As soon as the bell rang, Meng Zihan couldn't wait to escape the classroom.
She simply couldn't bear the mocking looks from her classmates.
Before she could even get out of her seat, Feng Linlin walked over and said to Lin Xiaojuan beside her in a sarcastic tone, "From now on, you can't call me Meng Shiba anymore, you have to call me Meng Shiyi."
"Pfft!" Lin Xiaojuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Meng Zihan was furious.
She turned around abruptly, rushed to Ye Linchen's seat, and asked tearfully, "Ye Linchen, are you very proud of yourself?"
Ye Linchen was correcting the test paper when he heard Meng Zihan's voice. He looked up and asked with a smile.
"Why can't I be proud? It's not like I got eleven points."
Her smile was radiant, and her tone was relaxed, showing no regard for Meng Zihan's pain.
Meng Zihan trembled with rage. She gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "Don't be so smug, I..."
Ye Linchen raised his hand to stop her from continuing.
"Your combined scores from all three subjects aren't even as high as mine from just one subject. With a brain this stupid, I advise you not to even think about harming others."
"Why not think about how to study properly? Maybe if you work hard, you can get 20 points next time."
The classroom erupted in laughter.
"Go for it, Meng Shiyi!"
"Strive to become Meng Twenty next time!"
Meng Zihan's eyes were red as she glared fiercely at Ye Linchen, gritting her teeth. "You just wait..."
Ye Linchen raised an eyelid: "Shen Yanlin's uncle is a high-ranking official in the city. He'll find out who made the phone call spreading rumors very quickly. I'm waiting to see how you'll handle this!"
Shen Yanlin, who was standing next to her, slammed down his book and stared coldly at Meng Zihan.
Seeing his expression, Meng Zihan became even more flustered and lost all interest in arguing with Ye Linchen. She turned and left.
Shen Yanlin's uncle is a minister; he might actually be able to find out.
Even after school and returning home, Meng Zihan remained absent-minded.
"Xiaohan's back." Ye Zhenghua was already home, sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. "Did the exam results come out today? How did you do?"
You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topic!
Eleven points? How could she possibly say that?
Meng Zihan replied vaguely, "It's alright."
The twins, who were waiting for their meal on the sofa, rolled their eyes when they heard this.
"Not bad? Eleven points! Eleven points on the chemistry test! Is that not bad?"
"My combined score in math, physics, and chemistry is less than 100!"
The two brothers showed no mercy in exposing each other's shortcomings.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Not long after the results were announced, the news spread throughout the entire dormitory area.
The Ye family's niece only scored eleven points on her first diagnostic test in chemistry!
Even the student who was last in class and had to take a year off due to illness did better than her!
The two brothers were being ridiculed, and people suggested that their cousin should get her IQ checked.
That's so embarrassing!
Ye Zhenghua put down the newspaper in surprise. Before he could say anything, Meng Xueyun rushed out of the kitchen.
"Eleven points? Xiaohan, is it true?"
What could Meng Zihan say?
no?
The report card was in her bag; how could she deny it?
She glared at the twins with hatred.
I hate her more and more, just as much as Ye Linchen!
Once she gets into university, I'll have her aunt kick those two troublemakers out too!
Meng Xueyun was stunned by the number "eleven points" and started analyzing.
"Xiaohan, you study so hard, how could you only get eleven points? Did the teacher miscount the papers?"
"That must be it! Come on, Xiaohan! Let's go find the teacher and ask her to give you a new number!"
Meng Zihan cried out in despair, "Auntie!"
Why is Meng Xueyun so annoying!
What number is wrong?
She just doesn't know how to do it!
Meng Xueyun looked at Meng Zihan in disbelief, and finally understood.
She immediately blamed Ye Zhenghua and started cursing at him.
"Ye Zhenghua! It's all your fault! If you hadn't stopped Xiaohan's tutoring, how could she have gotten such a low score?"
"Xiaohan has the potential to go to university!"
"Get the money right now! I need to tutor Xiaohan! I'll sell everything I own to support her education! I can't let her studies fall behind!"
Ye Zhenghua was not afraid of her at all now, and slammed the newspaper on the table without any politeness.
What's wrong with you?!
"What tutoring? She doesn't do any housework and spends all her time studying. How can she get such a low score? Do you think she can get into university?"
"He's simply not cut out for studying! No amount of extra tutoring will help; it's just a waste of money."
"Don't even dream about the college entrance exam. Just stay home and prepare well enough to get your high school diploma."
"After graduation, I'll ask around and see if I can get a job at the factory. I'll be waiting to start working."
"No, absolutely not!" Meng Xueyun immediately objected.
“What’s impossible? We’ve already done more than enough by supporting her until she’s eighteen. If she can pass the exam, I’ll continue to support her. But she’s not doing well now, so how can I support her?”
"If we really have to spend a lot of money to tutor her, what about Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei? Don't they need money to go to school?"
"If you have the money, then go ahead and pay. I won't give you a single penny more from my salary!"
Ye Zhenghua was also very annoyed.
The democratic elections are about to begin, and the deputy director, who has always been at odds with him, is making moves everywhere, spreading rumors about Ye Linchen and Meng Zihan, trying to bring him down and take his place.
Even Deputy Factory Director Lin thought highly of him, and consequently became indifferent to him.
If I don't get elected as director, not only will I lose face, but my salary and subsidies will be reduced by a lot. I also have to support three children. How can I afford it?
Tutoring, tutoring! Meng Xueyun doesn't know how hard it is to earn money since she doesn't work. She just wants money as soon as she opens her mouth!
Is it possible to repair Meng Zihan's appearance like that?
If those two had behaved themselves and not caused trouble, and hadn't driven Xiaochen away, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
They only have themselves to blame; they deserve it!
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenghua's anger flared up again, and he cursed Meng Xueyun and Meng Zihan.
When Meng Zihan heard Ye Zhenghua say that she was too stupid and not cut out for it, and then looked up to see the disdainful and contemptuous looks from the Ye twins, she felt as if her self-esteem had been thrown to the ground and trampled on.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she stopped eating, ran back to her room, threw herself on the bed, and burst into tears.
Meng Xueyun felt extremely distressed and followed her into the house to comfort her.
"Xiaohan, don't be sad. It's all your fault for being so useless. We really have no money left."
“Actually, working is good. I’ll ask your uncle to help you find an easy job so you can start earning an income sooner.”
"From now on, all the money you earn at work will be yours. We won't take a single penny from you; you can keep it all for yourself."
"You can buy more pretty clothes, eat delicious food, and go out with your friends."
Meng Zihan was unwilling.
She doesn't want to work; she wants to go to university!
What good jobs can I find after graduating from high school?
Suddenly, Meng Zihan had an idea, and her heart leaped with joy.
She can still go to university, as long as Ye Zhenghua is willing to help!
