Chapter 8 Don't Be So Silly Next Time
"Thank you for what you did today." After walking out of the principal's office, Lily thanked Eric. Although he was Frank's cousin,
he saved her today. It is still necessary to express her thanks.
Eric glanced at her languidly and said, "Only you will be foolish enough to follow such a teacher."
"I..." Lily took a deep breath and said, "In short, thank you for your help today!"
"Don't be so stupid next time." Then, he took off his coat and threw it to Lily.
"You!" Lily just want to refute, a coat was covered over her head, which completely blocked her view. She pulled the coat off and
was about to lose her temper. However, she found that Eric had already gone far.
Lily could only stare at the back which had gone far and then looked at the coat in her hand. Lily didn't understand Eric at first.
When she saw her bare chest, she immediately blushed.
Without thinking too much, she directly put on his coat. She was angry at Eric's words at first, but she was grateful after this
thing.
The school is a place where there are a lot of rumors. When Lily arrived at the school in the early morning of the next day,
everyone knew that the school manager would invigilate her personally, but the version she heard was: the school manager was
very angry because Lily copied, and decided to invigilate her in person. Everyone wanted to see how she would pass the
examination.
She was not surprised at everyone's reaction at all. After the test results came out, she would see what these people would say
about it!
The exam location was decided in the meeting room of the school. The original time for the exam was from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m.,
and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., which meant that she would pass all the exams for one day.
However, what Lily did shocked everyone. She had passed all the exams this morning, and she also requested to Vivian to have
the test results this afternoon.
It was not proper for a student to make such a request to the school director, but Vivian agreed.
Before school was over in the afternoon, the examination results of all subjects came out and had been posted on the campus
board.
During the break time, the crowd gathered in front of the document column. When Lily saw what the crowd was doing, she
smiled wryly.
"How is that possible?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Lily got a higher score than the last time!"
"Better than the last time? So her grades are almost the best in the grade?"
"Wow, this is awesome!"
"Impossible, there must be deception."
"I agree with you. How could she make such rapid progress?"
There was a lot of talk, both good and bad.
"Lily, you are awesome. You are even better than the last time." Becky looked at Lily with admiration.
"It's not a big deal. You know my family, I was forced to do this." Lily replied bitterly.
Born in such a family, only if she performed well would she not be looked down. Becky sighed slightly and held her hand,
encouraging her, "Well, I understand, so I will encourage you and stay with you!"
Lily was very touched. They were best friends in the previous life. If it weren't for Frank, their friendship would last for too long.
Because the results of Lily's single test did not drop but rose, almost to the second place of the whole grade. This time it was
spread crazily in the school.
At the same time, another rumor was also spread crazily in private that the daughter of a true wife could not compete with the
daughter of a mistress.
Although no name was mentioned in the rumor, everyone knew who they were.
Although JC Middle School was a private school, it was also a private school for rich people. There were many rich ladies and
young masters who came here to study. Therefore, this matter has also been heard in the upper-society.
These two days, when Lily came home from school, she obviously felt the change of the Dillon's attitude.
In the evening, Dillon put her favorite food in her bowl. "Lily, eat more. Then you will have more energy to study."
"Thank you, father." Lily replied with a sweet smile.
"Dad is more and more optimistic about you, you can actually get such a good result." Dillon smiled happily and looked at Eden.
"Eden, you have to cheer up. Your sister's results have exceeded yours."
"Humph!" Claire snorted scornfully, "Who knows whether her grade is true or not?"
"Claire." He gave his daughter a stern look and said, "Your attitude is wrong. If you are not convinced, you can also achieve such
results for me."
"Dad, you are so mean to me..." Claire instantly cried and turned to hug Lucia. "Mom, dad only likes the daughter with good
grades, he doesn't like me, and he doesn't like brother."
"All right, all right, don't cry." Lucia comforted Claire and blamed Dillon. "Why are you so eccentric? Claire just said casually and
you cruel to her."
"I'm not biased. What she said is wrong."
"She just raised her own doubts. Is there anything wrong?"
Looking at Dillon and Lucia starting to quarrel, Lily eased them quickly. "Dad, aunt, stop arguing. My sister should really question
me. Even I am surprised by this progress."
