My Little Ancestor Is Sweet And Wild ( Part-1 )

Chapter 75

Was she happy?

All this only proved that the girl lied to her before.

Was she proud?

Ning Li had lived with her grandmother before she moved in and everyone knew it.

Even though Ning Li was doing great in her studies now, Su Yuan would not be able to claim the credit. People might even call her heartless for abandoning such a good daughter.

The better Ning Li was, the harsher the situation was for Su Yuan. Su Yuan had abandoned her daughter without a second thought back then. No matter how she or anyone else looked at it, it had been a huge mistake.

Su Yuan knew it was inappropriate for her to think like that, but she could not help it.

Ye Ci was the girl that she had raised but Ning Li's arrival had outshone Ye Ci in every single aspect.

It felt like the effort that Su Yuan had spent on Ye Ci was nothing more than a joke.

"Ning Li, Mr. Geng told me today that you've agreed to help Lil Ci with her homework?" she asked.

The moment she asked the question, the room fell silent.

Ye Ci curled her fists tightly. She felt insulted again.

Ning Li nonchalantly played with her phone. She looked at her mother when she heard the question before glancing over at Ye Ci. She noticed that Ye Ci was looking tense, so she smiled.

"Ah, right. Yes."

Ning Li nodded.

Su Yuan sighed a breath of relief.

Ning Li did not want to tutor Ye Cheng but she had agreed to help Ye Ci.

It was strange but as long as it could help Ye Ci with her studies, it was worth a try.

"If you agree, why don't you start today-"

"Mom." Ye Ci said suddenly. She sounded a little stiff.

"We can take it slowly. It's not appropriate for me to disturb Sister Ning Li's studies. I'll try to rearrange my schedule to fit Sister Ning Li's timetable. You don't have to worry about it."

As though she suddenly noticed that her tone was a little inappropriate, she took a breath and said, "I'm a little tired today. I want to have a rest."

Su Yuan patted the girl's head.

"Okay, the midterm is over now. Go have a good rest."

Ye Ci nodded.

"Thank you, mom."

Ning Li got up. She raised a brow at the two of them and said, "Let's take a rain check then."

She was fine with the time. It would be up to Ye Ci as to whether or not she would deign to lower herself and acknowledge that she was not as good as Ning Li.

Then, Ning Li left the room.

.....

Back in her room, Ning Li's phone buzzed as soon as she put her bag down.

She had a look and noticed that it was a video call from Lu Huaiyu.

When she remembered that he had not replied to her message all day, she hesitated slightly before answering it.

The video was blurry and it was difficult for Ning Li to see it clearly.

She moved the phone closer to her face.

The camera shook for a moment before a beautiful collarbone entered Ning Li's sight.

The camera moved up all of a sudden. The man's Adam's apple and defined jawline were visible.
