Chapter 39

She was so young, but she already had so many problems.

Bo Yunli accepted the offer indifferently.

Seeing Bo Zhan go to greet the other guests with great satisfaction, Su Ye also shot a glance at Bo Yunli. She didn’t want to take the blame for her niece at all, and she didn’t feel that she was in the wrong. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Do we even have a bad reason? If we say that you drank too much and we argued, wouldn’t we be able to smooth things over? Why did you have to go and say that?”

Bo Yunli’s gaze lingered on her exquisite face for a moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, “I liked it.”

Seeing that she was furious, Bo Yunli held back the corners of his lips and walked towards the study.

Only he knew that his grandfather would not let go of anyone who wanted to hurt him, and his grandfather was also certain that he would not speak carelessly about matters between men and women. Therefore, this was the only reason left that could help Su Ye get through this in her own muddling way.

After all, he told himself that he only wanted to help Su Yi so his grandfather would not relapse.

It was a bit far-fetched.

After the birthday banquet, the next day would be the start of school for the students of Jingdou First High School.

Su Ye sat down at the dining table on time. She was dressed in loose blue and white sportswear, which made her look pretty and young.

Su Xing, who was preparing to go to preschool, carried a small schoolbag that matched his elder sister’s bag. He sat upright beside his elder sister and gave her a thumbs up. “Su Ye, you’re too amazing.”

Su Xing also raised his eyebrows at her. His sister looked stunning in her school uniform.

Su Xing said softly, “I’m not talking about the school uniform. I’m talking about yesterday. Last night, mom and I bumped into Rong Ruo when she came home. Her face was so ugly.”

As they spoke, Xu Huanying came down from upstairs. She took a sip of her coffee and shifted her gaze away from the beauty magazine she was reading. She looked at Su Xing first. “Xing Xing, you still have an hour before school. What are you doing down here so early?”

Su Xing smiled shyly. “I am going to send my sister off.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Huanying heard this and looked at Su Xing. “Oh right, a few days ago, your teacher called to say that it’s already your third year of high school. You have your college entrance exam today. I forgot to tell you.”

Su Xing also looked at her. It was really the worst timing. Why didn’t she just tell her that the college entrance exam was today?

However, even if she did, she wouldn’t have gone through the revision.

Xu Huanying cut a piece of bread and put it into her mouth. Her eyes were still fixed on the magazine. “I don’t have any hope for you to do well in it by studying. If you’re a failure, then so be it. If you marry Yunli as soon as possible, you won’t be a regular failure.”

Su Xing said nothing before he spoke up. “What happens if you’re not a regular failure? Then what kind of failure is that?”

Xu Huanying said, “If I can marry Yunli, I’d be the young mistress of an asshole student with a net worth of over a hundred billion!”

Su Ye said nothing.

Perhaps it was because she had seen Rong Ruo’s defeated expression yesterday, Xu Huanying was in an extremely good mood today and even cracked a joke.

Thinking about how Lu Wenbin had mentioned the term “asshole student” before, Su Ye raised her eyes. “How many marks do I have to score to not be called an asshole student anymore?”

Xu Huanying rolled her eyes. “Fine then. I’ve already informed Director Liu of your teaching department. As long as you can get 40 marks in every subject, they’ll let you graduate. If you can meet these standards, you won’t be called an underachiever anymore.”

Su Ye lifted up her schoolbag. “Deal.”

At Rong family house, Qi Yu came to pick Rong Ruo up for school as promised.

Although he was as considerate as he usually was along the way, Rong Ruo could feel that Qi Yu was still blaming her for yesterday’s incident.

She had finally come to her senses after a sleepless night last night. Bo Yunli must have taken her grandfather’s illness into consideration and wronged her. He had also covered up Su Ye’s scandal. It was also her fault for striking at the wrong time.

Since this matter was not over yet, she could not afford to make things difficult between her and Qi Yu. At this moment, she glanced at Qi Yu’s hand that was placed over the car’s gear and slowly clenched her fists…
