C25 If You Pinch It It Won't Look Good Anymore
Cui Yingtong hated Su Mingyue for teaching her not to be soft-hearted and not let Ruan Ping'er bully her. Su Mingyue naturally agreed and felt warm inside. No matter what, these friends of hers would always be on her side.
"It doesn't feel good to have someone like that in your eyes. How about this, we'll go outside of the city for some summer vacation later. I remember that your family has a manor that is connected to ours. We'll go together and bring our sister Zhu'er." Cui Yingtong suggested, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Su Mingzhu was listening to her sisters' conversation while quietly eating her dessert. She did not express her opinion and was suddenly called out. She raised her head and looked at the two sisters adorably.
"Sure." Cui Yingtong asked while stroking Su Mingzhu's face.
"Don't touch Zhu'er's face, don't pinch her nice little face." Su Mingyue protested on behalf of Su Mingzhu.
"How could that be? I've never been bullied since I was young, and I haven't been forced to grow crooked at all!" Cui Yingtong had moved to use herself as an example.
"Is that so?" Su Mingyue's face was filled with disbelief. "I clearly remember that you were better looking than you are now."
Su Mingyue had indeed changed. She had become capable at making fun of others. Cui Yingtong, of course, refused and wanted to go up and pinch Su Mingyue. She wanted to see if Su Mingyue would turn ugly after pinching her pretty face a few times.
"What are you talking about? I'm so happy." A gentle and elegant voice rang out as a well-dressed young girl came up to the pavilion.
"Big sister Lin Zhi." Without waiting for Su Mingyue and Cui Yingtong to react, Su Mingzhu rushed forward and hugged the woman.
"Lin Zhi, you have to stand up for me. You bullied me, this cousin of yours." Lin Zhi was the one who sent the Lin Family, so she was naturally the cousin of Su Mingyue and the others. It was just that they were about the same age, so they didn't care about each other anymore.
"Tong'er, Lin Zhi is my cousin. Which side do you think she will stand on?" Su Mingyue laughed softly.
Cui Yingtong was still reluctant to believe it when she heard Lin Zhi say, "Mingyue has always been the most good-natured one. You must have said something to make her unhappy."
"Sure enough, you two are in the same group. What do you mean by 'good nature'? Three days apart is three days of respect. Your younger cousin is no longer the same as before." Cui Yingtong smiled as she recounted Su Mingyue's feat.
Although Cui Yingtong seemed carefree, she had always kept a low profile and didn't dare to speak carelessly. Lin Zhi was from a large family, so there was no need to mention the rules. Besides, Su Mingyue wasn't afraid of anyone knowing about this.
"I remember there's a pond somewhere full of lotus flowers. We can pick some lotus roots to make nectar, and …" Cui Yingtong constantly described to everyone the good days of summer vacation, but this time there will be an additional Lin Zhi.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. We have to go back and ask the elders of the family!" Su Mingyue smiled. She was afraid that Ruan Ping'er would follow after him if she did something inappropriate. Wouldn't she be more of an eyesore if that happened?
"That's right, we have to always ask our family." Lin Zhi also said the same thing.
Cui Yingtong couldn't help but frown. If she was going to stay at the Manor by herself, Mom would definitely not want to. But with Su Mingyue and Lin Zhi, things were different. Su Mingyue and Lin Zhi were very careful, so Mother would definitely agree.
Cui Yingtong then told Su Mingyue and Lin Zhi to have a good discussion with the family members. When they all agreed to Cui Yingtong's request, a joyous expression appeared on their faces.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet was Noble Girl's place to showcase her talents, so it was naturally impossible for them to speak in peace here. Not long later, Maidservant came to invite them to join the other ladies in showcasing their talents.
