Ming Jing walked in and saw several teachers busy writing at their desks.
As Ming Jing entered, the other class teachers looked up at her simultaneously.
Ming Jingâs name was well-known, but there were only a few teachers who had actually met her in person other than the ones who taught her.
Unexpectedly, she was such a beautiful girl. There were still many legendary things about her â born in a wealthy family, she was the true heiress who had been lost outside for many years. As for the fake heiressâ¦
Several teachers turned their gaze to the headteacher of Class 1, Zou Wei.
The fake heiress, Zhu Xiangxiang, was his proud student. Teachers often gossiped about her in their spare time to add some excitement to their dull lives. They had enjoyed the recent drama about the true and fake heiresses in the Zhu family.
Zou Wei coughed and glanced at Ming Jing, who bowed her head and worked.
âMing Jing, the reason I called you here is to discuss the Math Olympiad competition scheduled for this week. Go and discuss the training class with your family. Hereâs the registration form. Fill it out and give me a call.â
Huang Liang handed her the registration form: âThis time, our school has registered a total of five students, but the teachers have high hopes for you and Song Yinzhang. We hope you two wonât let the teachers and school down.â
After Ming Jing left, the headteacher of Class 2 sighed, âMr. Huang, youâre so lucky. Your underachieving class suddenly got a top student, which has raised your classâs average score and surpassed Class 7. Youâre no longer the worst, and it looks like youâll keep this monthâs bonus.â
The headteacher of Class 7âs face turned sour.
Huang Liang coughed and said with a smile, âI remember back then that Director Zhao wanted to move Ming Jing to your class, Mr. Li. It seems you pitied me, knowing my financial difficulties, and deliberately gave up the bonus to me.â
Mr. Li, the headteacher of Class 2, stiffened at these words, feeling that he had unknowingly dug his own grave by trying to mock others.
As soon as Zhu Xiangxiang entered the house, she saw Zhu Wenjie sitting on the living room sofa eating fruit, and she sensed something was wrong.
As expected, Zhu Wenjie asked, âXiangxiang, todayâs the day you received your test scores, right? You must have done well. Show me so your cousin can learn from you.â
Zhou Bao scoffed, âNever mind, if I want to learn from anyone, itâll be my cousin Ming Jing.â
Granny Zhu also asked from the side, âHow did you do on this test?â Zhu Xiangxiangâs face stiffened, âWell⦠I did okay, I guess.â
âShow your test scores to Granny, Iâve already prepared your red envelope.â
Zhu Xiangxiang reluctantly walked over and handed the test scores to her. Zhu Wenjie snatched them first and read aloud. âMath 105, Chinese 109, English 111, Physics 82⦠total 739.â
âRank 87 in the whole grade and 32 in the class.â
Zhu Wenjie raised her voice by several octaves, making sure every corner of the villa could hear. She looked at Zhu Xiangxiang incredulously, âXiangxiang, are these really your test scores? Werenât you always in the top ten before?â
Zhu Xiangxiang snatched her test scores back, her face burning with humiliation.
Granny Zhu frowned at her and sighed.
Just then, Zhou Bao exclaimed excitedly, âCousin Ming Jingâs back!â Zhou Bao, like a happy little bird, excitedly ran out, âCousin Ming Jing, can I take a peek at your test scores?â
Ming Jing always indulged her cute little cousin and took the test scores out of her bag to give to her.
Zhou Bao treasured the scores like a priceless gem, and incredulously said, âCousin, youâre incredible! Full scores in every subject except Chinese! â
Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly turned her head, her face pale as she stared at Ming Jing.
Zhu Wenjie took a look and exclaimed, âThe first in the entire grade. This is so strange, our Zhu family doesnât have the top student gene.â
Granny Zhu laughed, âMing Jing has really brought honor to our family. I must burn incense and pray to her grandfather. Heâll be thrilled in heaven to see how outstanding she is.â
Zhu Xiangxiang wished she could disappear on the spot.
Zhu Wenjie, however, had no intention of letting her off easy, âXiangxiang, I remember you used to do well in school. What happened? You should learn more from Ming Jing.â
âMom, Ming Jing didnât receive education since childhood, but as soon as she came back, she scored full marks. What does this mean? It just means sheâs a genius. Thereâs a wide gap between a genius and ordinary people, like the Milky Way. Donât embarrass Xiangxiang. I guess this is the best she can do,â Zhou Bao said.
Zhu Xiangxiangâs face burned as Zhou Baoâs words made her sound like a fool.
Zhu Wenjie feigned a sigh, âA dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, a ratâs son can dig holes. I finally understand the meaning of this saying. All the money my big sister-in-law spent nurturing Xiangxiang for more than a decade has gone down the drain.â
âAlright, stop it. The child must feel terrible. Xiangxiang, just do your best next time, and donât listen to your aunt,â Granny Zhu comforted her.
Zhu Xiangxiang reluctantly replied, âYes.â
Zhou Bao secretly took a photo of Ming Jingâs test scores with her phone before returning them to Ming Jing.
Ming Jing and Zhu Xiangxiang went upstairs together. With her back to the others, Zhu Xiangxiang murmured, âZhu Mingjing, you must be very happy now. â
Ming Jing smiled, âJust as you wished.â
Zhu Xiangxiang was furious, but Ming Jing had already left her and returned to her room.
Downstairs, Granny Zhu asked Zhu Wenjie, âWhat do you want?â
âMom, listen to you. Canât I visit you if I have nothing to do?â
âYou wouldnât come unless you had a good reason. I know what youâre like. Just speak up and get it over with,â Granny Zhu said impatiently.
Zhu Wenjie lowered her voice and looked around, âMom, Lin Qingâs not here, right?â
âSheâs your sister-in-law.â
Zhu Wenjie scoffed, âNot for long.â
Granny Zhu narrowed her eyes, âWhat do you mean?â
Zhu Wenjie leaned in mysteriously, âIâll tell you the truth, mom. My brother plans to divorce Lin Qing and drive her out of the house. The Zhu familyâs fortune will still be firmly in your and my brotherâs hands.â
âNonsense,â Granny Zhu pointed at her nose and scolded, âGet out of here.â
Zhu Wenjie snorted, âWhy are you getting angry at me? Itâs Lin Qing who couldnât hold onto her man. She brought it upon herself. Besides, sheâs not good to you either. Wouldnât it be better to have a new daughter-in-law who treats you with respect?â
âAn old wife shouldnât be too easily discarded. If Zhou Ping divorced you now and married someone else, could you laugh it off?â Zhu Wenjie snorted, âHe dares! Iâll skin him alive..â
