May The Rest Of My Life Be Sweet To You ( Machine Translation )-Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine, stupefied

Before Qin Sheng could finish her sentence, Gong Mochen's words interrupted her.

"Go and do your homework with Yunting. If you fail the monthly exam again, I shall teach you a valuable lesson!"

"Third brother, let's go, or we'll be late." Qin Zixian urged Gong Mochen out of the room, not wanting to see the man and Qin Sheng say another word to each other.

This was eye-opening for Qin Sheng, but no matter how she looked at it, it sounded so dodgy... Her aunt clearly wanted to be closer to Gong Mochen.

Qin Sheng stomped her foot. That damned man! He'd actually said that her aunt didn't want to be with him. But then why had Aunt Zixian not gone to work at the Qin Corporation after graduating from university, and instead went to work as Gong Mochen's secretary now? It was glaringly obvious... She wanted to be with him!

"He's already gone; why are you still looking for him? Are you going to revise and do your homework, or not? If not, I'll call Uncle and tell him!" Qin Yunting knew what was the most effective way to threaten Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng rolled her eyes. "Even if you did call uncle I wouldn't be scared. You're scared of him though, I can tell!"

She carried her backpack and traipsed into the study room. She threw her backpack onto the desk with a thud, and then threw herself onto the swivel chair and crossed her legs on the desk.

Qin Yunting couldn't stand Qin Sheng's scruffy ways, and she couldn't stand Qin Sheng's t-shirt and jeans. In comparison, Qin Yunting always wore a lace dress, and was as noble as a princess in a fairy tale story.

"Don't you dare say you're my cousin when you go out! How embarrassing! Look at the state of you," Qin Yunting said in disgust.

Qin Yunting wished they weren't the same age, but their birthdays were only two months apart. It was a shambles that they were in the same class together, in Qin Yunting's opinion, anyway.

"Don't help me with my homework if you think I'm embarrassing. GET LOST!" Qin Sheng shouted.

Qin Yunting was so angry and she glared at Qin Shen. "Who are you telling to get lost? Do you think I want to teach you? With your grades, my grandfather said that the Qin family has never had someone with such bad grades in the family. The IQ of a little child who follows its mother. Only your mother..."

Suddenly, Qin Sheng jumped up from the swivel chair, picked up a paperweight and swung out at Qin Yunting. "I dare you to f*cking say that again!"

The eldest daughter, Qin Yunting, was so scared and dodged backwards. The paperweight was aimed straight at her head. Qin Sheng had always been a person who dared to do anything, so would surely smash her head in given the chance!

"What did I say? I didn't say anything. I just said that you follow your mother's IQ. You can go online and check it out. IQ tests were developed by a scientist!" she hurriedly explained.

Qin Sheng snorted coldly and put away the paperweight. So, Qin Yunting thought she was bad at her studies... and it seemed her grandfather did too... Great...

Maybe it was because she didn't want to do well in the exams... She enjoyed her studies, however, when Gong Mochen had gone abroad, she'd wanted to use all kinds of methods to force him to come back. In the end, she started doing bad in her studies. Her academic results had plummeted from then on, and her uncle had finally returned.

She liked being cared for and taught by her uncle. If she did well in the exams, would there even be any benefits? However, Qin Yunting, was cunning, nasty. She didn't know her true ambitions!

The key was to get her uncle wrapped her finger again. She wanted him in the palm of her hand.

"What are you studying for, anyway? Hurry up and say it!" Qin Sheng asked her cousin.

Qin Yunting covered her heart with her hand, her fingers trembling. She wanted to punch Qin Sheng in the face.

"Reviewing extracts... making notes and writing things down," she said as she took out a few notebooks from the drawer of the desk and threw them on the table. "Copy the notes out of these books. Also, do the English words too, and then try the maths exercises. That's all. I have something to do now, so I'm going out. I'll check your homework when I get back."

She raised her head proudly and walked out of the study. When she closed the door, she quietly locked it. This was payback for Qin Sheng attacking her. Who was having the last laugh now?

As far as Qin Yunting was concerned, Qin Sheng's mother was a princess of a nightclub (aka a prostitute) and Sheng was a sl*t herself.

