My Arrogant Young Lady
Page 32
People saw her yesterday and this morning, but they were still incredibly shocked when they saw An Yao. They only knew we knew each other, but they didn't know she was my younger sister. Many more who had never seen An Yao before were captivated by her beautiful appearance. Zhang Xuan had already arrived, and she was even more astonished when she saw An Yao.
"Um, this is An Yao. From now on, she'll be our classmate. I hope everyone will take good care of her and treat our new classmate well..." The homeroom teacher, introducing An Yao, seemed unusually nervous. Because she was so cold, she seemed to always carry a chill with her.
"Teacher, may I sit there?" An Yao suddenly asked, pointing at me.
"..." After hearing An Yao's words, all the students looked at me.
"..." Seeing my classmates looking at me, I couldn't help but blush again.
“No, An Yao, you’re too short. It will be very inconvenient for you to sit in the back. Besides, it will affect your grades,” the homeroom teacher said with a smile.
"Oh, so if I can get first place in the whole school, does that mean I can sit anywhere?" An Yao said coldly.
"Number one in the whole school..." Upon hearing An Yao's words, the homeroom teacher's expression changed. The expressions of all the students in the class also changed. At the same time, many people looked at Zhang Xuan, because Zhang Xuan's grades were excellent; she was number one in our class. At that moment, I, sitting in the back, sensed that Zhang Xuan's expression had also changed.
"Well, if you're number one in the whole school, of course you can... But it's good that you have that confidence. If you get number one in the whole school, I think..." The homeroom teacher was taken aback by An Yao's confidence.
"You should get first place in the whole school first!" Suddenly, Zhang Xuan, who was sitting in front, spoke up.
"Holy crap..." Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the classmates looked at her in surprise once again.
"Oh?" Standing in front, An Yao looked at Zhang Xuan. At that moment, a disdainful smile appeared on her cherry-like lips.
"An Yao, I don't believe you can get first place in the whole school!" Zhang Xuan continued, ignoring the homeroom teacher and her classmates.
"Hehe. What if I could?" An Yao smiled.
“If you can, then I, Zhang Xuan, will get out of this school!” Zhang Xuan said.
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, An Yao's smile turned disdainful again. "I don't need you to get lost. I just need you to agree to one condition. Cheap street vendor stuff, do you dare?"
At this point, everyone could feel the intense tension between the two girls. Sitting in the back, I felt utterly helpless. I thought to myself, "This is it. Zhang Xuan must be angry because An Yao insulted her yesterday, and she's here to fight back today. Ugh, Zhang Xuan is so overconfident; how could she possibly be a match for An Yao? My sister seems so mysterious. It's like everything is easy for her. Who knows, she might actually get first place in the whole school. And An Yao, she actually insulted Zhang Xuan in public, calling her a cheap knock-off. Zhang Xuan always thinks she's superior because she's rich; these words will definitely make her even angrier."
Sure enough, Zhang Xuan was trembling with anger after An Yao finished speaking. She suddenly turned around and glared at me fiercely, then pointed at An Yao angrily and said, "Teacher, you don't care that this bitch has dyed her hair white?"
“Zhang Xuan, how could you swear? I’ve already asked about An Yao’s hair color; it’s natural,” the homeroom teacher said.
"Hehe, I was born with a fashionable look. Unlike some people, the more you look at them, the more they look like cheap knockoffs." An Yao laughed.
"You bitch!" Upon hearing An Yao's words, Zhang Xuan immediately stood up. She stood in front of An Yao for a long time, then suddenly stormed out of the classroom.
After Zhang Xuan stormed off, the homeroom teacher glanced at An Yao, looking utterly helpless. Then she said to An Yao, "Alright, sit wherever you like. Go sit next to Wang Xi..."
"Thank you." With a blank expression, An Yao walked over to me in front of the whole class.
When An Yao walked over to me, the chubby girl next to me reluctantly moved to another seat. I saw the chubby girl looking disappointed and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, we'll have another chance to be deskmates."
"Wang Xi, you're really something, you don't want me anymore now that there are beautiful girls around." The chubby girl muttered as she walked away.
"Why did you two have a fight?" I asked An Yao in a low voice after she sat down next to me.
“A girl with such plain looks should be taught to be self-aware,” An Yao sneered.
"Hey, don't be like that. I know you look down on Zhang Xuan, but you should at least give me some face. Why don't you go and tell that Miss Xi'er that I don't like her, okay?" I asked.
“No, your marriage to Xi’er was arranged by Father, and no one can change it. If you want to cause our Wang family to become enemies with their family, then go and annul the engagement.” An Yao suddenly looked at me, her commanding eyes flashing with cold light.
"Is it really that serious...?" After hearing An Yao's words, I couldn't help but feel troubled.
“Yes,” An Yao said.
Seeing An Yao's resolute expression, I didn't know what to say. I thought to myself, let's put aside Xi'er for now and figure out how to resolve their relationship first. Zhang Xuan has a terrible temper, and An Yao's temper isn't much better either. If things continue like this, something bad could very well happen between them.
