Chapter 96: Things revealed, Joe Yi is under house arrest; Qiao Ying help do the problem

Chapter 96

"Don't panic first, your brother has already agreed. In a few days when he finishes the solution, I'll have your brother send it to you," said Li Lilian.

"Rest assured, that dead girl dotes on Little Yi, she will definitely help. In the future if they ask you to do questions again, mom will handle it for you," Li Lilian comforted Qiao Lingling.

"No one suspects you right? Ai, you're making me worry along with you. You have to keep your mouth shut," said Li Lilian.

"What? That dead girl met a rich and powerful figure at school?" When Li Lilian heard this, her eyes lit up.

"I knew she was capable. It's only been a few days since the start of school and she's already cozied up with a tycoon," Li Lilian said happily.

"You'd better mend your relationship with your sister. In the future when that dead girl makes it big, our whole family may have to rely on her," said Li Lilian.

"What can you do even if you're angry? That dead girl looks pretty after losing weight. Rich people like her, what's the point of you being angry?" Li Lilian consoled Qiao Lingling for a while before hanging up the phone. She thought to herself that she would also have to get on the good side of her eldest daughter. She should visit Beijing another day to take a look at the rich young master she latched onto. If they had a wealthy in-law, life would be great. Li Lilian happily hummed a tune.

At this time, a voice suddenly rang out, "Who asked second sister to do questions?"

Li Lilian was badly frightened, she nearly threw her phone. She turned her head to see Qiao Yi with wet hair standing at the kitchen door.

"L-little Yi, when did you come back? Why didn't you make any sound, you scared mom to death?" said Li Lilian.

"Who suspects second sister? Why suspect her? Suspect what? What did second sister do that you're worrying?" Qiao Yi asked sentence by sentence as she walked into the kitchen.

Li Lilian's heart thumped.

"W-what are you talking about? Nothing! Little Yi you must have misheard. I didn't call your second sister," Li Lilian pretended to stay calm.

"Mom," Qiao Yi looked steadily at her mother and asked, "How many points did second sister get for the college entrance exam?"

Li Lilian was stunned for a moment. Flustered, she concealed, "Your second sister did exceptionally well. She got 700 points."

"You're lying. She didn't even take the college entrance exam," said Qiao Yi.

Li Lilian opened and closed her mouth, unable to get any words out for a time.

"She stole my draft book and the math question. You didn't go to any wedding at all. Instead, you took big sister's questions and went to Beijing. She took big sister's place, and lied to Zhuo Zhiyi, Principal Zhang and Beijing University. That day Principal Zhang came, you hid in the room because you were afraid Principal Zhang would recognize you, right?"

Qiao Yi stepped closer. She tried her best to restrain her emotions but her heart was still filled with anger, shame and self-blame.

"Little Yi, it's not like that, listen to mom explain..." said Li Lilian.

"You still want me to help you trick everyone!" Qiao Yi felt extremely apologetic to Qiao Ying. If she had unknowingly become an "accomplice" and nearly helped commit injustice again, she would never have forgiven herself.

"I'm going to tell sister," said Qiao Yi as she turned and rushed out of the kitchen.

"Little Yi!" Li Lilian hurriedly chased after her.

She chased Qiao Yi to her room. Recklessly, she snatched Qiao Yi's phone just as she was about to make a call.

"Give me back my phone! Give it back! Do you know what you're doing?" Qiao Yi said agitatedly.

Li Lilian gripped the phone tightly and refused to let go.

"Little Yi, Little Yi, you can't do that. Lingling is your sister by blood. If you do this, you'll ruin her life. If you make that call, your second sister will be finished for life. The street will see how they look at your second sister. If your second sister gets expelled from Beijing University, what will she do in the future? Can she take it?" said Li Lilian.

No one knew how much time passed. Qiao Yi placed both hands on the keyboard and opened WeChat at Qiao Ying's chat frame.

Qiao Ying's phone rang. She saw the message.

The next day,

Li Lilian only opened Qiao Yi's door with two swollen eyes.

In a hoarse voice she said, "Mom asked for leave from your school so don't go today."

Qiao Yi said incredulously, "Are you going to imprison me?"

Li Lilian said, "Son, you're still young. You don't understand a parent's hardship and hopes. As parents we hope for the best for our children."

Qiao's father stood silently at the side, saying nothing.

At school,

Qiao Lingling was in a complete daze with her nerves tightly strung.

She barely endured until the end of class. Qiao Lingling didn't have any appetite as she walked towards the dorms, wanting to rest properly away from the crowds.

"Little Yi said you have a question for me to solve?"

Without any warning, Qiao Ying's voice suddenly rang out.

Qiao Lingling was so frightened she screamed and jumped up from shock.

Seeing Qiao Ying before her muddled brain, Qiao Lingling blanked out as her heart nearly leaped out of her chest. She sank into endless terror.

"The scholarship isn't small," said Qiao Ying at this time.

Qiao Lingling barely regained some ability to think, "Sis...Sis..."

Qiao Ying said, "When the question is solved, the full scholarship is mine."

At first Qiao Lingling blanked out, then nodded repeatedly, "All yours, all yours sis."

Qiao Ying asked, "Where's the question?"

Qiao Lingling's brain buzzed. Flustered, she took out her phone to find the question, "It's here."

Qiao Lingling thought: Could it be Little Yi didn't tell Sister Ying but chose to help her instead?

After Qiao Ying read the question she asked, "Do you have paper and pen on you?"

"I do, I do!" Qiao Lingling hurriedly took out paper and pen.

She was so anxious her pen dropped to the ground. She quickly bent down to pick it up.

"Sis, how long will it take?" Qiao Lingling asked. At the same time, she concealed her panic and tried to calm herself down.

"Very soon," said Qiao Ying as she took the pen.
