Ye Ci was not in the mood. She remained silent but followed Su Yuan.
Ning Li carried her bag and glanced at her watch before deciding to follow Su Yuan as well.
…
The study room on the second floor.
Ye Ming was not home yet, so only Su Yuan and her daughters were there.
Ye Ci sat there with a straight back, looking nervous.
Meanwhile, Ning Li lounged on the couch lazily.
Su Yuan glanced at Ye Ci and sighed.
"Lil Ci, you did poorly in your midterm. May I know why?"
Ye Ci shook her head.
"I just happened to miss the mark this time, that's all."
Su Yuan did not believe her.
She had been the girl's stepmother for many years now. Other than the resistance that she had felt during the early years, Ye Ci had always been an obedient girl.
She had not needed to worry about Ye Ci's studies before.
Ye Ci doing poorly in the midterm was not normal.
