Chapter 521: Grief
The butler carried Yan Nuo’s luggage into the car.
Yan Nuo got into the car and left the manor without looking back. Ji Yinbing watched as their car disappeared at the entrance of the manor. She took a deep breath and told herself that she had to study hard and become successful so that she could earn more money to repay her master!
A faint smile of encouragement appeared on the ten-year-old girl’s face.
The sun was already high when the car arrived at the airport.
Yan Nuo took out his sunglasses from his bag and put them on. When Yan Yu saw them, he suddenly said, “This is not the one Samit gave you.” When Yan Nuo opened the gifts, Yan Yu was watching from the side. She remembered that the sunglasses Samit gave had a titanium frame.
The sunglasses on Yan Nuo’s face had an ordinary black frame.
Yan Nuo nodded and said, “The little girl gave it to me.”
The little girl was Ji Yinbing.
She said, “Since she’s so good to you, why don’t you just call her your little wife?”
Yan Nuo remained silent.
Clearly, he thought the topic was lame.
Yan Yu left Yan Nuo at the airport. Without waiting for him to board the plane, she turned around and returned to the manor.
Yan Nuo went to America to study, and Ji Yinbing also entered junior high.
The advancement was a hurdle. This hurdle did not refer to how difficult studying was but other aspects. When Ji Yinbing was in the third grade, there were more than ten girls in the classes of more than 60 people. After that, in the fourth grade, there were only ten girls. In the fifth grade, there were only six.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter she entered middle school, all her classmates changed. The entire school was filled with boys. Girls who could study in middle school were either children with good family backgrounds or commoners whose parents hoped their daughter would become a Phoenix.
As for those ordinary families, they all chose to let their daughters not study and send their sons to school.
Ji Yinbing’s class still had more than ten female students, but she only found four or five of the girls she was familiar with in primary school! When they were in primary school, there were five classes. When they graduated in the fifth grade, there were 23 girls.
But now, only four or five girls were continuing to study!
Where did the others go?
They either dropped out of school to work with their parents or… were married.
It was unbelievable that these children were already at the age of marriage. Usually, when they were just 14 years old, they would marry the man their parents had chosen for them. Ji Yinbing sat in the crowded classroom and the boys from the upper-class were teasing the girls around her. She was thinking about something in a daze.
If she did not meet Yan Nuo, she would not even have the chance to go to school.
If she had not met Yan Nuo, perhaps she would have been molested by Ah Han countless times. In less than four years, she would have married Ah Han and lived a miserable life like her mother.
Everything was because of Yan Nuo.
He gave her a new life.
Ji Yinbing thought of what Yan Nuo had said before he left.
Study well and don’t disappoint him.
Ji Yinbing calmed down and was obsessed with studying. She maintained her proud results and completed her first year of school. In the second year of middle school, Ji Yinbing realized that there were fewer girls in school. She was already used to this change.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, a girl called Minna squeezed into the top ten students.
She was ranked third, and one of the only two girls in the top ten.
Ji Yinbing knew that this girl was from the class next door. She looked ordinary, but she was especially ambitious. Her results when she entered middle school were not good, only above average. This time, she suddenly entered the top three and caused a sensation.
Of course, although this commotion was not as intense as Ji Yinbing’s third year in primary school when she got first place with full marks, it still made many people angry.
“She cheated!”
“Her results were very bad previously!”
“I know her. Her mother is a fool. How can a fool’s daughter get into the top three!”
Countless ugly faces aimed their sharp mouths at the girl called Minna.
This scene was similar.
Ji Yinbing listened to them talk about that girl and did not participate.
At the request of all the students except Ji Yinbing, Minna’s desk was also moved to the field.
Just like Ji Yinbing, this girl would also suffer the same experience as Ji Yinbing.
Ji Yinbing also went to watch the battle. She stood on the stands and realized that the girl was sitting there, her hand holding the pen trembling. She was not Ji Yinbing, and she did not have as strong a mental fortitude as Ji Yinbing. She would be afraid of the teacher’s distrust, the students’ suspicion, and the unfamiliar and disdainful gazes.
Ji Yinbing suddenly walked down from the stands and walked to the girl’s side. She held up a pink umbrella for her.
The sudden shade stunned the girl.
She looked up and saw Ji Yinbing, smiling sarcastically. She asked Ji Yinbing, “Aren’t you afraid of being hated by everyone when you come out to help me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJi Yinbing said, “There was once someone who stood up for me like this.”
Minna said, “Then you’re lucky.”
At this moment, someone in the stands was dissatisfied.
“The first place of the cohort is holding an umbrella for the third place of the cohort. Who knows if they’re talking to each other!”
“This is unfair. That Bing… She can’t hold the umbrella for Minna!”
“Teacher, we request for that Bing to leave.”
Ji Yinbing was not Yan Nuo. She had no power or status, and she was quickly invited off the stage by the teacher.
Ji Yinbing stood helplessly at the side. She saw sweat sliding down Minna’s face. She saw Minna shake her head and see the scorching sun. The girl suddenly fell to the ground.
The girl was sent to the infirmary. Her papers were reexamined. The results were both expected and unexpected.
She was deemed to have cheated because she did not finish her paper…
After knowing this result, Ji Yinbing felt angry and upset, but more than that, she was unwilling to give in! If Minna was a boy or if Minna was a higher race, then her performance in the final exams would be praised and admired.
Ji Yinbing belonged to the Dalit in the Indian caste system, while Minna belonged to the Shudra. Her status was slightly better than a Datlit’s, but they were still people who were not protected by law, politics, and religion. They were people who suffered from low status.
Hence, if Minna did well, she would be doubted and slandered.
The school thought that Minna had cheated, and Minna received a lot of disdain. The second semester started, and Minna started to be bullied. She was forced to wear a blue school uniform. A blue school uniform. It was a school uniform that only people from the Dalit should wear.
No matter how good Ji Yinbing’s results were, she was still wearing a blue school uniform.
The students of higher statuses wore white school uniforms.
Regardless of whether they knew her or not, when they saw Minna, they would scold her. Some of them even splashed milk on her..
