[ON HOLD] (1)The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy

157-159

“But you… You got locked up for a night and almost got punished by the school. Look at her now…”

Sun Huihui scoffed. “She’s in the spotlight now! First place in the city! Even the school looks at her differently now! They know Ning Li locked me up in the janitor’s room, yet I’m the one who is suffering, while she continues to roam free!”

She felt aggrieved and was rather unwilling to let this matter go. She was angry and frustrated but there was nothing else she could do.

“The girl with the good score is always right. The school is just going to cover it up for her. What can I do?” she said.

The girl sighed. “I know, right? She tried to push someone down the rail, yet the school pretends that nothing happened. She’s a scary one. I heard that she’s giving a speech at the assembly next Monday.”

Sun Huihui made a noise as if she was retching. “Her? Giving a speech under the flag?”

“Forget about it. It’s just not your day.”

Sun Huihui clenched her teeth. She had been fine before her friend mentioned Ning Li but now, she was all riled up.

It was because of this that she had almost been punished by the school and had been scolded by her mother at home.

She even lost her status in the class. It was torturous, especially for a girl like her.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “Oh right, Lil Xuan, I remember you know some guys outside of school, right?”

The girl known as Lil Xuan said, “Yeah, what’s up?”

Some thoughts later, Sun Huihui said, “Can you do me a favor?”

The two of them talked for a while before leaving the toilet.

The toilet was peaceful again. After a while, Ning Li came out.

She looked at her phone.

“Those girls can really talk…”

She raised a brow and went back to class.

…

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

At night, Ning Li received a call from Ji Shu after dinner.

She went to a quiet corner and answered the phone.

Before she could say a word, Ji Shu’s excitement surprised her.

“Sister Lili, I’ve finally signed with LY! The contract is sealed!”

He had been busy verifying the contract and negotiating the terms with LY for the past few days. He had also gotten a lawyer to oversee things and make sure things were progressing legally.

Even though he was generally an unbridled person and disliked being chained down, he was thorough when he was serious, hence the delay in the signing.

Ning Li chuckled. “Really? Congratulations.”

Even through the phone, she could feel Ji Shu’s overflowing excitement.

It was his dream and he had realized it.

Ji Shu happily talked to Ning Li about a few things.

Ning Li listened and then asked, “Do your parents know about this?”

Ji Shu shrugged. “They know but they lost the bidding for a project today, so they are not feeling too happy right now.”

His parents disliked him racing but he liked it. Since they were unable to convince him otherwise, they had compromised.
