Chapter 60: Trust me.

Chapter 60: Trust me.

Trying to escape from this embarrassing situation, Lu Chen decides to change the conversation. He asks, "Meixiu, how do you do on the mock test?"

Ye Meixiu understands what Lu Chen is trying to do and follows up on his queue. She quickly answers him, "I definitely got first place on the test."

First place? Lu Chen starts to chuckle at her and retorts, "Aren't you a little too overconfident?" When Elder Wu heard what Lu Chen said, he was about to retort at him. Young master, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black?

But noticing how the two children are about to be immersed in their own conversation, he decides to not say anything.

From his retort, Ye Meixiu puffs up her chest, "I have the right to be overly confident in myself, brother Chen. After all, I had always placed first in our school rankings."

"You're the one that always ranked first in our grade?!" Lu Chen looks at her in bewilderment. He never expects that the smartest person in his grade would be his little sister.

Ye Meixiu nods her head proudly at him, "Mmhmm. I've been placing first in every grade that I have been in."

"That's amazing, Xiao Xiu!" Elder Wu cuts in and praises Ye Meixiu. Then he starts to glances over to Lu Chen as he gives him a pitiful look, "As for our young master over here."

Lu Chen scratches his head in embarrassment. To think the two people in the car together are the smartest and worst students in the school. Even Lu Chen finds it strange that both of them are together. Seeing his embarrassed face, Ye Meixiu giggles and then suggests,

"Brother Chen, do you want me to tutor you then?" She had been very attentive to what Lu Chen does. And his grades especially. That is her advantage point. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also smart to boot. It's the perfect situation for her.

When Ye Meixiu suggests that to Lu Chen, Elder Wu became ecstatic about it. Lu Chen would not only be tutored by the smartest student, but it would also allow the two's relationship to grow closer.

If the young master decides to marry Xiao Xiu. The moment Elder Wu thought about this, he immediately shook off the idea. Even if he feels that Ye Meixiu is the perfect fiancee candidate for Lu Chen, it will be up to Lu Chen to decide who he chooses to marry.

Lu Chen glances at Ye Meixiu, mulling over the idea. Thinking that he wasn't going to refuse such a great offer, Ye Meixiu smiles gently. But Lu Chen pats her head as he said, "Meixiu, thanks for the offer, but I'm going to refuse."

Ye Meixiu's brows begin to knit as she never expects that Lu Chen would refuse such an advantageous offer from her. Brother Chen, don't you know the position you are in? Ye Meixiu insists even more, "But brother Chen, you have been placing last for the last three years now. If you don't get help as quickly as possible, then you might get into a horrible college."

Stab

From how direct Ye Meixiu's words are, it felt like hundreds of knives went through Lu Chen's chest. I know that you're the smartest person in our grade, but do you have to be so direct? And why do I feel my status as a big brother is about to be shattered?! Lu Chen could only retort in his heart as he couldn't say anything to the innocent-looking Ye Meixiu.

"Trust me. I'll definitely get at least into the top ten when we get back our results." Lu Chen said gently.

Even with Lu Chen's gentle voice, Ye Meixiu wasn't convinced by it at all as she retorts, "Do you think you can ignore reality with just blind confidence? I have seen your grades before, and you are a few points away from going into the single digits." When she found out what his exact grades were, Ye Meixiu had to look a second time. She couldn't believe her big brother would get such a score.

"Pff"

This time Elder Wu couldn't hold it in anymore as the words Ye Meixiu said were the exact words he wanted to say to Lu Chen. And this time, her words were even more directly from the last one, and he couldn't keep it in anymore.
