As the class was about to begin, Ye Fan was called to Lin Dejiang's office.
Ye Fan himself was puzzled by this summons.
Upon entering the office, he saw Lin Ruoyu sitting on a chair. He couldn't help but frown.
This woman again?
To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Lin Ruoyu. She was bad-tempered, arrogant, and bossy...
Ning Xi was much better, well-behaved, sweet, and cute. As fellow females, the difference between them was like night and day.
Fortunately, Lin Ruoyu didn't know what Ye Fan was thinking; otherwise, she would definitely erupt like a volcano.
As Ye Fan saw Lin Ruoyu, she also noticed him. The smile on her face vanished, and she instantly turned icy cold.
After Ye Fan had left yesterday, she had spent half a day alone transporting all the books back. It was the most tiring day she had experienced since working at Chongan.com.
And it was all because of Ye Fan!
"What are you doing here?"
Sensing the hostility in his granddaughter's tone, Lin Dejiang frowned and said, "I asked Ye Fan to come here. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Grandpa!"
Lin Ruoyu looked at her grandfather resentfully, her face full of displeasure. She complained, "You don't know how annoying this guy is! Did he ask you about where I work?"
Ye Fan didn't say anything and sat down on a stool by the window, silently letting the woman vent her frustrations.
"No, he didn't."
Lin Dejiang's brows furrowed as he said impatiently, "Ye Fan never asked about you. Don't be so narcissistic."
Hearing this, Ye Fan silently gave Lin Dejiang a thumbs-up.
A true grandpa, his words were brutally honest!
"I..."
Lin Ruoyu blushed, and seeing Ye Fan's indifferent expression, her anger intensified. She complained, "Grandpa, this guy donated over three hundred books yesterday, but he just left them all outside the door and made me transport them back on my electric scooter. I had to make seven trips, and he didn't even offer to help! He's so..."
"Excuse me."
Ye Fan felt it was necessary to clarify, otherwise, who knew what kind of nasty things this woman would say?
He nodded at Lin Dejiang and calmly explained, "I had something important to do yesterday, so I couldn't help. Besides, helping you is a favor, not an obligation. I don't think I did anything wrong."
"Teacher Lin, what do you think?"
"Yes, he's right."
Lin Dejiang nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to his granddaughter. "You're a staff member of the charity department at Chongan.com, this is your job. Ye Fan had something to do, you can't expect him to delay his own matters to help you, can you?"
"Moreover, it's very commendable for a high school student like him to donate so many books. Why can't you think positively about others?"
"I..."
Lin Ruoyu was speechless. She said sullenly, "Are... are you really my grandpa? Why do you always side with outsiders?!"
Lin Dejiang chuckled and said, "Regardless of our relationship, we should be fair, right? Things are what they are!"
Lin Ruoyu's hand trembled in indignation. She stood up and stared at Ye Fan. "What important thing could a high school student have to do on a weekend? He just wanted to see me make a fool of myself!"
"That's not true."
Ye Fan shook his head with a smile and said calmly, "Who said high school students can't have important things to do?"
"Fine, tell me what it was."
Lin Ruoyu's eyes glinted with challenge. "If you really had something to do, I'll apologize to you. If not, you have to apologize to me!"
"Sorry."
Ye Fan sighed softly, glancing at Lin Ruoyu with a hint of amusement. "It's a personal matter, I don't need to tell you everything. And you're just a staff member at Chongan.com, not a law enforcement officer. Please be mindful of your position."
"..."
Lin Ruoyu gritted her teeth but couldn't do anything to Ye Fan.
"Alright."
Lin Dejiang rubbed his temples with a headache. "Ruoyu, if you have nothing else to do, you can go now. I have something to discuss with Ye Fan."
Lin Ruoyu's eyes widened. Was her grandfather asking her to leave?
Outrageous!
Lin Ruoyu glared at Ye Fan and sat back down. "No, I'm staying here. I'm not disturbing you, and besides, we're going home together later!"
"You girl..."
"Teacher, is there something you need?"
Ye Fan took the initiative to ask. He didn't want to waste too much time here. Even with his good temper, he was starting to feel annoyed by Lin Ruoyu's repeated provocations. If it weren't for Lin Dejiang, he would definitely give this woman a piece of his mind.
All looks, no substance!
That was his assessment of Lin Ruoyu.
Being around someone like her would only ruin his mood.
Lin Dejiang took out the test papers from earlier and placed them on his desk. "Ye Fan, I have some personal matters to attend to and will be away for two or three days. Could you please help me grade the test papers from the last class? After you're done, just hand them out to the students."
"Of course."
Ye Fan readily agreed.
Lin Ruoyu's face was full of surprise. "Grandpa, you're letting him grade the test papers? He'll definitely give himself full marks, that's cheating!"
"Don't be ridiculous."
Ye Fan said nonchalantly, "I'll get full marks no matter who grades them."
"Tsk!"
Seeing Ye Fan's arrogance, Lin Ruoyu scoffed. "You? Full marks?"
"Even I, a graduate of Nanjing University, wouldn't dare to say I could get full marks on a high school test. I don't know where you get your confidence from!"
"A graduate of Nanjing University?"
Ye Fan's face was full of surprise, his mouth slightly agape. "Nanjing University is one of the top four universities, a top institution of higher learning. You got into Nanjing University?"
"It's true!"
Lin Ruoyu felt like she had finally won a round and said smugly, "In China, Nanjing University is only slightly inferior to Tsinghua University. Even compared to Peking University and Fudan University, which are also among the top four, Nanjing University is still on par with them. Anyone who can get into Nanjing University is no ordinary person."
She looked Ye Fan up and down and said mockingly, "As for you? I doubt you have a chance!"
"Oh."
Ye Fan wasn't angry. He said with a smile, "Then you must be very capable!"
"Of course!"
"If you're so capable, then why didn't you get into Tsinghua University?"
"..."
Lin Ruoyu choked, her expression slightly unnatural. "Do you think Tsinghua University is that easy to get into? Their admission score is ridiculously high. Only geniuses can get into Tsinghua University!"
When filling out her college application, she had naturally applied to Tsinghua University, but her score was quite a bit lower than their admission score, so she could only choose Nanjing University.
"So that's how it is."
Ye Fan scratched his head, an innocent look on his face. He said lightly, "Tsinghua University wanted to recruit me last week, but I rejected them. I don't think getting into Tsinghua University is as difficult as you said."
