My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 174

Li Yuqing seemed to understand why the principal's hand was shaking that day, as she now couldn't control her own trembling hands.

Li Yuqing's sister glanced at her, "Why are you shaking so much?"

Li Yuqing had been holding her sister's arm, so her sister could feel her trembling.

She laughed it off, explaining, "The air conditioning in the store is too strong, I'm a bit cold."

The shop assistant accompanying them hadn't noticed the temperature being low, but considering these two were big customers who had just bought a lot of jewelry, satisfying her monthly KPI in one go, she was ready to accommodate any request, no matter how unreasonable.

So she quickly said, "We'll turn up the temperature right away."

Li Yuqing's sister frowned, "The temperature isn't high in here. Are you sick?"

She reached behind Li Yuqing to feel her forehead, muttering to herself, "No fever."

"Even without a fever, we should prevent it. Remember to have the housekeeper make you some Banlangen when we get home, just in case."

[It seems Li Yuqing's parents don't approve of their elder daughter's husband. Li Yuqing's sister married the man she loved against her parents' wishes, and her parents didn't participate in the wedding at all.]

[The couple was fine at first, but later something went wrong. That brother-in-law ended up killing his father-in-law's entire family, including his own wife and their unborn child.]

Just hearing Shi Li's thoughts, Li Yuqing could feel a distinct pain in her neck.

She reached up to touch her neck, finding her head still attached and no wounds.

Li Yuqing turned to see her sister happily selecting cufflinks, and suddenly felt a surge of anger.

Even if you had found someone who was after your money, or someone who was secretly unfaithful, at least they might have spared your life.

But now, not only will your future brother-in-law kill you and your unborn child, he won't even spare mom, dad, and me.

After some thought, Li Yuqing couldn't help but speak up, "Sis, mom and dad still haven't agreed to your marriage. Why don't you reconsider? There's no rush. Talk it over with them properly. They love you, and they'll surely compromise in the end. This is a lifelong decision, after all. I really hope you can get our parents' approval."

Her goal now was to stabilize the situation and prevent her sister from getting married immediately.

Li Yuwei touched her belly with a blissful expression, saying, "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's your nephew who can't wait. I can't have the baby before getting married, can I? In a few months when my belly gets big, I won't look good in a wedding dress."

She's already pregnant?

Her sister had never mentioned this before. Li Yuqing only knew that she was rushing to get married, that their parents didn't approve, and that they had kicked her out of the house.

Today was the first day of summer vacation. Li Yuqing had planned to spend quality time with her bed, but a phone call in the afternoon from her sister had summoned her to go shopping and help choose jewelry.

Seeing her sister's shocked face, Li Yuwei thought she was speechless with joy at becoming an aunt.

She generously offered, "Do you want to feel it?"

When her sister didn't respond, Li Yuwei poked her cheek, "Look at you, so overwhelmed with happiness at becoming an aunt!"

Li Yuqing thought: My life has entered a countdown of a few months, and I'm not only unhappy but afraid to move.

Li Yuqing absent-mindedly followed her sister. Whenever Li Yuwei asked for her opinion, she would just nod or give a perfunctory "looks good."

It didn't take long for Li Yuwei to notice something was off with her sister.

What should have been a joyous occasion turned sour as her sister repeatedly brushed her off. Her spoiled rich girl temper flared up, exacerbated by pregnancy hormones making her moody.

"If you don't want to shop with me, I can do it alone. No need to force yourself."

Li Yuqing wanted to storm off, saying she'd had enough, if it weren't for her poor judgment that would lead to such a catastrophe for her family.

However, considering her sister's pregnancy, Li Yuqing had to placate her. She explained that she wasn't upset with her sister, but was just thinking about some school matters, which is why she seemed distracted. She apologized profusely.

She then asked the shop assistant to bring out some children's jewelry, saying it was a gift from the aunt for the baby.

Having barely managed to soothe her sister, Li Yuwei no longer felt like shopping.

Li Yuqing took charge of carrying the spoils from the first half of their shopping trip, scurrying after Li Yuwei.

Whatever Li Yuwei wanted to buy, Li Yuqing would rush forward to pay, like a head eunuch serving the emperor.

After wandering around the mall for a while, they encountered Shi Li and Song Ying at the exit.

Song Ying had bought some women's health products from a health store, preparing gifts for everyone from Shi Li's grandmother to his aunt, and even the nanny who had once taken care of her.

Li Yuwei spotted the two girls first, pointing at them as they each held shopping bags in one hand and ice cream in the other, asking her sister, "Aren't those your classmates?"

Li Yuqing nodded.

Since they had seen each other, they had to go say hello.

However, Li Yuwei's eyes were drawn to the ice cream in their hands, making her mouth water. She was even more enthusiastic than Li Yuqing, acting childish with her sister but polite to the others, "We meet again! Have you finished your shopping?"

Shi Li nodded, "Yes, are you heading home too?"

They had originally planned to go home, but after seeing the ice cream, she changed her mind. She wanted to buy an ice cream first, then talk about going home.

Li Yuwei asked with a smile, "Where did you buy that ice cream?"

After Shi Li explained the exact location and name of the shop, Song Ying couldn't help but share the details of the discount promotion they had used.

This was Song Ying's habit: always checking group-buying apps for discounts before making a purchase.

Li Yuwei was very interested in the idea of buying discounted ice cream, but she didn't quite understand how to do it. So she pulled Song Ying over to demonstrate the process in front of her, only letting the two girls leave after she had fully grasped it.

The scene of Li Yuwei and Song Ying putting their heads together to study money-saving strategies was so heartwarming that Shi Li couldn't help but think, [What a nice person. Who could imagine that due to poor judgment in choosing a partner, she'd end up having a child with someone who's plotting to kill her entire family?]

Li Yuqing thought: Don't just let me hear this, please push it to my love-blind sister.

Let her know that choosing the wrong man not only harms herself but brings disaster to the whole family.
