Chapter 1654 - I Want To Read
Ye Chu one-sidedly started a cold war. She ignored both Ye Tingyun and Xiao Ju. Xiao Ju was an American girl. Because she liked Chinese, she gave herself a Chinese name, Xiao Ju, and forced everyone who knew Chinese to call her that.
She was a girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, and a freckled face. She was very concerned about her freckles every day and liked Ye Chu"s pale and flawless skin. She even tried to convince Ye Chu to suntan at the beach as she thought that a bronze-colored skin was beautiful. Within that afternoon, Ye Chu got sunburnt. Her neck, chest, and shoulders were all covered with red patches.
Ye Tingyun said, "Your monthly bonus is gone."
Xiao Ju felt like she was struck by lightning.
.
Ye Tingyun applied medicine for Ye Chu personally. The usually-talkative girl did not say anything. Xiao Ju told Ye Tingyun secretly that Ye Chu was unhappy recently. Ye Chu went out with Xiao Ju every day to suntan.
Every time they suntanned together, she would have an urge to escape.
But she did not eventually.
Ye Tingyun thought about how Ye Chu seemed like she had something on her mind recently. After helping Ye Chu apply the medicine, he asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
"Hmph!!"
"Speak properly."
"I want to study," said Ye Chu.
"Study?"
"Yes!"
"Um…" Ye Tingyun was extremely regretful. Why did he ask her that question? You are blind, why do you want to read? Anyway, your literacy level is probably around that of elementary school students. Even if you want to study, no school would accept you.
"Hai Lun said that I"m uneducated and don"t have manners. I want to study," said Ye Chu. She had been brooding over this matter for a long time. It seemed like everyone else was very educated except for her.
"Are you unhappy because of this?"
"Is it not serious enough?" Ye Chu asked, immediately becoming unhappy. "You all mock me for being uneducated."
"I didn"t mock you."
"That"s because…" Ye Chu thought about it before swallowing back what she wanted to say. "Anyway, I want to study. I don"t want others to point at my nose and scold me for not being educated."
"That should be alright," said Ye Tingyun. "I don"t study either."
The Second Brother, who had received a stack of certificates and a PhD degree, lied with his eyes wide open. "Studying is not so important."
He caressed the angry Ye Chu"s hair gently. His heart felt soft. Even if I let you study now, you wouldn"t be able to catch up with the rest. Otherwise, do I make you study with a bunch of elementary school students?"
Her ego could not accept it.
Then, hire a private teacher.
But she would probably be unhappy.
Studying depended a lot on the atmosphere and having real-life experiences in society. She must be unhappy if he hired a private teacher for her.
"You are lying." How could he be uneducated? "Wei Ling said that you have two PhD degrees."
Ye Tingyun was speechless. "… "
Ye Tingyun glared at him sharply. Wei Ling raised both of his hands in defeat and walked away silently. He could no longer bear to listen to Second Master"s lies.
"Having two PhD degrees isn"t that impressive," said Ye Tingyun. "I bought them with money."
"Then, buy one for me," said Ye Chu.
Ye Tingyun was speechless. "… "
He could not continue the conversation.
The sharp-tongued Ye Tingyun fell silent and held onto his forehead. "Okay."
Anyway, she did not know how to discern between real and fake certificates. It should not be a problem to make a counterfeit certificate.
Ye Chu thought about it. "You lied to me previously. I don"t trust you. What if you are lying to me? Send me to study."
"Actually, studying isn"t important. Girls just need to be cute."
"I want to study."
Ye Tingyun said, "My sister-in-law is also horrible at studying. She could not learn anything."
