Xu Daqing's eyes turned crimson as he was about to scold me again, but the teahouse manager discreetly revealed the circumstances of the situation.
Immediately, I saw Xu Daqing change his demeanor: "Xiao Xiao, she is your biological sister. You know she has always been well-behaved and diligent in her studies. Do you think you could—"
Sure enough, he began to bind me with moral obligations.
Just as I was about to speak, Ye Mo interjected, "Mr. Xu, Ye Jin is now a member of my the Ye Family, and you have no further ties with us."
With that, he pulled out his badge to summon the constables.
Xu Daqing's face turned ashen.
"We are willing to compensate; please do not report this to the authorities. My daughter still needs to prepare for her exams." Truly a father-son bond!
A sharp pain struck my heart, and Ye Mo noticed my discomfort, quickly reaching out to support me.
In the end, Xu Daqing took out a banknote for compensation, looking pained as he did so.
He managed to gather the money and left with Xu Jinwei on his back.
Watching their retreating figures, I realized that although I had achieved my goal, my mood was not as elated as I had imagined.
Soon, the autumn examinations arrived. I made no effort to trouble Xu Jinwei, and she no longer caused any issues.
After all, playing cat and mouse loses its charm when one strike ends it all. Moreover, what she had done was not enough to ruin her reputation completely.
However, there was one thing that troubled me.
That was Xiao Ran from the academy; for some reason, he suddenly replied to my letter, and I pretended not to see it.
He came straight to my class looking for me.
"Ye Jin? Or should I call you Little Bunny?"
His words truly made me blush.
Xiao Ran suddenly broke into a smile and said gently, "I find you quite interesting. Regarding what you mentioned earlier, I've thought it over—"
Before he could finish his sentence, I hurriedly interrupted him, eloquently explaining for a full quarter of an hour that I had mistakenly sent the letter and meant nothing by it.
Xiao Ran simply smiled at my flustered response and left with his attendants.
I thought everything had come to an end, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ran began to pursue me openly. As a result, my reputation at the academy soared, and many women looked at me with increasingly unsettling gazes. Ye Mo's attitude towards me worsened day by day; whenever I stayed late after class, his eyes pierced through me like daggers.
This situation caused me to notice that every time Xiao Ran came to my class, Xu Jinwei's hands were tightly clenched under her desk, as if she were trying to dig her nails into her flesh. I had no choice but to force myself to engage in conversation with Xiao Ran.
Eventually, Ye Mo grabbed my collar and dragged me away. One day, out of the blue, Mr. Xiqi resigned from his position, claiming that his aunt was seriously ill. Uncle Ye then suggested that Ye Mo teach me. I had expected him to refuse politely, but to my surprise, he simply replied, "Alright."
This news struck me like a bolt from the blue, filling me with anxiety. My life became consumed by poetry and calligraphy practice, with my only leisure time spent paying attention to Xu Jinwei. I noticed that after her grades plummeted, she sought out Master Li again. Master Li warmly invited her to his home for extra lessons, and Xu Jinwei did not decline.
However, her grades showed no improvement; instead, she appeared increasingly haggard and anxious. I initially thought she wouldn't perform as well in the upcoming autumn examination as she had in the past, yet she still achieved results identical to those of her previous life. This made me suspect she might possess some foresight.
After several attempts to probe further, I finally confirmed that this was not the case. However, her grades remained suspicious. Before I could investigate thoroughly, I stumbled upon a huge secret of Xu Jinwei's—one that I had been unaware of even in my previous life.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, I delivered a speech as an outstanding student. Just after stepping off the stage, I saw Xu Jinwei leaving and couldn't help but quietly follow her.
