Shen Jianhua jumped at the sudden noise, grateful that he and Zhou Lanfang had ceased their conversation, lest the children overheard and left him nowhere to hide his embarrassment.
"Siyu, how did you come back so soon? Your aunt just said you went to watch TV."
"Auntie Zhang said she saw someone who looked like you come back with sister, so I ran home," Zhou Siyu said with a face that had long been missing Shen Jianhua.
Shen Jianhua plastered a broad smile on his face, then asked Zhou Siyu if she had finished her homework and urged her to go do it right away, carefully avoiding any mention of the troublemakers.
Zhou Siyu acted coy for a bit, then cheerfully returned to her room and saw Shen Mianmian doing her homework, her lips curling into a mocking smile.
What is the use of all this effort?
She will still have no chance to attend university in the future.
