Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1141: True Proof (17)

```

Provincial city, Donghui Community.

Carrying bags big and small, Wang Chen knocked on the door of Room 501, Building 7.

The door was opened by a charming middle-aged woman, who, seeing Wang Chen at the door, nodded her head: "Come in."

Then she turned her head and shouted loudly into the room: "Zhengyang, Xiao Chen is here!"

This woman was Wang Chen’s aunt, Tian Wenxiu.

"Coming! Coming!"

As soon as her words fell, a man with an apron tied around his waist and wearing glasses rushed out of the kitchen, and said to Wang Chen with a beaming smile: "Xiao Chen, you’re here."

Wang Chen had already called beforehand, so he knew that Wang Chen was coming to the house.

"Mhm."

Wang Chen set down the things in his hands, and politely greeted: "Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie."

This uncle of Wang Chen, Wang Zhengyang, is considered the most educated member of the Wang Clan, having been admitted to a university in the provincial city in his early years, later pursuing graduate studies, and after graduating, entered a government position through civil service exams.

As of now, he is a section chief of moderate rank.

A civil servant of the regular section rank.

And Aunt Tian Wenxiu was Wang Zhengyang’s university classmate, her father once held the position of deputy director of a certain bureau in the provincial city and provided considerable help to his son-in-law during the early stages of Wang Zhengyang’s career.

Moreover, with Tian Wenxiu’s strong-willed personality and Wang Zhengyang’s rather soft nature, this household has always been dominated by the former.

In his previous life, Wang Chen, while studying at No.5 Middle School, knew that this younger aunt did not take much liking to the relatives from Wang Zhengyang’s old home; therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would never visit and disturb them.

This visit was mainly to bring some homemade smoked meat and dried vegetables for his uncle.

After all, without Wang Zhengyang’s help, Wang Chen wouldn’t have been able to attend No.5 Middle School.

"Have a seat for a moment."

Wang Zhengyang was still holding a frying spatula, and from the living room, one could smell the aroma coming from the kitchen: "Two more dishes to go, they will be ready soon."

Tian Wenxiu, being the only daughter in her family, has been pampered since childhood. After marrying Wang Zhengyang, he has been in charge of cooking and house chores.

Wang Chen’s mother often complained about this, and also reminded Wang Chen that when looking for a wife in the future, it didn’t matter whether the family was well-off or whether she was beautiful or not.

But she definitely had to be capable!

Until the time Wang Chen transmigrated, he had yet to fulfill his mother’s wish to marry a virtuous and capable wife.

"Alright."

Wang Chen brought the smoked meat and dried vegetables all the way to the kitchen, along with the packaging bag: "Uncle, this is what mom asked me to bring to you. If you finish eating and want more, just call her and she will make some more and send it over."

"Alright!"

Wang Zhengyang was very happy: "I love the smoked meat your sister-in-law makes the most, steamed with dried vegetables tastes the best. Don’t stay here, go watch TV in the living room. Wenxiu~"

He shouted toward the living room: "Turn on the TV."

Tian Wenxiu hummed softly but still picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV.

At this moment, the door of a bedroom opened, and out walked a tall and graceful young girl.

She flashed a big smile at Wang Chen: "Brother."

"Xiaomeng."

Wang Chen smiled: "Long time no see, how did your middle school exams go?"

Her name was Wang Xiaomeng, the only daughter of Wang Zhengyang and one year younger than Wang Chen.

Although they met infrequently, Wang Chen had a good relationship with this younger sister.

When Wang Chen mentioned the middle school exams, Tian Wenxiu immediately showed a proud expression: "I forgot to tell you, Xiaomeng scored a total of 725 points in the middle school exams, and has already been officially accepted by First Middle School!"

Of course, Wang Chen was aware of this, but now he had to pretend as if he didn’t know: "That’s great!"

```

"What’s so good about that!"

Tian Wenxiu added with an air of frustration, "Her Chinese didn’t do well, lost too many points on the essay. Otherwise, she would be just five points away from the top-tier universities class at No. 1 High School!"

Continuing to ramble on: "I feel almost embarrassed to host a graduation party for her."

Among all the high schools in the provincial city, No. 1 High School stands undisputed at the top, and it has established a class for top-tier universities.

It is the elite of the elite classes.

Getting into this class, even the worst performer would still be among the top tier of the 985 universities!

However, Wang Chen knew that Wang Xiaomeng did manage to get into the top-tier universities class at No. 1 High School during her second semester of junior year, not because of her grades but through connections, resulting in excessive academic pressure which led to her dropping out after sophomore year class division.

After that, she was only able to get into a 211 normal university.

Wang Xiaomeng once complained to Wang Chen, saying that her mom was like the Empress Dowager, suffocating her with academic pressure. Moreover, her mom pulled strings to forcefully place her in the top-tier universities class, where she was beaten down by the academic elites.

At that time, Xiaomeng almost fell into depression and took a long time to recover.

Otherwise, with her capabilities, getting into a 985 university wouldn’t have been a problem.

Now, hearing Tian Wenxiu speak like this, Wang Xiaomeng made faces at Wang Chen, winking and sticking out her tongue in jest.

Wang Chen was amused by his sister: "That’s already very impressive!"

"Right."

Tian Wenxiu further inquired: "Little Chen, how did you do on your final exams this time? Did you make it into the top three thousand in the city?"

Wang Chen knew his aunt was competitive and cared a lot about appearances, and although she liked making comparisons, she wasn’t a bad person, and her inquiry held no malice.

So he took out his newly refined Magical Treasure — his report card — for her to see.

Tian Wenxiu was instantly stunned, at a loss for words.

Wang Xiaomeng, curious, leaned over and her eyes widened in amazement: "Wow, big brother, you’re amazing, 27th place in the entire city!"

Tian Wenxiu always told her that her brother was an average student, who got into No. 5 High School by paying a tuition fee of thirty thousand yuan.

There wasn’t much hope for him.

And yet, Wang Chen scored 27th place in the entire city!

"What are you yelling about!"

Tian Wenxiu’s expression fluctuated as she waved the report card in her hand uncontrollably: "Little Chen, this score of yours..."

"Auntie, I received a scholarship of fifteen thousand yuan," Wang Chen interjected calmly, "and I won’t have to pay the tuition fee next semester."

"Haha!"

At this moment, Wang Zhengyang ran out of the kitchen and patted Wang Chen on the shoulder with force: "Good lad, released a huge satellite, big brother and sister-in-law must be thrilled!"

He had heard everything loud and clear and was genuinely happy for Wang Chen.

Wang Zhengyang had no doubt about Wang Chen’s performance.

Wang Xiaomeng clamored: "Treat, treat, brother, you need to treat us!"

Wang Chen gave her an "OK" gesture.

Tian Wenxiu forced a smile, handing back the report card to Wang Chen: "Not bad, you have to keep it up, you have hope for top-tier universities."

She always looked down on Wang Chen’s family a bit.

Now that Wang Chen’s academic performance had surpassed her daughter’s by a long shot, her feelings were inevitably complex.

But Xiaomeng didn’t care about all that, pulling Wang Chen and chattering nonstop, making the atmosphere in the house quite harmonious.
