Chapter 1947: Be a Little Trash
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Jianyun frowned slightly, happy and worried.
She was happy because there were always benefits to learning more.
She was worried that studying so hard would tire her out.
He didn’t expect her to be a top student.
On the contrary, he didn’t mind letting Ye Qingqiu be a heartless and happy ‘trash’.
!!
The Ye family had the capital to do so.
After considering the Ye Corporation’s future inheritance and seeing his daughter’s personality, how could she have any intention of devoting her heart to the Ye Corporation?
It wasn’t like he hadn’t discussed this with her before. More than once, he had tried to coax and seduce her, but to no avail.
After that, he didn’t count on her anymore.
After all, the daughter of Ye Jianyun would definitely be a dragon among men.
He wasn’t worried about the Ye Corporation’s future.
His children and grandchildren had their own good fortune. Even though the Ye Corporation was important, in his opinion, it was just the financial foundation of his precious daughter.
Nothing was more important than his daughter’s happiness.
Moreover, Tingshen’s state of mind and ability were both well-liked by Qingqiu.
With more nurturing, the Ye Corporation would definitely not be inferior to now.
No one knew his own daughter better than him.
If Qingqiu didn’t think that way, he wouldn’t have thought in that direction.
She had always been “unambitious”. Why did she suddenly work hard now?
After some thought, Ye Jianyun sighed.
At this age, studying was a good thing.
Not long after Ye Qingqiu hung up, Liang Xuer called.
She didn’t eat at home because she had tuition.
Now, he was the only one left for dinner.
Hence, he instructed the kitchen to cook only one bowl of noodles.
After school in the afternoon, Liang Xuer and Ye Qingqiu bumped into each other at the school gate.
Liang Xuer was alone. Ye Qingqiu and Xu Wenxuan were walking together.
Xu Wenxuan knew that Ye Qingqiu had never concealed her dislike for Liang Xuer. But now that the three of them had met, he felt a little awkward.
She didn’t know what to say.
Liang Xuer glanced at him, surprised that Ye Qingqiu was so close to him.
Everyone knew that Ye Qingqiu didn’t have any friends in school. She wouldn’t take the initiative to befriend others, much less befriend them.
“What are you looking at?”
Ye Qingqiu hated Liang Xuer’s scrutinizing gaze, as if she was spying on her through Xu Wenxuan.
Liang Xuer shifted her gaze to Ye Qingqiu. “…I’m not going back for dinner tonight. I’ve already called home.”
Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu frowned. “Are you deliberately provoking me?”
Liang Xuer said indifferently, “I just don’t want you to find trouble with me like last night.”
There was a faint smile on Ye Qingqiu’s bright and exquisite face. “Have you lost your mind?”
Liang Xuer’s expressionless face finally showed obvious anger. “Compared to being self-righteous, no one can compare to you.”
She felt that she was the most outstanding and irreplaceable person in the world. Everyone else was inferior to her.
Liang Xuer didn’t intend to talk to her for long. After saying that, she turned around and left.
Ye Qingqiu watched her leave coldly and didn’t say anything else. She went to the coffee shop with Xu Wenxuan.
It was still early after school and Li Tingshen would stay longer at school every day.
She was either playing basketball with Yin Ruijue or reading in the library.
It was just that he had just adapted to university life and Yin Ruijue was like a fish in water now. He had long driven a sports car with a woman and a group of bad friends.
He couldn’t be bothered to respond to Yin Ruijue. The library was his only choice.
In reality, even if Yin Ruijue wasn’t that promiscuous, he could only choose the library.
Because of the dinner yesterday, his mother had agreed to tutor Liang Xuer.
He had always avoided conflict with Lian Lili.
Moreover, he was experienced in tutoring. It wasn’t a difficult task.
Liang Xuer had actually broken out in a cold sweat last night. Later on, he didn’t retort and this was the first time he experienced what it meant to be excited.
She decided to go to the university library to look for him after school to tutor him. Not long after, the episode of meeting Ye Qingqiu at the school gate was replaced by anticipation and happiness.
However, the moment she stepped into the university campus and saw Li Tingshen, all her expectations and happiness were like a burning fire that was suddenly doused with cold water.
Shock.
There was nothing but shock.
