Chapter 48: Seems Like You ‘re Not Stupid
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meng Chuyuan’s gaze fell on the textbook on the desk and her brows furrowed a little. Upon seeing this, Lu Qianling gloated at the side. “You don’t understand it, do you?”
Meng Chuyuan reached out and pointed at the calculation process she had written in the book. She reminded her, “You didn’t find the right solution.” “Duh. If I could find it, why would I be here worrying?
Meng Chuyuan picked up a pen and wrote a formula for Lu Qianling, then handed the pen to her. “Try it.”
Lu Qianling took the pen in confusion. She did not have any high hopes for
Meng Chuyuan. She lowered her head perfunctorily and glanced at the formula Meng Chuyuan had just written.
After reading the new line of texts in the textbook, Lu Qianling’s eyes suddenly widened.
She blinked in astonishment and said excitedly, “I know this! I’ve learned this before.’
“If you’ve learned it before, why don’t you use it?”
“I just… didn’t remember.” Lu Qianling’s voice gradually became softer.
Under Meng Chuyuan’s gaze, Lu Qianling picked up her pen and began to write out the solution. After a while, she finished.
After Lu Qianling finished calculating the answer, she became more confident.
After she put down the pen, she quickly picked up the book and showed it to
Meng Chuyuan. She could not help but show off to her. “Look, did I solve it?”
Meng Chuyuan took a look and nodded slightly. Without changing her expression, she said, “Seems like you’re not stupid.”
“What are you talking about? I was a math representative in primary school, okay?”
“How old are you? And you’re still talking about elementary school?”
Lu Qianling: ‘
After completing this question, Meng Chuyuan carefully analyzed the second question for her. Lu Qianling quickly understood it, and she was not as hesitant as before when she wrote.
After Lu Qianling finished solving the two questions, she took a deep breath and relaxed. She was even a little smug. “These two questions are nothing to me.”
Upon seeing that she had answered both questions correctly and had a clear idea of how to solve them, Meng Chuyuan could not help but praise her, “Your comprehension ability is quite strong.”
“Of course. If I really put my heart to it, even the top scorer will have to step aside.”
From the way Lu Qianling did the questions just now, Meng Chuyuan realized that her foundation was not bad. Perhaps she just liked to play and was unwilling to put her mind on her studies.
Meng Chuyuan said, “It’s getting late. Go to sleep. Remember to go to school tomorrow.”
“Got it.”
After Meng Chuyuan left, Lu Qianling could not help but take out her phone. She turned on her camera and took a photo of the questions she had just finished. Then, she could not help but send it to Lu Qingye.
Lu Qianling: [Big Brother, let me show you my homework. (dog head emoji)]
About ten minutes later, Lu Qingye replied: [Did you solve it yourself?]
After receiving Lu Qingye’s message, she was about to tell him that Meng Chuyuan had taught her, but she was worried that she would be discovered for skipping class today, so for safety’s sake, she lied: [Of course, it’s all my handwriting.]
Lu Qianling took advantage of the fact that he had yet to reply and asked for a reward: [Big Brother, do you think you can increase my allowance for this month? Can you increase it by a thousand? If not, five hundred is fine too.] After she sent the second message, Lu Qingye’s reply took a while: [Wait.]
After Lu Qianling received Lu Qingye’s reply, she laughed happily to herself. When she finally calmed down, she replied to Lu Qingye: [Okay, Brother. Go ahead and do your work. Just remember to increase my allowance.]
After Lu Qingye finished reading the documents, he took some time to look at his phone. Just as he was about to fulfill his promise to Lu Qianling, he received a message from her form teacher saying that Lu Qianling had skipped class today without a reason.
Lu Qingye frowned when he saw this message. He immediately stopped the transaction and closed the transfer page.
The next day, Meng Chuyuan was woken up by Lu Qianling’s voice. With her crying and making a scene outside, Meng Chuyuan couldn’t fall asleep, not even when she covered herselt up with the blanket. Finally, she really couldn’t take it anymore and came out.
Meng Chuyuan narrowed her sleepy eyes and yawned. “Why are you shouting so early in the morning?”
“Lu Qingye is heartless. He didn’t give me my allowance.” She called Lu Qingye several times, but he didn’t pick up at all.
This was because Lu Qingye had discovered that she had skipped class yesterday afternoon. Not to mention increasing her allowance, she wasn’t even going to receive a single cent now.
Meng Chuyuan frowned and said in confusion, “Isn’t it just pocket money? Is it worth making such a fuss about?”
“It’s none of your business.” Lu Qianling turned around, unwilling to let her see her face.
Meng Chuyuan crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, staring at Lu Qianling’s back view.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan reminded her, “Stop calling him. He might be busy.”
When Lu Qianling heard this, she felt that what Meng Chuyuan said made sense. She suddenly sniffled and gradually calmed down.
When Meng Chuyuan saw that she had stopped making a fuss, she asked bluntly, “How much do you want?”
“What?”
“Money. Didn’t you want money?”
Lu Qianling turned around and looked up at her. Her eyes were red from crying and she looked very pitiful.
Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and said, “I can lend it to you.”
“No need.” Lu Qianling was a person with a backbone and refused without thinking.
If she had to return it after borrowing it, it didn’t seem worthwhile.
“I can give it to you, but you have to go to school every day. How about that?”
Meng Chuyuan watched as Lu Qianling rolled her eyes. Knowing that she was up to something bad again, Meng Chuyuan added, “Don’t think that you’ll be able to find any loopholes when your second brother and I go to film the variety show. I’ll get the butler to keep an eye on you every day.”
Lu Qianling felt that the conditions she offered were not that difficult to meet, if she gritted her teeth and persevered. She hesitated for a while, but in the end, she wavered.
“Then tell me first. How much can you give me?”
If it did not meet her expectations, there was no need for her and Meng Chuyuan to continue talking.
Meng Chuyuan frowned and suggested tentatively, “Five thousand a week?”
Lu Qianling readily agreed. “Deal!”
Lu Qingye only gave her 2,000 yuan a month, but Meng Chuyuan offered 5,000 yuan a week. If she missed this opportunity, where would she find such a generous person?
“I’ll head off to school now.” A smile reappeared on Lu Qianling’s face. After carrying her bag, she hurried downstairs. “…” Meng Chuyuan shook her head in confusion.
She agreed so quickly?
Meng Chuyuan even thought that her offer was too low.
After all, Lu Qianling grew up in such an environment. Her allowance should not be that little. Who knew that she would be satisfied with five thousand yuan?
She turned around and was about to go back to sleep when she saw Lu Jinsen appear in the corridor.
Lu Jinsen stood in the door frame, only half of his body exposed. He looked at Meng Chuyuan and sneered. “Five thousand? You really give it away just like that. Do you know how much her monthly allowance is?”
Meng Chuyuan asked curiously, “How much?”
“Two thousand.” Lu Jinsen raised two fingers..
