Chapter 16 - 015: Academics
Zhao Guodong is just like a child; after a fight, he acts as if nothing happened. Hearing Wu Mengyi’s words, he scratched his head and laughed, and that was the end of it.
Over at the residential building, Bai Xue heard a knock at the door. After pushing it open, she saw it was her eldest daughter and her face showed displeasure. "Where’s your sister? She went to find you, so why did you come back without her?"
"How would I know she went out to find me?" Ye Ling retorted and walked around her mother into the house.
She took off her scarf, changed into slippers, and went straight inside without lingering for a second.
Bai Xue was too angry to argue further. She poked her head out to look; seeing from afar her younger daughter walking towards the house, she quickly left a gap in the door and rushed into the kitchen.
In the East Room, Ye Ling closed the door as soon as she returned. Old Mrs. Ye sat up with a mysterious smile. "Are you upset with your mom? Show me the clothes you bought."
This old lady.
Ye Ling smiled and sat on the bed. "It’s just a gray one, it’s in the living room. I’ll show you after dinner."
The clothes were brought back by her mother, so Ye Ling didn’t intend to go back to the living room.
Old Mrs. Ye was sharp. "Lingzi, are you hiding something from Grandma?"
Her granddaughter looked troubled; it was the first time Old Mrs. Ye had seen her like this.
"Grandma, Mom says the family can’t afford to support two students. She wants me to stop after junior high and only support my sister." Although she didn’t want to call her ’sister’, Ye Ling didn’t want to appear too cold.
Old Mrs. Ye was instantly furious, and her voice rose involuntarily. "What? They have this idea? Why didn’t they dare tell me? Don’t worry, as long as you want to study, Grandma will support you even if I have to sell everything. Look, your dad can’t come home because of work, but after the New Year, Grandma will talk to him."
