Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 427: After All, He Doesn’t Want to Lose Face!

"I’ll go make a call and see what’s going on. You go eat first," Wang Fengsong said as she pushed Mu Yanming away slightly, her tone steady.

But Mu Yanming was like a restless madman, scratching his head vigorously. "Eat? What do you think I can eat right now? Do you really think I have the mood to eat?"

"If you don’t eat, do you want to die? Should I have to comfort you first? I won’t think of ways to help you!" Wang Fengsong lowered her voice again.

After saying that, she prepared to go to the study to make a call. But before she left, she added with concern, "Before I come back, you’d better stay in your room quietly and don’t go out. Look at you; you definitely look like you’re in trouble. Do you want everyone to know?"

Mu Yanming, feeling irritated, pursed his lips but still obediently sat down in a chair. "Got it, hurry up."

Wang Fengsong sighed helplessly and then went to the study. In just a few minutes, she had thought of many things in her mind. Was this incident related to the girl she saw yesterday? Was it directed at her or just a coincidence? Now, she needed to find someone to resolve this matter. How could the school calm down?

If it couldn’t be settled, it would be hard to handle lightly. It was best not to disclose Yanming’s results, so she could let him find a reason for physical discomfort and withdraw from school first. This matter absolutely could not be exposed; otherwise, her son’s life would be ruined.

The more Wang Fengsong thought, the more her head ached. After calling several people, the news she received made her feel relieved on one hand, but on the other hand, her head felt like it was going to explode. She sat dejectedly on a single sofa, covering her face and desperately thinking about what options were still available.

However, Mu Yanming, who had long lost his patience, ran in at this moment. Seeing his usually calm mother in such a state made his legs weak. "Mom? What’s the situation now? Do I still have a way out?"

"First, come downstairs with me, eat quietly, and this afternoon I’ll accompany you to withdraw from school," Wang Fengsong said, her spirit seeming to have been drained.

But upon hearing this, Mu Yanming immediately refused. "I won’t withdraw! I’d rather die than withdraw! If you make me withdraw now, everyone in the courtyard isn’t stupid; how could I ever lift my head again in this life!"

Wang Fengsong glared at him, her expression one of disbelief as she looked at him like he was a fool. "If you don’t withdraw now, are you waiting to be publicly criticized by the whole school? Then it won’t just be that everyone knows; everyone will know for sure. Moreover, a stain will be left on your record, and no matter what you do in the future, you’ll never have a chance to rise again, not even to return to the department."

She gritted her teeth, emphasizing the consequences word for word. Mu Yanming’s face immediately turned ashen. But soon after, he glared at Wang Fengsong with resentment. "It’s all your fault! I told you I didn’t want to take the National College Entrance Examination; why did you insist on me going? I was doing well at work! If I just worked a couple more years, I could definitely be promoted. You ruined me! I don’t care; you must handle this matter well."

His words were practically a tantrum. "Handle it? What can I do about it? When the National College Entrance Examination wasn’t restored, I kept reminding you to study hard, but you wouldn’t listen. I didn’t want you to go to university. Do you think you still have any chance to rise in the department?

Restoring the National College Entrance Examination means that in the future, only those who have attended university can hold high positions in all walks of life. If you don’t have a college diploma, even if you work until you die, you’ll still be beneath your cousin’s position." Wang Fengsong was infuriated. If he weren’t her son, she would have slapped him across the face.

Even giving birth to a bun would be better than giving birth to this fool. If it weren’t for the necessity of having a child to secure her position as Mrs. Mu, she wouldn’t have given birth to such a burden.

But now Wang Fengsong had no choice. She and her son were in this together, for better or worse. Especially since the entire Jingdu City knew that her relationship with Mu Xiaowei was very poor. If it weren’t for their only grandson, they probably would have divorced long ago. So now, she could only endure and analyze the situation with Mu Yanming.

But after hearing this, he nodded seriously, "Right! I want to rise higher than my dad, so I must be a university graduate from the best university in the country. Mom, you see you understand, so I can’t withdraw! You’re so capable; think of a way for me; you must not let me get in trouble!"

Wang Fengsong looked at him, feeling he might really be somewhat mentally challenged. "Can’t you understand human speech? This exam is being conducted by all the schools in Jingdu City together. Moreover, the ones grading the papers are not just any school teachers but professors from research institutes. These people are usually kept secret, and I have no access to know which professors are grading papers for Qing University.

And your exam was at eight in the morning, with the papers submitted by ten-thirty. They started grading immediately. If grades don’t come out today, they’ll come out tomorrow. Furthermore, this time it’s not under the control of the education authorities, but directly overseen by the two highest officials of the team and the top three leaders. Do you think I have the ability to contact any of these three sides?"

Wang Fengsong simply laid out the seriousness of the situation in detail to Mu Yanming. Not waiting for him to act foolishly again, she continued, "Moreover, the higher-ups have already stated that if someone is caught cheating in their grades, they will be imprisoned directly for a minimum of three years. If someone buys or sells grades with their own consent, it will be five years with family consent.

If someone secretly steals someone else’s grades, they will be sentenced to eight years directly. The top leaders are furious about this matter and are demanding a thorough investigation. I’m telling you to withdraw from school; this is the only way to save you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yanming realized this matter was not something that could be easily solved by just contacting a few people. The names mentioned by his mother were ones he wouldn’t dare think about on a normal day.

All of his strength seemed to drain away, and he collapsed to the ground. But soon after, he still reluctantly raised his head, pleading with Wang Fengsong, who wanted to help him up. "Mom, can’t we let Dad intervene? Dad can contact those people, right?"

Although his father had never liked him much since childhood, he was still his only son and the only grandson of the Mu family. His grandmother still cared for him a lot.
