After class, during the break time, the girl who borrowed a book from Alina said to her, "you look awesome when you were reciting on the platform, Alaina!"
The girl's name was Rose. Alina heard others call her yesterday. She replied in a modest way, "really? In fact, I was very nervous at that time. I was afraid that a boy would rush at me and beat me with anger! "
Rose didn't expect Alina would talk to her. To her surprise, Alina was no longer as arrogant and disdainful as before.
"How could it be possible? Although the boys in our class like to make trouble, they will never beat girls!" Rose grinned.
Alina breathed a sigh of relief. "Really? Then I can rest assured. "
Rose's desk mate Emma, a girl with short hair, joined in the conversation happily. "Those stinky boys always make fun of us. Today is payback time!"
"Actually I wanted to do that a long time ago. I wanted to give you a dose of your own medicine," said Alina smilingly.
Rose and Emma smiled at each other, both thinking that the boys should suffer for their wrong behaviors.
The scene that Cary put a fake snake into Alina's drawer flashed through Rose's mind. She felt guilty for what she had done, so she kindly reminded, "Alaina, be careful these days. You've made a fool of Cary and Eddie, they won't let it go. They will definitely take revenge."
Alina smiled confidently, "no matter what would happen, I will face it bravely and solve it in a proper way. I am not afraid of them!"
After going to the toilet, Yana and Mandy returned and saw Alina were chatting happily with Rose and Emma. They couldn't help looking at them, wondering when they became so close.
As they were talking to each other, a paper ball flew over and hit on Alina's body.
Alina picked up the paper ball, looked up and saw several boys in the back pretended to be busy, as if they had nothing to do with the paper ball.
Rose turned to them and asked angrily, "who threw the paper ball at us?"
Of course, no one would admit it.
Emma said scornfully, "coward. You don't have the gut to admit what you have done!"
"Who is coward?! I threw the paper. So what? I didn't hit you! " Cary sit in the last row. He smirked, leaning on the back of his chair. The two front legs of the chair were off the ground. One of his feet hooked on the table, and the other one constantly touched the ground. He was swinging with the chair and seemed very slovenly.
"You have hit Alaina!"
"No, I didn't! Hey, did you see it?" Cary asked the other boys.
The boys all shook their heads and said, "no, we didn't see it."
"……" Rose and Emma stared at the boys angrily. How shameless they were!
Leo came in from the back door, took a glance at them and then went back to his seat with an indifferent expression.
The moment he sat down, the bell rang.
It was just a paper ball and didn't hurt at all. So, Alina didn't care much about it. But she was grateful for what the two girls had done for her.
"Never mind. Let's not lower ourselves to the same level with them. The teacher is here."
The two girls were a little angry, but when they heard that the teacher was coming, they had to put it aside.
Three classes in the afternoon passed so fast that the school was over soon.
After picking up her school bag slowly, Alina walked towards the school gate alone. When he walked out of the gate, she saw that Rose and Emma were walking in front of her, hand in hand.
She took a few steps forward. When she just wanted to greet them, she heard they seem to be discussing something.
"I didn't expect her to mock those boys in front of all her classmates. You don't know, I wanted to applause for her at that time!"
"I was shocked too, so I ran to talk to her impulsively. In fact, I was worried that she would ignore me."
"Was she arrogant before?"
"I don't know. She seems to be very arrogant, but today she was nice, right?"
"Maybe we are not familiar..."
Upon hearing this, Alina slowed down and tried to keep away from them.
'If she hadn't misheard, she might be the one they were talking about. If she suddenly popped out from behind, they would very likely be frightened.'
Alina stood at the bus stop calmly.
When she went back to the house of the Xu family, the others had not come back yet. After greeted the housekeeper, Alina went straight to her own room.
Perhaps she had no sense of belonging to this family, she was more willing to stay in her own bedroom.
She put down her schoolbag, took off her clothes and took a shower. After that, she put on her housecoat and sat at the desk, doing her homework.
After she finished her homework, she started to review the previous lessons and prepared for the monthly examination. All in all, she was busy.
"Miss Alaina, come down to have dinner." The Housekeeper Peter knocked on the door and said.
"Got it, coming down right away," said Alina, who was immersed in her study
She put down her pen and stretched herself. Then she glanced at the clock and found it was already past eight.
At first, Alina was worried that she was too slow, but when she got downstairs, she found that she was the first one to arrive at the table.
'Isn't it time for dinner? Where the others?'
She looked around and saw the male lead slowly coming down the stairs.
Alina gave him a smile to greet him.
Soon, wearing a silk pajamas, Wendy came, looking tired.
"Mom, are you okay?" Asked Alina with concern.
Pulling back a strand of hair to the back of her ear, Wendy sat down and said, "I'm fine. As for the thing I told you yesterday, have you prepared the gift?"
Alina smiled bitterly and thought, 'well, she has forgotten it completely.'
Seeing the expression on her daughter's face, Wendy knew that she definitely forgot it. "All right, I already knew that you wouldn't remember. I have asked Philip to prepare the gift for you. Remember to dress yourself up."
'What could she say?' Alina nodded.
Hearing the conversation, a piece of mockery flashed across Sheffield's face.
Ever since Wendy married into the Xu family, she had been keen on attending this kind of upper class banquet. She used to go there alone or with Sheffield' father. When her daughter Alaina grew up, she then took Alaina with her.
Everyone in their circle knew her wild ambition.
"Hasn't dad come back yet?" Asked Alina casually, as she saw that the dishes had been served and that Eric Xu hadn't come yet.
