Chapter 297: Chapter 297
The four people stood under the tree, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was particularly good. Little did they know that this scene was caught by Guo Min, the instructor representing the school to visit the sick, who already had a poor impression of Ye Ling. However, Ye Ling had excellent grades in all subjects. Although she had been cold and indifferent to everyone this past year, she hadn’t caused any major trouble, so Guo Min hadn’t paid much attention to Ye Ling.
Now that such a big incident had occurred, it made Guo Min feel even more that Ye Ling wasn’t a good person. Seeing Ye Ling still smiling now made Guo Min’s impression of her even worse, so she directly headed towards the four of them. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fiɾe·net
"Quick, look, the instructor." Yang Hui tugged at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling pulled back her smile and looked in the direction Yang Hui had indicated. She saw the instructor was heading this way, and Zhao Guodong grew impatient, "What is she coming here for?"
On normal days without homeroom teachers in each class, it was the instructors who managed things. Zhao Guodong had never liked Guo Min, thinking of her as someone who misused authority.
"She’s certainly not coming for anything good." Students like Sui Gang naturally didn’t like Guo Min.
"Probably to check on Ye Ling, but judging by her expression, she likely doesn’t have anything nice to say," Yang Hui spoke out without moving his lips, also observing Guo Min approaching, not wanting to be caught talking badly.
Ye Ling couldn’t help but laugh. In their class, there were only five girls. She and Liu Nanyang belonged to one group, naturally not liking Guo Min, who favored Ma Yue and the others. Now that Dong Minghui was expelled, and Ma Yue was urged to leave, only the three of them were left. Guo Min’s expression was certain to be unfriendly.
The four didn’t speak much before Guo Min arrived right in front of them, "How’s Ye Ling’s condition? I heard her ears can hear now?"
"Instructor, Ye Ling’s ears can sometimes hear and sometimes not, still very uncertain." Yang Hui picked up the conversation, then turned his head to Ye Ling, speaking one word at a time, "Ye—Ling, can—you—hear—me?"
No need for Yang Hui to signal, Sui Gang jumped in to cooperate, "Oh dear, speak slower. If you speak so fast, how can Ye Ling hear?"
Then Sui Gang mimicked Yang Hui’s style and repeated it to Ye Ling, with his back to Guo Min. Ye Ling saw Sui Gang blinking at her forcefully, moving the corner of her mouth, knowing these two were teaming up to irritate Guo Min. But if she didn’t cooperate with them at this point, she would definitely offend Guo Min. These two were clearly aware she wouldn’t refuse to help them. Considering Guo Min’s usual air of self-importance, not resembling a patient instructor at all, Ye Ling felt no guilt.
"Sorry, I can’t hear what you’re saying?" Ye Ling feigned sorrow, shaking her head and conveying to Guo Min standing there with furrowed brows, "Instructor, my ears still struggle to hear, if you have anything, please tell them, and let them write it down for me."
Seeing Yang Hui and Sui Gang made Guo Min feel blocked inside. However, since Ye Ling truly had an ear condition, losing her temper wouldn’t be right, so she nodded coldly, choosing not to look at Ye Ling, directly addressing Yang Hui, "Why aren’t you going home on holiday, but staying at the hospital?"
"Instructor, Ye Ling nearly lost her hearing. We live in the same dorm, and being classmates, we couldn’t just not come to see her. But Ma Yue, regardless of the situation, should come to apologize to Ye Ling. Anyway, I heard she dropped out, is that true?" Yang Hui pretended not to know.
Normally steady, Yang Hui didn’t seem intentional to Guo Min, but thinking about the two girls she’d usually looked after causing such a major incident, made her face flush, "This is a matter for the school to handle. You shouldn’t discuss it privately. I just came to check on Ye Ling, seeing she’s quite energetic, I’ll head back to school now."
Knowing Ye Ling couldn’t hear, Guo Min nodded towards her, ignoring Sui Gang and Zhao Guodong, and turned to leave vigorously. Only after she was far away did Sui Gang burst into laughter, grabbing Zhao Guodong, "Why didn’t you say anything just now? Today, we finally found a chance to irritate her. She acts so arrogant every day, really thinks she’s some big leader. I heard it’s because her dad is a professor at our school that she could get in."
When Sui Gang spoke , it was likely true. After all, his family’s status afforded him more inside information.
Ye Ling saw Yang Hui showing a rare mischievous side, so she didn’t say much. Anyway, Guo Min couldn’t find fault, just had to endure it. With this incident, the four returned to the ward in high spirits. Since Ye Ling was still sick, they didn’t stay long before leaving.
Ye He Ping sent everyone off. Returning to the ward, he pulled over a chair to sit by the bedside. Seeing this stance, Ye Ling knew her father had something to say, and Shen Bin’s words flashed inexplicably through her mind, wondering if Shen Bin really mentioned it to her father?
"Dad, do you want to say something?" Ye Ling didn’t even realize she was speaking without confidence.
Ye He Ping didn’t speak, first grinned, "Yes, there’s something. Did your Uncle Shen... Shen Bin also talk to you? He just wanted you to help him tell a lie to the leadership. After all, he helped you with this by asking the leader, and the leader agreed to help upon hearing you and Shen Bin were dating."
Ye Ling stared at her father, "Dad, you first say Uncle Shen, then say I’m dating him. Dad, there’s a generation gap here, that’s impossible. I can’t help him with this lie."
Her words made Ye He Ping’s face flush, taking a moment to find his voice, "Shen Bin is just eight years older than you, calling him brother is fine. He was even introduced to your cousin two years ago, so saying you two are dating is believable to the leadership. But since you’re still in school, you can’t be fairly judged on emotional matters, and this can explain it."
"Dad, do you know what the relationship is between Shen Bin and the leadership?" Ye Ling suspected her father didn’t know about Shen Bin’s relationship with Chief Li.
Ye He Ping paused, "It’s just a superior-subordinate relationship, what else could it be? Is there something wrong?"
Judging from her father’s expression, it was clear he genuinely didn’t know.
Ye Ling shook her head, "Dad, did Shen Bin only say for me to pretend to be dating him? Just help him this one time? Why? I’m your daughter, even if not for Shen Bin’s sake, the leadership would help, right?"
"You child." Seeing his daughter grasp it, Ye He Ping didn’t hide it, "You know your instructor, right? Someone tried matchmaking her with Shen Bin. Shen Bin, coming from the countryside, doesn’t mesh well with city girls, and wanting to avoid offending people, he directly said he already has someone — which is you. If not for this, the school’s handling of your situation wouldn’t have been . You being engaged to Shen Bin prevents any emotional entanglement with Fu Lei, which is why you received disciplinary action." (To be continued.
