sickly and pale, with their hands clutching their stomachs as they queued outside a small clinic for treatment. It was such a disturbing sight that passersby thought they were on drugs and nearly reported them to the police.

He Sui’s request was not much. All she needed were a few more ingredients. “How about this? I’ll make you sweet potato fritters tonight.’

He Sui rubbed his hands, tearing up as he said, “Sister, you’re so nice.”

He Jing got goosebumps from He Sui’s emotional display.

When they arrived at school, He Jing realized that Cheng Yi was still absent, so she deducted another ten points from her.

Although she did not want to cause trouble, it was not trouble she was causing if she was only performing her duties.

“Cheng Yi mustn’t be feeling well,” He Jing heard Shen Qiuyu say, “Our teacher is sending a student representative to check on her.”

“Who’s going?” Several students clamored for an answer.

“Hmph!” Shen Qiuyu snorted. “It doesn’t matter who goes so long as Sister Jing isn’t forced to. Otherwise, I’ll petition our teacher to choose someone else.”

Speak of the devil! Their teacher was at the door and called, “He Jing, I need to speak with you for a bit.” He Jing was speechless.

Shen Qiuyu had jinxed her!

No sooner had He Jing done as her teacher asked than she was informed of the matter and tasked with finding out how Cheng Yi was. He Jing would have to visit Cheng Yi at the Cheng family residence.

He Jing did not want to see Ye Shuping. She frowned and tried to decline, but her form teacher stopped her, saying, “I’ve heard about your feud with Cheng Yi. Although Cheng Yi is in the wrong, she is still a part of the Cheng family, and they have considerable influence over the school. Work hard, and the school will do its best to offer what other scholarships are available.” “Okay, thank you, teacher.” He Jing agreed readily.

How could she say no when her teacher framed things this way?

After school, He Jing dragged Shen Qiuyu along since he had volunteered to stand up for her. Wu Yu was happy to join in on the fun and tagged along with a few other kind-hearted students, bearing baskets of fruits to Cheng Yi’s house.

The Cheng family residence was locked up tight, but it was clear there were people around since the flowers and bushes had just been watered. He Jing pressed the doorbell, which was connected to a camera. “Uncle Cheng, Auntie Ye,” she called, “we heard that Cheng Yi is unwell, so we came to see her.” “Tell her to get lost!” A female voice screeched in the background.

The Cheng family’s housekeeper relayed the message as politely as possible: “Miss He, the young miss is unwell, and Madam is in a bad mood. Please come back some other day.”

The rude dismissal irked the students standing behind He Jing. Shen Qiuyu, in particular, was furious. He stomped forward and shouted, “Auntie, we came to visit Cheng Yi with good intentions. It’s alright if we’ve come at a bad time, but there shouldn’t be any need to tell us to leave so rudely! No wonder Cheng Yi’s character leaves so much to be desired. If this was her upbringing, I’m not surprised she’s turned out the way she has. Fine.. We’re leaving!”
