Chapter 185: Bad Idea
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He Jing smiled. The washing machine was just a small, pleasant surprise. In the future, the He family will have something other families have. If He Yuan’s chip research proved successful, living in a villa would not be out of the question.
Thinking of He Yuan, He Jing’s heart softened. How was this Big Brother who had always been kind to her since she became part of the He family? She had to go to school to see him when she had time.
At this moment, in the Cheng family…
In the magnificent living room, Cheng Yi hugged Ye Shuping. “Mom, I want to learn ballet.”
Ye Shuping was already used to her daughter’s whimsical ideas. Cheng Yi was unlike He Jing, who wished she could learn less. She was like a curious child who wanted to learn everything.
Ye Shuping was very pleased with Cheng Yi’s attitude. Her daughter was ambitious, so she had to support her. However, Cheng Yue, who was seated in an armchair to the side, reading the newspaper, said, “Xiao Yi, students should focus on their studies. Your grades haven’t improved. You should focus on your studies before anything else.” It was clear Cheng Yue disapproved of his daughter’s frivolity.
“Dad, do you think I don’t have talent?”
Cheng Yi seemed unable to accept her father’s cold words, and she appeared aggrieved and pitiful.
Cheng Yue coughed into his papers. “I didn’t mean anything like that.”
The art of ballet was not as easy as most people believed. It took a lot of effort and discipline to learn. If Cheng Yi wanted to do well, she would need to dedicate considerable time and energy if she hoped to do well. He was only looking out for his daughter.
Ye Shuping angrily scolded loudly, “Cheng Yue, why are you so harsh on your daughter? You’re constantly disagreeing with everything Xiao Yi wants to do. When He Jing was around, you always agreed to whatever request she made; why do you treat Xiao Yi differently by comparison? Xiao Yi is your daughter, not He Jing!”
Cheng Yue’s face turned red, not from shame but from anger.
How was he being harsh?
He was doing this for Cheng Yi’s good.
After all, Cheng Yi was not like He Jing, who was quick-witted and capable.
The physics teacher he had just hired for her taught her physics for a few days and told him that Cheng Yi’s aptitude was not good. If not for his status and the increase in lesson fees, the teacher would have given up on her as a lost cause a long time ago.
Ballet… That wasn’t easy!
Faced with his daughter’s pitiful appearance and his wife’s unreasonable demands, Cheng Yue tossed his paper aside and stood up to leave.
Cheng Yi sensed the situation rapidly deteriorating and said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I was insensible. I shouldn’t have made such an unreasonable request. I don’t want to learn anymore. I shall try my best to become as outstanding as Sister He Jing.”
Cheng Yue stopped and studied his daughter’s red-rimmed eyes, his heart melting and anger dissipating. Gently, he said, “Xiao Yi, it’s not that I don’t want you to learn new things. I’m just worried because you have an exam in a few days. I don’t want you to be upset because you don’t do well. I’ll find you the best ballet teacher money can find once you’re in university; how about that?”
Cheng Yi had no choice but to nod obediently. She seemed to be moved and choked up slightly. “Okay. Thank you, Dad.”
Cheng Yi did not like how events had unfolded.
She had heard from a servant that He Jing was not good at ballet, so she wanted to try it. Her original plan was to get He Jing to come with her and watch her make a fool out of herself. It would also show Cheng Yue that He Jing was not as good as he believed she was. Unfortunately, her plan had failed before it could even be put into motion.
At this point, she could only step back and implement plan B. When Cheng Yue patted her head, she looked up, training her doe-like eyes at her father. “Dad, Sister He Jing has been with the He family for so long. Should we invite her home to stay for a few days? You’re always worried about Sister He Jing, wondering if she’s getting enough to eat and warm clothes. Sister He Jing must miss you very much..”
