When Yan Yaoyao knelt down, Yan Shu and Song Yinsheng's faces turned cold.

My knees are still so weak.

Yan Shu didn't used to think that genes determined everything; she always felt that upbringing was more important.

Since meeting Yan Yaoyao, she has changed her mind.

Despite the same educational approach, Yan Yaoyao is an exception.

"If you really know you were wrong, you should know that you shouldn't have shown up today," Yan Shu said sternly.

To ruin someone else's good mood for no reason.

Yan Yaoyao was stunned; she hadn't been speaking like this just now.

"mom……"

Yan Shu waved her hand dismissively, "My daughter is right there, so don't call me 'Mom'!"

Every time she called out "Mom," Yan Shu felt uncomfortable.

Song Yinsheng patted Yan Shu on the shoulder, "I'll talk to her."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Yan Yaoyao's heart, "Dad..."

Song Yinsheng walked to the side and waved to her.

"Come here first."

Yan Yaoyao got up from the ground, a look of joy on her face.

"dad……"

"You should change how you address me. I'm not your father. My daughter's name is Yan Qiao."

These words made Yan Yaoyao's heart sink, and tears welled up again.

"Do you really not recognize me anymore? Am I really so unforgivable, so heinous?"

Song Yinsheng smiled gently and waved his hand.

“Yaoyao, you’re almost 20 now. You’re no longer that little baby crying for your parents to nurse. Your childhood wasn’t lacking, and it won’t become a trauma that you have to spend the rest of your life healing from. In other words, at this age, whether you have parents or not makes no difference to you.”

"Of course there's a difference! Without you, I'd be an orphan. You have no idea what my life was like in the Yan family..."

Although Song Yinsheng's attitude was gentle, he interrupted her forcefully: "We don't need to know, because this is your choice."

Yan Yaoyao looked at him with disappointment.

"I'll say it again: if you're dissatisfied with the Yan family, then leave. You can't be like this, enjoying the benefits others receive while stabbing them in the back. Your goal now should be to study hard and complete your studies, not to spend your life making mistakes and apologizing."

All Song Yinsheng saw in Yan Yaoyao was accumulated disappointment.

She was complacent about her superior living conditions, but always neglected the things she should be doing at her age.

Yan Yaoyao's face fell.

"I understand, I will study hard."

Song Yinsheng didn't take those words to heart.

Whether she studies well or not is no longer his concern.

Yan Shu stood up and asked, "Has Old Song finished speaking? We should get going."

Yan Yaoyao hesitated for a long time, but finally asked, "Where are you going?"

Even though no one wanted to talk to her, out of politeness, Song Yinsheng still said, "Let's go out for a meal."

Yan Yaoyao gave a dry "oh".

She was already here, but none of them offered her an invitation.

She had to admit that she had been excluded by them.

"Is this to celebrate Yan Qiao's exam? Did she do very well? Congratulations!"

Yan Shu said in a light tone, "It's alright. We don't expect her to get good grades. We just want her to be safe and sound. Nothing is more important than her safety and health."

To Yan Yaoyao, her words meant that Yan Qiao hadn't done well on the exam.

No wonder they were so secretive and dared not reveal their true achievements.

It turns out he didn't do well on the exam at all.

Yan Yaoyao's gloating expression did not escape the eyes of Song Yinsheng and Yan Shu.

This child is fundamentally flawed.

Forget about forgiveness; everything she did was driven by self-interest.

Shi Yuehua never looked at her directly from beginning to end, and simply said, "Let's go."

Having received the answer she wanted, Yan Yaoyao took the initiative to leave.

"Then I won't disturb your dinner party."

She was the first to walk out.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw several reporters with cameras, clearly there to interview Yan Qiao.

Although the reporters were somewhat disappointed when they saw Yan Yaoyao, they still surrounded her.

"Yan Yaoyao, what are you doing here? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"You and Yan Qiao don't get along, so why are you here?"

Are you here to congratulate her?

Yan Yaoyao smiled and tucked a stray hair behind her ear.

"I'm here to congratulate her. Although her grades weren't ideal, it wasn't easy for Yan Qiao to successfully complete the college entrance examination, so I came here specifically to congratulate her."

The reporters fell silent.

"Did Yan Qiao do poorly on the exam?"

"Who told you that?"

How do you know she didn't do well on the test? Did she tell you herself?

What a joke! They've been waiting here all this time just to interview the top scorer in the college entrance exam!

Yan Qiao didn't need to announce her results herself; once the results were released, the top scorer's score would be revealed.

721 points is not a good score, so what score is?

Yan Yaoyao smiled and said, "She didn't say, I just guessed. You'd better not mention the grades, I'm afraid Yan Qiao will be unhappy."

Her words made the reporters' expressions even stranger.

They didn't say, could it be because your grades are too good and they're afraid it will discourage you?

Yan Qiao isn't telling you that you don't know how to use the internet?

One of the reporters kindly reminded her, "Yan Yaoyao, you should go online and take a look."

After he finished speaking, everyone saw Yan Qiao come out and swarmed around her.

"Yan Qiao, as the top science student in this city's college entrance examination this year, could you share your thoughts?"

"As far as I know, you didn't attend classes at school for the entire senior year of high school. Do you have any study secrets you'd like to share with everyone?"

"..."

As if her ability to think had been taken away, the words "top science student" echoed in her mind, making her feel as if she had been struck by lightning.

She couldn't wait to take out her phone, and a notification popped up saying "Yan Qiao scored 721 points in the college entrance examination".

When Yan Yaoyao clicked in, she learned that she had won the title of top science student in Yancheng's college entrance examination this year with a high score of 721.

This fact felt like a sharp slap across her face, leaving it burning with pain.

The smugness I felt just moments ago has now turned into deep shame.

Before this, Yan Yaoyao was proud of her college entrance examination score and always felt that no matter what Yan Qiao was like, she could never be better than her.

Having missed more than a year, Yan Qiao did not return to school to study. How good could her grades be if she only studied on her own?

Reality, however, slapped her in the face.

Yan Yaoyao turned her face away in embarrassment, not wanting to listen to the reporters' praise of Yan Qiao anymore, and ran to the car in a flustered manner.

Meanwhile, Yan Qiao, after earnestly dealing with the reporter's questions, politely said, "I'm going out to dinner with my family, so let's end the interview here."

After saying that, he got into the same car as Pei Jingzhan.

One of the reporters exclaimed, "This is simply genius! With such a heavy academic workload, how can she still find time to date?"

Another reporter chimed in: "You forgot about the top scorers in the province's arts and sciences exams who were also a couple? We're not encouraging students to date early, but a positive and healthy romantic relationship can indeed have a positive effect."
