[ON HOLD] (1)The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy

148-150

Chapter 148: Blush

Ye Ci was not in the mood. She remained silent but followed Su Yuan.

Ning Li carried her bag and glanced at her watch before deciding to follow Su Yuan as well.

…

The study room on the second floor.

Ye Ming was not home yet, so only Su Yuan and her daughters were there.

Ye Ci sat there with a straight back, looking nervous.

Meanwhile, Ning Li lounged on the couch lazily.

Su Yuan glanced at Ye Ci and sighed.

“Lil Ci, you did poorly in your midterm. May I know why?”

Ye Ci shook her head.

“I just happened to miss the mark this time, that’s all.”

Su Yuan did not believe her.

She had been the girl’s stepmother for many years now. Other than the resistance that she had felt during the early years, Ye Ci had always been an obedient girl.

She had not needed to worry about Ye Ci’s studies before.

Ye Ci doing poorly in the midterm was not normal.

“Lil Ci, if you are facing any problems, you can tell me. If it’s the pressure, talk to me. I can share the burden with you,” Su Yuan said softly.

“Is it because of Lil Cheng…”

“It’s not because of Lil Cheng.”

Ye Ci stopped Su Yuan and forced a smile on her face.

“It’s just that I failed to adjust my mindset and did not plan my schedule well. As a result, I missed many chapters for the midterm. It won’t happen again.”

Despite her saying so, Su Yuan felt bad for the girl.

“It’s my fault. You are in your last year of high school. You are already busy with the competitive Physics class and yet I still asked you to tutor Lil Cheng.”

Ye Ci claimed it was not Ye Cheng’s fault but Su Yuan knew that the boy had taken up a lot of her time and energy.

She had thought Ye Ci could handle the burden but she was wrong.

“Mom, please don’t. He has nothing to do with this,” Ye Ci said as she shook her head.

Su Yuan did not argue with her on this.

The sister and brother pair had always been close, Ye Ci would never blame Ye Cheng for her poor results.

However, Ye Ci would have to bear the consequences.

“I’m looking for a new tutor for Lil Cheng so you can focus on your studies now.”

Su Yun then glanced over at Ning Li with a conflicted look.

She knew how Ning Li had fared in the midterm.

She had been shocked and dubious when Ning Li had gotten first place in the monthly test because she had seen the girl’s files before she came to Yunzhou.

However she looked at it, Ning Li did not look like a straight-A student.

However, Ning Li had done it a second time and placed first in the whole city.

Judging from Geng Haifan’s reaction, it was not difficult for Su Yuan to tell that Second High was treating Ning Li as one of its best students.

Ning Li’s results were real, which caused her to have mixed feelings.
