Chapter 329 He's Not Bad
Ling Xiaolei's eyes became colder and colder. He guessed that it might be Xiaopang who took his money. Originally, he thought about what Li Luo and Lu Ansheng said and thought about not making a big deal out of this matter, but he didn't expect that Xiaopang was so ungrateful that he actually blew himself up.
Now, Xiaopang can’t blame anyone else.
Xiaopang's words made the students around him change their expressions, and then they whispered to each other: "I didn't expect Xiaopang to be this kind of person."
"He bullied a girl and was afraid to admit that he stole money."
When Xiaopang saw that he had become the target of public criticism, he couldn't hold it in and burst into tears: "Wow, it's not me, it's really not me!"
"You all wronged me, I want to tell the teacher!"
Xiaopang ran out crying.
Ling Xiaolei looked at the money in his hand, then looked at Erya, and then put the money in his pocket.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaomao. If it weren't for you, I would be wrongly accused now." Erya said timidly.
"This matter was not your fault in the first place. If you want to blame someone, you should blame Xiaopang himself. It is impossible for him to admit his mistake and be so malicious towards a girl."
When it was time for class, Xiaopang was brought over by Lu Ansheng.
Xiaopang burst into tears and came to Ling Xiaolei. He lowered his head towards Ling Xiaolei and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, Xiaomao. It was wrong of me to take your money. I already know that I was wrong."
Originally, Xiaopang didn't want to apologize to Ling Xiaolei. In his heart, he stole Ling Xiaolei's money because he couldn't stand Xiaomao's showing off.
Later, Erya saw that it was the money he took, and he felt a little embarrassed. When he knew that Erya was going to report him, he became anxious and came up with such a way that would harm others and not benefit himself.
When he went to complain to Lu Ansheng, Lu Ansheng said that the best way now was to apologize to Ling Xiaolei in person and prove that he was a good boy who knew how to correct his mistakes. As long as Ling Xiaolei forgave him, no one else would say anything.
Seeing that Xiaopang was sincere in admitting his mistake, Ling Xiaolei didn't want to argue with him anymore: "Alright, stop crying. I got the money back, and besides, you cry really ugly."
"Have you forgiven me, then?" Xiaopang sniffed, tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes.
Ling Xiaolei handed Xiaopang a piece of paper with disdain: "Yes, yes, I forgive you."
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Lu Ansheng let Xiao Pang sit back in his original seat.
"It is rare that Xiaopang has the courage to recognize his mistakes and to admit them in front of everyone. I hope that everyone can live in harmony in the future and prevent such things from happening again."
Gradually, although the incident of Xiaopang stealing money was over, everyone tacitly reduced their interactions with Xiaopang.
On the contrary, Ling Xiaolei's reputation among his classmates was increasing day by day. Finally, Ling Xiaolei was recommended to become the monitor of their class.
Within two days, Ling Xiaolei's composition caused a sensation in the town. It is rare that such a sincere article can resonate with everyone.
Soon, Ling Xiaolei received an invitation to the city's essay competition, hoping that Ling Xiaolei could participate and win a place.
When Lu Ansheng told Ling Xiaolei the news, Ling Xiaolei was very excited: "Does that mean that I can compete with my brother then?"
Ling Xiaolei did not forget that his brother also had to participate in a mathematics competition.
"Of course." Lu Ansheng nodded. Now, Ling Xiaolei was even more excited. He used to envy his brother for having a smart brain, but he could only watch his brother shine. But now, he can finally stand up and have confidence in front of his brother.
"Tell my brother that I'm not a waste!" Ling Xiaolei suddenly waved his fist passionately.
When Li Luo heard that Ling Xiaolei was going to participate in the essay competition, he was also very happy. He didn't expect that the two brothers would start to stand out so quickly.
Moreover, compared to how they looked when he first met them, they are now not only polite in their dealings with others, but they no longer look weak. Even if they were to learn wrestling now, many children would probably not be able to beat them.
Li Luo's life was prosperous here, but Lin Ge encountered difficulties.
Seeing that his clothes couldn't be sold, Lin Ge became anxious and blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth.
That day, Lin Ge avoided opening the shop and planned to rest at home, but was called up by Qi's mother.
"Xiao Ge, don't sleep anymore. We have distinguished guests to entertain today."
Distinguished guests? Distinguished guests had nothing to do with her. They were all there to pave the way for the Qi family. She, Lin Ge, was just an outsider.
However, Lin Ge was in front of Qi's mother, so he didn't dare to complain at all: "Okay, I get it, Mom."
He struggled to get up, dressed neatly and went downstairs, where he saw several people from the Qi family standing neatly at the door, just waiting for him to go downstairs.
Qi Nana rolled her eyes at her: "Why are you always the most slow? Didn't mom tell you before that uncle was coming to our place?"
Lin Ge curled his lips and said, “He is your great uncle, not my great uncle.”
Wait, Uncle! ?
Lin Ge suddenly became excited: "The uncle you are talking about, isn't it the one with the surname Wu? Wu Qinglin, Mr. Wu?"
"So what? Why are you so excited?" Qi Nana frowned unhappily.
"No, nothing." Lin Ge quickly controlled his expression and made himself look more dignified.
"What do you think? Sister, will I bring shame to the Qi family if I dress like this?" Lin Ge fiddled with her hair and tucked all the fine hair behind her ears.
Qi Nana looked at Lin Ge's bald forehead, which was as bald as a light bulb and covered with tiny and dense pimples. She couldn't find any nice words to praise him, but she had no choice because Lin Ge also represented the face of the Qi family.
Qi Nana resigned herself to her fate and fiddled with Lin Ge's hair to cover up her flaws, then nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at the drastically changed self in the mirror, Lin Ge couldn't help but feel excited.
"You're just going to meet your uncle, why are you so excited?" Qi Liancheng on the side was a little unhappy. He had never seen Lin Ge so keen on dressing up at other times.
"Don't you know? My uncle is from Suicheng. His business in Suicheng is second to none!" Lin Ge excitedly took Qi Liancheng's arm and said happily.
"The relationship between our family and my uncle must be taken seriously. If my clothing store can cooperate with my uncle, it would be great!"
Qi Liancheng didn't expect that Lin Ge actually had this idea, and he immediately shook off Lin Ge's arm.
"We are just catching up as a family. There is no way we can talk about work. You should just put away your frivolous thoughts."
