After the fight with Qu Liyang, Le Xuewei went back to the cla.s.sroom and started crying.

　　In the cla.s.sroom, the Old Lady, the professor of ‘Art History of Europe'was spattering with foam everywhere, while Le Xuewei was choking with sobs. Ruan Danning, who was in silence, took out tissues and handed them to her. Poor kid, she finally cried out! Having held the tears for a long time, she deserved a good crying.

　　Hopefully, Le Xuewei would learn from this mistake when she had a love affair with a man in the future.

　　…

　　It was the weekend. Le Xuewei went home that night.

　　Le Xuewei born in a decent family. Her father Qiao Wandong, the President of T University, was a professor who earned a lot from copyright each year. Yet, no one at the university, including Le Xuewei's best friend Ruan Danning, knew about the relations.h.i.+p between Le Xuewei and Qiao Wandong. It was not because Le Xuewei kept a low profile, in fact, she refused to regard that man as her father.

　　Qiao Wandong's family name was Qiao, but Le Xuewei's family name was Le. Le was not her birth name, but the name she changed into at the year when her mother died. Her mother's family name was Le. Le Xuewei was 6 years old when her mother died.

　　Le Xuewei, a six-year-old girl, knew her mother was gone, and would never come back.

　　When Xuewei was still in pain for the loss of her mother, her father brought her stepmother and their daughter to Qiao's house. Their daughter was Qiao Yuewei, who was a year older than Le Xuewei, that is, her father betrayed her mother long before Le Xuewei was born!

　　Le Xuewei packed her stuff quietly and left for her grandmother's house. She even changed her family name from Qiao to Le…From then on, there was no ‘father'in her world!

　　Le Xuewei was raised by her grandmother and visited Qiao Wandong when she had no other choice. However, without any affection for father and daughter, she and Qiao Wandong had nothing to talk about. Each time she was called over by Qiao Wandong, since she would never came to Qiao's house on her own.

　　A month ago, Qiao Wandong pushed Le Xuewei to come home for dinner, with blasts of phone calls and text messages. Finally, Le Xuewei came to Qiao's house unwillingly after she ran out of excuses.

　　Le Xuewei didn't have the key to Qiao's house, so she stood in front of the yard door to ring the bell. The nanny who opened the door for her.

　　"h.e.l.lo, Mrs. Wu."

　　Mrs. Wu pinched Le Xuewei's face, smiling, "You are here. Don't you miss me?"

　　"Yes, I miss you a lot!"Le Xuewei jumped to hug Mrs. Wu, and kissed her hard on her face.

　　Mrs. Wu had been serving Qiao Family for her entire life. She was there as Le Xuewei grew up, and the two were always intimate, as if they were mother and daughter. After Le Xuewei's mother pa.s.sed away, no one in Qiao Family really cared about her except Mrs. Wu.

　　"Yo, Xuewei is back?"

　　Le Xuewei's stepmother--Kang Huizhen came down from upstairs. She, in her forties, looked younger, due to good care. Over these years, she, as Mrs. President, lived a nice life.

　　"Um."Le Xuewei snorted a hum, which was the reply to her.

　　"What are you up to for coming back today? Lack of money?"Kang Huizhen put on a ‘good-mum'face, as if she cared about Le Xuewei very much.

　　Le Xuewei responded impolitely, "Yeah, maybe I am short of cash, but did I ever spend a single penny of Qiao Family? It seems as if you gave me thousands."

　　"I asked her to come home."Before Le Xuewei finished her sentence, Qiao Wandong walked in from the front door, with blatant dissatisfaction with what his wife had said. "This is Xuewei's home. Why can't she come back?"

　　"No, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood me!"Kang Huizhen showed some embarra.s.sment on her face and hurried to explain, but she threw an angry stare at Le Xuewei, which Qiao Wandong didn't notice.

　　Le Xuewei who got used to this pretended to notice nothing.

　　"What's the matter, President Qiao? The exam is coming, and I am in a hurry to review my lessons."She was urging President Qiao-- please spit it out!

　　Qiao Wandong's face froze for a while. He handed his briefcase to Kang Huizhen and said, "Xuewei, no rush. Daddy haven't seen you for a long time. How about staying here for dinner? Daddy has something to tell you."

　　As Qiao Wandong was talking, he asked for Mrs. Wu's help by winking at her, and Mrs. Wu got it and said, "Yes, yes, sit down and have something to eat. We can talk while eating."

　　For Mrs. Wu's sake, Le Xuewei nodded, having no solution but to agree.

　　"Come, Xuewei, this shrimp is for you. You like shrimp the best, help yourself."

　　Le Xuewei put aisde the food Qiao Wandong carefully picked up and put into her bowl. Seeing this, Qiao Wandong hung his chopsticks in the air embarra.s.singly, at a loss what to do. Le Xuewei drank her soup and said, "I am sorry, President Qiao. I changed my taste. Shrimp is no longer my favorite anymore."

　　"Well, what do you like? Daddy will pick it up for you."Qiao Wandong was endeavoring to soften her up.

　　Le Xuewei glanced at Qiao Wandong uninterestingly, "President Qiao, don't you have something to tell me? Please hurry up, I am about to finish."

　　"Oh, what about your future plan? You are a junior, majoring in design. I think you should go abroad for further study. Chinese universities are not good enough for you."

　　"Aha."Le Xuewei laughed, and looked at her stepmother Kang Huizhen meaningfully, "President Qiao, you are planning to send me abroad?"

　　Qiao Wandong nodded immediately, "Sure, if you have other plans, please tell me, so that I will try my best to help you. If everything goes on well, you can go abroad before your last year begins. You know, there are few lessons in the fourth year. You can abroad earlier to help you learn more things. "

　　Kang Huizhen's face looked terrible when Qiao Wandong was talking.

　　Le Xuewei knew Kang Huizhen had a hard time when Qiao Wandong spent loads of money and time on her, and Kang Huizhen was dying to give her daughter Qiao Yuwei everything. Qiao Yuwei was sent abroad since high school, while still grudged money for Le Xuewei's studying abroad.

　　For Le Xuewei, staying in Qiao's house equaled to sitting on pins and needles.

　　Le Xuewei put down her bowl and stood up, "President Qiao, no need to be concerned about my future. I didn't take tuition fees and allowances from you since I went to primary school. I won't ask you for anything. You and your…wife don't have to worry about me."

　　"Xuewei, going abroad will cost you a fortune. I am afraid your grandmother couldn't afford it."Qiao Wandong felt ashamed for himself. Though he sent Le Xuewei's grandmother money for her daily expense and education every year, Xuewei sent everything back. His youngest daughter was so stubborn that he, as her father, wanted to make her up but had no way.

　　"Huh…"Le Xuewei wiped her mouth and grinned, "No need to be worried. I have my own solution. Have you finished? President Qiao, I have to leave."

　　Stepping out of Qiao's house, Le Xuewei couldn't help tearing up, She did bring it on herself. She had been cut off with Qiao Family for a long time, yet she came here to be bullied. She would cry for her stupidity.
