Ying had not been stingy with explaining, she was smart and she knew that her life story will help her gain the teacher's sympathy which will/might make the teacher to give her more consideration with school related activities, you will never no.

Sucking for benefit without paying a cost is the best.

She knew what the teacher was thinking when she left. The expression on Miss. Miya's face clearly expressed shock, she thought the Ying from a well-off family. Previously Ying had pretended to come from a well-off family but this time she knew what matters the most.

Previously Miss. Miya tried to get her to study going as far as to home tutor her without any pay, although she did give sarcastic comments every now and then, but was ran off by Ying.

Now although Miss. Miya had not approached her with home tutor offer because of her improvement but she still gave sarcastic comments.

Ying just accepted it with a smile without showing the teacher that she knows that Miss. Miya is being sarcastic.

She knew she deserved it with the way she had acted in the past. The next day she was called into the teacher's office, Miss. Miya asked her if it was really true what she told her yesterday. At Ying's nod, she gave a fake shocked expression.

"Oh! I thought that the young miss belonged to a wealthy family".

Ying didn't let it show on her face but the feeling of her deserving this came back. She did act like a bratty spoiled heiress of an influential family although in reality she belonged from a poor family.

How absurd?

.

How foolish?

.

How stupid?

.

How naive?

.

Was she in her previously life.

Straightening herself and giving a sigh, she looked at the teacher and said,

"Miss. Miya! Please don't tease me. I know I made many mistakes. I shouldn't have pretended to be rich when my mom is working to the bone to provide for me. But I am trying to right those mistakes".

The teacher adjusts her glasses before addressing Ying Yue;

"This is surprising, children at  your age do not realise that caring family is more important than friends. You are mature enough to realise that, now don't let your mother suffer in silence be a support for her. Keep up your efforts in learning  and I will see what I can do for you."

Ying Yue feels happy on the inside  but keeps a straight face and tilts her head to one side while adopting an innocent expression on her face. She uses her cute avatar to her advantage, her eyes are twinkling with mischief as she teases Miss. Miya back.
