Chapter 438: Helping Ke Xin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ke Xin suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and smiled, trying to please Xia Ye.
She said, “That’s why I specifically wanted to come and ask for your help.”
She had come to sound things out, and she couldn’t let her impulsiveness hinder her future prospects.
Xia Ye chuckled, “I can’t really help you with anything! If you need something, go ask Xia Ru!”
After saying this, Xia Ye turned and walked away.
Ke Xin raised an eyebrow, as if realizing something.
She quickly caught up with Xia Ye and whispered, “Actually, the reason I came to you is because I’m worried that I won’t be able to keep up with the curriculum. So, I wanted to ask your aunt to find me a tutor.
“But I’m afraid that if I make this request directly, your aunt won’t agree. So, I thought that if you, her niece, are with me, maybe she’ll agree?” Hearing Ke Xin mention a tutor, Xia Ye immediately stopped in her tracks.
Wasn’t this exactly what she desired right now?
Since Xia He and Chen Lian wouldn’t provide the money for a tutor, wouldn’t it be even better if Xia Ru did it?
Seeing Xia Ye stop, Ke Xin realized that she had piqued her interest.
“I’m not very bright, and I’m worried that even if I get a tutor, I won’t understand. If we study together, maybe I can catch up quickly!” Ke Xin mused, her eyes sparkling.
Xia Ye didn’t care if Ke Xin could catch up or not; the fact that she was interested was enough!
“Will Xia Ru agree to spend money on you?” Xia Ye turned to Ke Xin, not very sure.
With Xia Ru’s stingy nature, how could she be so generous to an employee?
Ke Xin quickly explained, “She promised that if I can keep up with the coursework, she’ll sponsor my education.
“Although she hasn’t agreed to hire a tutor for me yet, with you being her niece, I believe she will agree!”
Ke Xin spoke briefly, but she had other calculations in her mind.
Currently, Xia Ru was avoiding her, but with Xia Ye advocating for hiring a tutor, Xia Ru would have no way to escape the responsibility.
Both of them were making their own calculations, but Xia Ru was the common denominator in their plans.
Xia Wan had made significant progress in her grades. Those who used to avoid her were now flocking around her.
Xia Wan knew that most of these people had ulterior motives.
However, Xia Chen was now completely focused on his studies and didn’t pay any attention to those people.
The gifts that had been given to Xia Chen one after another ended up in Xia Wan’s hands.
“Xia Wan, you received so many delicious things today!” Liu Hua looked at the pile of items on Xia Wan’s desk and couldn’t help but salivate.
Xia Wan didn’t reply; she just pushed the items on her desk toward Liu Hua.
Liu Hua had always been kind to her, and these items were just given to her in passing.
“I heard that there’s a new student transferring to Xia Ye’s class,” Liu Hua mumbled, “I heard their relationship is really good; they’re always together!” Xia Wan wasn’t too concerned about Xia Ye’s actions.
Liu Hua said a few more words but found it uninteresting and stopped talking.
When Xia Wan lifted her head, she happened to see Xia Ye walking with someone from the school entrance.
She frowned, looking at the person who seemed somewhat familiar.
“Isn’t that an employee from Xia Rut s store? What is she doing here?” Xia Chen came over to Xia Wan and placed a test paper on her desk.
Upon Xia Chen’s reminder, Xia Wan also remembered that person.
Xia Chen and Xia Wan rarely helped out at the store, so they weren’t very familiar with the employees there.
This employee had stood in front of the store holding an advertising sign several times, so Xia Wan had some impression of her.
Although she was curious about why the woman was at the school, neither of them delved further into the matter.
After dinner, Yan Han was cleaning up the dishes and casually mentioned what had happened at the store that day.
“Xia Ru’s store is short-staffed, and they’ve posted a job advertisement specifically looking for male employees. I wonder what happened.”
“I thought they had a pretty hardworking girl working there? Did she quit?” Xia Hai was usually busy at the store and didn’t pay much attention to these matters.
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan remembered the person she saw at school earlier and said, “It seems like she came to our school a few days ago.”
“A few days ago, my sister mentioned that Xia Ru sponsored a student. Could it be her?” Yan Han found it somewhat unbelievable.
With Xia Rut s stingy nature, Yan Han assumed that it was just a joke from Song
Yan.
“She’s sponsored by Xia Ru?” Xia Wan raised an eyebrow, her mind filled with new thoughts.
This store employee seemed more complicated than she initially thought!