She knew that Li Tingshen was used to being alone. He was cold, quiet, and indifferent. Every time, he would act like he didn’t want anyone or anything to approach him.
Even if something happened, he would definitely use his brain to resolve it.
His noble and refined appearance made it impossible for her to imagine Li Tingshen at this moment.
She thought that not only her, but Li Tingshen’s mother would probably be in disbelief as well.
Liang Xuer stared blankly at the man in front of her, who had always been clean and meticulous. Now, he was in such a sorry state.
There were stains and scratches on his pants, and a few buttons on his white shirt had fallen off. The stains and scratches were more obvious than his pants, and there were even spots of blood. The green color on the corners of his lips undoubtedly showed that Li Tingshen had fought with someone.
On the lawn a few meters away from Li Tingshen, three men got up from the ground in a sorry state. They covered their wounds and glared at Li Tingshen.
“You’re crazy. Just you wait.”
Li Tingshen stood there ramrod straight. Upon hearing this, his narrow eyes slowly widened.
His gaze looked calm and casual, but it was like a cold blade that pierced towards the other party.
The three of them were obviously stunned. They looked at each other and ran away.
Liang Xuer’s mind went blank.
“What… happened?”
Surrounded by many people, she turned to look at the person beside her.
The man shook his head. “I’m not sure either. It’s him…”
That person glanced at Li Tingshen and lowered his voice as if he was frightened.
“He was the one who suddenly attacked. Those three students were walking in front, but he hit them for no reason. I’m afraid even the three students who were beaten don’t know why they were beaten…”
Liang Xuer was even more puzzled.
Why would he… hit someone for no reason?
However, even if there was a reason, what would make him decide to hit someone?
No one dared to continue watching. After the three students left, they turned around and left.
The student beside her reached out and tugged at Liang Xuer. “You’d better leave quickly. Be careful not to anger him later… It’s too scary… You… can’t imagine how ruthless such a refined and cold person can be when he fights…”
Liang Xuer looked at Li Tingshen silently.
Yes, she couldn’t imagine.
But more people saw his unimaginable look.
Thinking about it carefully, other than Auntie Lian, she had the most interactions with Li Tingshen in this world.
However, in reality, the gap between them seemed to be the greatest.
She even felt that she was inferior to those passers-by who had nothing to do with Li Tingshen.
After everyone dispersed, she slowly approached Li Tingshen.
“Brother Tingshen…”
Li Tingshen’s gaze was the same as when he looked at the three students. The coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes made Liang Xuer take a step back in fear.
Li Tingshen retracted his gaze expressionlessly and slowly pulled his shirt back to its original position. There were traces of blood on his slender fingers.
‘I can’t imagine.’
She really couldn’t imagine what the scene was like.
Such a person…
“Put away your curiosity and don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. Go to the library.”
He spoke as he tidied his clothes. His voice was deep and clear, and no emotions could be detected.
His words were ruthless and simple, leaving no room for her to speak.
Liang Xuer bit her lips and fell silent for a few seconds before saying softly, “You’re already like this. Forget about today’s tutoring…”
“If you want to tutor me, do it. If you don’t want to tutor me, don’t do it in the future. I don’t have the patience to waste on the same thing. If it’s the latter, call my mother and explain yourself.”
Liang Xuer’s heart skipped a beat. She had heard Li Tingshen’s words clearly.
He treated tutoring her as a mission.
She was both unwilling and unwilling.
In fact, she had indeed used the little understanding she had of him over the years to make him agree to this tutoring session.
Li Tingshen had never disobeyed Aunt Lian.
The interaction between the mother and son was simple and boring.
But if Li Tingshen had a bottom line, it would definitely be Auntie Lian.
Therefore, when she was having dinner last night, she had spent a lot of effort to deliberately mention to Auntie Lian that she needed to skip a grade and tutor her. She didn’t have absolute hope, but Auntie Lian seemed to have read her mind, so Li Tingshen wanted to tutor her.
She was happy enough that he didn’t reject her.
Perhaps humans were greedy by nature, but now, she was disappointed and sad because of his unwilling reaction.
She didn’t dare to speak again, afraid that if she did, he would immediately turn around and leave.
It wasn’t easy for her to get the chance to be with him…
Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently before turning to walk towards the library.
