Zhu Xiaoqin could hardly believe what Zhao Guangsheng said.
Although she knew Zhao Yanyan hadn't studied diligently, she figured she at least had a basic foundation; even if she did poorly, she shouldn't have scored over 100 points, right?
"How could that be? Yan Yan is so smart, she couldn't possibly have done so badly even without studying. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Zhao Guang, trembling with anger, slumped onto the sofa, clutching his forehead.
"No, I checked the score myself, how could it be wrong?"
Zhu Xiaoqin looked at Zhao Yanyan in disbelief. Zhao Yanyan felt guilty and her eyes darted around, but she didn't dare to meet Zhu Xiaoqin's gaze.
"Yan Yan, when you estimated your score, didn't you say you could get 350?"
Zhao Yanyan buried her head in her neck and muttered, "Isn't there always a difference between the estimated score and the actual score?"
Zhu Xiaoqin clearly could not accept this reason.
Although the estimated score may be inaccurate, a difference of 20 or 30 points is normal. However, the difference between 140 and 350 points is a full 210 points. Such a large gap cannot be caused by an inaccurate estimate.

Zhu Xiaoqin had to sadly accept the fact that her daughter was not smart at all.
This shattered the pride and dignity of someone from an intellectual family.
"Yan Yan, you...you have really disappointed your father and me!"
Zhao Yanyan clearly knew her own limitations. Not wanting to argue with her parents about grades, she quickly made up an excuse:
"The college entrance exam tests rote knowledge. What's the use of a good score besides looking good? Can you apply it in real life? I just don't want to be a bookworm!"
"Don't want to be a bookworm? You make it sound so easy. Without good grades, how are you going to get into college? Who do you think you are now? Nothing!"
Zhao Guangsheng was so angry at Zhao Yanyan's disappointing behavior that he smashed his teacup.
Zhao Yanyan was a pampered princess who had been spoiled since childhood. She couldn't bear to hear such a scolding, and tears streamed down her face again.
When she cried, Zhu Xiaoqin felt extremely distressed and forgot her disappointment and anger. She quickly took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"Oh well, things are already like this. What good will it do for you to throw things around?"

She coaxed Zhao Yanyan to sit in the corner of the sofa furthest from Zhao Guangsheng, saying, "Yanyan, it's okay if you don't get into university. Mom can still find you a good job in an office, a government job."
"No! I don't want to! I want to go to university! I want to go to university with Brother Gu!"
When Zhao Yanyan lost her temper, she didn't care about anything else and started crying and wiping away tears in front of Zhao Guangsheng, "You are the president of the Imperial University, isn't it just a matter of you saying a word if I want to go to university?"
Zhao Guangsheng flew into a rage and smashed another teacup with a "crack," which shattered into pieces right at Zhao Yanyan's feet.
"Do you think Imperial University is owned by our family, and you can just go there whenever you want?"
"Then what's the point of being a university president? You can't even help your own daughter get into university, how can you call yourself a president!"
Zhao Yanyan's bizarre and twisted logic made Zhao Guang so angry that he felt a tightness in his chest.
His face was ashen, and he stood up unsteadily, panting heavily.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiaoqin turned pale with fright and hurriedly rummaged through the drawers to find medicine for Zhao Guangsheng.
After swallowing two nitroglycerin pills, Zhu Xiaoqin patted Zhao Guangsheng's back for a long time before he finally recovered.

"I...I'll be driven to my death by you sooner or later, you wretched child!"
Seeing that Zhao Yanyan was about to argue back, Zhu Xiaoqin quickly stopped her with a look.
"Yan Yan, your dad has a heart condition, so you should say less!"
Zhao Yanyan muttered, "What about Shen Jingyan? She's a country girl who can't read a single word, yet she dared to take the college entrance exam and even wanted to go to Beijing University with Brother Gu. She..."
Zhao Guangsheng's anger, which had just subsided, was instantly reignited. He grabbed an ashtray and smashed it hard at Zhao Yanyan.
"How dare you mention Shen Jingyan! You're not even as good as a country girl! She scored 392 points, the top scorer in liberal arts this year! She's famous throughout the Imperial University! All the liberal arts departments at the Imperial University are vying for her. And look at you, you good-for-nothing..."
He gasped for breath and covered his face in pain.
"How could I, a university president, raise such a useless daughter! How dare you compare yourself to Shen Jingyan, and how dare you even try to get close to Gu Zhiyun!"
Upon hearing Zhao Guangsheng's words, Zhao Yanyan was struck dumb. She couldn't bear the immense shock and nearly fainted.
How come a country girl is better than her in every way?

She used to have a sense of pride, thinking that as a city girl, even if Gu Zhiyun didn't like her, she was still a young lady from an intellectual family, and that she could put Shen Jingyan to the dust just by looking at her status.
She simply couldn't accept that Shen Jingyan could become the top liberal arts student!
"No, she can't go to university with Brother Gu. She's just a country girl who's been through a lot. She should stay in the countryside, and stay there for the rest of her life!"
Zhao Guangsheng felt like slapping Zhao Yanyan to death.
He used to love this daughter as much as he now loathes her.
Because Zhao Yanyan confidently said she could score 350 points, he went to the admissions office specifically to show off his daughter's high score. But when he checked at the admissions office, he found out she only scored 140 points!
