The brim of the girlâs hat was lowered, so her face couldnât be seen clearly, but she still felt a disgusting aura from the upright figure on the screen.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Nian!
âMom, I wonât be back this month. Iâm going to an award ceremony with my teacher in a few days. Iâm one of the invited guests. Iâll tell you in advance. Help me tell Dad, too.â
Shen Qiongzhi returned to her senses and stopped watching the television. Her attention returned to the call. âChen Chen, youâre not coming back again?â Ever since the joint examination, Qiao Chen had followed Wei Ling back to Beijing. She had not returned once since.
After all, she was her biological daughter. Shen Qiongzhi only had her. It would be a lie to say that she did not miss her.
âCanât you take a day offâ¦? Rao City and Beijing are not far apart. It will only take three hours by plane.â
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by an impatient Qiao Chen. âThe plane only takes three hours, but it will also take six hours to go back and forth. In half a day, I still have to go to the airport to board the plane. Iâll have to be on the plane for a security check. Iâll spend the entire day on the plane just to come back for a meal. After dinner, I have to leave quickly again. Mom, Iâve been busy with the music arrangement recently, you know.â
Hearing her words, Shen Qiongzhi could not say anything else. Her tone became weak. ââ¦I know.â
She was quite indignant. Holding the phone, her knuckles turned white as she whispered, âBut your father and I miss you very muchâ¦â
Qiao Chen seemed to be very busy on the other end of the line. The sound of a page being flipped was heard. She paused for a moment before saying, âI understand. Iâll find a time to come back after attending that event.â
Shen Qiongzhi immediately grinned. She was extremely happy. âOkay. Tell me in advance when youâre coming back. Iâll clean your room and change your bedsheets.â ââ¦Okay.â Qiao Chen was quite busy writing the music arrangement. Over the past few days, Steven had been urging her harder and harder, but there was no progress in her new song. Although the call lasted for less than five minutes, she was already frowning, and her expression was impatient. âMom, Iâm done talking to you. Iâm hanging up.â âAh, so fast?â
Shen Qiongzhi didnât want to hang up yet. Coincidentally, the television was still showing the girl being blocked by the reporters for an interview. The girl seemed to be extremely impatient from the questions. At this moment, she looked up and revealed the cold and exquisite face under the brim of her hat. The stunned reporter did not recover from her shock for a long time. Then, it was that arrogant answer.
Full marks!
Shen Qiongzhi looked at the wilful girl in front of the camera and pursed her lips. Her eyes were filled with disgust and hatred as she whispered, âQiao Nian went on TV.â
Qiao Chen was about to hang up when she heard this. She paused. âWhat?â âDidnât she take the college entrance examination? She was the first to hand in her paper for the last examination today and was interviewed by the reporters outside.â
Shen Qiongzhi held her phone in one hand and clenched her fists by her side as she said disdainfully.
âThe reporter asked her how difficult the exam was and how many marks she could get. How do you think she answered?â
âHow did she answer?â Qiao Chen heard the name she had not heard for a long time. Her tone was very cold, similar to Shen Qiongzhiâs. It was the same tone as when she did not even want to mention something.
Shen Qiongzhi sneered and picked up the remote control to switch off the TV. She rolled her eyes. âHer? She said she would get full marks.â
