Bai Ning's slender fingers that were playing with her mobile phone paused. She slowly raised her head, and her cold face was hidden in the dim car. Her eyes were a little sharp as she replied indifferently, "Yes."
Bai Yiyi's eyes flickered. At this time, Bai Ning looked like a ruffian, and her disinterested gaze was a little seductive. She was not easy to deal with, but people couldn't help but want to get close to her. She was just like a succubus.
Recollecting her thoughts, Bai Yiyi forced out a smile and said, "My mom said that when you left my grandma's house, you had already received the transfer papers."
She deliberately added "my" in front of mother and grandmother, as if to declare her sovereignty.
Bai Ning raised her eyebrows and chuckled. She just looked at her and did not answer.
Bai Yiyi, however, felt a chill run down her back. She quickly averted her gaze and stopped looking at her. There was a hint of embarrassment in her voice as she guiltily said, "Ningning, have you chosen your school? Do you need my dad's help? I heard from my mom that your previous grades weren't too ..."
"Thank you, but it's fine. I've already made my choice." Bai Ning interrupted her and continued to play with her phone indifferently.
Bai Yiyi was stunned, and the word "okay " was stuck in her throat.
After a while, she asked again with a fake smile, "Ningning, which school did you choose?"
Bai Ze, who was driving, looked at Bai Ning in curiosity through the rearview mirror.
Because of his work, he was not often at home, but even so, he knew that his parents had been worried about Bai Ning's transfer.
He had heard that this sister's grades were quite bad, so her parents didn't want her to go to an ordinary school. However, if she got into a key high school through their connections, they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up with the others and feel inferior.
In the end, even after much consideration, they had not decided which school she should transfer to.
Bai Ze looked at his sister's expression. She didn't seem to be joking. Had she really decided on a school?
At this time, Bai Ning lazily changed her posture, crossed her legs, and casually said, "First Middle School,"
Hearing this, Bai Yiyi's expression was complicated. She asked, "First Middle School? The top middle school in the city?"
"Yes," Bai Ning replied calmly.
When Bai Yiyi heard Bai Ning's answer, it was as if she had heard a great joke. Her level was more equivalent to the eighth-ranked school, but she had actually chosen the top school?
It was a key high school in the province, the best high school in S city, and ranked top ten in the country. Bai Ning had spent a lot of money to get into a key high school in the county, and now she wanted to transfer to municipal First Middle School through her connections. What a whimsical village girl.
"Ningning, it's not easy to get into First Middle School." Bai Yiyi said with a smile.
Her words were brilliant. She seemed worried, but in truth, she was mocking and showing off.
Bai Yiyi couldn't be blamed for her disbelief. Even Bai Ze, who was driving, felt that this biological sister of his was a little unrealistic and could even be said to be bragging.
"There's no rush to choose a school," he said quickly to smooth things over. "We'll decide after discussing it with our parents."
Bai Yiyi knew that Bai Ze was speaking up for Bai Ning and felt a little upset, but she didn't continue to discuss this issue. She said sensibly, "Ningning, you don't have to worry too much about the school. My dad knows a few headmasters. If you need help, just let him know."
"Alright," he said. Bai Ning replied. She put down her phone, leaned against the window, and rested her chin on her hand. Her eyes drifted to the scenery outside the car.
The night in the city was different from that in the countryside. Even though it was late at night, it was still lively and bustling.
…
After a while, the car slowed down and drove into an old community. There were no high-rise buildings here, only multi-story ones. The Bai family lived in a duplex on the top floor.
The Bai family's husband and wife had long opened their doors to watch the movements of the elevator. When they heard the elevator's "ding", the two were both nervous and excited. They quickly stood up and looked at the door.
The elevator door opened, and Bai Ze appeared in their field of vision while dragging a suitcase, followed by Bai Yiyi, and then Bai Ning.
"Mom, Dad, Big Brother and I brought Ningning home!" Bai Yiyi's smile was bright as she sweetly called out for her parents.
"Okay..." Mother Bai replied uninterestedly. All her attention was on Bai Ning, and she walked over nervously.
The smile on Bai Yiyi's face froze as she was once again ignored.
She was the youngest child in the family and also the only daughter. All these years, her adoptive parents had doted on her very much, but now, it was all going to be snatched away by this wild girl from the countryside.
However, she couldn't show her dissatisfaction in front of everyone. She could only suppress her emotions and continue to smile.
