1754 Let Your Sister Come to School

After the two of them finished eating, Qiao Mei made a separate meal for Xia Fang and set the dishes on the table. She covered every dish with a plate to prevent it from getting cold too quickly. It was also because she did not want Xu Jiao to see the food. She did not want Xu Jiao to have a chance to eat Xia Fang's lunch secretly.

Xu Jiao wolfed down the food which Qiao Mei made. As she ate, she said indistinctly, "I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so good. The food is quite delicious. It seems that my cousin has quite a good eye."

After Qiao Mei finished eating, she leaned against the table and looked at Xu Jiao. She suddenly felt that Xu Jiao was not a bad kid by nature, but only behaved as unruly and willful as her mother sometimes. Family really played a big part in a child's life. If Xu Jiao had been born into the Xia family, then she might have turned out like Xia He. Suddenly, Qiao Mei remembered the thin girl who stood behind Xu Ju.

"Why isn't your sister at Sixth High? Why haven't I seen her today?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"Her? She's not studying anymore. My mother found a job for her and she has already started work," Xu Jiao said nonchalantly.

"Why isn't she studying anymore? I remembered from the last time that she was doing fine?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Because I'm not studying there anymore. She only went to school to accompany me. Since I'm not in that school anymore, there's no reason for her to continue studying," Xu Jiao explained.

Qiao Mei sat on the sofa quietly. That time, Xu Ju had clearly agreed to let Xu Man continue with her studies. If she did not make a bet with Xu Ju and ask her to let Xu Jiao come to Sixth High, Xu Man might have been able to get into a very good university and get away from the toxic Xu family.

She must think of a way to let Xu Man study at Sixth High as well, but how?

After thinking for a long time, Qiao Mei looked at Xu Jiao. She stared straight at Xu Jiao, making Xu Jiao look back at her in fear, asking, "What… what do you want? Why are you looking at me like this? Don't tell me you want to eat me alive!"

"What's the use of eating you? Are you some kind of treasure? Can I live forever after eating you?" Qiao Mei rolled her eyes in disdain.

Xu Jiao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then why are you looking at me?"

"Go home and tell your mother that you don't have any friends in school and that you want Xu Man to come to Sixth High with you," Qiao Mei said.

"Why! It wasn't easy for me to shake off that annoying girl! Why do you want me to bring her here! I don't agree! It's useless even if you threaten me!" Xu Jiao said angrily.

If she did very badly in the entrance examination this time, she could lie to Xu Ju that it was too difficult. However, if Xu Man came to study here, Xu Man's results would be thousands of times better than hers. If so, she would not be able to explain herself to Xu Ju when she went home. She might even be beaten to death by Xu Ju!

Previously, at the school near her house, she was always very lax when it came to examinations. Xu Jiao had always asked Xu Man to give her the answers. During every examination, she would ask for permission to go to the toilet where Xu Man would be waiting obediently for her. After getting the answers, Xu Jiao would go back to the classroom promptly. They did that for more than a year without getting caught.

However, Sixth High was different from that school. From the way today's examination was conducted, it was clear that the school was very strict and it was impossible for students to cheat.

"If you can get Xu Man to study at Sixth High, you can follow me around during lunch break in the future. I'll also cook meat and vegetables for you every day. I'll make you whatever you want, no matter how many dishes you want," Qiao Mei said.

In any case, she had to eat lunch every day and also needed to eat more meat. It was not an issue for her to make more while she was at it. She would just treat it as feeding a dog.

"Really?" Xu Jiao asked as she looked at Qiao Mei expectantly.

Although Xu Ju looked well-to-do on the surface, she did not have much money. The food they ate at home was either potatoes or sweet potatoes and there was no meat at all. If Xu Jiao protested, she would be beaten up. This had always been how their family lived. Even during the new year, they did not have meat to eat.

"Yes, really. I always do as I say. The premise is that you go home and tell your mother that you want Xu Man to study here," Qiao Mei said.

After an intense internal struggle, Xu Jiao decided to say yes to Qiao Mei.
