Chapter 882: Chapter 883 Toxic Fatherly Love 15

Wang Lei didn’t expect Zhang Yu to voluntarily work on the workbook.

Taking the workbook handed over, she pretended to ask casually, "Was it recommended by Liu Hui?"

"No, my grandmother was hospitalized, so I was accompanying her at the hospital and did problem sets to pass the time. After finishing a few workbooks, I had nothing else to do, so I went to a bookstore."

"I heard someone say this one was good, so I flipped through it and thought it was decent, and decided to buy it and work on it."

"It’s actually quite good." Zhang Yu knew Wang Lei didn’t like Liu Hui and always said he didn’t truly like the original owner of the workbook.

Unfortunately, the original owner was deluded and thought, because of Liu Hui’s instigation, that Wang Lei liked Liu Hui, which is why she said that.

Zhang Yu knew the original owner was close to Liu Hui at that time, but hadn’t been completely brainwashed, so she could comfortably break up with her first love.

Wang Lei looked up at Zhang Yu for a long time. She knew Liu Hui had tutored someone several times during the summer break, and every time they met, they couldn’t stop praising that person.

Initially, she thought at today’s meeting she would again praise how great Liu Hui was, but surprisingly, she didn’t even mention him. Could it be that there was a disagreement?

Curious as she was, Wang Lei didn’t ask.

Liu Hui stood at the classroom door, looking inside. Seeing Zhang Yu and Wang Lei chatting happily, his mood soured.

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu," Liu Hui called out loudly.

The group was originally chatting about how they spent their summer vacation. Hearing the voice, they glanced toward the door and then at Zhang Yu.

If it were the original owner, she would be embarrassed and run out to greet him under everyone’s gaze.

Now with a different mindset, Zhang Yu, without any reaction, stood up and walked toward the outside of the classroom.

As for expressions like blushing or shyness, they were absolutely non-existent.

"Did you need something?" Zhang Yu asked, standing at the classroom door, looking puzzled.

"I visited your house several times and realized you weren’t home." Liu Hui said with a seemingly concerned demeanor.

"My grandma’s health isn’t good; she’s in the hospital." Zhang Yu knew Liu Hui must have already heard something from Feng Min.

"Is she doing better now?" Liu Hui asked with concern.

"She’s okay, just needs to recuperate in the later stage," Zhang Yu spoke nonchalantly, "By the way, was there something else you needed?"

"I haven’t seen you in quite a while and didn’t know how your studies were going." Liu Hui didn’t understand why Zhang Yu’s attitude had become so indifferent.

Could it be that some other boy was pursuing her unknown to him? Liu Hui couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Even though he doesn’t like Zhang Yu, he also didn’t want others pursuing her—which would affect accessing money through her.

"It’s okay, I’ve been doing workbooks on my own and it feels manageable," Zhang Yu saw the nervousness on Liu Hui’s face, "I’m not living over there anymore; I moved to another place."

"So, no trouble for you," Zhang Yu thanked Liu Hui again for his previous help.

What’s the situation? Liu Hui thought by slightly showing her distress, mentioning his mother’s illness and how much money was spent, plus the custom-made problem sets for her, she would show some reaction.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t even give them a chance to converse more and straightforwardly stated there was no trouble, "How are we troublesome to each other?"

The original owner had confused him with similarly ambiguous statements, making him think she liked him, and here she was doing it again.

Zhang Yu wasn’t about to indulge him, "What’s our relationship?" she asked, puzzled.

"You tutored me, and I bought some workbooks, and also, with your mom’s poor health, I bought medicine and supplements."

"I know you’re embarrassed to say it, but you shouldn’t talk so vaguely and mislead people."

"My grades are bad, the teacher won’t make a big deal out of me, but it’s different for you, your grades are good, and the teacher has high hopes for you."

"Your parents too, they all hope you can get into a good university."

"If your grades slip, I can’t bear that responsibility." This person didn’t do well in the college entrance exams because their level wasn’t that good in the first place.

To cover up, of course, they blamed everything on the original person and gaslighted them in all sorts of ways.

This time, Zhang Yu has decided she won’t be taking the blame for this.

"Grandma also said, at that time she’ll hire a college student to tutor me." Li Cuifen had mentioned it before, but the original person opposed it, so it was never discussed further.

Yesterday, Li Cuifen brought it up again, and after thinking it over, Zhang Yu felt that was a good idea.

What? Liu Hui didn’t expect that Zhang Yu would actually consider hiring a tutor.

With this development, what’s left for him to do? Liu Hui knows he shouldn’t act wilfully at this time, especially since Zhang Yu has money.

Considering the future, he should back down and try to make Zhang Yu happy, but he has always acted superior in front of her.

Suddenly having to humble himself in front of Zhang Yu, he wasn’t pleased.

"Fine, since you’ve hired a tutor, I don’t need to worry about your studies." He wanted to see just how much this so-called college student tutor could improve her grades.

Zhang Yu’s classmates were stunned watching their interaction.

"Zhang Yu, aren’t you two an item?" a straightforward person asked.

Zhang Yu quickly waved her hand, "We’re absolutely not."

"He’s good at studying, just gives me some pointers."

"Saying this is only going to ruin Liu Hui’s prospects."

"The girls who secretly like him might be deterred by these rumors and not dare to pursue him."

"We really shouldn’t hold someone back."

"Are you willing to let go?" Even as Zhang Yu said this, people still didn’t believe her, feeling it was just a cover-up.

Zhang Yule chuckled, "What’s there to hold onto, we are just high school classmates from the same batch."

"What I’m thinking about now is working hard to get into a better university." These are the original person’s wishes, as well as what Li Cuifen expects from her granddaughter.

"I know you don’t believe me, but no worries, time will prove everything." Zhang Yu didn’t want to explain further, she asserted.

Not to mention these classmates, even Liu Hui himself didn’t believe it, thinking she was playing hard to get.

Since she said so herself, what more could they do? They couldn’t just keep badgering her with questions.

Once Zhang Yu returned to her seat, she started solving practice questions, leaving her classmates who watched in astonishment.

Today was just the registration day, not the first day of school proper. Was there really a need to be so serious?

"My foundation is weak."

"My grandma has hired a tutor for me, I can’t waste this money." Zhang Yu said earnestly.

The classmates knew that Zhang Yu had no parents, only her grandmother to depend on, but their family was financially well-off, owning a spacious house.

Zhang Yu knew the study atmosphere in the class was mediocre. If possible, it would of course be better to switch to a different class, like the advanced class.

Unfortunately, by the time she arrived, it was already senior year. Even if she improved gradually, it wouldn’t be until next semester that she could show her potential, by then it would be too late to transfer to the advanced class.

Since she was destined to stay in this class until the college entrance exam, she could only adapt to the environment.
