Chapter 273 Dismissal
No matter how reluctant the Zhao Family was, the Zhang Family had annulled the engagement, making it even harder for the Zhao Family girls to find suitors. Devastated by the blow, Zhao Xiaoxing didn’t go to work that afternoon and instead hid in her room, crying incessantly.
Zhao Jianing said, "What’s the use of crying? Didn’t you used to say the same to me?"
Zhao Xiaoxing, irritated and unable to find a target for her frustration, retorted, "Don’t gloat over my misfortune. It’s all because of you that I got dumped by the Zhang Family today, and it’s because of you that our family has become like this. You’re a jinx."
Zhao Jianing pursed her lips and replied, "Say whatever you want, at the end of the day, I’m not the one who got the marriage annulled."
After finishing, she turned around and left the courtyard to sit in a shady spot, contemplating how to broach the subject of schooling with her cheap adoptive father once he returned. She couldn’t afford any more delays.
A month had almost passed since the start of school, and she was worried she wouldn’t be able to catch up if it were any later, so she couldn’t postpone her education any longer.
She was supposed to be in her second year of junior high by now, and when she heard from Younger Sister Zhao, Zhao Xiaoyun that Luo Qiao was already in high school, she felt terrible.
In Ji City, Luo Tianming was inexplicably scolded by his team leader today, leaving him simmering with indignation. Ever since his son caused trouble, he had been worried about Director Geng giving him a hard time at work.
