By the time she woke up , it was almost time for dinner . She quickly freshened up and went down for dinner .
Father Mu was discussing some things with elder Mu.
"Good evening great grandfather, how was your trip " she asked because father said he had gone on a trip .
"It was fine dear , I got something for you . " He reached into his pocket and gave her a bangle . It made of wooden square beads and a wool line . The were inscriptions on beads . It gave a rustic feel .
"Thank you great grandfather. Its really nice "
She would be happy with any gift even if it was a stick . It was the thought that count .
Elder Mu saw that her thanks were genuine and smiled .' Such a sweet child 'he thought.
She even attracted attention from people from the two most benevolent families in the country . He felt sad for her for the way Hong Wenna treated her . He wished he could do something greater for her than just giving her a bracelet .
Soon everyone gathered and ate dinner.
Tonight there was no chit chat and everyone ate and went to their rooms . Everyone was at peace and had put what happened today at the back of their mind well except, Mother Mu and Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was still worried. The secret of Xiner must never get out . She knew the Mu family valued two things in the family , blood and connections.
They agreed to take in Xinyan because of blood now they valued her even more because of connections . Her Xiner had no strong connections with any affluent families. Xiner even told her that she didn't get along well with people from affluent families and got along with kids from the middle class.
If the secret got out she would be ruined.
Yinan might have spilled it today out of anger to save Xinyan.
Mu Yinan came out of the closet and saw her expression and immediately knew why .
"Yue I would never tell anyone about Xiner. She is my daughter and I would never do something like that to my daughter "he said as he patted her head .
She must given her life to save the world in her past life to have gotten Mu Yinan as her husband . She would do anything for him .
...
The next day .
Breakfast Time.
"Today you won't go to school go back upstairs " Mother Mu said as Xinyan was still eating breakfast .
"May I ask why ?" Father Mu said .
"Because I don't want her seducing any more young boys from affluent families" she said proudly .
No one said anything to her treating her as air .
"I will only let you go on one condition" she blocked the door .
"Alright then Mrs Mu , state you condition " Xinyan said with cold eyes . She didn't take this woman as her grandmother anymore.
"At lunchtime Xiner will sit with you and you'll introduce her to Young master Lu and Young miss Jiayi and then stop being friends with them . You must break all ties with them. Xiner is your younger sister so all good things should go to her and not you . If you agree you can go to school , if you don't you'll stay here and stop going to school "
"You're joking " Xinyan said coldly and pushed Mother Mu's arms away then walked away not sparing her a last look .
"grandmother I like have my own friends and don't need jiejie's friends thankyou and stop bullying jiejie . She's very nice " Xiner said then followed her sister .
Xia just looked and left .
At school .
"Yanyan it'll soon be time for the test . are you ready ?" Jiayi asked .
"No I'm actually nervous "
"why?"
"I haven't taken a public test or exam ever in my life as I was homeschooled and there was never any competition so I don't how I'll fare "
"relax as long as you studied you'll do well " she said comforting her .
"You're the best yiyi " she said .
"I know if I am very wise " she said praising herself
Lu Song came into the class and frowned .
Why didn't his Yanyan not praise him like that ?
He came and sat on his seat .
Everyone was busy doing some last minute studying.
Xuleo entered the class and was already surrounded by all her friends .
"Xuleo is so smart . She doesn't have to worry about her grades "
"Yes I want to be like Xuleo which is why I studied so hard without sleeping last night . "
"Xuleo tell me your secret how do you study in such a way you always beat everyone. " a girl asked
"Its all about who you study with . I studied with bro Song yesterday and his studious nature affected me so I also became studious so if you study with an unstudious person you'll also be affected . " she said with a self righteous expression.
"I think Xuleo will be the best in class as usual " everyone nodded . It was silly .
Jiayi was surprised at what they were saying . They look down on theirselves because of she was from a very good family . Didn't they want to compete ? the answer was yes. They were trying but they couldn't tell Xuleo that .
Soon the teacher came in and it was time for the test and everyone switched seats as the teacher instructed.
They would have two papers today .
Chemistry and Politics . One before break and one after . School would close by 3pm instead of 5pm .