"Lily is really sensible, you have to work hard in the future." Dillon praised.
"I will." Lily nodded and said, "I will, Dad."
"I'm full. I'll go to my room." Eden, who had been silent all this time, suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks. His eyebrows
deeply furrowed, stood up and left.
"Son." Lucia said to his back, seeing that he didn't stop at all, she turned to stare at Lily and looked at Dillon. "You can eat with
your precious daughter, we are full."
Finishing her words, she left with Claire who was sobbing.
There were only Lily and her father sitting at the table.
"Dad, I'm sorry. It's all my fault." Lily lowered her head, feeling guilty.
Dillon sighed and patted her shoulder, "You didn't do anything wrong. They are ignorant."
Hearing that, Lily smiled slightly.
*
The more Claire thought about it, the more upset she became. She felt nervous in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her father had paid
more and more attention to Lily, which was not good. And even the elder brother who has always been highly valued has been
ignored.
No, Lily can't be arrogant in this house anymore!
Having made up her mind, Claire sat up, took out her phone and dialed a number. Soon the phone was connected.
"Hello, Terence Qin. You can ask some friends to wait for me at school tomorrow. Yes, I'll tell you the details tomorrow. Good
night."
After a few words, Claire hung up the phone. There is cold light in her eyes, "Lily, you are finished tomorrow!
The next morning, as soon as Lily went downstairs, Claire came over to her and held her arm. "Sister, I'm sorry. It was my fault
last night. I shouldn't have questioned you. Don't be mad at me, okay?"
Lily was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and answered, "How could I be angry with my sister? Let's have breakfast, or
we'll be late for school."
"Well, sister, if I have some questions about learning, can I ask you?"
"Of course!" Lily answered with a smile. But she was wondering that what Claire wanted to do next.
When they walked to the table, Eden had finished eating and just got up and leave. Just at this moment, Lily just saw the dark
circle of the eye on his face. Does he stay up late to study at night?
After they finished breakfast, they got in Tom's car, but Eden wasn't in it. Claire could not help but ask, "Tom, where is my
brother?"
"Mr. Eden has gone to school." Tom replied respectfully.
"Well, let's go."
Hearing that, Lily raised her eyebrows invisibly. It seems that Eden was upset by her examination results this time.
At this moment, Lily finally knew what Claire want to do. Lily didn't expect that she would invite men to hit her, especially four
boys!
"Terence Qin, it's her. She kept bullying me. It was her who asked someone to hit me last time." Claire said angrily. She held
Terence's arm with one hand and pointed at Lily with the other.
Looking at the boy who was held by Claire, and then look at the other three boys, Lily did not know if she should laugh, but she
laughed extremely sarcastically. "Claire, is this why you drag me here?"
"Well, it's all because of you. Dad don't like me and brother anymore. My mom and dad even quarreled with each other and we
were at odds with each other. I won't rob you of anything and I won't fight against you. But you even hired someone to hit and
threaten me. I'll pay you back this time!"
"Huh." Lily didn't know what should do. Her sister was quite good at talking nonsense.
Today she should not be able to run away. This is the most remote place in the school and it is almost impossible to call for help
successfully.
"Claire, how much injury do you want her to suffer?" Glancing at Lily, Terence asked Claire casually.
"Of course, she must be seriously injured. You don't know that last time I was beaten by her and laid on the bed for a few days. I
couldn't move with injuries on my face." Claire said exaggeratedly.
"Ok." Terence nodded and turned to the other three men, "Brothers, you can hurt her now. Don't make her disabled."
"Okay, Terence." The three hooligans besieged Lily.
Look at this situation, Lily feel afraid and subconsciously shrink neck, escape? She certainly can't escape, but reasonable? It
didn't work at all to speak with people like Claire!
When Lily was thinking about how to escape, one of the gangsters sneakily attacked from behind and kicked her on her calf.
"Ah!" Lily lost her balance and fell down to the ground. Before she could get up from the ground, the fists came directly to her
face. She held her head with conditioned response and screamed for help. "Help!"
To her surprise, she heard a cry of pain before the fists landed on her body.
"Oh! Too painful... "
