Chapter 145: Doesn’t Seem Welcoming

After meeting Su Yuan a few times, Geng Haifan could tell that the mother treated both her daughters differently.

He would no longer contact Su Yuan about Ning Li anymore, but Ye Ci was different.

Ever since Ning Li had transferred to Second High, Ye Ci had been offering a helping hand to her sister.

Even though he had heard the rumors that the sisters were not close out of the public eye, it was to be expected since they had not spent much time together.

Recently, Geng Haifan had noticed that many students had approached Ning Li to ask for her help. Ning Li would then patiently help them with their homework.

If Ning Li could help other students, she could definitely help Ye Ci, her sister.

They were family after all, even if it was just in name.

Moreover, Ye Ci had a strong foundation, and teaching her would not take up too much of Ning Li’s time.

Maybe the girls would become closer if they spent more time together.

Geng Haifan believed it was a good idea, and did not notice the change of expression on Ye Ci’s face when she heard the suggestion.

Ning Li raised her brow slightly when she heard the suggestion as well, and glanced over at Ye Ci.

Ye Ci had never felt so embarrassed before.

She had never thought that she would be standing in the same office as Ning Li and that Geng Haifan would ask Ning Li to tutor her.

Ning Li smiled and said, “Sure.”

Ye Ci curled her fists tightly. She felt like a rock had just dropped onto her chest and suffocated her.

The tone of Ning Li’s voice sounded soft but in Ye Ci’s ears, it was full of mockery and ridicule.

She took a deep breath and smiled stiffly.

“Mr. Geng, Sister Ning Li is quite busy. I don’t think it’s appropriate to take up that much of her time. What if—”

Geng Haifan smiled and stopped her. “It’s okay. Ye Ci, you don’t need to feel bad about it. Ning Li said yes, didn’t she? Besides, Ning Li will only need to spare a little of her time. It won’t affect her much.”

Geng Haifan was confident because of Ning Li’s results.

If Ning Li could pass the monthly test and midterm exam with flying colors, most of the homework and extra-curricular activities would not add much usefulness to her anymore.

She was also attending the competitive Physics class while maintaining her usual studies, both of which she handled skillfully and with ease.

If not for Ning Li’s result, Geng Haifan would not have suggested this idea.

Ye Ci felt embarrassed and scared.

Geng Haifan might not think his words were inappropriate but to Ye Ci, it was the worst news.

He had indirectly told Ye Ci to drop out of the competitive Physics class, yet he asked Ning Li to spare some time to tutor her instead.

The difference in treatment showed clearly that Geng Haifan did not look at the girls evenly.

Ye Ci had always been the smartest girl since she was young. She had excelled at everything until Ning Li’s arrival.

She paled in comparison since then.
