"You go back first! I’ll chat with your plump aunt for a while." Women all love to gossip, especially when someone brings up a topic they’re interested in. Zhou Lanfang was just about to take the opportunity to belittle Shen Mianmian, so why would she want to leave?
It’s over; there’s no hiding the fact that Shen Mianmian came first in the exams this time.
Zhou Lanfang, with a curl of her lip, said to the plump aunt, "My Siyu is indeed good at studying, the tuition has not been paid in vain. The other one, however! No matter how much tuition is paid, it’s all wasted money."
The plump aunt, thinking Zhou Lanfang was being falsely modest, said sourly, "Mianmian came first in three subjects, who doesn’t know? Why do you bother with these modest words?"
"First in three subjects?" Zhou Lanfang was stunned, "When did this happen? Who told you about it?"
The little wretch came first in three subjects?
How could that be possible?
"You couldn’t possibly not know, could you?" Seeing Zhou Lanfang’s blank face, the plump aunt also became somewhat confused, "Such a big deal, and your Mianmian didn’t tell you?"
Which child wouldn’t rush to tell their parents they came first, hoping for praise?
Upon seeing Zhou Lanfang not only unexcited but also with a drooping expression, she immediately understood.
No wonder the child didn’t say anything. Look, Zhou Lanfang now knows the news, and not only is she unhappy, her face looks like someone owes her millions.
Favoritism should never go that far.
"A blind cat ran into a dead rat, nothing worth talking about."
Seeing the plump aunt speaking in earnest, and not likely spouting nonsense, Zhou Lanfang suddenly became furious and lost the mood for idle chatter. She pushed her bicycle and started heading home, with Zhou Siyu trotting along after her. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
When they got home, Zhou Lanfang parked her bicycle and pulled Zhou Siyu back into the house.
"Siyu, tell me, what the hell is going on? How did that dead girl come first in three subjects? That’s not true, is it?"
If anyone should be first in three subjects, it should be her Siyu, not that little bastard!
"It’s true." At this stage, Zhou Siyu no longer hid the truth, her eyes reddening as she said, "Auntie, I really don’t understand how, but her studies are getting better by the day."
Although she suspected Shen Mianmian of cheating, it was impossible with English.
No matter how much she didn’t want to believe it, Shen Mianmian’s academic performance had indeed greatly improved and had surpassed her own.
She gnashed her molars, "This dead girl, it seems she’s been pretending all along, and only now showing off because high school entrance exams are coming."
A person’s grades can’t suddenly improve that much, the only explanation is she was pretending before.
They’d all been fooled by this little bastard.
"Auntie, now that her grades are better, Uncle is sure to choose to support her, what should I do?" Zhou Siyu’s tears streamed down.
She was genuinely worried about this.
Her aunt doted on her and wanted her to study, but her uncle would definitely favor his own daughter!
"Siyu, rest assured, no matter what, your aunt will make sure you get to study," Zhou Lanfang said, tenderly wiping Zhou Siyu’s tears, comforting her, "Even if it costs me my life, I won’t let that little bastard compete with you for university."
"But our family, we can’t afford to put two kids through university, can we?" Zhou Siyu sniffled, speaking very sensibly, "Otherwise, I just won’t go and let her have my spot."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Lanfang scolded, "Remember, never say you won’t go to school, no matter when."
Thinking of Shen Mianmian, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes, "I have plenty of ways to keep that little bastard out of high school and university. In our family, there can only be one university student, and it must be
