Chapter 208 – Marks
"Ah Jin, what did you like more? The Ferris wheel or the carousel?" Yu Mei excitedly glanced at Yu Jinhai who was sitting on the shotgun seat while Shi Luo drove the car.
Yu Jinhai turned around to look at the woman sitting in the backseat, "Both were good. But Jie, I loved your expressions when we were on the roller coaster ride."
Yu Mei: "_"
"Pfft," Shi Luo failed to contain her laughter.
"I was screaming because my hairstyle was ruined," Yu Mei cleared her throat as she glared at Shi Luo.
"Yes, Jie. I believe you," Though he said that, his expressions screamed 'You are lying'.
"We're here," Shi Luo announced as she parked the car in front of the boy's school.
Yu Mei alighted the car and walked towards the front before opening the door to the shotgun seat.
"Wow…Look at that sister. She is so pretty."
"Yes, she looks like a Disney princess."
"Oh my god. See, is that Jinjin?"
"Wow. He is so cute today."
"Do you think he will agree to be my friend?"
"Humph! You are too ugly to be his friend."
Their gossips were not so quiet and it did not escape Yu Mei's sharp ears, "Jinjin, huh? My brother is the school prince, after all," She adjusted his uniform's collar and hair. It was a crazy idea to take him to the amusement park while he was in his school uniform but craziness always brought extra fun.
Yu Jinhai blushed, "Jie, I don't really know them."
"Then, you should know them. Such little beauties. I can already feel my heart melting. How could not respond to their friend requests?"
"Troublesome," The boy softly muttered.
Yu Mei chuckled as she removed her shades.
"Hey, isn't that President Leanne?"
"The CEO of Rosette?"
"Now that I look at it, that boy is the illegitimate son of the Yu Family."
"Yes, don't you know? President Leanne is the illegitimate daughter of the Yu Family. Her other name is Yu Mei Zhen."
"I know. I have seen it in news. I was shocked. After all, Yu Mei Zhen has a bad reputation…"
"….Ugly reputation."
"But who could have known her real identity? And she is so beautiful and perfect. Who called her fat and ugly? Moreover, look how she adores her brother. How can she be a bad person?"
"These people know how to keep up the facade. Who knows what's there in her heart?"
While the children were infatuated by the beauty, the parents had their own opinions as they gossiped.
Even though some of their words reached her ears, Yu Mei did not pay attention to them. She was very glad that no reporters stalked her here. It seems like they learned their lesson last time.
"Do well in your exams. Best of luck!"
"But I am not that good at Geography subject. I won't get good marks."
"Who cares about good marks? Write whatever comes to your mind," Yu Mei patted his shoulder.
Shi Luo who just walked towards them almost stumbled when she heard the woman's words. How could she influence this little munchkin to be as wilful as her? Write whatever you want? Which sister will teach something like this to their younger brother?
Yu Jinhai blinked, not expecting to hear this, "Jie, I can't score badly. The marks will be there on the report card and it will influence the overall percentage."
Yu Mei squatted down coming to his level as she held his hand, "Ah Jin, I am looking for an art teacher for you. I know you are interested in art," She has seen him scribbling and sketching randomly and they were all so beautiful, "As for your report card or percentage, who cares about the numbers. The marks won't define you as a person. You don't have to score well to be a good student," She smiled, "Not that I am motivating you to score bad but don't pressure yourself. I want you to do the things you love, okay?"
"Okay," The boy nodded, imprinting her words in his mind.
She placed a soft kiss on his forehead, "Go now!"
"Bye, Jie," The boy waved his hand as he walked away.
She stood up before waving back at him.
"Do you think he is fine?" Shi Luo glanced at her.
"He is pretending to be fine."
"It will take him some time," Shi Luo sighed, "I agree with you about what you told him."
"About studies?" Yu Mei asked, putting on her shades. As Shi Luo nodded, she sighed, "Ah Jin is too mature for his age. I want him to be more free instead. Moreover, we miss out on a lot of things focusing on these grades and all. You were busy being Miss bookworm in university days and missed out on the hot basketball coach who was damn interested in you," She spoke the last words with a teasing intent in her voice.
Shi Luo was speechless, "You are looking for a fight, aren't you?"
"HAHA…I am serious," Yu Mei flipped her hair back and sashayed towards the other side of the car before getting inside the driver's seat.
Shi Luo shook her head and settled in the shotgun seat, "Where are we going now?"
"Your place. You have a day off today so you can chill while I'll do my work. The mansion feels so empty without him. I am not going back."
Shi Luo could not help but pat her chest, "My poor single soul can't take this," With that said, she fiddled with her phone.
Yu Mei stepped on her accelerator.
"What the fuck is this?!" Shi Luo let out a string of curses in a flow scaring the hell out of Yu Mei.
She quickly stepped on the emergency brakes, "Luoluo, what's wrong?" She patted her chest. What is up with such exaggerated expressions?
"Bastard, bitch…mo…." Yu Mei pressed her hand on the woman's mouth to stop her from cursing further.
"How many times have I told you to keep this in check? Does it suits your image?"
Shi Luo took a few deep breathes, "I overreacted," Just as Yu Mei was about to nod, Shi Luo snapped again, "Fuck my image. Look at this," She passed her phone to the woman.
