After dinner, of course, we had a heart-to-heart talk.

Everyone sat in the living room chatting happily and having a great time.

Chu Wentao went out to answer a phone call and came back looking constipated.

Yu Xuehui was very surprised, as she rarely saw Chu Wentao with such a solemn expression at home.

"What's wrong? Did something happen at the company?"

That's not right!

Chu Wentao is someone who keeps his personal life and career separate; he doesn't bring negative emotions from the company home.

She's been doing this for over twenty years, so it's puzzling what could possibly make her husband look so bad.

"No, it was Ningning's homeroom teacher who called about the test."

"What happened to this test? Ningning's grades have always been among the best."

Chu Wentao glanced at Chu Jiangning and said, "Tell your mother what kind of grades you got this time."

Chu Jiangning looked guilty and pleaded with Chu Jiangyi, but the latter ignored him and chatted happily with his brothers, not giving Chu Jiangning a single extra glance.

"Haha... Actually, I did quite well on the exam. My grades in all subjects were among the top, and I was in the top three in the class. I feel pretty good about myself."

Chu Wentao shot him a gloomy look and said sarcastically, "Really? How many points did you get on your chemistry test?"

Chu Jiangning's face stiffened. It seemed that her homeroom teacher had informed her father about her grades in this monthly exam, which was truly a headache.

"I don't like chemistry."

Chu Wentao sneered, "Yeah, if you don't like chemistry, you can sleep in class. Your grades in all subjects are pretty good, but you only got such a low score in chemistry. Your chemistry teacher probably thinks you have a problem with her. Why did you do so well in all subjects but get the worst score in chemistry? I'm embarrassed to even mention how low your score was. Tell me how many points you got in chemistry."

Chu Jiangning scratched her head sheepishly. Her father had really gone too far this time, making her announce her score in front of so many people. Didn't she have any pride?

"What's there to say about this score? I'll definitely do better next time."

"You? Sleeping in chemistry class? Do you think you can learn chemistry well?"

Chu Jiang, who was listening from the side, was completely confused. "Chu Jiangning, what score did you get on your chemistry test this time? You made your parents so angry. Did you fail?"

Chu Jiangning glared angrily at Chu Jiangyi, "It's none of your business. You should think more about your own relationship problems."

"You...you brat, you really don't appreciate kindness."

"None of your business."

"Alright! Stop arguing, honey, what score did Ningning get on her test this time?"

Chu Wentao took a deep breath. "My grades in other subjects are pretty good, and the teachers have praised me. But I only got 9 points in chemistry. I've never seen a subject be this unbalanced before. It makes me so angry."

Yu Xuehui looked at Chu Wentao in disbelief and asked again, "You said 9 points, not 99 points?"

"If she can get 99 points in chemistry, I'll be laughing in my dreams. I've checked three times, the teacher said 9 points."

Yu Xuehui stared wide-eyed at everything in disbelief. "Ningning, how did you get this score? Even if you chose with your eyes closed, you wouldn't get this many points. You're already in your final year of junior high, and you'll be going to high school soon. Your grades are really not good enough."

"Chemistry is different from other subjects. If you don't lay a foundation in junior high school, it will become more and more difficult as you learn it, and you will struggle a lot."
