Chapter 199

Jiang Meishu hesitated at the question, but nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I'll be with you then."

Chen Qing whispered.

They all knew that after Chen Qing said this, he revealed the agreement between him and Qiao Jiahui.

Jiang Meishu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Teacher Chen, wouldn't you consider it?"

In her opinion, Chen Qing has a bright future. He is good-looking, well-educated, outstanding and capable. Such a person will become successful in a few years.

However, if she really followed Qiao Jiahui to Hong Kong to seduce his father's mistress, this would be a road of no return.

Chen Qing looked into Jiang Meishu's eyes. At that moment, he saw worry in the eyes of an outsider, which warmed his heart. "Comrade Jiang, I know my limits."

He has received too little care and warmth in his life.

And Jiang Meishu in front of him is one of them.

Seeing that he still had no intention of giving up, Jiang Meishu lowered her voice and said, "The Xiang and Qiao families are also considered wealthy families. The waters here are deeper than we imagined. This is not something that ordinary people can wade into."

Not to mention a poor scholar like Chen Qing.

He has no one to rely on. If his true identity is exposed, the other party will want to crush him to death, which will be as easy as crushing an ant.

Chen Qing was silent for a moment, pursing his lips. His tense jawline revealed blue veins, which formed a sharp contrast with his overly fair skin.

His voice was clear, "I know."

"But I have a reason to go."

He never thought of seducing Qiao's little lover. All he wanted was, was—

He couldn't say the last half of the sentence. This was Chen Qing's secret.

He wanted to ask, does Mr. Qiao still remember his mother?

Does Mr. Qiao know him?

If he knew, and could still turn a deaf ear to it, he would have only one thought.

That means hoping the other person will die.

As for seducing the other person's lover, that's a simple thing.

From the very beginning, Chen Qing never thought about surviving.

Unfortunately, no one knows about these things.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Jiang Meishu gave up. The two said goodbye to each other at the train station. She watched Chen Duan's thin and gaunt figure leave and said to Liang Qiurun, "Old Liang, why do you think he had to go?"

Liang Qiurun shook his head, "I don't know."

"But if you have time, you can check it out."

However, Liang Qiurun was too busy. First, the Hongtai factory was overwhelmed with orders for bicycles, and then there was a shortage of raw materials. The rubber imported from Malaysia could be used, but it needed to be remade, instead of the tires that came in directly as raw materials like before.

As a result, the workload in the workshop almost doubled. Liang Qiurun was almost busy all the time in order to add to Hongtai's orders.

Naturally, I forgot what I had said before about checking Chen Qing's background.

In a blink of an eye, it was December 10th, the day of Liang Rui and Liang Feng's college entrance examination. Liang Qiurun really couldn't leave, and Jiang Meishu originally wanted to go back to accompany Liang Rui and Liang Feng.

However, the weather in Guangzhou changed and she had a bad cold, so she couldn't leave. In the end, she could only regretfully cheer up Liang Rui and Liang Feng over the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Meishu was still a little worried. "I don't know what Liang Rui and Liang Feng's mentality is like. At this time, it all depends on their mentality."

Because their basic skills have been solidified by Chen Qing, as long as they don't make any mistakes in the examination room, it should not be difficult for them to pass the undergraduate examination.

Liang Qiurun was making ginger water for her. After seeing Jiang Meishu drink it, he slowly said, "It should be fine. Both children have a good attitude."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed them and traveled all over the country.

Jiang Meishu, "I hope so."

While Jiang Meishu was feeling anxious, three days later, Liang Rui and Liang Feng finished their exams and called her, "Aunt, we're done."

"Can we go directly to Yangcheng?"

After getting used to the openness of Guangzhou, they both felt a little uncomfortable returning to the capital city with strict controls.

Jiang Meishu, "Wait until the scores come out and fill in the application form."

Liang Rui was a little unhappy, "Then it will take at least twenty days."

Jiang Meishu said, "Even if you come to Guangzhou, you won't stay there for more than a few days. You still have to go back to the capital. Aren't you delayed on the way?"

