Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 292 Not Worthy of My Yueyue
Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Not Worthy of My Yueyue
Jiang Qiong and Xiao Feng watched him expressionlessly.
The voice of the TV host echoed, "At Lancheng High School, Yun Yue..."
Then, looking at the reaction of these two...
Housekeeper Xiao almost choked, his eyes rounded in shock, unable to utter a complete sentence, "Yun Yun Yun... The national top scorer... Is Miss Yun?!"
Xiao Feng plunged his knife into the watermelon, cleaving it into two halves, and said without expression, "That’s right!"
Housekeeper Xiao trembled; Xiao Feng knew how to give someone a fright too. He turned his head to look at Jiang Qiong.
Jiang Qiong proudly lifted her chin, "Oh my, my daughter-in-law scored full marks."
Housekeeper Xiao felt like slapping himself, "Madam, why didn’t you clarify earlier? At my age, you nearly scared me to faint."
So it turned out that all these people knew full marks meant 750, not 100. No wonder the madam had looked like she’d seen a ghost at the time.
Jiang Qiong gave him a glance, "If you misunderstood, that’s your own fault."
Housekeeper Xiao: "..."
No wonder Principal Ding had made several calls, and she didn’t answer any.
Previously, to get her to arrange for Miss Yun to attend Jing University, he hadn’t spared any effort in persuasion, stuffing many good things her way. Now, not only would Principal Ding have to cough up all that he had received, but he might also have to throw in some extra.
He actually felt a pang of sympathy.
At that moment, her phone rang again; it was still from Principal Ding.
She wiped her hands leisurely before slowly picking up the phone and speaking with a composed and casual tone, "Principal Ding, what’s up?"
Ding Mingjiu knew she would respond like that, feeling utterly frustrated.
The high school top scorer was called Yun Yue from Lancheng High School, and the girl she asked him to arrange for was also called Yun Yue from Lancheng High School.
How could it be such a coincidence in the world!
So he guessed it might be the same person, and when she hadn’t answered his calls, he knew for sure it was the same person!
She was feigning confusion with clear understanding, trying to drive him crazy.
"I won’t beat around the bush with you. Are the national high school top scorer Yun Yue and that Yun Yue you mentioned the same person?"
Several schools had already started poaching; he had to hurry, he must snatch her for Jing University.
The corners of Jiang Qiong’s lips curled slightly, "Yes."
Ding Mingjiu was choked up, already on his way to the airport, "I agreed to what you said before, full waiver of tuition and fees, allocation of a large amount of resources and bonuses every year."
"But the president of A Da and the president of Beijing University just reached out to me as well. So you see... I’ll have to think it over," said Jiang Qiong, her voice as serene as ever.
Housekeeper Xiao stood silently to the side. In reality, Principal Ding didn’t need to be so anxious because Miss Yun was set on attending Jing University.
His rush only made him a prime target for exploitation.
Jiang Qiong smiled. Previously, to arrange for Yun Yue’s admission, she had promised him many benefits. Now, it wouldn’t feel right not to give him a hard time about it.
Ding Mingjiu was close to spitting blood, gritting his teeth, "What more is there to consider?!"
Jiang Qiong said, "Didn’t you previously seem reluctant to have her enroll in Jing University? I think A Da next door and Beijing University both offer decent conditions."
Ding Mingjiu nearly choked on his own frustration; what was she playing at with all this?
Deliberately complicating things for him.
Obviously, the younger generation had done so well, but she insisted on pulling strings for her, with outrageous demands. As the president of Jing University, how could he possibly agree?
Now he was at a loss, but he could only whisper soothingly.
Once he appeased her, everything would be negotiable.
After hanging up, the smile on Jiang Qiong’s face slowly faded.
Every year, Jing University, A Da, and Beijing University would fiercely compete for the top examinees. This year was no exception, and surely Yueyue’s phone had been ringing non-stop.
Housekeeper Xiao wore a helpless expression, knowing that when the madam got obstinate, not even the old master or young master could handle her.
Jiang Qiong’s phone rang again, and seeing it was Lin Xiang, she quickly answered.
"A banquet? Tonight? I will definitely be there."
Jiang Qiong stood up, smiling as she spoke, "The Lin family is hosting a banquet to celebrate properly, we should go over for dinner tonight."
"Let’s go, my daughter-in-law’s prestige must not be overlooked. Put up banners and spread the word on all the major online forums."
Jiang Qiong grabbed her phone, planning to call Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen, as if he had expected this, had already finished his business and was on his way back to the country.
Housekeeper Xiao, seeing her determination, knew she was rallying support for Miss Yun.
But what kind of people could they possibly invite in a place like Lancheng?
**
Gu Family.
Gu Cong watched the silent figure eating at the table. This kid, after spending a year in Lancheng, seemed to have toned down his temper quite a bit.
"Master, all the results from this year’s college entrance exam are out," Housekeeper Gu stood next to Gu Cong.
Gu Cong continued eating, and Housekeeper Gu added, "The second young master and Lin Xuanze tied for third place, Ruan Yingtong is second, and Miss Yun is first."
Gu Cong paused slightly, his gentle and jade-like brow furrowing.
Had Gu Yue clenched the chopsticks in his hand too tightly? Was he not satisfied with his own score?
After all, he scored 747, two points more than the target he had set for himself.
"Are you talking about the little junior sister?" Gu Cong was somewhat surprised. The little junior sister, a star who had countless films and advertisements to shoot every day, and still had to practice the piano in her spare time, could score so high?
Gu Yue was speechless...
Wasn’t his little junior sister a celebrity?
Why was she so impressive?
He took a bite of his food, feeling somewhat bland and uninterested.
His phone buzzed, a message from Yang Xing.
[Are you coming to Sister Yue’s celebration banquet?]
He frowned and glanced at the person across from him, whose complexion seemed to have improved.
Housekeeper Gu worried endlessly about these two brothers; clearly, they cared about each other, yet they acted as if they were indifferent.
"The young master did well on the test this time, thanks to Miss Yun."
Gu Yue spoke up, "I’ll return to Lancheng tonight for Yun Yue’s celebration banquet."
Gu Cong put down his chopsticks and spoke elegantly, "Go ahead."
Yun Yue would definitely become a key figure in several major laboratories. Where she decided to align herself would inevitably affect the positions of various powers in Beijing. Building a good relationship with her was certainly not a loss.
But why did that name sound so familiar to him? It seemed like he had heard it somewhere before.
He didn’t think much about it, assuming he had heard it from Housekeeper Gu.
**
Ji Family.
Ji Xian’s usually stern and authoritative face showed a rare smile when he saw Yun Yue’s results.
"Miss scored 750 points?!" Housekeeper Ji’s eyes widened. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things wrong.
Even more outstanding than Miss Wenjun had been!
If Yun Yue were to take over the Ji Family’s affairs, the family would undoubtedly stand strong for decades.
Ji Xian knew Yun Yue was intelligent, and the exam had been difficult this time. He had figured a score around 700 would suffice. He didn’t expect her to ace the test as if she had cheated!
This was indeed a huge surprise to him.
He knew very well what the title of top national scholar signified.
His hand, resting on the cane, trembled slightly, "Housekeeper, what do you think about breaking off the engagement with the Xiao Family? Suddenly, I feel Xiao Chen is unworthy of my Yueyue."
Housekeeper Ji replied, "...Indeed unworthy." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Xiao Chen himself had only scored 748 points.
