Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Qiaoqiao Scored a Big Fat Zero?
Chapter 52 -52: Qiaoqiao Scored a Big Fat Zero?
Liu Yanfang: “With her dullard appearance, it’d be decent if she even passed a community college!”
Mentioning Nan Qiao, Zhou Hongqi’s expression turned quite ugly, “With that dumb look, I remember the last time she took a test she barely scored over three hundred points.”
“Ah?
Then this time, it must mean that sister scored poorly on her college entrance exam.”
“Forget about her, she’s bad luck.
Xiao Ya, let me take you to select a gift for the celebration banquet tonight.”
Zhou Jingya felt refreshed and triumphant over having bested Nan Qiao!
“Mom and Dad, we should also invite sister to celebrate together.
Even though she’s not your biological child, she has lived in our home for some time.
Inviting her would also serve as a way to celebrate for her.”
Liu Yanfang said discontentedly: “Why invite her?
Xiao Ya, you’re so kind to her, but does she deserve it?
She doesn’t deserve it at all.
Let’s not invite her.”
Zhou Jingya: “Mom, by inviting her, you can tell everyone that she’s not a child of our family.
You also know, after sister left our home, she has been mingling with different men.
If she gets recognized, people might think you failed at raising daughters, how would you handle that?”
Upon hearing this, both Zhou Hongqi and Liu Yanfang thought Zhou Jingya made a great point.
Liu Yanfang: “Our Zhou Family cares about our reputation, unlike her family, who have no shame and freely sell their bodies.”
Zhou Hongqi: “Okay, let’s invite her, and use this opportunity to tell everyone we have no relations with that Nan Qiao.”
Zhou Jingya said hesitantly: “But what if sister doesn’t answer my calls?”
Liu Yanfang: “Let me handle this, I dare her not to show up!”
Liu Yanfang’s gaze was sinister; she had plenty of ways to make Nan Qiao attend!
Chen Xinwan, Bai Zhenyang, and Bai Jingrui tiptoed into the study, prepared to secretly check Nan Qiao’s college entrance exam results.
Chen Xinwan: “Let’s quietly check Qiaoqiao’s exam scores.
If they’re not ideal, we can arrange for her.
Whatever school she wants to attend, we’ll make it happen!”
Bai Zhenyang: “Our girl must have scored well!”
Bai Jingrui: “I also believe my sister is smart.
Dad and Mom, you don’t know.
Back in Milan, she could handle three at a time, a single punch could send a cow flying!”
Chen Xinwan: “Okay, quiet down, so nobody else hears us.”
The three of them sat in front of the computer, and Chen Xinwan opened the results page, entering Nan Qiao’s exam registration number.
Bai Zhenyang nervously held a piece of paper in front of the computer screen, trying to cover the score and ease the excitement.
As the paper was slowly moved aside, a zero was revealed.
Chen Xinwan, pressing a hand against her chest said, “Qiaoqiao’s score ends in a zero, Old Bai, move the paper up a bit more.”
Bai Zhenyang shifted the paper forward a bit, then…
The three of them were flabbergasted.
Bai Jingrui rubbed his eyes: “Am I blind?
It seems I’m hallucinating.”
Bai Zhenyang also rubbed his eyes: “Definitely something wrong with your eyes.”
Once Bai Zhenyang had rubbed his eyes and looked again, he only wanted to wash his eyes out, hoping to see more clearly and not hallucinate.
Chen Xinwan sat in the chair, staring at the computer screen, wishing she could bore a hole through it with her gaze.
Chen Xinwan took a deep breath, looked left, then right, and said to the two, “Remember, don’t ever say Qiaoqiao scored zero.
Qiaoqiao has her pride, we mustn’t speak of it.”
Bai Jingrui thought long and hard, wracking his brain but couldn’t understand how his precious sister could have ended up with a big fat zero.
Bai Zhenyang scratched his head: “Damn that Zhou Hongqi!
If it wasn’t for their family sending our girl to the countryside, neglecting her education, she wouldn’t have scored a goose egg!”
Chen Xinwan indignantly said: “Right!
It’s all Zhou Hongqi’s doing!
Even though Qiaoqiao isn’t his daughter, he didn’t realize it either, why treat our precious Qiaoqiao like that?”
