Chapter 288: Deep Grudge
Xie Qiao naturally knew that the Xia family was different from the Xie family.
Although she and Xia Yayun were both in Class Sun, the Xia family’s future was brighter. The foundation and connections they had accumulated over the years were not something the Xie family could compare to.
Moreover, the Xia family was born into a good family, unlike the Xie family, which was a bandit.
“I know what you’re saying. However, since Meng Jifang has already used me to stir up trouble, unless I hide at home and stay put, Xia Yayun will always find an opportunity to vent her anger on me. Instead of fighting with her and making people’s heads hurt from arguing, it’s better to do it openly… Cough… Besides, it’s a good thing to save the victims. There are also the silver beans as a reward. There’s nothing to feel wronged about,” Xie Qiao was open-minded.
Five thousand silver beans!
It would take a long time for her to earn that!
The dishes in the academy were better than those in the restaurants outside. Every month, the imperial cook from the palace would come to cook. However, those dishes were expensive. She had been reluctant to eat them. If she could earn enough silver beans…
She would set up a few tables every month to enjoy them!
Qin Liu wanted to persuade her, but after hearing what Xie Qiao said, she actually thought it made sense.
That Xia Yayun was like a dogskin plaster that stuck tightly to Xie Qiao. She could not shake her off no matter how hard she tried.
If Xie Qiao had rejected the competition, Xia Yayun would definitely stir trouble. She might even tell the world that Xie Qiao was afraid of her and had taken the initiative to admit defeat!
Thinking of this, Qin Liu was already a little upset for Xie Qiao.
“Let’s take the bet! You’re right! We’re not afraid of her. Isn’t just 50 disaster victims, isn’t it? I have friends too. Later, I’ll ask around Class A, B, C, D, and the 20 courtyards. My family is quite wealthy. I’ll buy some for you at a high price!” Qin Liu said boldly.
Xie Qiao could not help but laugh.
Qin Liu was stunned by her laugh, “Xiaoqiao, you look really nice when you smile.”
The corner of Xie Qiao’s mouth stiffened, she was speechless.
Qin Liu immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
She liked Xie Qiao. Firstly, it was because Xie Qiao was a member of the Xie family that she owed a favor from. Secondly, it was because Xie Qiao’s personality really made one comfortable.
She would not fight, but she was neither afraid nor weak. She was like a piece of jade that was warm in winter and cool in summer. One would feel comfortable just by looking at her!
Not long after Qin Liu and Xie Qiao finished talking, Old Master Lu arrived.
The old master entered the academy and took a look at Xie Qiao.
After a while, he indeed told them about the competition.
“If either of you disagree, we can let it go,” Old Master Lu added.
Xia Yayun suddenly stood up, “Xie Qiao, let’s have a fair competition!”
“We can compete, but Young Lady Xia, you and I don’t have any grudges. May I know why are you being so vicious and persistent? I wonder why you are doing this?” Xie Qiao chuckled.
Xia Yayun’s gaze tightened.
Why…
She did not have any deep grudge with Xie Qiao. At first…
She simply thought that Xie Qiao was the daughter of the Xie family, so she hated her. The Xie family had Xie Pinggang who was always teasing. She was angry on behalf of Sister Dong!
Later on…
The more she looked at her, the more she hated Xie Qiao. Especially her attitude, she pretended to be indifferent and put on an act!
Now, she was betting on this because of what happened in the East Palace!
She had never been humiliated like this in her entire life!
However, after Xie Qiao said that, Xia Yayun thought of her initial intention and felt that what she was doing now was not worth it.
However, she would not back down. She could not let Xie Qiao see her as a joke!
“Needless to say, if I lose to you this time, I will go home and never set foot in this academy again!” Xia Yayun snorted, “However… I, Xia Yayun, will not lose to you again. You want to save the victims with your pitiful appearance? I’m afraid it won’t work!”
