Chapter 96: Country Bumpkin
Cheng Ling tilted her head and saw that Lu Qi’s small villa had already been built.
It was merely a week plus.
“Miss Cheng, Young Master’s villa has already been built and only the furniture has not been purchased. Young Master Lu said…”
“What did Lu Qi say?”
“Young Master Lu said that you have good taste and would like you to help him buy the furniture.”
Lu Dong complained in his heart: Master doesn’t know how to find a good excuse to woo a girl! How does he know that she has good taste? It’s so far-fetched!
Sure enough, Cheng Ling replied, “But I don’t have any experience in this area.”
“This… I’m just a messenger. Don’t you have WeChat? Why are you guys making things difficult for me!”
Lu Dong had a bitter face.
Cheng Ling nodded. “Then I’ll WeChat him.”
“Okay, okay, okay!” After saying that, Lu Dong ran away quickly like a rabbit.
Cheng Ling shrugged and rode on her bicycle to go to school.
As she had been delayed at home with Wang Ma for a while, she didn’t want to be late to avoid attracting more attention. Thus Cheng Ling rode her bicycle at a slightly higher speed.
The closer she got to the school, the more students there were.
Cheng Ling rode the bicycle swiftly. She was very agile and light.
She easily avoided the students who were walking hand in hand in groups of twos and threes.
Her school uniform bulged with the wind, and she looked quite dashing from her back.
“Hey, the person on the bicycle is Cheng Ling, right? She and Cheng Xiao had an awkward quarrel on Friday, and Cheng Xiao was the only one left.”
“Really? As expected, she was born into a small family. When she does things, she is always so uneducated. Cheng Xiao was kind enough to give her a ride, it’s fine if she wasn’t grateful. Instead, she scolded her.”
The two girls gossiped about what happened on Friday afternoon as they were walking.
“Exactly. Cheng Xiao’s grades are so good, and she is a young lady from a big family. If Cheng Ling doesn’t learn from her, one day, she might not even be able to compete with a strand of her hair.”
The more they talked, the more excited they became. Their voices were not soft, and they attracted the attention of the people around them.
“Do you know? Last time, I saw Cheng Ling bring a bag of vegetables to class. I’ve never heard and seen this before. The reputation of our Yuya First High School is going to be smashed by this kind of person.”
“What are you gossiping about here?”
A male voice sounded behind them.
The two of them turned around and found that it was Ding Yu.
Ding Yu always wore his school uniform loosely. He held his schoolbag behind his shoulder with one hand, and the other hand was in the pocket of the school uniform. His jacket was not zipped up, and he looked like a ruffian.
His hair was dyed yellow, and he looked very eye-catching.
The two girls became even more excited when they saw that the person who was talking to them was the school’s most popular person, Ding Yu.
Now everyone in Yuya First High School knew that Ding Yu and Cheng Ling were enemies.
As the saying went, ‘the enemy of an enemy is a friend’. Therefore, the two girls thought that Ding Yu was talking to them because they were ridiculing Cheng Ling.
Therefore, they became even more serious.
“So it’s you, Young Master Ding.”
“We’re talking about that Cheng Ling who doesn’t know how to appreciate favors. It’s really hard for you to share a desk with her. This country bumpkin must make you feel awkward every day.”
Country bumpkin?
Ding Yu could only think of the scene on Saturday when Cheng Ling was sitting on the swing at the Ding family’s house.
Which part of her was country bumpkin?
The two girls continued to talk about the fight last time.
“I don’t know why the school didn’t expel Cheng Ling, but they let such a person continue to stay in Yuya. It’s really bringing shame to our school.”
“Exactly.”
The two girls talked in unison as if they were doing crosstalk. They didn’t notice Ding Yu’s face getting darker and darker.
“Can’t she learn from her sister? Cheng Xiao is the exact opposite of her.”
“Enough, don’t let me hear you gossip about her in the future.”
The two girls were shocked by Ding Yu’s sudden anger and didn’t dare to speak.
After Ding Yu finished speaking, he walked away.
He took big steps and walked quickly. Soon, he passed by a group of students who were walking slowly.
These people all knew Ding Yu. After all, he was the eldest young master of the Ding family, and he was also handsome.
His handsomeness was different from that of Gu Nan, the school hunk. The school hunk had the feeling of youth, while Ding Yu was the kind of handsome guy that belonged to the ruffians. He had a buzz cut and looked arrogant, but he had an inexplicable charm.
Ding Yu walked quickly into Yuya First High School. He looked around and found Cheng Ling locking her bicycle at the bicycle shed.
At this time, he deliberately slowed down his pace. After Cheng Ling locked the bicycle, she saw Ding Yu who was walking there slowly.
Cheng Ling walked over with her bag in one hand. Ding Yu was waiting for Cheng Ling to strike up a conversation with him. He didn’t expect Cheng Ling to walk past him as if she didn’t see him.
