Chapter 121: Why Are You Here

Ning Li looked up towards the second floor.

Ye Ci disappeared into her room.

Ning Li smiled and said, “If I remember correctly, that was Ye Ci’s responsibility. If it isn’t affecting her studies, just let her continue.”

Su Yuan’s words were stuck in her throat. She did not know how best to continue the conversation.

She could not just come out and say that Ning Li had it better than Ye Ci because of her results.

If she said that, she would be indirectly acknowledging that Ning Li was better than Ye Ci.

Su Yuan rephrased her words and said, “Lil Ci has her own things to do. Besides, you are quite free and Lil Cheng is also your little brother. Spend more time with him and maybe you can get him to like you.”

Ning Li pondered Su Yuan’s words and found them amusing. She even burst out in laughter.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. That boy said his only sister is Ye Ci and I don’t need to make him like me.”

Su Yuan started to feel anxious. “Lil Cheng is still a young boy. He was just being impulsive back then. You are 7 years older than he is. How could you be so calculative with a little boy?”

“It’s not that I want to be calculative. I’m rejecting this for his own good. He dislikes me. If I tutor him, are you sure he will listen to me?” The smile on Ning Li’s face faded slightly.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve talked to him about this matter. Besides, you are his sister, his real sister. If he doesn’t listen to you, you can just set him straight.”

Su Yuan tried to be as convincing as possible.

Ning Li silently scoffed.

She did not want to handle the troublesome boy.

Su Yuan’s words might sound promising now but if something really happened, the woman would surely stand with Ye Cheng.

Ning Li would never forget that she was in the Ye family.

Ye Cheng had been pampered and spoiled for the past 10 years and would only listen to his father, Ye Ming. The boy never really took anyone seriously. He was a very egocentric person.

Even if Ning Li devoted herself to tutoring Ye Cheng, she could not stop the boy if he chose not to learn or even ruin the session.

She did not have time for the spoiled brat.

“I think it would be better if you found someone else for the job. I can’t do it.”

Ning Li then walked away.

Su Yuan did not expect Ning Li to reject her request so quickly. There were no grounds for any further negotiation.

“Ning Li! Ning Li!”

Ning Li had started walking upstairs when she suddenly paused and turned around.

She said, “If you really want me to tutor that boy, sure. I’ll do it as long as you talk to my teacher and apply for leave on my behalf. Or better yet, you can talk to Mr. Zhou. If he’s okay with it, I’ll drop out of the competitive Physics class just to tutor Ye Cheng.”

Su Yuan was shocked and furious at the same time.

Ning Li was doing this on purpose.

Ever since she had gotten first place in the monthly test, Geng Haifan and the other teachers, especially Zhou Fei, had taken notice of her and thought highly of her.
