I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck
Chapter 21
Mingxi put her hands in the pockets of her school uniform and was about to enter the classroom when someone suddenly called out to her.
"Mingxi."
Zhao Yuan was holding a stack of printed materials. Her eyes were red and filled with worry as she walked towards Mingxi.
Mingxi turned her head and glanced at her. When she saw that it was her, she didn't even want to greet her and turned to walk into the classroom.
She had worked so hard to accumulate this little bit of luck from running errands. She didn't want it to be crushed by Zhao Yuan's halo the moment she met her!
"Wait, I have something to say to you." Zhao Yuan hurriedly trotted over and stood in front of her.
Mingxi glanced at her potted plant. When Zhao Yuan came closer, the small buds in the potted plant clearly swayed and stopped growing.
Mingxi couldn't be polite anymore. She frowned and said, "I have nothing to say to you."
Some people in the corridor looked over.
Zhao Yuan bit her lip, as if she was a little afraid of Mingxi. She mustered up her courage and said, "I just, I just want to apologize to you on behalf of E Xiaoxia …"
A beautiful person with a kind heart.
This phrase suddenly appeared in the minds of the boys in the corridor.
This matter clearly had nothing to do with Zhao Yuan. E Xiaoxia even wanted to drag her down. However, she cared more about Zhao Mingxi's feelings and immediately came over to apologize.
Mingxi, however, wasn't listening to what Zhao Yuan was saying.
Zhao Yuan wasn't wearing her school uniform. She was wearing the most popular dark blue sailor skirt, white socks, and coffee-colored leather shoes.
Her long hair was tucked behind her ears with a hair band. There was a blue checkered bow on the left side of her hair.
She looked neat, generous, weak, and fragile.
In short, there were many beautiful adjectives.
Mingxi was tall and slender, half a head taller than her. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her gaze just happened to fall on the blue checkered bow on the top of her hair.
Mingxi stared fixedly at the bow. It was hard for her not to recall some things that had happened in the past.
Two years ago, when she first came to the Zhao Family, she dragged her luggage, which was packed in a rattan bag by her grandmother.
After Zhao Zhanhuai brought her into the Zhao Family, everyone in the family, except for Zhao Mo, was kind to her. She was full of expectations and looked forward to starting a new life.
Mother Zhao took her hand and asked her to take a shower and change her clothes first.
However, when she came out, she found that the old clothes she brought and her grandmother's rattan bag had been thrown into the trash can outside the villa. Mother Zhao said that she had suffered a lot in the past and wanted to take her to buy new ones.
Mingxi refuted in a low voice. It was left to her by her grandmother.
Mother Zhao was not very happy and said to her, "You have to adapt to the new environment here."
At that time, the fifteen-year-old Mingxi was very nervous. She really wanted to pick up the things that her grandmother gave her, but she was afraid that it would appear very pretentious and troublesome, which would make the family unhappy.
Therefore, she ate absent-mindedly and did not eat much. She planned to wait for Mother Zhao to go upstairs and then go outside to get it back.
However, she did not expect that when she went outside to look for it after dark, the garbage truck had already taken the things away.
At that time, Mingxi was sad for several days.
Only then did she realize that the environment here was not something that she could easily adapt to just by changing her clothes and putting on small leather shoes like Zhao Yuan.
In the northern town where she had grown up for fifteen years, the neighbors usually greeted each other and helped to take the garbage to the dump early the next morning.
But here, the nanny would clean up the garbage at any time and place.
She might have to put in more effort to fit in.
After realizing this, Mingxi worked even harder, just as hard as she had studied for the past fifteen years.
She began to observe the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the Zhao Family. She paid attention to small details such as how many times they rinsed their mouths after eating and learned to do so so that she would not look so nervous and try to make herself more relaxed.
That day, after buying the clothes and shoes, when Zhao Zhanhuai took Mingxi to the first school to complete the transfer procedures, Mingxi noticed that many girls in the school were looking at her.
Mingxi noticed that she was very different from them. Even though they were all wearing very expensive clothes from the mall, these girls were very good at dressing up.
