Chapter 706: Chapter 706 The Sister Over There (21)_1

The class teacher seized the moment to say, "This is a photo sent by Student Jiaojiao’s older brother from Beidu. He’s currently studying at Qing University; everyone can take a look. All of you should work hard, and perhaps the next one to get into Qing University could be among you."

"Wow, that’s so impressive, it’s Qing University."

"Look, look, this is real, I saw this gate in the newspaper last time."

"Jiaojiao, is this really your brother? He’s amazing."

"..."

Before long, Ruan Jiaojiao’s classmates had surrounded her, all looking at her with eyes full of envy and exclaiming in admiration.

Ruan Jiaojiao cherished this photo deeply. At first, she was a little worried that her classmates would damage it in their eagerness to see, but when she noticed that they were careful not to dirty or harm it, she generously let them take a look. When she talked about her older brother, her face filled with pride.

These three photos of Ruan Jiaojiao circulated throughout the entire class, and even Qi Weixin had a look.

Through others, Weixin learned that Ruan Jiaojiao was from a nouveau riche family who owned a restaurant and had some money. Initially, she had felt a sense of pride about her own family because both of her parents were teachers, which was the most respected profession in that era. From childhood, she had always been held in high regard by all her classmates because of this.

It never occurred to her that Ruan Jiaojiao would have an older brother studying at Qing University.

Qing University, no less!

Even as middle school students, they had all heard of the nation’s top university.

It was already impressive to have a college student in the family, but Ruan Jiaojiao’s brother was a student at Qing University...

"Is he really your blood brother?" Qi Weixin still found it hard to accept and suddenly asked, standing opposite Ruan Jiaojiao.

"What do you mean by that? If he’s not our real brother, is he yours? What’s in your head—must be something wrong with it!!" Little Fatty got angry when he heard this, pointing at Qi Weixin’s nose as if he was about to curse out loud, but remembering the teacher was present, he abruptly changed the direction of his words.

Ruan Jiaojiao also found the comment ridiculous, but she considered herself more mature, so she didn’t argue. She simply affirmed with an ’of course’ and continued reading the letter. Towards the end, it mentioned that for the New Year, her father Ruan Jie and she, along with her grandmother, should visit Beidu to celebrate, and her brother would take her to see the university he was attending.

More than two years had passed since those incidents, and Ruan Jiaojiao had had a good and happy life during this period, almost forgetting those frightening events. The words at the end of the letter still thrilled her, and she too wished to venture out and see the world.

Meanwhile, Qi Weixin seemed to have taken a significant blow, listless throughout the entire evening self-study session.

Ruan Jiaojiao was seated just next to Xiu Xi, directly across from Weixin, so naturally, she noticed her state. Jiaojiao genuinely didn’t understand—what did her having an older brother at Qing University have to do with Weixin?

Of course, what she didn’t know was that it indeed had a great deal to do with it.

Having been pampered since childhood, Qi Weixin suddenly found herself no longer the center of attention upon entering middle school. She was already feeling uncomfortable about it, but she consoled herself by thinking that she was different from Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi.

Although Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi may have lived well and dressed well, their families were just nouveau riche, just with some money; they were nothing like her, a teacher’s daughter.

She saw herself as much more noble than them; they were not the same at all.

That was what she had always told herself, what she had used to comfort herself.
