Instantly, Ms. Ma grew concerned. "Liulang, it would be best if those people weren't here. They would only disrupt your focused study. How irritating!"
Shao Liulang sneered, fully aware of what was happening.
Ms. Ma's worry deepened at his reaction.
"They look down on us, those seekers of attention! None of them are deserving of our presence. When you achieve success, they will come begging at our doorstep, and that's when I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."
"Liulang, ignore them. Don't let it bother you," Ms. Ma advised.
Shao Liulang suppressed his anger and irritation, his sneer growing darker. "They are nobody. I don't care about them in the slightest."
With that, he turned around, entered his room, and slammed the door shut.
Ms. Ma and Second Uncle exchanged concerned and worried glances.
They sighed and continued to curse the villagers under their breath.
