“Mom, I know what you mean.” Li Qiaomeng looked up at Auntie Zhuang and tried to persuade her, “But, Mom, Miss Ye isn’t here right now! So, can’t we just relax a little during this period of time? Even if I’m not the owner of this house, can’t you let me dream for a few days?”
Looking at her pretty daughter in front of her, Auntie Zhuang could not help but sigh. “Fine! You can be more casual when she is away! However, you must remember not to go up to the second floor. Also, the most important thing is that you must never enter Miss Ye’s alchemy room, understand?”
“I know. Mom, you are the best.” Li Qiaomeng wrapped her arms around Auntie Zhuang’s neck and acted like a spoiled child. Then, she rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, “Then, Mom, can I invite a few classmates over these days?’
“What?” Upon hearing such a request, Auntie Zhuang subconsciously refused, “No, this is definitely impossible.”
“Why not?” Li Qiaomeng hugged Auntie Zhuang’s arm and kept shaking it.
“Mom, my classmates all had invited me to their houses. However, I have
never invited them to my home. Now is the perfect opportunity. Miss Ye isn’t here, so I can invite them over. They won’t do anything.”
Initially, she did not have such thoughts. However, a few days ago, she bragged in front of her classmates that her family had bought a house in the capital and that she would be staying in the capital for the New Year. Unexpectedly, a few girls who usually did not get along with her mocked her and said that she was daydreaming. Those girls were all locals in the capital. Their families were a little rich, so they usually looked down on her for not being a local.
She invited a few classmates on impulse. The invitation had already been sent, if she could not let her classmates come inside her house this time, she would become the laughingstock of everyone in the school in the future.
“This is impossible.” Auntie Zhuang was still very insistent. “This isn’t our home. How can you turn the table and invite someone else over?! Miss Ye allowed us to spend the New Year here because she trusts us. How can we betray her trust?”
“I don’t care. Anyway, I’ve already invited them. If they are not allowed to come in, how can I face those classmates in the future?” Li Qiaomeng straightened her neck and said stiffly, “If that’s the case, then I’m afraid I won’t have the face to go to school next semester. I’ll have to drop out of school then.”
“You…” Faced with Li Qiaomeng’s threat, Auntie Zhuang choked with anger.
She did not expect her daughter to have such thoughts. However, she had to admit that she was really threatened. After all, her daughter was the first university student in their village, and she had won glory for their family. At the same time, she was also the hope of their family. They had worked so hard to support her daughter’s university education in the capital so that her daughter could find a good job after graduation and help the family.
If her daughter really dropped out of school at this time, then their hard work for so many years would go down the drain. Moreover, their family would become the laughingstock of the entire village.
“Mom, this is just a small matter.” Li Qiaomeng softened her attitude and continued, “Miss Ye won’t come back for the time being. She won’t find out.
Besides, I only invited my classmates over for a day. What impact can it have? When the time comes, you only need to help me entertain them! We promise we won’t mess up anything in the house.”
Auntie Zhuang was caught between a rock and a hard place. Finally, she raised her head and looked at Li Qiaomeng. “You have to promise me that just this once and don’t do it again.”
“Mom, I know you are the best.” Getting Auntie Zhuang’s permission, Li Qiaomeng was in a buoyant mood. She suddenly hugged Auntie Zhuang’s arm, her head leaning on Auntie Zhuang’s shoulder, saying like a spoiled child, “I guarantee, just this once.”
She began to think about how to entertain her classmates. At that time, she would let those girls who looked down on her for not being a local see that there was nothing special about being a local in the capital.
As long as she thought about how those girls were about to be embarrassed, she could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart..