Once Bai Jingrui knew the full story, he also spoke angrily: “It’s their fault for ruining my sister’s scores!”
The three sitting at the computer reached a consensus, not to divulge Nan Qiao’s scores, and even hid away the registration slip, fearing that Nan Qiao might look up her score and get upset.
…
Nan Qiao sat at the dining table, having a sandwich, while Chen Xinwan, Bai Zhenyang, and Bai Jingrui continued to feed her a lot of tasty food.
Nan Qiao: “You guys eat too, I’ve already had plenty.”
Chen Xinwan said with a beaming smile, “Qiaoqiao, we’ll go to the mall later.
The gown I ordered for you has arrived; let’s see if it fits.”
Bai Zhenyang added, “Right, your mother sought out Master Qiaoqiao himself for a private commission.
It’s the only one of its kind in the world!”
Nan Qiao: …
She had made that dress herself.
Chen Xinwan continued, “I also bought a gift for myself.
Let’s go try them on together, how about it?”
Nan Qiao nodded, “Okay.”
…
Li Yehan was sitting in his office when Old Mr.
Li’s call came in.
“Ye Han, have you prepared a gift for Qiaoqiao?”
“What do you mean?” Li Yehan’s action of flipping through documents came to a halt.
“Today is the day the college entrance exam scores come out.
Qiaoqiao’s results must have been released by now.
Since I haven’t heard Old Mr.
Bai bragging to me yet, I figure she must have done, well, you know.
At a time like this, you should stick close to Qiaoqiao, give her some gifts to cheer her up, understand?”
Li Yehan glanced at the date marked on the calendar, “I understand.”
“Have you really prepared a gift?”
“I have.
Picked up the gift and am taking them to dinner tonight.”
Old Mr.
Li sounded slightly dissatisfied, “Shouldn’t it be just the two of you?”
Li Yehan replied, “Qiaoqiao’s family wants to celebrate with her more than I do.
They’ve just found Qiaoqiao and will certainly want to be with her on every significant occasion.”
Old Mr.
Li had an epiphany and praised endlessly over the phone, “Ye Han, you have quite the way with courting girls.
Not bad, really good.
Seeing how well you’re managing, I’m at ease.
I’ll arrange to have dinner with Qiaoqiao’s family tonight and say it’s to thank Qiaoqiao for saving my life.”
The old man hung up the phone with a laugh.
…
Zhou Hongqi invited friends and business partners, all to the hotel to celebrate his daughter Zhou Jingya becoming the valedictorian of the college entrance exams.
They booked a banquet hall at Jin Jiang Hotel, which was quite impressive.
Zhou Jingya stood in the banquet hall, radiating in glory, mingling with the guests comfortably and proudly.
Someone curiously asked, “President Zhou, I remember your daughter didn’t look like this.”
Liu Yanfang said, “Nan Qiao isn’t our daughter.
Xiao Ya is our biological child.
She’s the child that was switched at birth with another family and has gone back to her own home now.”
“How did she perform?”
“She is?
Average, probably can’t even get into a community college,” Liu Yanfang said, her expression turning sour.
In the midst of this conversation, the banquet hall’s door swung open.
Everyone’s gaze turned toward the sound.
Standing at the entrance of the banquet hall was a girl with delicate features and a commanding presence.
She wore a silver gown that sparkled with numerous beads and sequins that were dazzling to behold.
Nan Qiao, with light makeup, bright eyes, and white teeth, looked as though she carried the brilliance of the stars in her eyes.
The long-sleeved gown was conservative, yet because of Nan Qiao’s excellent figure, it accentuated her curves exquisitely.
Upon her entrance, she drew all eyes to her.
The woman who was speaking with Liu Yanfang whispered, “Didn’t you say Nan Qiao went back to the countryside?
The outfit she’s wearing is the latest masterpiece from designer Huai Xi, worth ten million.
How can a poor girl afford to wear a ten million haute couture?”
Liu Yanfang gritted her teeth; she too wanted to know how Nan Qiao could possibly be wearing such an expensive couture!
Just then, an urgent voice sounded from behind.
“Zhou, hurry, Zhou is right here…”
