Chapter 159: The Little Girl Was About To Turn Into an Adult?

Mu Jinghang nodded and said, “Third brother, you realized something is not right as well? The Luo family alone shouldn’t have enough power to get the Dean to do that. The Luo family must have someone else who backs them. Or maybe, Luo Chen isn’t from the Luo family.”

Jun Yexuan’s gaze was fixated on the view outside. He didn’t speak.

Because Qin Yongmei’s friends gossiped a lot behind her back, what happened today in the Qiao family circulated around quickly and furiously.

The fact that Qiao Qing declined the Dean’s offer of admission quickly became well-known in the City of Brisk.

Some people praised her actions while others talked down on her. Most people, however, laughed at how dumb she was and how she didn’t know how to grasp onto an opportunity.

There was even a bet started as to whether or not Qiao Qing can get into UCC.

At once, because of her grades, Qiao Qing once again turned into the talk of the town.

As to how Luo Chen was also admitted into the University, most people didn’t dare to discuss that. They all thought it was because the Luo family had utilized their connections.

This was human nature. When it comes to interest and gains, you get laughed at if you lose, and you get talked about if you win.

In the blink of an eye, the countdown to the university entrance exam reached 0.

It was the day of the university entrance exam.

This morning, Qiao Qing sharply rejected He Wanqing’s request to be one of those parents who stood outside the building as their kid wrote the exam.

With one hand in her pocket and one hand holding onto the bag of pencils He Wanqing prepared, she came to the City of Brisk High School as per usual.

The school gate hadn’t opened but the flood of people had made this place a lively one. Even the streets were filled with students, parents, and teachers.

Qiao Qing had planned on finding a shady place to stand in when she saw Qiao Nian walk towards her with a grin.

Qiao Nian seemed to have forgotten all about the unpleasantness from that day. She walked to Qiao Qing and greeted with a gentle voice, “Big sister, so you are writing at our school as well. What a coincidence!”

Qiao Qing didn’t even acknowledge her. She walked to a fig tree and leaned against it while she played on her phone.

Qiao Nian’s face dropped right away and cursed, “You sure can’t recognize who’s being nice to you! We’ll see if you can still act that way when the grades come out!”

At the Qiao manor.

He Wanqing, who was asked to stay home, could not settle down.

She would wipe down the table, then mop the floor. Even after she did all the work her servants normally do, she still couldn’t suppress her nervous heart.

As she wiped down the floor again, she suddenly threw the mop away, “I can’t do it! I need to go guard the school gate!”

“Auntie, Qingqing said you shouldn’t go. You should stay home. If you go, you would distract her.”

That last part of the sentence from Mu Jinghang stopped He Wanqing.

Just then, an unpleasant voice arrived, “Hmm, Wanqing, how come you are home? You didn’t go accompany Qiao Qing to her exam?”

He Wanqing’s face turned cold right away, “You didn’t go with your daughter either. Plus, do you have Alzheimer’s? How do you still have the face to come to my house?!”

Qin Yongmei’s expression froze up, but then she quickly smiled again.

“It’s been so long since what happened. Why would I remember all the unpleasant things in life like you? Even if you want to be mad, you should be mad at how we have been the talk of the town.”

He Wanqing shouted, “Stop talking bullshit to me. What do you want!”

Qin Yongmei no longer circled around the subject, “As you know, it’s almost the two kids’ birthday. They’re turning 18 this year so dad wants them to have one joint celebration. It’ll be to celebrate them becoming adults. Not only will it be a rowdy gathering, but it will also be meaningful.”

“Ever since dad asked me to be in charge of this, I have been so busy! I don’t even have the time to accompany Niannian to her exam.”

“As you know, there are many etiquettes we need to follow for girls turning into adults here in the City of Brisk.”

“I will prepare everything that will be shared between the girls. I’m just here to ask, have you prepared everything for Qingqing?”

He Wanqing yelled back, “You don’t need to worry! Just control your own daughter!”

When Jun Yexuan, who was sitting on the couch, heard those two’s exchanges, he immediately put down the magazine in his hand.

He tapped his fingers against the armrest a few times and the grin from lips reached his eyes.
