Ye Tianxin still didn't know that this "brother" was Li Qingcang. She asked, "What happened after that?"
"After that, he chose to stay at Capital University. He said that Capital University belongs to Hua nation!"
Jing Zhichen's words filled Ye Tianxin with pride.
"I really want to get to know this brother of yours. He's my idol!"
Jing Zhichen cursed in his heart. Don't you already know each other?
"In the future, I'll find time to introduce you to each other!"
On the other hand, Aunt Zhu had already prepared dinner when Ye Youran returned home.
Ye Youran was a senior in high school, so her food had to be nutritious. There were four dishes and a soup on the table.
Aunt Zhu was watching television. When she heard Ye Youran enter, she quickly turned it off. "Youran, are the results of the mock exam out yet?"
"Yes!" Ye Youran announced her score.
Aunt Zhu made a mental comparison. Wow, she's improved quite a bit!
"Our Ranran is amazing. She scored so well, unlike that little vixen Ye Tianxin. She must be at the bottom again, right?"
Aunt Zhu was pleased with herself. She thought to herself, I'll go and provoke that old hag later.
When Ye Youran heard Ye Tianxin's name, she instantly lost her appetite. She hesitated for a moment. She didn't tell her mother how many marks Ye Tianxin had scored!
After lunch, Ye Youran went to take a nap. Aunt Zhu was worried that she would wake Ye Youran up if she washed the dishes too loudly, so she took a few eggs and leisurely made her way to Grandma's courtyard.
"Hey, Auntie, your guests have left …"
Aunt Zhu walked in with a basket. She didn't see Jing Zhichen and Ye Tianxin, so she assumed that Jing Zhichen had left.
When Grandma saw Aunt Zhu's loud voice, she said, "Lower your voice. Tianxin is still sleeping!"
"Auntie, I don't want to nag you, but why are you so protective of Ye Tianxin, a fatherless child? When has she ever made you worry? The results of the mock exam are out, right? Do you know how many points Ye Tianxin scored? It's just a small score. What a waste of the money you've spent on her all these years … "
Grandma looked at Auntie Zhu. "Are you saying that Youran is good in every way, but our Tianxin isn't?"
Auntie Zhu sat on the bamboo chair and stared at the new gadgets in this shabby house. She said, "Auntie, you said it yourself. I never said it. Auntie, I heard that you have a grandnephew. Why didn't I hear about it?"
"That was during the famine. My sister and I were placed in two different families. We only got in touch with each other a while ago. What's wrong?"
Auntie Zhu thought that this old woman's life was really good.
So many people died during the famine back then, but she didn't starve to death. Now, she even had a rich relative?
"Auntie, why didn't you tell me that you were sick? If you had told me, I might not have any other skills, but I could have made you a few bowls of rice! See, I told you. You can't count on Tianxin in the future. You'll still need us to take care of you when you're old. "
Grandma said gently, "There's no need for that. Our Tianxin is quite good. You should teach your Youran well. I heard that Youran didn't beat Tianxin this time. You can't be angry with the child. It's an exam, so it's inevitable that she'll perform poorly …"
Grandma's words instantly silenced Auntie Zhu. "Auntie, no matter how protective you are of Tianxin, you can't spout nonsense. Our Youran came in fourth place in school."