As I was thinking about all this, my phone suddenly rang. Looking at the message on the phone in surprise, a wry smile immediately appeared on my face.
"Brother, he brought this on himself." An Yao smiled disdainfully as we looked at his message at the same time.
Chapter Forty-Eight: Subduing the Thirteen Eagles
The message was sent by Tang Wendi. In it, he said to me, "You little brat, I heard you were pretty cocky yesterday? You wait, I'll play with you properly after school today."
After glancing at Tang Wendi's message and then at An Yao's cold smile, I couldn't help but worry for Tang Wendi.
Zhang Xuan didn't come back for the entire class period. Seeing that she wasn't there, I decided to go and find her. I wanted to try and persuade her to make up with my sister. Otherwise, the two of them are always arguing, and I'm caught in the middle, which is too difficult for me.
But before I could even leave, Lu Zhicheng and Feng Huo Lei Dian came in. After a brief interaction, I found that Feng Huo Lei Dian and Mount Everest were all good people. Perhaps because they came from prominent families and were quite accomplished, they were all somewhat arrogant. They were ruthless towards their enemies, but exceptionally kind to me and Lu Zhicheng, especially Lu Zhicheng. Although he was an ordinary person, because he was my good friend, they treated him very well and showed no disdain for him whatsoever.
Seeing them become good friends made me quite happy. I was a little anxious to find Zhang Xuan, but I couldn't leave because they were surrounding me.
Ignoring the surprised looks from my classmates, Lightning grinned and leaned on my desk, saying, "Your Highness, I've realized that your decision yesterday was truly brilliant."
"Huh? What's wrong?" I asked.
"We had a brief discussion in the WeChat group during class just now. We thought that since we're going to be staying here for a long time, it would be better to find some lackeys. The Thirteen Eagles are the biggest power here, and we can make them work for us. That Young Master Bao is their leader, so we can ask him to do anything we need. Luckily, we listened to you and didn't cripple Young Master Bao," Lightning said with a grin.
My head had been spinning, but Lightning's words made me feel a bit more alert. After thinking for a moment, I asked Lightning, "How long are we going to stay here?"
“It depends on how much you improve,” Lightning said.
"How much progress have I made?" I asked in surprise.
“Yes, because you are the heir apparent, you must excel in every aspect to be brought back to the family. Your younger siblings are all cunning, and each of them is a chosen one. If we take you back now, you will surely be devoured by them,” Hurricane smiled.
"So, how do I qualify as exceptionally outstanding?" I asked.
"Hehe, just be like our young lady. Our young lady is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but she is also the smartest among the Wang family's children. As for her academic performance, it's a piece of cake for her. In addition, she knows nine languages and can easily converse with various foreigners," Di Huo laughed.
"What?" I was deeply shocked by what Di Huo said.
“Our family has many friends and we often meet with foreign friends. Not only does the eldest daughter know nine languages, but we adopted sons also know five or six languages. After all, our family is quite famous internationally,” Hurricane smiled.
"Young Master, if you wish to inherit the family business, you must at least be fluent in nine languages, like the young lady. Furthermore, you must possess exceptional martial arts skills and outstanding academic performance. If your martial arts are not high enough, you will be easily killed by our Wang family's enemies. If your academic performance is below a bachelor's degree level, you will encounter many difficulties when you take over the family business. However, this is not your fault; our Wang family's children have been nurtured since childhood. You are quite intelligent; with further training, it should still be possible."
Hearing Hurricane's words, I couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise. I thought to myself, "My family is really big; they're even starting to interact with foreigners." But remembering the clues I'd received earlier, I quickly felt relieved. I'd heard that my parents were abroad; our family must have some influence overseas. An Yao had also told me that they came from abroad to find me.
"If my martial arts skills aren't high, I don't know foreign languages, and I'm not good at studying, will I be unable to go home?" After thinking for a while, I asked them.
"This..." After hearing what I said, their expressions became troubled.
“Yes, if you’re not good enough, you can’t go home. And you’ll never see your parents again,” An Yao said.
Hearing An Yao's words, I felt a chill run down my spine. After thinking for a moment, I asked her, "So, when do we start learning? Should I study the curriculum first, or learn martial arts first?"
"Let's learn a foreign language first," An Yao said.
"Learning a foreign language?" I asked.
“Yes, you need to learn these four languages first: English, Thai, Burmese, and Lao,” An Yao said.
"Why?" I asked.
“You don’t need to know that. You just need to learn,” An Yao said.
"Oh……"
Just then, the school bell rang. After a few more hurried words with me, Feng Huo Lei Dian and Lu Zhicheng left. I then saw Zhang Xuan; she seemed to have calmed down. However, upon seeing An Yao and me, she still glared at us fiercely.
"Little sister, when will I start learning a foreign language?" I asked her softly after thinking for a moment.
"Tonight," An Yao said.