Qin Sheng glared at her cousin as she left of the room, knocking her fingers on the table to help funnel her anger away. She wouldn't let her Qin Yunting get to her. That would be admitting defeat.

She needed help with her homework, but wouldn't ask Qin Yunting for help, not after what she'd said. She was sure that Qin Yunting had gone on a date with their school mate, Husky.

Her eyes flashed with a crafty twinkle. She opened her notebook and began to write, "Autumn thoughts in the clear sky."

"Withered vines, old trees, the faint cawing of crows..."

She copied down the poem Qin Yunting had written in her notebook. The teacher would be be dumbfounded when he saw her homework tomorrow!

Time passed by under the tip of her pen.

At noon, she finished her homework and got up to go to the restaurant for lunch. Only then did she realize that she was locked in by Qin Yunting! The b*tch!

Oh my God... Did Yunting mean to stop her from eating?

She didn't bother calling to anyone to open the door. In this house, her words were as effective as those of a servant. Even if she did call out, no one would care about her.

Her stomach was growling. It didn't feel good to be hungry... Qin Sheng thought of something. She stepped to the table and reached for the lower cupboard. As expected, it was full of glorious snacks.

In order to make sure her daughter had a gorgeously slim figure, second Aunt Zheng Min never let Qin Yunting eat snacks. However, Qin Sheng once found that Qin Yunting hid some snacks in this room.

Maybe she should relieve her cousin of these snacks? Gorge on them right now? That would certainly teach Yunting a lesson for locking her in this room. The corners of her lips curved upwards slyly... That would certainly make Qin Yunting scream in shock when she found out!

Whilst she was lying comfortably on the sofa, chewing the salty potato chips, grabbing the gooey chocolate, and licking the light cream on the cake, the voices of her grandfather and grandmother came from outside the door.

"Why did you come back so late? Mochen brought Qin Sheng back today," He Fen said.

A dead silence followed. Qin Sheng could imagine the expression on her grandfather's face. Her father had died in a car accident when he rushed to the hospital to be at her birth, so her grandfather thought that she had killed his eldest son.

The pain of losing his son made him not even allow Qin Sheng to call him by the name on the genealogy. According to the genealogy, she should be called Qin Yun Sheng...

However, Qin Sheng didn't care if she didn't have the word "Yun" in her name, because her uncle had named her Sheng. Gong Mochen had named her Sheng... It meant victory, and Mochen said she was a victory over death, living through the deaths of her parents. Her uncle said that Sheng had its own rhyme, and she didn't need that other word.

After a while, her grandfather Qin Ze's voice was heard, "Oh... that little girl is back..." He sighed deeply.

Qin Sheng pursed her lips and took a bite of the cake. Qin Ze's tone was as if there was an additional servant or an unimportant person in the house.

"Qin Sheng doesn't matter... We'll just raise her for a few more years and then marry her off to someone. However, Mochen isn't young anymore and it's time for him to get married now. What I mean is, we should tell Mochen to marry Qin Zixian. The scale of his company is getting bigger and bigger. We, the Qin family, have trained him. We can't let outsiders benefit, so he must marry Zixian." He Fen held onto Qin Ze's arm as she spoke.

Qin Sheng jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the door. She pressed her ear against the wood, wanting to hear her grandfather's reply.

"Yes... It's for the best..."

What was that he said? Oh gosh! She'd missed it! Qin Sheng was stuck to the door, so she didn't fully hear her grandfather's words; they'd been mumbled through the wood.

However, from the meaning of the words she had heard, it was clear that her grandfather had agreed to He Fen's suggestion to marry her aunt to Gong Mochen!

Qin Sheng kicked the door. Damn it, her aunt was going to steal her man!

Suddenly, Qin Ze's voice called from the corridor, loud and clear, "What was that sound?"

"It's me. Cousin Yunting locked me in the study. She was being mean!" Qin Sheng said loudly from behind the door. She scrambled back and quickly shoved away the empty food bags.

Damn it... She wanted to slap Qin Yunting for locking her in here, and she wanted to go to Gong Mochen to stop him from marrying her aunt... He was her man, even if he didn't see it yet!