Liang Rui remained silent, obviously not wanting to accept this plan.

In the end, it was Liang Qiurun who answered the phone, "Liang Rui, just come over before we go to Hong Kong."

One sentence makes the final decision.

No matter how dissatisfied Liang Rui was, he could only swallow it back. After hanging up the phone, Liang Feng immediately asked, "What did they say?"

Liang Rui was full of dissatisfaction. "Let's wait until the college entrance examination scores come out, fill out the application form and then go to Guangzhou." At this point, he paused and said, "But am I an obedient person?"

"Liang Feng, I'm going to buy a train ticket to Yangcheng now. I'll arrive in Yangcheng in three days. Do you want to go?"

Liang Feng was still a little hesitant, "But our college entrance examination scores haven't come out yet, and what my uncle and aunt said is right. For us right now, filling out the application form is indeed the most important thing."

Liang Rui, "Why should we be afraid? We can come back after the scores are out. It's just a 100 yuan round trip fare and a delay of seven days."

"Do you dare to go?"

These words carried a bit of provocation. Liang Feng said, "If you dare to go, I will naturally dare to go."

Both of them did what they said. They bought train tickets to Guangzhou that afternoon and told Liang's mother about it before leaving. Of course, without waiting for her consent, the two children disappeared.

Three days later, when the two appeared at the door of the Little White Building, Jiang Meishu was still a little dazed, "Why are you here?"

Then, he reacted quickly and hit Liang Rui on the shoulder, "Kid, didn't you agree to come over after you got your college entrance exam scores and filled out your application?"

"Why is it just a few days away?"

The New Year is coming soon and it is very cold in the north. They were wearing cotton jackets when they came, but when they came to my house, they took off their jackets and put them on their arms, wearing only a thin sweater.

Liang Rui was not angry even after being beaten. He grinned and said, "It's just a few days away. We can't wait at home."

“I just wanted to come here and set up a stall.”

When he earns hundreds or even thousands of yuan a day, he can't sit still. Even if you ask him to take a rest, he can't.

Jiang Meishu was speechless.

"Then go help out at the stall."

When Liang Rui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he ran over and said kindly, "Little Mom, you won't scold me anymore?"

Liang Rui was very surprised that he came here without permission and without the consent of his elders, but his stepmother didn't scold him.

Jiang Meishu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Since you're here, what's the point of scolding you?"

She opened the door with her key and called the two naughty kids in. "Have you estimated your college entrance exam scores? Do you know roughly how high you'll get?"

Liang Rui carried his luggage, took a long step, and strolled in. "I'm probably over 300."

"Liang Feng is better than me. If his estimate is correct, it can reach more than 350."

"Based on this score, Liang Feng's admission to HKUST is a sure thing, but I'm a little skeptical."

Liang Rui's mind was not focused on studying.

He felt that he was already very impressive if he could get a score of around 500.

Jiang Meishu, "Which university do you want to apply to?"

Liang Rui hesitated for a moment, "I want to go to Tsinghua University, but my score may not be high enough."

"But Liang Feng will definitely go to the university where Jiangnan Fang studied."

HKUST is almost Liang Feng's obsession.

Jiang Meishu almost laughed out loud after hearing Liang Rui's words, "With your grades, you still want to go to Tsinghua University? Liang Rui, are you dreaming in broad daylight?"

"Why can't I?" Liang Rui argued confidently, "Although my estimated scores aren't high, I never slacked off during my two years of high school. I worked hard and even attended cram schools after graduation. With my dedication, I'd be happy even if I chose the worst major at National Tsing Hua University."

"Anyway, among the applications I filled out, there are Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology of China, and Yangcheng University."

Jiang Meishu was almost pissed off. "You chose National Tsing Hua University? Liang Rui, with your score, you're going to fail the entrance exam to National Tsing Hua University."

Liang Rui argued, "Maybe I was lucky enough to be admitted to Tsinghua University?"

Liang Rui had no idea that his words would come true.

Twenty days later, the scores came out, and it was Liang Rui's previous class teacher who contacted the Liang family first. When he couldn't find anyone there, he asked Liang's mother to help contact Yang Cheng.

