Lina’s lecture made Xu Cheng’s face red. Xu Cheng bit her lip and said, “I just wanted to save some time. I wasn’t implying anything else…”
“You want to save some time?” Lina looked at Xu Cheng. “But, did you consider the fact that I have been working from last night to this morning? I slept for no more than three hours, and you came and woke me up.”
Xu Cheng was shocked when she heard Lina’s words.
She did not think twice about this. She merely wanted to come a bit early and take the test earlier, so the results would be out sooner. That way, she could be Lina’s daughter a bit earlier. Then, she could go to Europe with Lina and inherit her fortune.
“I just have a habit of doing everything early.” Xu Cheng was still trying to find some excuse for herself.
If Xu Cheng had stopped her explanations at this moment, Lina might as well just let this incident slide.
However, Xu Cheng had to keep trying to find more excuses for herself. Such a reaction made Lina feel rather offended.
“I don’t know how your previous family raised you. Anyway, we are going to take the DNA test today. If you are my real daughter, I will need to give you more than one lecture in the future.”
Xu Cheng was all red. She was furious. Was Lina saying that she was not raised well?
Lina seemed to be able to read Xu Cheng’s mind. She continued, “I take punctuality rather seriously, as well as agreements! What is punctuality? Punctuality is not just about not being late. Being too early, like you did, is also wrong! Your action today, which was based on your subjective judgment, shows your disregard for punctuality and the agreement between the two of us. It shows that you are selfish. You consider yourself to be the most important person in the world. That’s why you have ignored our agreement by arriving two and a half hours early. Do you think this is an act of good conduct? No. If you behave the same way in society, in your workplace, it is an act of discourtesy and poor planning.”
Xu Cheng was stunned by Lina’s words. She could not figure out how, just by arriving two and a half hours early, she became a selfish, rude person who failed in planning.
Xu Cheng still believed that she did nothing wrong. On the contrary, she believed it was a gesture of her goodwill, and it showed her good conduct.
Xu Cheng complained to herself silently as she saw Lina’s solemn face. No wonder she was Ling Tianya’s mother. These two had the same problem. They did not know a thing about being early.
Seeing that Xu Cheng could not understand what she was trying to say and acted as if she had been wronged, Lina knew that she was casting pearls before a hog.
Lina signed. She could not get back to sleep now. Since Xu Cheng was already here, she could not possibly chase her away. “Wait here for me. I’ll wash up, and we can have breakfast together.”
Finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, Lina went back to her bedroom. In the meantime, she called Eric, who was still sleeping, to come to her room.
Eric arrived at Lina’s room before long.
The doorbell rang. Xu Cheng opened the door. She saw Eric immediately. His eyes were as cold as ice.
Xu Cheng was going to complain to Eric about how Lina had lectured her while Lina was was.h.i.+ng up in her room; however, Eric was even more serious than Lina.
“Why did you come at this hour? What’s wrong with you?” Eric scolded Xu Cheng as soon as he opened his mouth.
