Chapter 445: Discrepancy Between Exterior and Interior

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The siblings talked for quite a while in the room before Mei Shu took the papers she needed for tonight and went to the living room.

Several children were quietly working on their exercises, with occasional explanations from Chen Guo to Mei Jing being the only sounds heard.

Chen Feng was by their side, occasionally refilling their empty cups with water. Watching his daughter concentrate on her work, he was filled with contentment.

“Miss.” Chen Feng saw her and took the initiative to greet her.

Mei Shu nodded and said, “Uncle Chen, you don’t need to be busy. If they’re thirsty, they can pour water for themselves. Just sit down and rest.”

Chen Guo only raised her head from Mei Jing’s paper upon hearing this, “Yes, Dad, you’ve been busy all day. You must be tired. Why not sit down and take a break or go back to your room to rest?”

“No need. I can just stand.” Chen Feng considered himself an unnecessary presence, not wanting to disturb Miss and the young masters studying. However, he also wanted to watch his daughter a little longer, so he stood quietly to the side, not daring to make any noise.

But his carefulness resulted in a sore shoulder.

Mei Shu noticed his slight movement and sighed softly, “You’d better sit down. Standing there is blocking the light.”

Only then did Chen Feng hurriedly sit down, apologizing with a smile, “Sorry, Miss, my negligence. I apologize to you.”

“There’s nothing to apologize for.” Mei Shu was very kind to Chen Feng.

As she spoke, she kept stealing glances in Chen Guo’s direction, and sure enough, she saw Chen Guo disdainfully purse her lips and even roll her eyes quietly.

Mei Shu detested people who were two-faced, and this reminded her of Mei Mu.

Chen Guo and Mei Mu were obviously of the same kind.

She would never allow such people to get close to her brother again.

“Sister, how do I solve this problem?” Mei Yan pushed her test paper over and asked softly.

Naturally, Mei Shu patiently explained it to her.

Seeing this, Mei Jing also brought over a question to ask, but he was sitting farther away, so he had to stand up and walk over.

Chen Guo quickly grabbed his wrist, not letting him go, “Which question do you not understand? I’ll explain it to you. Don’t disturb Sister’s studying.”

Mei Jing smiled, “It’s okay. With my sister’s grades, she is not afraid of being disturbed by me.”

His intention was to say that Mei Shu’s grades were so good that he couldn’t possibly disturb her by asking one question.

But Chen Guo obviously misunderstood. With confidence in her own good grades, upon seeing Mei Jing’s poor performance, she naturally assumed that Mei Shu’s grades were already so bad that they couldn’t be further affected.

Then why bother asking her to explain the question?

Chen Guo followed along.

Mei Shu only looked at the question once and already knew all the solution steps in her mind. However, she wasn’t in a hurry to write down the answers. Instead, she taught her brother how to understand the question, guiding him step by step to write out each step.

She firmly believed that learning was never rigid. To help her brother improve his grades quickly, the best way was to make him adapt to the thinking of the question setter.

She herself had progressed so rapidly using this method.

Chen Guo couldn’t help but be absorbed in listening to the side.

After finishing one question, Mei Jing patted Chen Guo’s shoulder triumphantly, “How is it? Isn’t my sister amazing?”

Chen Guo awkwardly pulled the corner of her mouth, “Sister is very amazing, but there are other methods to solve this question as well.”

She wanted to prove to Mei Jing that she was not worse than Mei Shu. So, she picked up a pen and quickly listed out the solution steps on the scrap paper. However, it was obvious that Mei Shu’s method was more direct and easier to understand.

After looking at it once, Mei Jing decisively chose Mei Shu’s method and wrote it on the answer sheet.

Chen Guo was almost infuriated, “My method was taught by the teacher in class. The teacher who grades the papers also likes to see these answers. You should remember it well.”

“Yes, yes, Scholar Chen.” Mei Jing nonchalantly responded.

Mei Yan became curious, “What’s the ranking of this Sister Guoguo in your grade?”

Chen Guo was embarrassed to directly state her grades, which would be seen as showing off. So, she signaled Mei Jing with her eyes to speak for her.

Fortunately, Mei Jing was a straightforward person. Without Chen Guo’s hint, he directly said, “She, in the grade, seems to be in the top one hundred. Last time, she was ranked ninety-second, I think?”

“Ninety-first.” Chen Guo corrected him with a smile.

Mei Jing waved his hand indifferently, “Oh, there’s no difference.”

“Oh, then my sister is more amazing.” Mei Yan said admiringly.

Chen Guo’s face suddenly changed.

Mei Feng quickly stopped him, “Yanyan, don’t speak nonsense. Miss Chen Guo studies very well and is an example for you to learn from.”

Mei Feng mischievously smiled, “I’m just stating the facts!”

Chen Guo quickly shifted her gaze to Mei Shu and said with a fake smile, “May i ask which is Sister’s school and what is her ranking in the grade?”

Mei Shu modestly smiled, “1 attend Lin City No. 1 High School. I didn’t do well last time, made some mistakes, so you don’t need to ask..”
