Everyone there all had the same question. Just what mark did she get for the Dean to want her so desperately?

  Xu Yingying stepped out and vocalized everyone’s curiosity, “Dean, did you get the wrong person? Niannian got 684 – higher than Ye Fan. Isn’t she this year’s number one scholar? How could it be that Qiao Qing scored higher?”


  Cui Yan stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He turned his face around, “Full mark is 750. Qiao Qing scored 750. She didn’t lose a single point. How can you say she didn’t score as high? You tell me, should I or should I not try to keep her for everyone in our nation?”


  His words had the same affect as a grenade. It exploded and turned everyone into unmoving wooden chickens. They all thought they were having delusional hearing.

  After some moments of silence, the place once again turned into a boiling pot.

  “My god, did I hear it wrong? You can get full marks on the exam?”


  “If I didn’t just hear it from the Dean’s mouth, I would’ve thought I’ve gone crazy. 750? Is she human?!”


  “She’s an insane genius. Oh my mama! Who ever called her good for nothing?!”


  “.……”


  Ugly was no longer a sufficient adjective to describe the look on Qin Yongmei and Qiao Nian’s faces. They stared at Qiao Qing in disbelief as if they had been struck by lightning.

  Jiang Yi’s family was also staring at Qiao Qing in shock. After some astonishment, they felt deep regret.

  Similar to Jiang’s family, all the families who chose to stand behind Qiao Nian felt their lungs turn green due to regret.

  They all chose Qiao Nian because of her exam marks. Who knew that Qiao Qing had surpassed Qiao Nian on that.

  When they remembered the three strong mountains supporting Qiao Qing, their hearts felt cold.

  Mu Jinghang was used to seeing big waves rock around. Though even so, his mouth hung open due to astonishment. Only after a long time did he find his voice again.

  “Sister-in-law is a little too beast. 750? She made history. Her dad didn’t even score this high back then, right?”


  Jun Yexuan crossed his arms and smiled proudly, “Why don’t you see whose woman she is.”


  Mu Jinghang, “.……”


  He Wanqing rocked Qiao Qing’s arm numbly, “Baby, you scored 750?”


  Qiao Qing nodded.

  He Wanqing patted her fast beating chest and with an expression that looked like both a crying and a laughing face, she asked, “Why didn’t you tell mommy?”


  Qiao Qing muttered, “I forgot.”


  He Wanqing, “.……”


  “Haha……”


  Everyone at the scene chuckled, “If I got that mark, I would’ve gloated around the world 700 times. Yet Qiao Qing forgot to tell her mom? She’s so lowkey it’s cute!”


  “Exactly. She got full marks and her mom didn’t even know. She’s not like someone, who got 684 and made sure that every alley and street corner heard about her marks. One is extremely low key, the other gloats uncontrollably – they sure are opposites.”


  Everyone then looked over to Qin Yongmei and Qiao Nian meaningfully.

  Qin Yongmei and Qiao Nian couldn’t raise their heads as they felt everyone’s mocking gaze on them. They wanted to crawl under the ground.

  “Who said the Dean was here to slap face? The slap sure is loud!” Someone picked on the original commenter from before.

  Xu Yingying’s face was partially green and partially white like a palette. However, she continued to talk on Qiao Nian’s behalf, “I don’t get it. What right does everyone have to laugh at Niannian? So Qiao Qing got 750. Does that mean 684 is low? Doesn’t she deserve praises?”


  “Even Ye Fan only got 680. Even if Niannian isn’t the number one scholar, she is number two. She’s still going to UCC. You guys laugh at Niannian, but do you even have high scores?”


  Qin Yongmei’s ugly face looked better. She looked over to Cui Yan, “Dean, even if my Niannian isn’t the scholar, her score is enough to attend UCC, right? Why isn’t there an acceptance letter for us?”


  Cui Yan glanced at Qiao Nian, “You told everyone you got 684?”
