What a Jerk, Fellow Student!

"Go to sleep!"

Wang Fang was confused. "What can I do?"

"You're the only one sleeping?"

Jiang Yitong was so worried about her mom that she spoke without thinking. The moment the words left her mouth, she knew she was in trouble.

Sure enough!

At first, Wang Fang didn't understand what she meant and froze. But once it clicked, she slammed the spatula down on the counter. "You little brat! Are you asking for a beating?"

Wang Fang shouted, furious.

But the next second, she turned to glance outside the kitchen. Worried she might disturb Lin Baici, who was sleeping, she lowered her voice, though her anger was still plain. "What are you learning these days?"

"Why is your mind full of all this nonsense?"

"Mr. Lin is a gentleman. Don't go spouting nonsense in front of me again, or I won't consider you my daughter anymore!"

Hearing her mom go on like that, Jiang Yitong could tell she was genuinely angry. Her heart sank, and two words immediately popped into her mind.

I'm doomed!

Something had definitely happened between her mom and Lin Baici that she didn't know about. From her mom's response, it was clear she thought very highly of Lin Baici now.

"Jiang Yitong, focus on your studies. Stop thinking about all that nonsense."

After shouting, Wang Fang hung up.

She'd make Mr. Lin breakfast first. When she had time, she'd have a proper talk with her daughter.

Jiang Yitong listened to the dead tone on the phone, deeply annoyed.

Why did she have to work so hard at school just to get a good job after graduation, while Lin Baici didn't have to do a thing? He had plenty of money and could buy her mom's labor, making her serve him every day.

Damn it!
