Chapter 1521: Chapter 1521: Meddling
What’s with all this elite education stuff? Those strict rules of high society are so annoying. She just likes being free.
Upon seeing that Yiyi wasn’t moved, Charlotte, after all, was also a proud teenage girl, and she couldn’t be as composed as an adult.
Her thoughts were quite simple; she just found the little girl unpleasant and a hindrance to her interaction with Ling Kong. If this little girl went to study in the East, she wouldn’t so annoyingly cling to Ling Kong anymore.
"Flying to the East is only a few hours away. Do you really want to cling to your family forever and let everyone take care of you without being independent? If a child doesn’t learn to be independent, maybe it’s cute when they’re young, but no one will always like a girl who never grows up. I’m just thinking about your own good. After all, a good education is very important for a girl."
No matter how young or naive she was, Yiyi couldn’t completely miss the fact that this older girl was targeting her. Although every sentence sounded like it was for her own good, it was plainly disagreeable, and there was always the sense that there was more behind the words, which sounded very harsh.
Especially that sentence about nobody always liking a girl who doesn’t grow up; it stung her heart. What did it mean? Was she saying that people wouldn’t always love and spoil her?
Yiyi had always been hot-tempered. Thinking about how this girl was bullying her with words, she suddenly erupted, sprang up, and pointed at Charlotte’s nose.
"I’m not clinging to you, and I don’t need you to take care of or like me. Why are you meddling in my business? Who asked you to keep nagging me?"
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly froze. The few adults who had been chatting and laughing turned their surprised gazes over, feeling a bit awkward, especially Mr. and Mrs. White who exchanged glances.
Charlotte was also taken aback, not expecting the little girl to be so crude and powerless. Everyone here was from high society, and even if they were enemies, they should maintain etiquette and appear friendly. High society values refined etiquette.
But this little girl was too wild and rude, actually swearing at her in front of so many people, leaving her no face.
Of course, someone from a backward Eastern country wouldn’t have any sense of civilization.
She turned slightly aggrieved to the adults: "I’m only thinking for her good, introducing her to a good school, hoping she can receive a proper education and become an excellent lady. I didn’t expect her to get angry with me, but she is a child, so I won’t mind. Probably her family spoils her too much, and she’s not used to strict schools, fearing hardship."
Yiyi glared with wide eyes: "What does it matter to you whether I become a lady or not? I am afraid of hardship, and I like to enjoy myself. Does that bother you? You’re really annoying."
Mr. and Mrs. White looked even more embarrassed, unsure of what to do. Charlotte’s pale face turned green. This girl was relentless, yet she knew she couldn’t squabble with a child; otherwise, she would lose her elegance.
The more this little girl acted out, the more it showed her rudeness and lack of upbringing. She believed that the Ji Clan couple and Ling Kong would notice all this, leaving a bad impression, but she herself would come out on top.
"Yiyi—" Ling Kong spoke, and his voice carried a hint of reproach.
When Yiyi heard this, her face turned pale, her heart ached, and she bit her lip, feeling even more wronged. Did even Brother Ling Kong think she was wrong? Why, ever since this older girl came, had everyone stopped liking her, and her temper became short? But she didn’t want to upset everyone.
Her eyes reddened with tears, and she bowed her little head, running out in sadness.
