CHAPTER 858: CHAPTER 862: BORN REBELLIOUS (12)

Su Li and Lan Chengying were assigned to the archaeology major, which was Director Xie’s last bit of stubbornness in resistance.

These spoiled rich kids love to mess around and might not withstand the boredom of archaeology.

Moreover, the old professors in the archaeology department are quite formidable and rigid about academic matters. When these out-of-touch kids meet them, they are bound to suffer.

On top of that, archaeology often involves field trips to remote areas, and without a strong physique and deep passion, one cannot endure it.

Director Xie decided to just quietly watch them crumble and then either drop out or transfer.

However, Director Xie forgot that there’s a saying: "The ideal is plump, but reality is bony."

As for the archaeology major or any other major, Su Li had no objections, and Lan Chengying had even fewer.

However, Su Li felt like she had forgotten something.

But if she forgot, it must not be important, so she decided to go back to sleep.

With an attentive companion, her quality of life improved drastically.

Before falling asleep, Su Li was still thinking about whether she should give Lan Chengying some perks. Like the saying goes, you can’t expect a horse to run without feeding it grass.

A few days later, on the official registration day for freshmen, Su Li finally remembered what she had forgotten.

The original owner’s half-sister, Cheng Xinxin, was also attending this school.

Cheng Xinxin was known as a little genius, having been directly admitted to Hua University’s computer science department before the college entrance exam.

Because of her young age, her whole family almost had to come in full force to assist her with the registration.

They were well-dressed and elegant, especially Cheng Xinxin and Cheng Jingran, the standout siblings.

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is always a striking scene anywhere.

And Su Li, accompanied by Lan Chengying, happened to bump into them head-on.

The sun overhead made people sleepy, and Su Li was squinting, listening to Lan Chengying happily talking about the good places to eat and have fun around the school, but their conversation was interrupted.

"Mr. Lan."

Lan Chengying was speaking excitedly when suddenly interrupted, his expression turned sour as his rebellious eyes stared displeased at the speaker, "Who are you?"

Mr. Cheng’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly put on a kindly smile and explained, "Hello, Mr. Lan, I am Cheng Jin from Cheng Yuan Technology."

"Mr. Lan is a freshman this year, right? What a coincidence, my daughter also got in."

Mr. Cheng’s smile was somewhat ingratiating, a type of person Lan Chengying had seen plenty of times, so naturally, he was not in a good mood.

Moreover, they were interrupting them.

Lan Chengying, with sharp eyes, noticed Su Li’s drowsy look. After spending time together, he had learned to interpret many of Boss Su’s subtle gestures.

This indicated that Boss Su was getting impatient.

Lan Chengying rudely said, "Do we know each other? Are we familiar?"

"Please step aside, you are blocking my way."

Being the focus of the crowd, Lan Chengying’s appearance wasn’t ordinary either. Such a conspicuous group catching everyone’s attention naturally attracted many glances.

Lan Chengying’s scornful barrage of questions: Who are you? Do we know each other? Are we familiar? instantly made people laugh out loud.

Though impolite and not quite decent, it seemed quite funny, didn’t it?

Any observant person could see, this was an attempt to get close that ended up backfiring as a tragic encounter.

Being admitted to Hua University indicates at least one thing: the students are not only not slow-witted, but they’re actually quite clever.

With a bit of analysis, one could instantly guess the situation, and even extrapolate and strings together many imaginative scenarios.

The language teacher would cry; is this how you use the technique of drawing inferences from examples?

Being embarrassed by a junior, Mr. Cheng wanted to get angry but dared not.

He had once had the fortune to meet the young master of the Lan family and heard tales about this little ancestor. It’s best to steer clear, or else any grievances swallowed would have to be stomached.

Lan Chengying was a reckless sort, and the Lan family was protective to a fault.

When he listened back then, he thought his business partner was exaggerating. However wilful he might be, he was just a teen, barely worth much attention.

If not, he wouldn’t have rushed in so rashly today, losing face embarrassingly.

Mr. Cheng was frustrated to no avail, his face flushed like pig liver, which made his children, Cheng Jingran and Cheng Xinxin, feel sympathetic.

Cheng Jingran was more restrained, having graduated and gained some experience in the company, less impulsive than a youth.

Seeing his father maintaining a smile even while angry, he understood that the person before him was someone the Cheng family couldn’t afford to cross.

No matter the reluctance, the situation was beyond his control.

Cheng Jingran clenched his fists, developing an ambition to climb higher.

Cheng Xinxin didn’t consider so many things; she saw was the image of her most respected father being humiliated.

"How can you be like this?"

"Apologize, apologize to my daddy."

Cheng Xinxin waved her little fist, glaring fiercely with her round eyes, angrily like a little pufferfish.

Lan Chengying was amused, "Your whole family must have a hole in their brains, it’s truly inexplicable."

"What did I say that requires an apology?"

"I don’t even know you, it’s a joke."

Cheng Xinxin mumbled words that wouldn’t come out, stammering until she finally squeezed out, "Your attitude is bad. No matter what, my daddy is an elder; you shouldn’t talk to him in such a tone."

Su Li became interested and lazily stepped out from behind Lan Chengying, slowly saying, "You did say he is your daddy."

"He’s not Xiao Lan’s daddy, so why save face for him? You think your family is RMB and everyone likes you?"

"You...." Immediately, tears welled up in Cheng Xinxin’s eyes.

Su Li: "Did you not know? The one who provokes first... is cheap."

Lan Chengying started clapping, "Boss, well said, beautifully said, amazingly said."

Su Li: "...." The compliment was so awkward.

When Su Li spoke, everyone noticed Lan Chengying wasn’t alone.

Su Ying and Cheng Xinxin both felt the girl before them seemed familiar but couldn’t recall where they had seen her before.

"Ah, tired... let’s go..." Without waiting for the Cheng family to respond, Su Li signaled Lan Chengying to leave.

The surrounding students, who had been enjoying the free show, left satisfied.

Quickly, a post appeared on the school’s forum.

Now, the whole school knew that among this year’s freshmen, two girls stood out as being outrageously beautiful, with one particularly striking.
