Chapter 4 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 4
Who knows, he might actually amount to something.
Seeing that their luggage was still unpacked, Butler Xu didn't continue. "Xiao Wei just arrived. You must have a lot of things to pack. Hurry up and finish before the eldest and youngest young masters return. You might not have time for this later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinhui nodded quickly, "Okay," and hurriedly took Lin Wei's hand and left.
Mrs. Qin bought this small villa for her two sons to study in. Considering that the food in the cafeteria might not be good and takeout might not be hygienic, she hired a live-in nanny to take care of them.
However, because Qin Boyuan didn't like people getting too close to him, Lin Jinhui's room was on the first floor, far from the kitchen.
Lin Wei glanced at the furnishings in the villa, but then turned away, keeping her eyes down and walking away without looking at anything else.
After seeing her, Butler Xu's impression of her improved even more. "Just looking at her, she really doesn't seem like she came from a small town." Her manners were impeccable; even the children from wealthy families were like that.
However, considering that she was too close in age to the two young masters, she still subtly reminded Lin Ma after lunch.
"Tell Xiaowei not to wander around unnecessarily, to be careful not to bump into people. Other things are minor, but getting fired is not good." Where can you find such an easy job with such a high salary these days?
Butler Xu also gave her a hint.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinhui quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I will make sure she doesn't come out. Even if she does, she will choose a time when the two young masters are not around."
A look of satisfaction flashed in Butler Xu's eyes.
When Lin Jinhui turned to Lin Wei and told her about it, Lin Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Of course, Aunt, you don't need to say anything more, I know."
"They've already been very kind of them to let me stay here; we shouldn't cause them any trouble." Especially since she knew that it was the housekeeper who made an exception for her, she felt even more determined not to cause any inconvenience.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinhui thought she was too obedient. "Good girl. Once I'm done with what I'm doing, I'll take you out for a trip." It was a reward.
Lin Wei nodded after hearing this, "Okay." She also felt a little expectant, as she wanted to know what a prosperous scene S Province was like.
Perhaps she was too cautious, or perhaps she was too patient; during this period, she stayed in her room to study, only coming out a handful of times.
At first, Butler Xu was a little worried that her presence might affect the two young masters, but seeing her like this, he finally felt relieved.
At this rate of leaving the room, even if she were to run into the two young masters, she wouldn't offend anyone.
That day, Qin Boyuan suddenly had a whim and asked her, "Didn't you say Lin Ma's niece was coming? Why haven't I seen her?" He wasn't particularly concerned; it was just a casual question.
Housekeeper Xu: "She's studying in her room. This child is a studious girl, and she didn't dare to wander around outside for fear of disturbing you. She was afraid of causing you any trouble."
To some extent, he doesn't mind saying nice things about people.
Qin Boyuan looked at him in surprise after hearing this. The fact that he could get him to speak well of her meant that his niece wasn't so bad after all.
Trusting his judgment, he pondered for a moment and said, "No need to be so discreet. Just do things your way, as long as you keep it quiet." Since they had already moved in, he wasn't going to be too demanding.
Butler Xu thanked him on Lin Wei's behalf.
When Lin Wei heard this a few hours later, she thanked Butler Xu again and asked him to thank the young master as well.
"Don't worry, the young master won't mind." Butler Xu's expression softened even more after hearing this. Even through the door, he could see stacks of books and exam papers on the table inside, so the young master must be a good student.
Because of this, and since it wasn't a difficult matter for the Qin family, Lin Wei was directly transferred to the best class at the city's No. 1 High School without her knowledge.
Although he was a butler, he still had this much authority.
At the door, Lin Wei watched Butler Xu leave before closing the door. Looking at the stack of test papers that Aunt Lin had bought, she sullenly said, "I haven't even done many questions in the system space yet, how come there are so many more questions? Ugh, so annoying."
Unfortunately, these were real-world problems, and even if it was just to fool her aunt, she had to finish them.
Can you imagine? She just spent several hours finishing a few test papers, and when she's about to go to sleep, she still has to spend more than ten hours listening to lectures and doing exercises. Who wouldn't go crazy?
Lin Wei felt that she had already lost all desire for worldly things.
However, her long stay in the room wasn't without its benefits. She was 100% confident she could score over 140 points on the system's questions, 80% confident she could score over 145 points, and only 60% confident she could get a perfect score.
Lin Wei was actually quite satisfied with this. There were probably only a few students in the class who could score over 140 in math, and she could become a top student if she got in.
She didn't have high expectations; she just wanted to be among the top students in her class and in the top fifty in her grade. Being number one was too conspicuous, so she decided to leave that opportunity for others.
