Fang Ziru's words were undoubtedly an attempt to elevate Lu Siqiao's status through flattery, only to then slam her down hard.
What is a child prodigy? It's just skipping grades in elementary school.
She had only been in high school for about a month and hadn't done anything particularly remarkable; she was just quietly studying.
His teasing caused quite a few people to burst into laughter.
It would be difficult for her not to become famous.
"My dear cousin, why don't you come up and say a few words to everyone?" Fang Ziru's voice rang out as the lights focused on Lu Siqiao.
Lu Siqiao raised an eyebrow and slowly walked onto the stage.
"Qiaowa, say hello to everyone," Fang Ziru said with concern. "These are all my classmates and friends. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, they won't stand idly by. Mr. William is my English teacher, and he'd also like to meet you." (Yeah, right!)
Lu Siqiao pursed her lips and glanced at her second aunt, Lu Wan, in the corner, who looked like she had succeeded in her evil scheme.
Lu Siqiao took the microphone, cleared her throat, met Fang Ziru's mocking gaze, and said obediently, "Thank you for coming, university. My cousin dotes on me and is exaggerating on purpose, please don't mind. I'm just a country girl, I don't know many characters, I'm just showing off in the countryside. Speaking of which, when our two families had dinner together, my grandma told me that my cousin was a top student at Sunshine High School and would definitely go to a university in Beijing, and that I should learn from him..."
Your great-aunt will show you what it means to shift blame.
Fang Ziru listened to her humble words, which sounded quite pleasant at first, but as soon as she heard the fabricated story, her face immediately turned red.
His grades were not bad, but there were always better students in Sunshine High School. His academic ranking was only in the dozens. Not to mention Beijing University, even the four most prestigious universities in Beijing would be difficult for him to get into.
Lu Siqiao further added that it was said by the Fang family's old lady, which increased the credibility of the story even more.
But Fang Ziru doesn't have that much influence, and he can't afford to wear that hat.
“Well, my cousin was just joking. She loves to joke around…” Fang Ziru quickly interrupted Lu Siqiao and changed the subject, “Qiaowa, let me introduce you to Mr. William.” He winked at William.
William smiled, extended his hand, and began to speak with Lu Siqiao in fluent English.
Lu Siqiao's gaze darkened.
Mo Yan and the others in the audience were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
They had studied English, but their spoken English was poor and sounded extremely awkward, let alone able to have a normal conversation.
Unfortunately, Fang Ziru also got involved. His English was quite good, and the Fang family had spent a lot of money to hire William to teach him English, which was a skill he was very proud of.
Seeing Lu Siqiao's silent demeanor, he felt a surge of satisfaction.
You're still too green to compete with him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Siqiao spoke up the next moment.
His fluent American English, with clear pronunciation, flowed smoothly and calmly into everyone's ears.
It sounds so good it makes your ears dizzy.
Looking at Fang Ziru's discomfitured expression, Lu Siqiao gave a cold smile.
She has been diligently learning English since she was seven years old. Moreover, now that Cheng Ze is abroad, she uses English every time she communicates with him. Cheng Ze said that making English more conversational would make her studies easier in the future.
At this moment, Fang Ziru's mouth was wide open, almost big enough to fit an egg.
That damn girl, is there anything she can't do?
William was also curious about why Lu Siqiao's English was so good. Lu Siqiao casually replied, "I have a friend who is studying abroad, and we always communicate in English when we talk on the phone."
These words shocked the entire audience.
While Fang Ziru was learning English, he was already able to communicate with people in English in his daily life.
"Haha, my cousin is truly gifted!" Fang Ziru broke out in a cold sweat and quickly smoothed things over, "Thank you for showing everyone such a wonderful side of yourself. Let's give her a round of applause!"
Lu Siqiao walked off the stage.
Immediately, students came up to her and invited her to join the school's foreign language club.
Some people even vied to invite her to join the broadcasting club, and so on.
It was clearly Fang Ziru's home turf, but it turned into Lu Siqiao's arena for fame and fortune.
Facing Fang Ziru's piercing gaze, Lu Siqiao glared at him defiantly.
Lu Wan walked to her son's side and said irritably, "I already told you not to invite her over. You're just letting her steal the spotlight for nothing."
Fang Ziru's smile faltered, and he said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? Fang Dingding is coming soon, and we won't let her get away with it."
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.
Fang Dingding, dressed in a peach-pink off-the-shoulder dress, with light makeup and apricot-colored low-heeled shoes, slowly walked into the club accompanied by Chen Luoxia.
She was naturally beautiful and knew how to dress up; her gentle demeanor made her look like a princess.
Her appearance attracted everyone's attention.
A true academic star from Sunshine High School, she was admitted to a university in Beijing with outstanding grades. Now, she is studying and starting her own business at the same time. Even under such difficult circumstances, including a serious illness, she remains true to her original aspiration and studies diligently.
She was surrounded by people, like a star surrounded by the moon.
The Fang family's second branch thought she was in poor health, and even when she appeared at the club, she was weak and sickly.
But she didn't. She greeted her relatives and friends like a normal person, and walked calmly and serenely to Lu Siqiao.
“My dear sister, I’m so happy to see you here.” Fang Dingding stepped forward and hugged her, letting the people present take pictures.
Lu Siqiao felt uncomfortable and deliberately kept her distance, saying in a low voice, "I'm not familiar with you."
