She simply couldn’t come up with a suitable adjective for half of the day, but from her appearance, she was genuinely infuriated by Chiang Xiao almost to the point of unwellness.
To charge five hundred for such a favor?
It was indeed unheard of!
Just as Chun Yu said, Chiang Xiao was both terrifying and shameless! At such a young age, too appalling, too appalling!
She glared at Chiang Xiao angrily, turned around in a huff, slammed the door behind her, and left a parting shot: "Chiang Xiao, a student like you, if you really get into the town middle school, will surely corrupt the school’s ethos! You’ll lead the school’s atmosphere astray! I shudder to imagine what will become of those honest, kind, and upright students after they are bullied by you! No, I must see the principal, I need to ask him to carefully consider whether he truly wants to admit you as part of the school!"
Watching her leave in a fit of rage, Ge Xiaotong was both angry and worried.
"Oh my gosh, I’ve really seen it all, how can there be such a person? Little, she’s not really going to talk to the principal, is she? What if the principal really won’t let you attend school then?"
Chiang Xiao shook her head: "Auntie, do you think the principal will listen to her?"
The principal is no fool.
With someone as brainless as Zou Xiaoling teaching in the school, the principal should be the one reflecting.
Anyway, she didn’t take the matter to heart and quickly went back to her own money-making schemes. When Chiang Songhai and the others came back, Chiang Xiao breezily recounted the encounter with Uncle Lee’s family in the county town, shocking everyone.
"You really painted a picture for Uncle Lee and sold it to him for a thousand yuan?" Ge Xiaotong thought she had heard wrong.
A picture sold for a thousand yuan!
What is the concept of a thousand yuan? Chiang Xiao completed the painting in just two days!
Chiang Xiao decided to speak out about the matter as a way to legitimatize the money she earned; otherwise, when she brought out the money later, Chiang Songhai and the others would surely keep asking about its origin.
With this occurrence as a precedent, she wouldn’t need to explain too much in the future; she would simply say that the money came from selling paintings.
Chiang Xiao nodded her head.
"Incredible! Little, you are simply too amazing!" Ge Xiaotong clapped her hands continuously, her eyes shining with excitement, and she couldn’t help but say, "No, no, is it too late for me to learn painting now?"
Chiang Xiao barely held back her laughter and said, "It’s never too late to learn, but with something like painting, it’s not just practice that makes perfect; talent is very important as well."
"You mean you have a lot of talent, right?"
"That’s exactly what I mean."
Ge Xiaotong really wanted to pounce on her: "You cheeky girl, getting too big for your boots!"
Xu Linjiang quickly held her back, with a mix of annoyance and amusement, he said, "Alright, alright, keep it down, there’s a baby on the way and you’re still causing a fuss."
"Okay," Ge Xiaotong sat up properly, blinked at Xu Linjiang, and said, "I’ll stop, you go, beat up that naughty girl for me!"
"Ay, there’s someone here who, feeling secure with a man by her side, wants to oppress the weak, to bully single dogs! Help, I can’t win against three to one!" Chiang Xiao quickly jumped up and ran away.
Xu Linjiang was also somewhat exasperated; indeed, she was a mischievous girl. Could he really bring himself to hit her?
Now, Ge Xiaotong was the one blushing; where on earth had Chiang Xiao got such a thick skin?
What’s all this about having a man?
Single dogs? Where in the world did she learn these terms!