She would never admit that she didn't want to do practice problems; in fact, she was almost sick of doing them lately.
And so, a month passed. Although Butler Xu told her she didn't need to be so careful, Lin Wei still didn't appear at the villa much, so she didn't run into the two young masters there.
The effects of being confined to her room for a month were quite noticeable: she became much fairer, her radiant white skin looked exceptionally beautiful, and her hair, which had been somewhat dry from sun exposure, was now much smoother. Furthermore, she no longer refused her aunt's offers to buy her clothes, and she looked completely different.
"Clothes really do make the man, and a saddle makes the horse." Lin Jinhui looked at her for a long time before finally coming up with this saying.
Lin Wei is not exactly stunningly beautiful now, but she can certainly be considered pretty.
"Auntie." Lin Wei was a little embarrassed by the praise. Lin Jinhui smiled and said, "Why are you embarrassed?" She patted her head.
Because I was taking her to school and helping her with her accommodation arrangements, she kept reminding her to study hard, listen to her teachers, get along well with her classmates, and call her if anything happened.
Lin Wei agreed to all of them.
When she arrived at the dormitory building, she refused her aunt's offer to go up and help her, and told her to go back early.
"The housekeeper only gave me two hours of leave. If I don't go back now, I'll be too late. I can manage on my own."
Since she really couldn't get away, Lin Jinhui didn't say anything more, but instead stuffed five hundred yuan into her hand, saying, "Okay, I'll go back first. Keep this five hundred yuan. Eat and drink well at school, don't starve yourself."
Lin Wei nodded, "Yes, I will." Then she carried her luggage upstairs.
In the dormitory, Zhou Xueqing was the first to arrive. Her family had gone to great lengths to get her a double room. When she saw Lin Wei arrive, she naturally assumed that Lin Wei was like her and was openly or secretly trying to find out about her family background.
Lin Wei looked at her in confusion, "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't know."
Zhou Xueqing looked at her in disbelief after hearing this, "Don't pretend with me. I got in through connections. If I didn't have connections, I would be living in an eight-person room now. Just thinking about being with so many people, some of whom are difficult to get along with, terrifies me."
Lin Wei was taken aback when she heard this. "Aren't dormitories assigned randomly?"
Zhou Xueqing looked at her like she was a giant panda. "Really? You really didn't know?" Could it be that someone knew about her family background and was trying to curry favor with her?
And so the misunderstanding was left unresolved.
Since she wouldn't know her class until the first day of school, Zhou Xueqing didn't ask her which class she was in. Instead, she asked about her grades, "How are your studies?"
Lin Wei thought about her middle school entrance exam score: 440 out of 550. "So-so." It would be considered good in a small town, but it probably wouldn't be considered good here.
Zhou Xueqing naturally assumed that her studies were not good. "We all did not do very well on the test, and my dad still wants to find a way to get me into the top class. I think that's going to kill me."
Lin Wei: "The honors class?"
Zhou Xueqing: "Well, each grade level has an elite class that admits the top 50 students in the grade. This semester, the class was assigned based on our high school entrance exam scores. Next semester, it will be assigned based on the final exam scores. I think I'm in a tough spot."
If she's as she thinks, she should also have a spot in the honors class. I originally thought I was the one who would stand out, but now it seems that with her by my side, I'm not alone.
Lin Wei thought about the dormitory she was in and what the person in front of her had said. Could it be that the Qin family had put her in there? If so, she would owe them a huge favor.
Three days later, when Lin Wei saw that she was in Class 1, the same class as Zhou Xueqing, her wish came true.
I never expected that she would actually be in Class 1.
When Zhou Qingxue saw her name, she said she was right, "That's great. I didn't expect we'd actually be in the same class."
Lin Wei roughly knew why she was so happy. She glanced at her and figured she was going to disappoint her. She didn't want to be a bad student; she wanted to be a top student.
Although she knew that all the students who could get into Class One were top students, Lin Wei still couldn't help but show her emotions when she saw their grades.
Five hundred and forty-five, five hundred and thirty-something, five hundred and twenty—there were more than twenty people with scores above five hundred, not to mention the rest were all in the four hundred and ninety-something range. The scores were extremely close. She was only two points ahead of Zhou Xueqing, placing her exactly second to last in the class.
Her dream of being in the top five of her class was shattered.
Even though getting the lowest score still puts you in the top few dozen of your grade, being the lowest score sounds really bad, doesn't it?
Zhou Xueqing then pointed to a name and said, "The top student in our class is the top scorer in this year's high school entrance exam. He scored 545 points. What kind of brain does he have?"
Lin Wei heard her sigh and her gaze fell on the first name: Fang Yihuai.
This is a true academic genius.