Hearing An Yao's words, I couldn't help but nod slightly. Suddenly, I remembered the bet Zhang Xuan had made with her. I became even more worried about Zhang Xuan. Thinking of An Yao's confident demeanor and the praise Feng Huo Lei Dian and the others had given her, I believed that An Yao getting first place in the entire school would be absolutely no problem.
If An Yao really does get the top score in the whole school, Zhang Xuan will have lost the bet. So, will An Yao use this opportunity to trick her?
Thinking of this, I secretly sent Zhang Xuan a message: "Don't be angry with An Yao, she's my sister. And don't make any more bets with her. You're no match for her."
"Get lost!" Zhang Xuan only replied with one word.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's reply made me a little annoyed. I thought to myself, why did she have to scold me for no reason? I didn't do anything to her. But Zhang Xuan must not be angry with me anymore, otherwise she wouldn't have replied. Sigh. I'll try to talk to her after class.
I was thinking of talking to her after class, but I still didn't have time. Lu Zhicheng, Feng Huo Lei Dian, and Zhu Mu Lang Ma all arrived, and we continued our previous topic, talking a little further.
Lu Zhicheng and Feng Huo Lei Dian's idea was to capture the Thirteen Eagles and use them for our own purposes. That way, they wouldn't have to personally intervene if there were any trouble in the future. Feng Huo Lei Dian also told me that they had an easy time dealing with those thugs yesterday, but it wouldn't be so easy if they encountered some gangs outside the school. After all, we are outnumbered, and it's more disadvantageous to encounter a large group. If we really offend a big gang outside the school, we wouldn't be a match for them if they sent hundreds of people.
Even if they know kung fu, it's still difficult to deal with a group of people. Especially some of the gangs outside the school are ruthless, far more so than the school thugs like Thirteen Eagles. Thirteen Eagles are just a disorganized bunch. They're too scared to fight when they see how tough the other side is. But the real thugs outside the school will only fight harder when they see blood.
"If you encounter thugs from outside the school, are you confident you can take on a few?" I asked.
"It's hard to say. If I fight them one by one, I could take on hundreds without a problem. But if a large group of people come at me together, and they're armed, even the patriarch would have to run," Lightning said helplessly.
“Alright, then we’ll subdue the Thirteen Eagles. But you all have to listen to me,” I said after thinking for a moment.
“Okay.” An Yao’s eyes lit up.
I didn't have a chance to talk to Zhang Xuan all morning, and I felt a little depressed when I saw her leave at noon. Instead of going home, I went to the school cafeteria with An Yao and the others.
Just then, my phone rang again. It was Tang Wendi. He seemed to have arranged for someone to wait for me outside the school. "You little brat, are you too scared to come out? If you're too scared, we'll be coming in soon."
"That kid's showing off again?" After glancing at my message, Di Huo suddenly became furious.
"Ignore him, let's talk about our important business," I said.
"Alright, I'll do as Your Highness says." Di Huo nodded.
After hanging up the phone, I frowned and thought for a while before asking An Yao, "Little sister, do you think our Wang family has any enemies in this city?"
“Yes, and many. Once your identity as the heir apparent is revealed, I believe a large force will come to arrest you within three days. Moreover, when we came out, we already aroused the suspicion of several other illegitimate sons of the Wang family. They are all very clever; if they guess that we came to find you, I believe they will come to find you themselves,” An Yao said.
"Well, so no matter what, my identity is dangerous?" I took a deep breath, thinking of my uncle's pale face back then.
“Yes, and some of them are very powerful; they might not even be a match for us,” An Yao said.
“Alright, then let’s subdue the Thirteen Eagles first. That way, if anyone tries to harm me, we’ll have more people to protect us,” I said.
As I was speaking, my phone beeped again. It was Tang Wendi again, texting me, "You little brat, you still don't dare come out, huh? Fine, then we'll go in and kill you!"
I ignored Tang Wendi's message. Instead, I looked at Lu Zhicheng and asked, "Has Young Master Bao arrived?"
“We’re here,” Lu Zhicheng said.
“Okay, go and call him to the four hall masters’ dormitories. I’ll wait for him there,” I said.
Chapter 49 Even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake
Feng Huo Lei Dian and Zhu Mu Lang Ma shared a six-person dormitory room, with five of them sharing six beds. Because it was midday and the dorms were quite messy, and Zhu Mu Lang Ma was rather tall, the dorm supervisor didn't notice him blocking An Yao's view. An Yao remained calm, walking into the room with remarkable ease. It was as if this was her home, a place she could come and go as she pleased.
Upon entering their dormitory, I found it to be exceptionally clean. Not only was it cleaner than a typical boys' dormitory, but even the windows were spotless.
After sitting in the dormitory for about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. Pushing open the door, Young Master Bao led Chen Xun and a few thugs in, looking quite nervous.
Upon seeing us, Young Master Bao quickly pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to us, saying, "Brothers, I heard you're living in the dorms. I just realized that. I haven't taken good care of you..."
"Who wants your cigarettes? Take them away!" Lightning said, glancing at him dismissively.
