The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy

Chapter 355: Exposed

Ning Li nodded obediently.

“A little.”

Lu Huaiyu smoothly took her backpack from her as his eyes swept over all the other people there, with his eyebrows slightly raised.

He rarely saw Zhou Fei in this state.

Noticing that Ye Ci seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, it was not difficult to guess that there had been a problem with the exam in the morning.

Furthermore, it was obvious that it had been a big problem.

However, he did not ask too much and merely said, “Since the exam is over, I’ll take Ning Li away.”

Since Zhou Fei was currently troubled by Ye Ci’s matter, he felt that it was a good choice to let Ning Li and Lu Huaiyu leave first.

He nodded as a thought suddenly came to him.

“Ning Li, go to the hotel and pack up your things. Then, you should change to another room.”

Based on what Ye Ci had done to Ning Li earlier and their current attitude, the two of them really could not stay together anymore.

Who knew what Ye Ci would do next?

Ning Li nodded.

“Okay.”

…

Ning Li went back to the hotel to change her room and put on a short cotton coat. Then, she left with Lu Huaiyu.

The two of them went to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.

It was in a very prosperous area, but the environment was quiet and elegant.

In the private room, Lu Huaiyu handed the menu to Ning Li.

“Let’s see what you want to eat.”

Ning Li ordered double-skin milk, money belly satay, three fresh shrimp dumplings, and steamed short ribs.

Her gaze stopped at a certain line. After a pause, she asked,

“Second Brother, do you want the ‘squab in typhoon shelter style’?”

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyes and looked at her.

Ning li coughed lightly.

“I see that the recommended index on it is five stars, so it should be quite delicious, right?”

It was indeed quite delicious.

This was a dish that Lu Huaiyu often ordered.

His thin lips curved into a smile.

“Well, it’s not bad. You can try it.”

As he spoke, he poured her another cup of fruit tea.

“I haven’t asked you yet. How was your exam?”

Ning Li held the small bone china cup. The rose-red fruit tea was clear, clean, and fragrant.

She took a sip and nodded.

“It went quite well.”

Lu Huaiyu was not worried about her exams. He was more concerned about something else.

“Why did you throw away that jacket?”

Ning Li knew that he would ask, so she did not avoid it. She simply told him what had happened that morning.

“…and that’s about it. She was caught cheating on the spot, so she must have been pretty traumatized.”

Lu Huaiyu thought about it and laughed softly.

No wonder.

She had cheated in the national competition and then been caught red-handed. It was clear that the consequences would be serious.

Ye Ci was used to being outstanding and being praised. She had placed fifth at the regional level in the preliminary competition, and the Ye family had even specially organized a grand celebration party for her.

Once this matter of cheating was exposed, she and the Ye family would become the laughingstock of everyone.

This would be the most painful thing for Ye Ci and the whole Ye family.

“The results from the inspection team should be out soon, right?”

“Tomorrow at the latest.”

Lu Huaiyu suddenly remembered something. “I seem to remember that your final results will be out tomorrow as well?”

“Yes, tomorrow afternoon.”

Lu Huaiyu laughed.

“Then, you’ll be receiving a lot of calls tomorrow.”

The top universities were very concerned about the competition. As soon as the results were announced, they would quickly contact the students and start competing for students.

Every year, it was a fierce battle.

“Unfortunately, they might be disappointed this year.” Lu Huaiyu leaned back and raised his eyebrows.

He knew that Ning Li did not intend on signing up with any university.

Ning Li took no notice of his teasing and took a bite of the ribs instead.

…

Ye Ci sat in the room in a daze.

The silence surrounded her.

Time passed slowly. The takeout meal that Zhou Fei had ordered on the table next to her had long gone cold.

She had not eaten a bite.

She wanted to cry, but she had already cried too much before. Her eyes were red, swollen, and painful. She could barely cry any more.

Zhou Fei had already called the school administrator and explained to him about the situation here.

In addition, Ye Ming and Su Yuan had also been notified separately.

The two of them had booked the nearest flight and were flying directly from Yunzhou.

On her phone, there were missed calls from Ye Ming and Su Yuan, none of which she had answered.

At the moment, the two of them should have already boarded the plane and had stopped calling.

However, the pressure in Ye Ci’s heart did not lessen. Instead, it became heavier and heavier.

Her chest felt as if it was being pressed down by a stone. It was so heavy that she could not breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly raised her head and looked around.

Ning Li had not brought much with her this time in the Capital. She had already tidied everything up and sent it to her new room.

There was nothing left here.

Ye Ci suddenly thought of something and stood up abruptly.

Ning Li must have slipped that note into her jacket when she had not been paying attention!

Perhaps there was still some remnant evidence left here!

She immediately rummaged through the entire room.

She tossed the pillows and quilt onto the floor and rummaged through all the drawers.

However, she could not find anything!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

Ye Ci’s heart skipped a beat!

Zhou Fei’s voice came from outside.

“Ye Ci, your parents are here.”

Ye Ci looked at the door in fear and stood still, not daring to open it.

There was another knock on the door.

“Lil Ci? Lil Ci, please open the door. It’s Mummy!”

Su Yuan’s voice sounded very anxious.

Ye Ci covered her ears.

Finally, Ye Ming’s deep voice sounded.

“Ye Ci, open the door.”

Ye Ci shivered.

She did not dare to go against Ye Ming’s wishes in the end. She could only grit her teeth and open the door.

Click.

The door was opened.

Seeing the people standing outside the door, she almost did not dare to speak.

She only whispered, “Dad…”

Ye Ming glowered at her darkly. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Ye Ci!

SLAP!

“Don’t call me Dad!”
