I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 10
To prove the reliability of this promise, Zhou Jun found a nearby library after finishing her noodles and immediately started tutoring Wen Yunqing.
An hour passed quickly. Wen Yunqing watched the serious-faced Zhou Jun leave, scratching her face awkwardly.
“Um, is my learning ability really bad?” Wen Yunqing asked. “Why did Student Zhou’s expression look a little tragic?”
Not only Zhou Jun, but after realizing Wen Yunqing’s academic level, Wen Yimeng’s expression also turned serious.
To be honest, she was already regretting it. If she had known Wen Yunqing’s grades were so touching, she definitely wouldn’t have dragged Zhou Jun into this.
“No, your learning ability isn’t bad, but your level…” Wen Yimeng carefully chose her words, “is quite average. You’re not someone with much natural talent.”
During the past hour, Zhou Jun didn’t teach Wen Yunqing much directly. Instead, she briefly asked about her study habits and tested her proficiency in each subject.
How to put it? Wen Yunqing’s academic performance wasn’t bad. Even with English dragging her down, she was still about average at Ruihua.
But the problem was, Wen Yunqing wanted to attend Jingda University, a top-tier school. An “average” level was far from enough to meet Jingda’s admission score.
“Tonight, I’m going to teach you English,” Wen Yimeng said seriously. She wanted to help Zhou Jun, and she couldn’t let Wen Yunqing become a burden to her.
“Why? Doesn’t Zhou Jun teach me already?” Wen Yunqing was a little confused. Since when did my grades become so important?
“No why. Just tell me if you’re willing,” Wen Yimeng said with a straight face. “If you’re not willing, then Dad can hire you a private tutor.”
“Of course, I’m willing. If my darling Yimeng is teaching, I’ll learn anything,” Wen Yunqing agreed without principles.
Although she still didn’t understand why, she knew that if darling Yimeng taught her, they would definitely spend time alone. She couldn’t miss this opportunity.
Putting words into action, as soon as they returned to the Wen family home, Wen Yunqing was grabbed by her backpack and led straight to Wen Yimeng’s room.
Compared to Wen Yunqing’s room, Wen Yimeng’s bedroom was larger and more exquisite. Whether it was the photos hanging on the wall or the stack of trophies in the display case, everything felt full of life.
“Go get a blank notebook. Today I’ll go over the main grammar points for you,” Wen Yimeng said, taking out her English study notes from the bookshelf.
“Okay.” Wen Yunqing sat obediently on the chair, her gaze falling on the photo frame on the right side of the desk. The frame contained a group photo of four people. Wen Yimeng’s positioning was a bit odd; although she was the second from the right, almost half of her body was blocked by Wen Han.
“You should understand the simplest parts of speech, starting from nouns…” Wen Yimeng’s grades weren’t as good as Zhou Jun’s, but she was consistently in the top twenty, and with effort, getting into Jingda wasn’t an issue.
“Wen Yunqing! Focus!” Seeing Wen Yunqing daydreaming, Wen Yimeng said angrily with a straight face. “Did you write down everything I said?”
Wen Yunqing lightly coughed and retracted her gaze. “Um, you spoke a little fast. Could you slow down?”
“Slow…” Before Wen Yimeng could finish her sentence, a knock interrupted them.
“May I come in?” Mother Wen’s voice came from outside.
Wen Yimeng’s expression immediately shifted to gentle and harmless. She walked over and opened the door. “Mom, did you need something?”
“I washed and cut up some fruit. You can eat it later,” Mother Wen said with a smile, walking straight to the table and placing the plate of sliced fruit on it.
“Yimeng, are you tutoring Yunqing?” Mother Wen’s gaze fell on Wen Yunqing’s notebook, seeing a few scattered words written irregularly.
“Mhm. Sister said she was having a hard time keeping up with the school’s English classes, so I thought I’d tutor her privately,” Wen Yimeng said softly, blinking her eyes to look cute. “That way, Sister can improve with me. We even agreed to both aim for Jingda!”