The two sides spoke on the phone.

"Liang Rui, the college entrance examination scores are out. Do you know how many points you got?"

Liang Rui really didn't know. He shook his head and said, "Teacher, please don't keep me in suspense. I'm already satisfied with my score of 300." After all, he often scored 200 in mock exams, and the highest score was 310. He thought that was quite amazing.

"I guessed the score was too high."

The teacher's voice was filled with a smile, which could not be concealed even through the telephone receiver.

"More than three hundred?" Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, and covered the receiver to look at Liang Feng. Liang Feng's face was not very good. It was not because he was jealous of Liang Rui's high score, but he had a hunch that since the teacher contacted Liang Rui first, it was very likely that Liang Rui's score was better than his.

This also means that he failed the exam. When Liang Feng thought of this, he felt confused.

The person on the other end of the phone was still talking, "Guess? Just guess high."

Liang Rui looked at Liang Feng's expression. He covered the receiver and whispered, "Old classmate, I really can't guess. Just tell me the truth."

The homeroom teacher's voice was tinged with a hearty laugh, "Three hundred and sixty-two."

"Liang Rui, you scored 362 in the college entrance examination!"

“He’s the third in our school.”

You know, with Liang Rui's grades, he couldn't even make it into the top 20 on a normal day, but in the college entrance examination, he performed exceptionally well.

This is totally unexpected.

When Liang Rui heard the score, he was a little dazed, "How much did you say I scored?"

"Three hundred and sixty-two, Liang Rui, with a total score of four hundred. With your score, you can choose from almost all the universities in the capital."

This made Liang Rui completely stunned by the surprise. He raised his hand and wiped his face fiercely. When he looked up and saw Liang Feng not saying anything, the joy in his mind was instantly washed away.

"Where's Liang Feng?"

"Teacher, how many points did Liang Feng get in the exam?"

After these words fell, the head teacher fell silent. "Liang Feng's college entrance examination results this time were not as good as his usual test scores."

This sentence made Liang Rui and Liang Feng quiet down, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

"How bad is that?"

Liang Rui got to the bottom of the matter.

"Three hundred and twenty-eight points."

The head teacher's voice came over, "A full thirty points less than the usual test score."

As soon as these words fell, Liang Feng's face turned pale. Liang Rui grabbed him and asked anxiously, "Teacher, could it be that the college entrance examination scores are wrong?"

"Did I make a mistake with him?"

He scored 362 points, but Liang Feng only scored 328 points. Their scores should have been swapped.

The head teacher's voice was somewhat heavy. "Liang Rui, this is the college entrance examination, and it's the first one. What do you think the probability of getting the score wrong is?"

Almost negligible.

This is something both Liang Rui and Liang Feng know.

Both of them were silent.

Before hanging up the phone, the head teacher suddenly asked, "Which schools did you apply to?"

Liang Rui said truthfully, "My first choice was Tsinghua University, my second was University of Science and Technology of China, and my third was Yangcheng University."

Of course, he had guessed the first two choices, because Liang Rui knew that he had no chance of getting into Tsinghua University, and similarly, he had no chance of getting into USTC.

From this perspective, the third choice is particularly important.

According to Liang Rui's plan, since his grades were not the best, he might as well be practical and go directly to Guangzhou to study at university.

With his grades, he should have no problem getting into Yangcheng University.

When the head teacher heard this, he said, "You are really lucky, kid."

"Wait for the admission letter from National Tsinghua University."

For the top three students in the capital’s No. 1 High School, admission to Tsinghua University and Peking University is almost guaranteed, without any suspense.

Not to mention, Liang Rui filled in the application form well, he actually chose National Tsinghua University, which was a lucky coincidence.

Liang Rui sighed and asked, "What about my Liang Feng? Will he be admitted to the University of Science and Technology he applied for?"

The teacher couldn't answer this question. He hesitated and gave an ambiguous answer, "It depends on the ranking. HKUST also admits students from the highest to the lowest level. If his scores are right on the line, he might be admitted. But if they are a little lower, it might be difficult."