Liang Xuer hurriedly followed behind him. After walking for a long time, she mustered her courage and said,
“… But Brother Tingshen, you’d better deal with your injuries as soon as possible.”
Li Tingshen didn’t stop or react.
There were many people in the library. When they saw Li Tingshen walking in with bruises all over his body, everyone looked at him.
There was surprise, suspicion, and confusion on his face.
However, that was all. No one wanted to ask what had happened because they knew that they would not receive any response.
Li Tingshen walked to a bookshelf and found a book with ease before sitting down.
Liang Xuer took the opportunity to send a message to the driver, asking him to buy the medicine.
He couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Li Tingshen was not as calm as he appeared to be. Even though he spoke little as usual, Liang Xuer could sense the coldness and anger emanating from him.
She didn’t dare ask him any questions.
Since she didn’t take the initiative, Li Tingshen naturally wouldn’t ask her either.
It wasn’t until her phone vibrated that she carefully looked up at Li Tingshen. Seeing that he was reading expressionlessly and indifferently, she stood up and informed him in a low voice before walking downstairs.
When she returned, there was a bag in her hand.
It was undoubtedly the medicine she had instructed the chauffeur to buy.
She gently placed it in front of Li Tingshen. “Brother Tingshen, can I help you apply the medicine first?”
She asked carefully, but Li Tingshen looked up slowly and glanced at the bag of medicine in front of him.
“Looks like you won’t have any problems with the final exam.”
Liang Xuer’s face paled. “No… but you…”
Li Tingshen closed the book. “If you have no questions, we’ll end it today.”
Liang Xuer bit her lip and her eyes reddened.
“Brother Tingshen, I’m worried about you…”
Li Tingshen’s eyes were filled with mockery as he stood up. “Since you’re not in the mood to study, go home.”
After saying this coldly, Li Tingshen turned around to return the book.
Tears welled up in Liang Xuer’s eyes. She packed her bag and waited for him outside the library.
Li Tingshen came out and saw her from the corner of his eye, but he didn’t stop.
“Have you always been so cold when you tutor Ye Qingqiu?”
Li Tingshen finally stopped in his tracks.
Liang Xuer felt a little sad. She walked up to him and looked up at him.
“I don’t think so? She’s so spoiled and arrogant. How can she tolerate your attitude towards her?”
Li Tingshen frowned.
“You want to compete with her?” Li Tingshen asked.
Liang Xuer’s lips twitched. “Judging from your tone, I’ve overestimated myself?”
Li Tingshen frowned and stared at her. There was a hint of impatience and mockery in his eyes, and his words were almost blurted out.
“What are you trying to prove by comparing yourself to her? She’s arrogant and willful, but you’re sensible and obedient? S…”
Before he could finish speaking, he paused and his expression froze.
Liang Xuer opened her mouth slightly and looked at him in surprise.
Li Tingshen frowned and said coldly, “If there’s nothing else, hurry back!”
Liang Xuer followed behind him with a pale face.
The driver was waiting for Liang Xuer at the school gate. Li Tingshen and Liang Xuer came out one after another.
Li Tingshen waited for Liang Xuer to get into the car.
When the driver saw Li Tingshen, he was a little surprised. However, he still opened the car door and waited for Liang Xuer to get in.
Liang Xuer, who was about to get into the car, turned around and handed the bag of medicine to Li Tingshen.
“I’ve already bought the medicine. No matter what, my wound needs to be treated…”
Knowing that Li Tingshen wouldn’t take it, she stuffed it into his arms and got into the car.
…
When she reached home, Liang Xuer was naturally not in a good mood. Ye Qingqiu had just reached home and was chatting with Ye Jianyun in the living room.
Liang Xuer greeted Ye Jianyun emotionlessly before carrying her bag upstairs.
“You’re despicable.” Ye Qingqiu despised Liang Xuer more and more.
Ye Jianyun felt that something was amiss and called Liang Xuer’s driver over.
The driver parked the car and entered the living room. Ye Jianyun asked him, “Did something happen to Xu’er today? Why do I feel that something is amiss?”
Ye Qingqiu sneered and said, “She always looks like a debt collector. Who cares?”
The driver pondered for a while. “Nothing happened. If I have to say, it might be… Young Master Li seemed to have fought with someone…”