“What good children,” Mother Wen was very pleased to hear this. It was wonderful that the two children could get along harmoniously.
“Then Mom won’t bother you anymore. If you need anything, just let me know,” Mother Wen said, patting Wen Yunqing on the shoulder, her gaze lingering on her profile. “Yunqing, you must listen to Yimeng and study seriously.”
“Okay…” Wen Yunqing said, touching her nose. Although Mother Wen didn’t say anything, she felt like she had been caught slacking off.
With Mother Wen’s words of encouragement, Wen Yimeng became even more enthusiastic as a teacher. Especially when she realized she was academically superior to Wen Yunqing in almost every way, she felt even more inwardly smug.
Nearly two hours later, the fully stocked fruit plate was down to just two forks. Wen Yimeng also satisfactorily closed her notebook and handed it to Wen Yunqing.
“Today I only briefly covered the grammar points of high school English. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can check my notes,” Wen Yimeng said.
“Are you giving this to me?” Wen Yunqing asked, taking the notebook and flipping through it casually. The knowledge points inside were clearly organized.
“If you want it, it’s fine. Anyway, I have to reorganize everything again in my senior year,” Wen Yimeng said very generously. A teacher naturally has to be broad-minded.
“Thank you, Yimeng… Teacher,” Seeing her upturned mouth, Wen Yunqing promptly changed her address.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Although my grades aren’t as good as Zhou Jun’s, compared to you, I’m still a bit more outstanding,” Wen Yunqing’s address perfectly satisfied Wen Yimeng’s vanity. She sincerely immersed herself in the role of a teacher.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me,” Wen Yimeng said. “Anything related to studying is fine.”
“Okay, Teacher Yimeng.” Wen Yunqing also smiled. She understood. Her darling Yimeng liked the feeling of being respected and admired.
With studying as this perfect connection, the dynamic between Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng subtly changed.
Under Wen Yunqing’s constant use of the address “Teacher Yimeng,” Wen Yimeng inevitably became conceited. In just two days, she could already allow Wen Yunqing to enter her bedroom alone, with her permission.
In the eyes of Father Wen and Mother Wen, it was only natural for the two sisters to help each other and get along harmoniously.
But in Wen Han’s eyes, it was a completely different matter. Looking at the two of them nearly glued together on the sofa, Wen Han felt that something major must have happened during the two days he was busy working overtime.
For example, Wen Yunqing, that scheming woman, used some excuse to deceive his simple and kind sister. If their relationship became more intimate, Wen Yunqing would definitely dig a hole for his sister and frame her!
“Yimeng, did you go anywhere this weekend?” Wen Han thought this and plopped down next to Wen Yimeng, trying to grab her attention.
“This weekend?” Wen Yimeng blinked and replied, “I just stayed home and didn’t go out.”
“Didn’t go out? Was your allowance not enough? Or do you need your brother to go with you?” Wen Han asked. Seeing a gap between the two, he immediately stood up and sat in the middle.
Seeing Wen Han’s action, Wen Yunqing frowned. She stood up immediately, ceded the seat to Wen Han, and then sat down on the other side.
Wen Han ground his teeth, expressing his dissatisfaction with Wen Yunqing through his eyes.
“My allowance is enough. I just spent the weekend helping Sister with her English tutoring, so I didn’t go out,” Wen Yimeng explained.
She was also a little puzzled. Why was she the one stuck between them? Are they going to try the same trick again and rub her head into a bird’s nest?
“Tutoring English?” Wen Han heard this and sneered. “I guess so. Coming from a small town, her English foundation is indeed poor.”
“But Yimeng, your time is precious. If she needs English tutoring, just ask Dad to hire a private tutor,” Wen Han said.
Wen Yimeng immediately shook her head. “It’s fine. Sister’s learning ability is decent. Me teaching her is enough.”