"So whether Liang Feng can be admitted to HKUST, no one can say for sure right now. All we can say is that we are waiting for the admission letter."

The telephone receiver was not soundproof, so Liang Feng naturally heard it. After hanging up the phone, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Liang Rui comforted him, "With such good grades, you will definitely be admitted to HKUST."

Liang Feng gave a bitter smile and the first thing he said was, "I failed the test."

Before the exam, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun repeatedly told him to keep a good attitude, but Liang Feng was just nervous.

He became nervous as soon as he entered the examination room. He even didn't expect that his estimated score would be so different.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Liang Rui didn't know how to comfort him.

"It's no big deal, it's no big deal. If you don't pass this year, we can just repeat the year next year, Liang Feng." Liang Rui patted his shoulder, "Our family doesn't need the tuition for you to repeat the year."

“But I don’t want to repeat the year.”

Liang Feng squatted on the ground and scratched his hair. "I'm already twenty this year. If I repeat a year, I'll be twenty-one. By the time I finish four years of college, I'll be at least twenty-five."

"Liang Rui, can you understand what I mean?"

Liang Rui hummed.

He didn't know what to say, because as a poor student, he scored better than Liang Feng, a top student. This matter itself was unscientific.

Jiang Meishu came back at this time. Seeing that the two children were squatting on the ground instead of sitting on the sofa, she asked, "What's wrong?"

She changed her shoes and went into the house with a basket of vegetables hanging on her arm. She saw a batch of good seafood coming to the vegetable market, so she thought of changing the taste of the food at home, so she bought more than ten orchid crabs and a grouper.

I didn't expect to see these two children in a bad mood before I even entered the house.

"We've got our scores."

The one who answered her was Liang Rui.

Jiang Meishu was stunned when she heard this. "The scores are out? How much did you get?"

Seeing that they are in a bad mood, could it be that both children failed the exam?

Liang Rui shook his head, "I didn't fail the exam, I did quite well." He was still a little embarrassed. It was obviously a happy thing, but because Liang Feng failed the exam, he had to consider Liang Feng's emotions, so he didn't even dare to be happy.

"What about Liang Feng?" Jiang Meishu asked.

Liang Feng's tone was a little tearful, "I failed the test."

His voice was a little sad. "I scored thirty points less than usual on the mock test. I failed."

"Aunt, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

He knew that ever since he moved into his uncle's house, his uncle and aunt had been hoping for his success and were waiting for him to finish the college entrance examination so that they could be admitted to university.

"But I'm sorry."

"It's all my fault."

Liang Feng raised his hand and hit his head, obviously he was a little emotionally broken. Jiang Meishu hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "How could it be? Liang Feng, you have tried very hard. We often say that we should do our best and leave the rest to fate. That's all there is to it."

"What's more, I scored 30 points less than usual. How many points is that?"

Liang Feng's eyes were red, and he murmured, "Three hundred and twenty-eight points."

"That's not a low score." Jiang Meishu remembered that the total score was only 400. "With that score, you'd still be ranked among the top in the entire capital."

"Which schools did you choose?"

This is where Liang Feng's frustration really hit him. "I was too confident in myself. I only applied to HKUST."

"If HKUST doesn't admit me, it would be like I took the exam and studied in vain."

He was rejected and naturally there was no school for him.

The three of them had agreed to go to college together, but in the end, he was the only one left. This was definitely a fatal blow to Liang Feng.

"Don't be impatient."

Jiang Meishu comforted him and said, "Let's go ask Nanfang. If he doesn't know, let him ask his teacher. He'll eventually be able to find out the admission score for HKUST this year."

These words gave Liang Feng the last hope.

He looked at Jiang Meishu hopefully.

Jiang Meishu forced herself to calm down, "I'm calling Nanfang now."

Unfortunately, no one answered the phone. Jiang Meishu didn't hesitate at all. "Go and book the tickets. I'll take you to HKUST to ask someone."

When Liang Feng heard this, he was suddenly stunned. His eyes were sore, "Aunt."

