Chapter 15: Scheming
The He brothers had always been obsessed with Cheng Yi. Now that they knew that she was in the Cheng family but her heart was in the He family. They would probably be moved to tears. They would also think that she was a victim who was forced to return to the Cheng family. Cheng Yi had enjoyed a good life and was a good person. Compared to He Jing, she, who had a dark history of committing suicide and did not want to go home, was simply useless.
In the end, Cheng Yi could still get what she wanted and improve her results. It was really perfect.
He Jing smiled gently, her eyes bright and dazzling. "Cheng Yo, I'll think of a way to earn money to support my family. You don't have to worry about it. You'd better sign up for a proper tutoring class. It's much more useful than relying on me."
When Cheng Yi came with her plan, she felt that even if He Jing refused, she would have at least considered it. But she did not expect her to be so straightforward. She said anxiously, "He Jing, I know you have objections to me, but please don't be willful. This is a good idea, isn't it? The He family is already so poor that they can't make a living. They don't have the money to support you to study at Yin High School. When the time comes, you might even have to drop out of school."
"Well, that's none of your concern."

He Jing had already thought of it on her way to school.
Cheng Yi didn't expect He Jing to be so stubborn. Unable to hold back, she blurted out, "He Jing, are you afraid that I will surpass you?"
He Jing blinked, and her expression became very subtle. After a while, she smiled. "Yes, you're right."
Cheng Yi was speechless.
Cheng Yi thought, "Do you think I'll believe in you?"
Cheng Yi stood in front of He Jing's table for a long time, but He Jing had no intention of changing her mind. She bit her lip and left unwillingly.
Her deskmate comforted her. "Cheng Yi, don't be too sad. He Jing is like this. She can't tolerate anyone except Yan Hanxi. Unfortunately, Yan Hanxi doesn't like her at all. If you can think of a way to get Yan Hanxi to teach you how to do the questions, that would be awesome."
Cheng Yi was new to the school and didn't know who Yan Hanxi was, but her deskmate piqued her interest when she speak so highly of him.
Her deskmate was Yan Hanxi's fangirl, and she kept talking, "Who is the most handsome in Yin High School? It is definitely my Brother Xi. He is the school's heartthrob when he enters the school, and he is a legend in exams. He skips class yet still gets first place. Yin High School is a school for the rich. Kidnapping and extortion cases happen every two or three days. But if Brother Xi steps in, the kidnappers will instead pay for the protection fee. All the female fans in A City had exploded. When the talent scout came to poach him, Brother Xi refused to leave the school."
"In short, Brother Xi is invincible. The woman that Brother Xi likes hasn't been born yet, and neither can He Jing."
Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat, and even her gaze became somewhat eager.

Moreover... There was no need for her to be anxious.
The He family was so poor that they couldn't afford He Jing's education. If she didn't accept her good intentions and couldn't earn money, she would drop out of school soon.
By then, she would still be the daughter of a rich family, while He Jing would only become an ugly duckling and gradually fade away from the masses.
He Jing was still unaware of Cheng Yi's secret intentions. She planned to earn some money as she had several siblings to support. Each of them was as thin as a bamboo pole. In the future, they would also have a lot of problems even if they had succeeded.
During the last class of the day, their class teacher said, "We'll have monthly exams next Monday. Go back and revise well. The student who ranks last in the class will be responsible for cleaning the classroom for a week. There will be a parent-teacher meeting at the end of the term, and these results will be recorded on the report card."
The whole class wailed like headless flies. Some of them did not want to rank last and clean the classroom, while others feared getting scolded for not improving their ranks after each exam. In short, everyone was in a panic.
Of course, He Jing was an exception.
