CHAPTER 1168: CHAPTER 1169: THE SISTER OF THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER 11

Zhang Yu continued working through her exercises without glancing at Liang Yan, not hearing any movement or footsteps from behind for quite a while.

Zhang Yu kept solving problems without turning around.

Liang Yan stared at Zhang Yu’s back for a long time, her gaze complex.

Previously, she had heard her sister say that Liu Xia and Liang Qiang’s schoolwork was not good and was worried about their future as the eldest daughter of the family.

But she was merely worried, not daring to bring up the matter of tutoring classes. Even without financial separation from Zhang Dong, she wouldn’t dare ask; the tutoring fees for two kids are no small sum.

Later, upon hearing Liang Li propose Zhang Yu tutor the two children, she naturally had no objections; after all, it wouldn’t cost anything and would improve Liu Xia and Liang Qiang’s grades.

She felt it was just Zhang Yu spending a little bit of time weekly, which wasn’t a big issue.

But thinking now, whether Liang Li and the others proposed Zhang Yu tutor Liu Xia and the others, was it really to ruin Zhang Yu.

Liang Yan knew that even with Zhang Hao’s efforts, the chance of him getting into a prestigious university was slim, assuming he gets into college at all.

The only one who could bring pride to the family was Zhang Yu, who had hope of getting into a prestigious university.

According to Zhang Yu, if her two children didn’t get into a prestigious university, but Liang Qiang and Liu Xia did with excellent grades, her place in the family...

Even though she currently had a successful career and family, envied by all her relatives, thinking she was doing well.

Some things are truly hard to forget; she remembers how her parents ignored her when she was young.

If she hadn’t had good grades, and if her younger brother wasn’t a studious material, the family certainly wouldn’t have let her attend high school and then go to college.

No way, she absolutely can’t return to the old days, nor let Liang Hao and Liang Li have another chance to oppress her.

Liang Yan was determined; even if her parents intervened, she wouldn’t relent.

Anyway, since Zhang Yu disagreed and Zhang Dong sided with his daughter, she could do nothing.

Yes, just like this, upon thinking it over, Liang Yan finally turned and left, needing to think.

Upon hearing movement from behind, Zhang Yu let out a sigh of relief; after all, having someone standing behind without walking around really worried her.

Although the chances of Liang Yan resorting to violence were low, Zhang Yu was truly worried; should it come to that, it would be unbearable.

Zhang Yu continued working through her exercises, aware that Liang Yan had plenty of grievances against the Liang Family.

If the Liang Family could behave properly and stop causing trouble, it would be the best, but if they insisted on causing trouble, Liang Yan’s grievances would only continue to grow.

Whenever at home, Zhang Yu always focused solely on her exercises; as for housework, it was something she absolutely couldn’t do.

Her current focus was building a solid foundation, so she could gradually advance in high school.

Liang Li put down her phone, her expression twisted with anger; she never thought such a tiny matter would make Zhang Dong call and reprimand her.

This made her very upset, so she picked up the phone to call Liang Yan to share how aggrieved she felt.

Ideally, Liang Yan would confront Zhang Dong, causing a quarrel between the couple, which would be great; why should she earn such a meager salary?

Her husband was so ineffective, with an annual income less than Zhang Dong’s bonus for completing a casual task.

Although Zhang Hao’s academic performance wasn’t great, he was handsome, popular among girls, with promising parents worrying nothing about his future.

Zhang Yu excelled academically, leaving her future undoubtedly bright.

As for her child, Liu Xia, neither beautiful nor academically impressive, other than being sweet-tongued, finding a good marriage wouldn’t be easy.

When Liang Li thought of Liang Yan wanting to continue suppressing her in future life, her mood turned bad.

No way, Zhang Yu mustn’t succeed; if she did...

Plus, she had her eye on a new dress, hoping Liang Yan would buy it for her, thinking about it made her mood instantly jubilant.

Liang Li picked up the phone again, calling Liang Yan to relay everything Zhang Dong said during his scolding.

Patiently, Liang Yan listened to Liang Li before helplessly stating: Little Li, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s that I just scolded your brother-in-law earlier, and he accused me of having only the Liang Family in my mind.

Recalling Zhang Dong’s recent reprimands made Liang Yan angry: You don’t even know, he said if I hinder Little Yu’s studies, he’d divorce me.

Liang Li, shocked at Zhang Dong’s words, was initially startled but soon delighted; divorce sounded grand, awesome, wondering how Liang Yan would boast in front of her afterward.

Though Liang Li restrained herself, the amusement in her voice couldn’t be hidden.

In earlier times, Liang Yan wouldn’t have thought about these things, never noticing them.

Yet today, Zhang Yu’s words got her pondering and becoming observant, leading to discovery.

Already feeling incensed, hearing her sister’s attitude made Liang Yan’s mood plummet, her anger rising furiously.

Liang Yan: Liang Li, just for your sake, I got chewed out by your brother-in-law, and you didn’t console me. Future issues from your home, don’t involve me.

Liang Yan: Good things never fall to me, it’s always the bad stuff.

Irate, Liang Yan hung up abruptly, sitting on the sofa, staring off.

Zhang Yu happened to come out for water, noticing Liang Yan sitting motionless on the sofa.

Alright, evidently Liang Li’s call had upset her.

Zhang Yu went to the kitchen for water, then returned to her room to continue with exercises.

Upon hearing the noise, Liang Yan watched Zhang Yu coming and going; just as she was about to leave the small room, "Is it hot in there?"

Hot? Zhang Yu chuckled; in such a tiny space without air conditioning, asking if she felt hot, was absurd. "Hot, unless you install an air conditioner?"

Zhang Yu casually lowered the air conditioner’s temperature, then switched on the one over the shoe cabinet, ensuring the room wouldn’t be overly warm.

Sensing Zhang Yu’s hostility in her tone, Liang Yan awkwardly suggested, "Why don’t you just..."

"Study in the living room." Going to the study was impossible; Zhang Dong and Zhang Hao would need it.

Zhang Yu laughed; the home office was vacant, yet not a word about her going there to study; such sincerity.

Shaking her head, Zhang Yu replied, "People come and go in the living room; it’s truly inconvenient."

"Besides, my spot is perfect; whenever I want to read, the big air-conditioning in the living room reaches me, keeping it cool here."

"Also, Mom, set the temperature to the lowest, otherwise it wouldn’t be cool here." The original one followed instructions; she wouldn’t.

"Electric bills are money." Liang Yan retorted irritably.

Summer hadn’t arrived yet, and the electricity bill was expensive; it was frightening to consider how much it’d amount to in summer.

Regarding electricity bills, Zhang Yu could only say, "Four rooms at home: two bedrooms, one study, one dressing room, but no room for me."

"What would people think if they heard about it." Zhang Yu coolly returned to the small room, "I’ll mention to Dad about getting an air cooler here, at least to keep cooler."

Right, come winter, a heater would be necessary here.

Electric bills? Those are adults’ concerns, not hers.
