Chapter 888: Chapter 889 Toxic Fatherly Love 21

Zhang Yu looked at the test paper in her hands, not bad, quite satisfied, although she wasn’t much noticeable in the class, and her ranking in liberal arts wasn’t that impressive either.

But she really was very satisfied. Her grades had improved significantly, and for the first time, she entered the top 25 in her class.

Wang Lei glanced at Zhang Yu’s test paper, "Not bad."

"With this rate of progress, by next year’s college entrance exam, you will definitely achieve a great score."

"You too, keep it up." Zhang Yu looked down at the test paper, briefly scanning it, oh boy, it’s still those history and geography topics that need memorization.

Phew, it looks like she’ll have to spend all her time on memorization, ugh, she really hates memorizing.

If only she could have switched earlier, would she definitely have chosen science? Ah, forget it, that’s challenging; the original person’s science grades were really poor.

Even if people around her looked at her differently, neither the teacher nor Li Cuifen would let her be willful.

Having no choice, she sighed again, "There’s so much to memorize."

"Exactly." Her desk-mate turned around, "So many significant historical events to memorize."

"I always mix up the events with the dates and years." The front-desk almost cried out in grievance.

Zhang Yu could very much relate, "Right, you end up forgetting it while memorizing."

"But no matter how difficult, we have to do it, since we chose liberal arts," Zhang Yu said helplessly.

The front-desk took a deep breath, "Right, since we chose liberal arts."

"We just have to keep trying our best." Her desk-mate kept encouraging himself.

Zhang Yu started to memorize from the book, thankfully English and mathematics weren’t too difficult, and Chinese was still manageable.

As for the other subjects, there’s nothing but memorization, thankfully she has nine months’ time.

Wang Lei noticed that Zhang Yu was really serious, and was quite surprised, "Why have you been so serious lately?"

"Grandma said if I do well on the college entrance exam, she will take me abroad for a trip."

"I’m going to work hard," Zhang Yu said excitedly.

Wang Lei knew that Zhang Yu was not joking, "It seems your grandma is really putting a lot of effort into making sure you achieve good results."

"That’s right, if the conditions were just average, I wouldn’t be taking this so seriously."

"My grandma said that under great rewards, there must be brave ones."

"Indeed." Wang Lei covered her mouth and laughed, "I should also mention this to my parents; they always tell me to strive and be serious."

"Is it fun for them to say that all the time?"

"It’s not fun; they should say okay, after I complete it, they’ll give me a reward, a big reward, then I’ll have the motivation."

Wang Lei initially wanted to add a little bit just to prevent people from gossiping, but as she spoke, she suddenly felt that this idea was really good.

"Exactly, even though how well we perform on the college entrance exam is our own business, if our parents offered a big reward, I think we’d definitely try even harder."

Wang Lei nodded incessantly, "Right, then we’ll go out together!"

Wang Lei didn’t know if her parents would have time, anyway, she didn’t have any high hopes.

"If my parents are busy." Wang Lei hoped again that her parents could go out with her.

"Sure, but I’ll have to bring my grandma," Zhang Yu was certain about bringing Li Cuifen.

"Good." Wang Lei knew the significance of the old lady in Zhang Yu’s heart, "I must work hard."

"No, I must go back and negotiate with my parents, how should I put it?" Although Wang Lei was full of vigor, she was a bit nervous about actually negotiating with her parents.

A few classmates around knew that Zhang Yu’s family had given out a reward policy after the college entrance exam, and they were really envious; they also wanted to travel abroad.

But they didn’t know how to negotiate with their parents and just watched how Zhang Yu did it.

"Well," Zhang Yu could only say, "You know, my previous grades weren’t that good."

"My grandma probably thought that just verbally motivating me wasn’t enough anymore."

"She should stimulate me from other aspects."

"When I got home after the mock exam, my grandma asked me how I did, I said it was okay, as for specifics, I really didn’t know."

"Then my grandma said, if my grades were good, she would take me abroad for a trip." Zhang Yu didn’t know that many classmates also wanted to know how to talk with their parents about this.

No one expected that Zhang Yu hadn’t discussed it with her parents at all; it was proposed directly by her parents, "Zhang Yu, your grandma is really good to you."

"Right, my grandma is good to me," Zhang Yu flaunted, "My grandma and I depend on each other, of course, we have a great relationship."

Zhang Yu knew many people envied her for having such open-minded parents; they also wanted to travel abroad.

About this, she couldn’t provide an answer; many classmates’ families didn’t have such good conditions.

"I wouldn’t dare to tell my parents about it; they would definitely say that’s what I should achieve."

Zhang Yu didn’t join in their conversation, and continued to study hard.

Wang Lei was originally watching their discussion, wanting to know where the classmates wanted to go for a trip.

Turning her head and seeing Zhang Yu studying, okay, her own grades aren’t great, if she isn’t hardworking enough, Zhang Yu would catch up with her.

Thinking of this, Wang Lei felt a strong sense of urgency and started studying quickly.

Seeing Zhang Yu studying, more classmates also started doing the same, okay, college entrance exam is next year, now it’s still time to focus on studies.

As long as they can achieve good results in the college entrance exam, they could then make requests to their parents; even if they can’t travel abroad, traveling to nearby cities would do.

Thinking of this, everyone settled down and studied seriously.

The teacher was outside observing the self-study situation and noticed everyone was either reciting or solving questions, nodding with satisfaction.

"By the way, did you know, Liu Hui hasn’t come to school until now." A classmate came in from outside.

On hearing this, everyone looked up at Zhang Yu, although she said they had no relationship.

Zhang Yu didn’t look up, continuing to solve questions; she knew that even though she stated a few days ago her relationship with Liu Hui was just that of ordinary classmates, many would not believe it.

If she even glanced up now, her relationship with Liu Hui would still be the subject of much discussion.

Everyone noticed Zhang Yu was not looking up but continued solving questions.

"Why hasn’t Liu Hui come to school?" someone picked up.

"High fever, then he took some fever medication at home, thought it was okay, but unexpectedly, he developed pneumonia."

Pneumonia? Zhang Yu’s solving activity didn’t pause, but inside, she was pondering an issue—that in her past life, she hadn’t heard about Liu Hui getting pneumonia.

Apparently, he never missed the mock exam; it seems her coming here has brought a serious butterfly effect.

Zhang Yu was inwardly amused, got pneumonia huh? Mother Liu, that stingy ghost, must be furious.

You know, she’s quite generous with herself, any slight discomfort and she’d complain of pain, demanding to go to the hospital without any delay.

And now her only son Liu Hui is sick, yet she didn’t take him to the hospital, and it escalated to pneumonia.

The money needed for a high fever isn’t big, but now it has turned into a big expense.