"You don't have to do that."

It's too much trouble.

Jiang Meishu glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go pack your things. We should go to HKUST as quickly as possible."

At times like this, time is money.

Without giving Liang Feng a chance to react, Jiang Meishu went to book the train ticket. Before leaving, she turned back to glance at Liang Rui and asked, "Are you going?"

Liang Rui said reflexively, "I will definitely go."

Jiang Meishu said, "Then I'll book three tickets."

"No, I'll ask your dad if he'll come back."

Liang Qiurun wanted to go back, but he couldn't because Hongtai needed people. Not to mention, it was approaching the Chinese New Year, and with CCTV's bombardment of advertisements, Hongtai's orders had skyrocketed almost exponentially.

In such a situation, if he left, the entire Hongtai would almost be paralyzed.

Liang Qiurun couldn't go back, so Jiang Meishu gave up and said, "Then you stay at Hongtai and help me keep an eye on the stall. I'll take the two children back."

Liang Qiurun felt bad, he went up to hug Jiang Meishu, "Jiang Jiang, thank you for your hard work."

These things should have been done by him, but Jiang Meishu was doing them for him.

Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said, "We are one family and we don't have different opinions."

"Lao Liang, Liang Feng is a bit emotionally broken. If, I mean, if he can't be successfully admitted to HKUST, what will happen next?"

Liang Qiurun uttered two words, "Repeat."

This was the result he had thought of a long time ago. Of course, this was the future plan he made for Liang Rui. However, what Liang Qiurun did not expect was that the poor student Liang Rui did not use this future plan, but Liang Feng used it instead.

Jiang Meishu listened and thought, "I think so too."

"Liang Feng's basic skills are good, but he lacks the ability to adapt to the test. Once his mentality is more stable, he may get better results by repeating the exam."

Liang Qiurun hummed, "It depends on his personal wishes."

What is Liang Feng’s wish?

neither knows.

Ever since the scores came out, he has been like a frightened bird and has become completely withdrawn.

Jiang Meishu didn't force him to speak. She knew that the college entrance examination scores would be a real blow to Liang Feng.

On December 26th, Jiang Meishu and the two teenagers arrived in the capital on time. Snow fell that day, but they had no interest in watching it, not even in returning home.

The three of them headed straight for the gate of HKUST.

"Comrade, I'm looking for Jiang Nanfang."

This was the first sentence Jiang Meishu said to the people from the security department.

The other person felt that Jiang Meishu was familiar. "You came to see Teacher Jiang last time, right?"

Jiang Meishu was stunned when she heard this. "Teacher Jiang?"

Didn’t her family come from the south to study at USTC?

How did you become a teacher?

"Yes, it's Teacher Jiang." Old Li from the security department looked at her with confusion. "Aren't you Jiang Nanfang's relative? Didn't you know that Jiang Nanfang was promoted from a student to a teaching assistant last year?"

"He is also the youngest teaching assistant at HKUST."

Jiang Meishu was shocked.

"My Nanfang has become an assistant teacher?"

How old is he?

He is one year younger than Liang Rui and is only nineteen years old this year.

"Yes, when Teacher Jiang was promoted to teaching assistant, it caused a sensation throughout the school."

A 19-year-old teaching assistant at HKUST, this is simply unprecedented.

Not only Jiang Meishu was shocked, but Liang Rui and Liang Feng behind her were also shocked, "Has Nanfang gone that far?"

When Liang Feng failed the college entrance examination and didn't know whether he could enter the University of Science and Technology of China, Jiang Nanfang had already become a teacher at the University of Science and Technology of China.

Old Li from the security department looked confused. "Are you actually Teacher Jiang's relatives? How come you don't even know such basic information?"

Jiang Meishu explained, "We are his relatives, but we have been staying in Guangzhou and just returned from Guangzhou today."

"Please help me call Jiang Nanfang out."

After these words were spoken, Lao Li did not respond.

What a coincidence.

Jiang Nanfang had just returned from the laboratory outside and was about to get off the car when he saw Jiang Meishu from a distance. He murmured, "Sister!"