She had finally managed to gain a stable advantage over Wen Yunqing and could use the title of “Teacher” to make her listen. She didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
“Are you sure it’s fine?” Wen Han was suspicious. Did Wen Yunqing force Yimeng to be her teacher and use the opportunity to find trouble?
“Teacher Yimeng, I don’t quite understand the grammar point you explained to me this afternoon. Could you teach me again?” Wen Yunqing asked.
“The inversion clause?” Wen Yimeng asked.
Wen Yunqing nodded. “Yes, I’m not very clear on that.”
“Alright, let’s go upstairs. I’ll teach you again!” Saying this, Wen Yimeng stood up, walked a few steps, then turned back and urged Wen Yunqing with her eyes.
“Okay,” Wen Yunqing responded seriously. Then, when Wen Yimeng wasn’t looking, she shot Wen Han a look of provocation.
See that? Yimeng isn’t your sister; she’s my darling!
Wen Han was so angry he gnashed his teeth, but using studying as an excuse was something he truly couldn’t counter. He couldn’t stop her from studying just because he disliked Wen Yunqing!
What a hateful woman. Not only is she crazy, she’s a smart crazy woman.
On Monday, Zhou Jun arrived at the classroom just as the bell rang. After the morning classes ended, she walked over to Wen Yunqing with a serious expression.
“Student Wen, this is the study plan I created for you over the past two days. Take a look and see if there are any issues,” Zhou Jun said seriously, handing over a stack of stapled A4 papers.
Wen Yunqing felt a sense of foreboding. After taking it and flipping to the first page, she froze.
“Student Zhou, do you plan to study according to this plan?” Start studying at seven every morning and not rest until nine at night?
Isn’t this practically getting up earlier than a chicken and going to bed later than a dog!
“Mhm. I calculated it. If you follow this plan to study and review, and don’t make mistakes in the college entrance exam, you will definitely be admitted to Jingda as desired, and you can even choose your favorite major,” Zhou Jun said.
To complete this plan, she hadn’t slept well these two days. She not only organized the knowledge points of every core subject but also subdivided them by week.
She could guarantee that as long as Wen Yunqing studied with her, her final college entrance exam score would definitely be twenty points higher than Jingda’s admission line.
Wen Yunqing’s face showed great difficulty. Zhou Jun’s image in her eyes momentarily overlapped with that of her teachers from her childhood.
“Student Zhou, actually, you just need to help me with English. I can handle the other five subjects on my own,” Wen Yunqing said tactfully. She really didn’t like studying!
“No. Since I accepted the money, I must take responsibility. That’s what you said,” Zhou Jun’s expression was exceptionally serious. “If I can’t help Student Wen get into her desired university, then I have no reason to accept the money.”
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem somewhere?” Wen Yimeng walked over, curiously looking at the study plan in Wen Yunqing’s hand.
“Zhou Jun, did you create this plan?” Wen Yimeng was slightly excited. She initially just glanced at it, but after clearly seeing the contents of the first page, she was instantly captivated.
“Mhm. This is the preliminary plan based on Student Wen’s situation. If her academic performance changes later, I will adjust it accordingly,” Zhou Jun said.
“Zhou Jun, if you publicly released this study plan, many people would be willing to hire you as a tutor!” Wen Yimeng exclaimed. This level of planning could rival a teacher’s syllabus!
“My energy is limited. It’s only enough to teach Student Wen alone,” Zhou Jun said.
“Then let’s negotiate. I’ll audit the sessions and pay you fifty an hour?” Wen Yimeng said. She was genuinely tempted.
“Wait, I can…” Wen Yunqing felt things couldn’t go on like this. She came to school to experience life and close the distance with Wen Yimeng, not to study herself to death.
“Then it’s settled. Three hundred yuan an hour!” Wen Yimeng completely ignored Wen Yunqing’s words. The person with the worst grades has no right to speak!
