CHAPTER 1166: CHAPTER 1167: THE SISTER OF THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER 9

Liang Yan watched Zhang Yu return to her room, her face twisted with anger.

Even spending money to send Zhang Hao to cram school, it was quite a sum, but whether it was effective or not, she really wasn’t sure.

She didn’t expect Zhang Hao to get outstanding grades, just to be able to get into a key high school, even if he could just get into any high school would be fine.

But now, she’s really worried, as if it’s an impossible task.

With her hands clenched into fists, "Why, why is that brat’s grades so good while Xiao Hao’s aren’t."

If she could swap their grades, no matter the cost, she would pay it.

When Zhang Yu returned to her room, she was pleased; as long as either Zhang Dong or Liang Yan or Zhang Hao were in a bad mood, Zhang Yu’s mood would soar.

In her room, Zhang Yu picked up a math workbook and started looking through it. She spent some time online and found out that studying math could lead to aerospace research opportunities.

Zhang Yu thought this suited her quite well, and most importantly, USTC’s math major was quite reputable in the country.

B University’s math major was also impressive, but to get into B University, without accidents, she would have to take the college entrance exam in senior year.

For USTC, as long as she excelled and passed the assessments, she could take the college entrance exam in sophomore year and join USTC’s youth class.

For Zhang Yu, going to college a year early would allow her to escape this family sooner.

Zhang Hao, in senior year, had made quite a fuss at home over so-called love.

Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but Zhang Hao and the others would vent their anger on me when they got mad.

Now that they won’t be attending the same high school, Zhang Hao likely won’t enter high school, so he won’t meet that person from the past.

But given Zhang Hao’s ever-restless heart, new romances are sure to appear.

For safety’s sake, better not stay home stirring up trouble, to avoid affecting innocent parties.

Zhang Yu searched online for a long time but couldn’t find the requirements for taking the college entrance exam early, so helplessly she could only focus on studying hard after entering high school.

She thought about it, Zhang Yu felt tremendous pressure.

Liang Yan stewed silently in the living room for a long time, desperately wanting to go over and make Zhang Yu agree to tutor her cousins.

But she really didn’t dare say it; Zhang Yu had said if pressured, she’d go to Zhang Dong.

Liang Yan couldn’t let Zhang Yu go to Zhang Dong, though they spoke now, their relationship hadn’t mended, and finances remained separate.

Knowing her actions, Liang Yan didn’t dare imagine how angrily Zhang Dong would react.

Alas, Liang Yan sighed again; the Zhang Yu from before was so obedient, doing whatever she was asked.

Now this girl, she retorts when she wishes, completely uncaring about adult feelings.

Recalling how she’d once boasted in front of her siblings, reassuring them all would be fine.

Now, Zhang Yu simply wouldn’t cooperate, what to do?

As Liang Yan wrestled with her worries, her phone rang; glancing down, she found it was her own sister calling, causing her head to throb.

In the past, receiving calls from her sister made Liang Yan ecstatic, she would chat for ages.

Now, she didn’t dare take the call, what to do?

Not answering was not an option, Liang Yan knew her sister Liang Li fought for what she wanted.

Knowing the call’s intent, she really couldn’t complete the task.

Liang Yan thought for a moment and came up with a good idea: let Zhang Yu take this call.

If she agreed, none of this would happen.

Yes, since that girl doesn’t want to tutor her siblings, let her deal with it.

Zhang Yu was happily tackling problems when suddenly a phone appeared before her, displaying Liang Li’s name.

Got it, likely coming to raise a fuss; the Liang Family could flatter anyone in the Zhang Family but would never flatter Zhang Yu, rather they looked down on her.

Even Zhang Hao’s later girlfriend was amused by them, but Zhang Yu never received such treatment.

Without seeing Liang Yan’s expression, she could tell she was waiting for her to make a fool of herself.

Zhang Yu answered the call: Hello.

Liang Li had been waiting impatiently for ages, and when the call finally connected, she heard a mere hello.

Anger suddenly flared: Sis, you finally answered my call. Haven’t seen you in days, and now I see you’re keeping distance.

Liang Li’s tone was always so curt, implying Liang Yan had made good, looking down on her little sister living a modest life.

Zhang Yu smiled at Liang Yan, the latter blushing; after years of sisterhood, she was used to Liang Li’s tone.

Now, she’d made Zhang Yu hear, making Liang Yan feel embarrassed and regret throwing the phone to Zhang Yu like that.

Fearing her sister might say shocking things again, Liang Yan called into the phone: Liang Li, it’s your sister Liang Yan. Zhang Yu answered earlier.

Liang Yan: Didn’t you want to ask about tutoring? Just ask Little Yu.

Hearing that it was Zhang Yu on the line, Liang Li became worried.

Recalling this girl’s usual style, she felt at ease.

Liang Li wouldn’t apologize or lower her stance, instead giving Zhang Yu a stern lecture.

Zhang Yu placed the phone aside; if someone wanted to lecture, let them, she focused on her problems.

If someone wanted to waste phone bills, let her go ahead.

After a long tirade, Liang Li felt her throat dry, picked up her cup to drink water.

Then she realized the call was her’s to Liang Yan, meaning she bore the cost.

Her expression suddenly soured; it would cost a lot, huff, all Zhang Yu’s fault.

Liang Li would never admit it was her fault, continuing to lecture Zhang Yu harshly.

Liang Li: By the way, Zhang Yu, has your mom told you?

Zhang Yu kept working through problems, occasionally responding with a huh, letting those wanting to relish in their role as educator have their chance.

Liang Yan watched from behind, clearly unhappy, feeling Zhang Yu was belittling them, suddenly having a thought.

Wasn’t this girl always fooling them before? Liang Yan planned to chastise Zhang Yu after hanging up.

Finally satisfied, Liang Li remembered unfinished business: Your mom says you’re smart, and your siblings aren’t doing well, you can tutor them a bit.

Zhang Yu was straightforward: No time.

Liang Li, thinking Zhang Yu would never refuse, especially after scolding her harshly, was taken aback when the girl outright refused.

Liang Li was unhappy: How can you be so selfish; you are their sister.

Zhang Yu: I am their sister, but do you think they acknowledge me as one?

Zhang Yu: When happy, they call my name; when unhappy, it’s just hey, not even a name.
