Mu Qiqi smiled in return, and gave everyone in the car a wave when they reached the school gates.
Old Lin watched her leave worriedly, and asked Sheng Xiao, "Aren't you worried, Young Master?"
"She could handle it." Sheng Xiao did not doubt Mu Qiqi's determination to improve at all for some reason. "Let's go..."
"Yes, Young Master."
Old Lin rarely saw Sheng Xiao spend time with anyone, and Mu Qiqi could be considered the first to break that rule. Even if he was unsure what Sheng Xiao was thinking, Mu Qiqi's past suffering hurt him as a father.
Many would not believe Mu Qiqi's life story, but Old Lin had seen things even more harrowing: adults can be frightening in their pursuit of profit, and every living relation could become shallow or powerless as a result.
He could only hope that the day goes well for Mu Qiqi!

Soon, Mu Qiqi entered her class, readying herself to meet Mu Tangxue.
Mu Tangxue did not disappoint. In the first morning class, their class teacher led Mu Tangxue into class, leaving all of her classmates in an uproar.
"Qiqi... You resemble that transfer student so much!"
"Is she the younger or the older?"
"We never heard about her from you..."
Mu Tangxue started at Mu Qiqi, who did not try to evade and met her gaze in full.
The teacher smiled and make the introductions then. "That's right, she's Mu Tangxue, Mu Qiqi's twin sister who just transferred in from Van Gogh. Let's welcome her."
Mu Qiqi clapped along with the rest of her classmates, when her teacher turned towards her. "Qiqi, you'll be taking care of her since she's your sister."
Mu Tangxue stared at Mu Qiqi provokingly, because the teacher had just given Mu Tangxue an excuse to stick close to her.
And bully her like before.
However, Mu Qiqi suddenly raised her hand and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, but I think it's better to keep us apart. We don't get along with each other."
"Well..." The teacher smiled awkwardly.
"It's fine, teacher.
I could sit somewhere else." Mu Tangxue came to the teacher's rescue immediately.
"Qiqi, you're being outrageous." The teacher glared at Mu Qiqi, blaming her.
However, she was also sincerely concerned about Mu Qiqi, and her grades prevented anyone from being too harsh against him.
"Teacher, I'm just preparing you so that you won't be confused about why I always bully her!"
"Alright, alright, but don't really bully her, okay?" The teacher told her. "Alright, time is short so let's get class started. We'll talk afterward if there's anything elseTangxue, please go to your seat."
Mu Tangxue walked meekly to her seat, but there was anger just beneath her eyes.
After all, Mu Qiqi had disregarded the teacher about taking care' of her.
And worse, Mu Qiqi was boldly declaring that she would bully her.
In truth, Mu Qiqi was preparing everyone else, entirely because she knew that Mu Tangxue would put up an act to trap and bully her.
With that being the case, she would simply tell everyone else the truthwhen Mu Tangxue did put up an act, their teacher would only think that she should not have told Qiqi to take care of Tangxue. Indeed, the class would not even be surprised that Mu Tangxue started crying and complaining.
