Chen Heng's closeness to Jiujiu made Meng Shijiang feel very uncomfortable. She was angry that Jiujiu had done so well, but she was also angry that Li Cheng had failed to live up to her expectations. She had spent so much money, but she had only managed to get into the top 500. She had looked at Jiujiu's score, and as long as Jiujiu's score remained the same, she would be able to choose any school in the country.
It was the first time that Li Cheng had been so jealous of someone. Thinking about how Jiujiu could choose a school that she would not be able to get into no matter how hard she worked, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
After looking at Jiujiu's results, Chen Heng naturally thought of Li Cheng, who he liked quite a bit.
Chen Heng looked at Li Cheng and asked, "Cheng Cheng, how did you do in the exam?"
As soon as Chen Heng asked this, half of Li Cheng's eyes became red. By the time she spoke, tears were falling like pearls from a broken necklace as she said in a choked voice, "Dad, I didn't do well this time."
After saying this, Li Cheng looked at Jiujiu and sobbed as she said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I've disappointed you."
His beloved child was crying because of a single sentence from him. Even though Chen Heng really wanted to know Li Cheng's results, under the attack of Li Cheng's tears, he did not continue to ask.
Chen Heng fell silent. As Li Cheng sobbed, she looked at Jiujiu. Seeing that Jiujiu's expression did not change at all, she gritted her teeth and inwardly cursed, "It's all that bitch Chen Xiao's fault. If she didn't do so well, why would I cry?"
Li Cheng inwardly cursed at Jiujiu as she thought about how she could quickly improve her results.
Li Cheng thought for a long time but could not think of a good idea.
She could ask the good students in her class, but no matter how good their results were, it was still a normal class. Even the top student's score was 70 or 80 points lower than Jiujiu's. If she asked them to teach her, they would at most be the same as her and would not be able to surpass Jiujiu.
If she could not find a classmate, she would find a teacher. However, not all teachers were willing to help their students. Some teachers would ask once or twice, but if they asked too many times, they would become impatient.
As such, the safest method was to find a class to tutor her.
The tutor's had at least a university degree, and they had to be much more knowledgeable than Jiujiu, who was only in her first year in high school.
Of course, at the same time, the tuition teacher's fee was also not cheap. Especially when Li Cheng wanted to surpass Jiujiu, the tuition teacher she found naturally needed to have a high educational background. The higher the educational background, the higher the fee.
Right now, Meng Shijiang and Li, Li Cheng's's weakness... they could ask for anything they wanted.
After thinking about it, there was only one solution, which was to find Jiujiu to tutor her.
There was a saying, 'learn from others and subdue them.'
She would treat it as learning from Jiujiu and then stepping on Jiujiu to surpass her.
Li Cheng knew that her relationship with Meng Shijiang and Jiujiu was very bad, so if she privately asked Jiujiu for help, Jiujiu would definitely refuse. As such, when she saw Jiujiu finish eating and prepare to leave, she asked, "Chen Xiao, can you help me with my lessons?"
Jiujiu, who had already pulled out the stool, paused when she heard Li Cheng's question and looked up at her.
Li Cheng had just cried, and her eyes were red like a rabbit's. At this moment, she looked straight at her without a trace of pleading in her eyes. Instead, there was a bit of excitement.
When Meng Shijiang heard that Li Cheng wanted Jiujiu to tutor her, she immediately said, "Yes, Chen Xiao, you and Cheng Cheng are sisters. You did so well this time, so help Cheng Cheng. In the future, when you two sisters get into the same university, you can take care of each other."
Chen Heng, who did not know about the grudges between Jiujiu, Meng Shijiang, and Li Cheng, heard Meng Shijiang's words and nodded. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "You can help Cheng Cheng."
Even though Chen Heng was asking for permission, his tone was commanding, which was quite uncomfortable to hear.
Jiujiu stood up and looked at Chen Heng, Meng Shijiang, and Li Cheng. She nodded and said, "I can help Li Cheng with her lessons, but as for whether Li Cheng can get into the same university as me, I can't guarantee it. After all, Qing University's admission score is very high."
This time, she was openly mocking Li Cheng's poor grades.
Li Cheng and Meng Shijiang were so angry that their faces turned pale. Although Chen Heng felt that Jiujiu's words were not pleasant to hear, when he thought about how good Jiujiu's grades were, he only looked at Jiujiu with disapproval and did not say anything.
After Jiujiu made Li Cheng and Meng Shijiang uncomfortable, she nodded to Chen Heng and returned to her room.
When Jiujiu returned to the room, Chen Heng looked at Meng Shijiang and her mother, whose expressions had changed because of Jiujiu's words, and explained in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao didn't mean that."
If it was before, Meng Shijiang would definitely put on an act and ask Chen Heng what she meant.
But now, Jiujiu knew that Li Cheng's school was bought by her, and Jiujiu had only gotten a high grade. She was still hoping that Jiujiu could help Li Cheng with her lessons, so she could only swallow her anger for now.
After Chen Heng finished explaining, seeing that Meng Shijiang and Li Cheng did not say anything, he nodded and went to the study.
After Chen Heng and Jiujiu left, Meng Shijiang looked down at Li Cheng, whose eyes were red from crying, and sighed. She wiped away Li Cheng's tears and said in a low voice, "A great man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. When your grades are better than hers, let's see if she can still be so arrogant."
After being encouraged by Meng Shijiang, Li Cheng's expression eased a little. She nodded and said "En" before returning to the house.
Meng Shijiang began to clean up the table.
At night, when Jiujiu was reading, someone knocked on the door and woke her up.
Jiujiu said, "Come in." She put the book on the table and looked at the door.
Jiujiu had thought that it would be Meng Shijiang or Li Cheng, but she did not expect it to be Chen Heng.
After marrying Meng Shijiang, this was the first time Chen Heng had come to Jiujiu's room.
As soon as he entered, Chen Heng's expression became somewhat gloomy.
Because Meng Shijiang was the lubricant in the middle, Chen Heng's relationship with Li Cheng was much better than his relationship with Jiujiu. As such, he had gone to Li Cheng's room many times.
Meng Shijiang dressed Li Cheng like a little princess, and Li Cheng's room was like a small castle. When Chen Heng saw the simple decorations in Jiujiu's room, he could not come back to his senses. This was especially so when he saw that the paint on Jiujiu's desk was peeling.
Even though he was not very close to Jiujiu, no matter what, Jiujiu was his only daughter. He had thought that Meng Shijiang would treat Jiujiu well. However, even though Meng Shijiang said that she treated Jiujiu well, she did not even prepare a good desk for Jiujiu.
