Chapter 303 Avoiding Suspicion
Now I'm looking for help in a dejected manner...isn't that so embarrassing!
Besides, it would be useless to tell my parents. They would definitely blame me for causing trouble for them. My father might even think it was my fault and scold me again.
Then should I tell my sister? I just don’t want to tell her!
But... Hu Mengke hesitated again and again, and remembered what Li Zhuangsheng told her, that she could tell her sister if she encountered any problems.
It’s okay, I feel that my sister has changed a lot recently, she is much gentler than before... Although she has been a little weird since the car accident, it’s okay, she is my sister... My brother-in-law also said that I can look for her.
Hu Mengke waited anxiously for Hu Mengdie to finish school, and finally, the door was opened.
"Why don't you go to bed? You've been watching TV till now. You don't have school tomorrow?"
When Hu's father took Hu Mengdie home, he saw Hu Mengke sitting on the sofa with the TV on. He couldn't help but look at her coldly and scold her with a stern face.
"I have something to do with...my sister..." Hu Mengke obediently turned off the TV and stammered in front of his father.
"What's the matter?" Hu Mengdie walked forward.
"I want to talk to you alone..."
Hu Mengke muttered softly.
Hu Mengdie glanced at her father and nodded: "Okay, then come to my room."
Hu Mengke followed Hu Mengdie into the other's bedroom. Hu Mengdie put down her schoolbag and asked calmly, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I..." Hu Mengke bit her lip and spoke timidly and shamefully, "I don't get along well with my classmates..."
"What did you say?" Hu Mengdie frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand.
"I, I had a quarrel with my classmates!" Hu Mengke said a little older.
Hu Mengdie seemed a little surprised: "Why are you telling me about your quarrel with your classmates?"
Hu Mengke's face turned red, and he seemed a little anxious: "It's not a quarrel... it's just... it's that kind of relationship, just brother-in-law, the kind of relationship you mentioned before..."
"Your brother-in-law? You mean Li Zhuangsheng?" Hu Mengdie raised her eyebrows and then shook her head. "I don't know what he said, but I told you, I don't remember it anymore."
Hu Mengke's face became redder and redder. Driven by her self-esteem, she wanted to run away immediately. But she finally held back. At this point, she could only speak without caring about anything: "I, I, I was bullied by them. They all said bad things about me! I, I don't know what to do!"
Hu Mengdie squinted her eyes: "Your classmates said bad things about you? What bad things did you do?"
"I don't!"
"You didn't do anything bad, so why would your classmates say bad things about you?"
"They are..."
"Sometimes you have to look for the reasons in yourself. It's ok for you to be a little willful at home, but you still have to be more friendly when getting along with your classmates outside. Is it because you have acted in a play that you look down on others in school, so you are disliked by your classmates?"
Hu Mengke's face flushed with anxiety, and he angrily said, "No, I didn't..."
"Then why don't they bother others, but just say bad things about you?" Hu Mengdie frowned and sighed, "Look for the reasons in yourself, and think about whether you have done something wrong... I'm really tired, and I have to study until 10 o'clock every day before I can get home. Don't bother me because of such a small matter."
Being scolded by her sister, Hu Mengke pursed her lips, aggrieved and about to cry. She punched Hu Mengdie angrily: "You don't care about me at all, you are annoying! I don't want to care about you anymore!"
"I don't care about you? How could I not care about you? Your winter vacation is almost over and you haven't finished your homework yet. Who watched you finish it?" Hu Mengdie felt pain, rubbed her arm, and snorted coldly, raising her voice slightly.
"Anyway, I hate you and I won't talk to you anymore!" Hu Mengke turned around and left angrily, tears falling.
Hu Mengdie looked at Hu Mengke's back and said loudly: "You like to lose your temper so much, who can stand you? And you said I don't care about you, who do you think cares about you? Go find whoever you think cares about you!" Hu Mengke wiped his tears and said without turning his head: "Anyway, I won't find you!"
Taking a deep breath, Hu Mengdie silently lowered her head and looked at the information of the minor subject. Fortunately, she has always had the good habit of taking notes, so looking at the notes she made in the past, it is quite convenient and quick to catch up with the progress.
"So fast..." she said.
Hu Mengke strode back to her bedroom, threw herself on the bed, and cried quietly while hugging the quilt.
It’s so annoying. I hate Hu Mengdie the most!
I was so humble, but she still humiliated me... I really hate her! Go to hell, Hu Mengdie!
She sobbed, feeling wronged, sad and humiliated, and her heart was filled with grief and anger.
Anyway, no one loved her from the beginning, so she might as well die! She thought extremely in her heart.
But at this moment, a gentle smiling face suddenly emerged in her mind.
"Brother-in-law..."
The brother-in-law who would tolerate her with a smile no matter how naughty and willful she was. The brother-in-law who would never tire of explaining writing techniques to her. The brother-in-law who would bring her delicious snacks every time he visited her. The brother-in-law who would patiently listen to her complaints and talk, and treat her equally instead of just treating her as a child. The brother-in-law who would respect her opinions and ideas, and gently stroke her head...
Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law, will you help me? He said he would help me... But he is not my brother-in-law now... Is the person holding his hand today his girlfriend... Hu Mengdie is really useless! Shit Hu Mengdie is really useless!
Even the man was taken away!
It's useless! It's useless! If I were the same age as my brother-in-law, I would never let him hold hands with other women!
"Brother-in-law..."
Hu Mengke sobbed and buried her face in the quilt.
……
At 5:45 in the morning of the next day, when it was still dark, Li Zhuangsheng and his sister rode their electric scooters and hurried to school.
Since the Lantern Festival, the weather has been getting warmer day by day. Now it is March, and the lowest temperature is above zero degrees. Some people even took off their down jackets on the street.
"Have you told Hu Mengdie about Hu Mengke's matter?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"You care so much about her sister, why don't you go and talk to her yourself?" Li Xiuyu's tone was inexplicable, even with a hint of instigation.
"I didn't pay any special attention to her because I'm a great saint. I would pay some attention to a stray dog on the roadside, let alone an ordinary person."
"Why are you talking so sarcastic?"
"I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just making fun of myself."
"…I called her and told her last night!"
"How did she react?"
"What else can I do? Just say I know."
Li Zhuangsheng remained silent. Hu Mengdie said that now that she knew, she would probably take action.
"I know why you didn't tell Hu Mengdie. You know to avoid suspicion now that you have a girlfriend!" Li Xiuyu hugged Li Zhuangsheng from behind and hit his back with his head in dissatisfaction, "Don't avoid me, your sister, in the future!"
"How could that be? Even if I avoid my girlfriend, I can't avoid you." Li Zhuangsheng joked.
