Not Going to Happen!
Chapter 127 – Not Going to Happen!
Ye Zhen returned to the Lu mansion, changed her clothes and went to see Old Madam Lu. She intended to tell her about today’s college exam. When the madam heard that she had four A’s, she embraced her in her arms happily.
"That’s how smart our Yao Yao is. She’s been able to get four A’s after only a few days of training!" she cheerfully exclaimed.
Beaming also with equal joy and pride for his younger sister, Lu Xiangzhi had a wide smile as he watched them, but with this elation. his sister’s victory reminded him of the displeasing treatments she received today.
"Grandma, you don’t know, Yao Yao almost got one less A today…"
After hearing Lu Xiangzhi talk about the difficulties the princess and two teachers gave her, Old Madam Lu frustratedly struck the table with her outrageously huge fan. "How dare they think that we, Lu family, are so easy to bully?!"
Quick in lightening up the mood, Ye Zhen laughed and sweetly soothed her. "Grandma, they didn’t succeed in bullying me! In fact, I won 42,000 dollars from the princess! When I get the silver, I’ll invite you to eat spicy foods at the market shops."
"Whose inviting who?" Lu Shiming and his wife came in from the outside.
"Father, mother." Ye Zhen stepped forward and gave a deep salute. "This daughter of yours won a large sum of silver today. She wants to invite her grandma to eat outside."
"Gee, Mother, look at her! After all these years of raising her, she didn’t even think about inviting us. She only cared for you." Lu Shiming said with a face of jealousy, addressing the Old Madam in a jest.
The Old Madam laughed with her heart, "Yao Yao managed to get four A’s today! This is a happy event, therefore we must gather to celebrate my dear granddaughter’s success! Perhaps, a table in the shop nearby."
Ye Zhen immediately put her arms around her. "Grandma, I want to eat their spicy noodles."
"Well, we shall have noodles then. " Old Madam Lu turned to tell her servant. "Chen Wei, please arrange a reservation for us at one of the shops in the market."
The servant bowed and left.
Pei Shi gave Ye Zhen a faintly disapproving look and turned to Old Madam Lu with a smile, "Mother, you can’t spoil this girl like this."
"But our girls are meant to be pampered." With little concern, she answered. Mentioning this, she suddenly noticed the absence of the other Lu misses.
"Why haven’t my other granddaughters come back yet?"
"My cousins seemed to have other things to do so they went with Miss Xu. I want to come back early so I didn’t wait for them." Ye Zhen uttered, mustering a look of concern on her face.
"It’s getting late, and they should be back. I will wait here for them"
"And I shall accompany my grandma." Ye Zhen grinned which made the Old Madam laugh again.
After accompanying Old Madam Lu for a long while, Ye Zhen scurried towards Pei Shi’s chamber.
"Did the princess really spite you? Is everything okay?" Pei Shi called her daughter to her room, and only then did she ask about what she heard. Because she was with the old madam, she restrained herself from spoiling the moment of joy.
