Ye Shuping was shocked. She thought He Jing was the only one who came. How could she have known she would bring a group with her?

This…

“Mom, who are you talking to?”

Cheng Yi heard the commotion and got up from the bed. Her pale complexion made her look quite pitiful.

Ye Shuping turned around, her eyelids twitching. “Why are you up when you’re unwell?” Ye Shuping hurried to Cheng Yi’s side, fussing over her. “Quick, go to bed and lie down.”

“Mom!” Cheng Yi cried.

“I think it’s your classmate,” Ye Shuping said awkwardly.

Cheng Yi’s expression changed. She quickly walked to the smart cat’s eye surveillance camera and saw Shen Qiuyu throw the fruit basket on the ground. She called out to her classmates and was about to go back. She tugged Ye

Shuping’s sleeve urgently. “Mom, you have to stop them! What will they think of me if you don’t let them in? I won’t have any face to stay in Yin High School afterward!”

Cheng Yi’s anxiety was palpable to Ye Shuping. Eventually, she relented, saying, “Jingjing, have your classmates come in.”

He Jing could almost see the drastic change in Ye Shuping’s expression and nearly burst into laughter. Still, she did not refuse and said to Shen Qiuyu, “If you don’t want to go in, you can go back first. Our teacher tasked me with this assignment. I shall see it through to report Cheng Yi’s condition.”

Shen Qiuyu did not feel comfortable letting He Jing go in alone. Ye Shuping had looked like she wanted to eat He Jing up earlier when they greeted her through the intercom. “We’ll go in together,” Shen Qiuyu said, grabbing He Jing’s arm.

The other students looked at each other. Ultimately, they could not resist the ‘we’re already here’ mentality and shuffled in after their two classmates.

To make up for her mistake, Ye Shuping got one of the housekeepers to prepare snacks and drinks to welcome them. None of the refreshments were cheap. In front of He Jing and Cheng Yi’s classmates, Ye Shuping knew she could not be too mean to the former. She tried asking about He Jing’s well-being, but He Jing brushed her off, getting straight to the point. “Our teacher asked us to visit Student Cheng Yi. Is she seriously ill?”

“Thanks to you, Xiao Yi is much better now,” Ye Shuping quipped sarcastically.

He Jing was speechless.

At this moment, Cheng Yi walked out of the room. In welcoming them, Cheng Yi dressed up, doing her best to look less disheveled.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the living room was not right, she glanced at

Ye Shuping and said sweetly, “Mom.”

Only then did Ye Shuping restrain herself.

She got up from her seat on the sofa and said, “Well, I shan’t disturb you youngsters.”

Cheng Yi took the seat Ye Shuping had occupied, greeting her peers with a laugh, “Come now! There’s no need to be so reserved among friends.”

No one moved. They shared a look, numbly glancing between He Jing and Cheng Yi.

The smile on Cheng Yi’s face froze, and she turned to He Jing. He Jing responded, saying, “It’s getting late. We’ll leave as soon as we’ve found out how you are.”

He Jing’s condescension grated on Cheng Yi’s nerves, but she had no choice but to endure the insult. Appearing innocent yet aggrieved, she asked, “Is something wrong? Did Mom say something to upset you?”

Of course, He Jing did not mean to sound condescending – she merely wanted to complete her task and leave. She could not be bothered to play nice and put up with the lot if she did not need to.

“Sister He Jing,” Cheng Yi began, “you’ve lived with Mom for years. You know she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She dotes on you very much. She is just angry that you haven’t returned to see her in so long, so she was a little harsher than normal. Don’t be mad with her, okay?” He Jing almost guffawed in anger.

What was Cheng Yi playing at this time?

Was she being catty again?

Although Cheng Yi had made it sound nice, she had actually pushed all the blame on her.

Ye Shuping may not have treated her nicely, but if she were to argue with Cheng Yi, others would see her as an ungrateful wretch.

“Of course.” He Jing smiled. “I’m sure Mom must have missed me since she changed the door locks, and I could not see her. Hence, today’s visit allowed me to see her and you, Cheng Yi..”
