"What kind of school did the daughter of the old Wen family go to?"
"How would I know? He just hesitated when I asked him. Could it be that his daughter didn't pass the exam?"
"That shouldn't be the case. His daughter's grades are among the best in our city."
Another woman curled her lips in disdain and said, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I guess he just didn't pass the exam and is too embarrassed to say it." She leaned closer and whispered, "Maybe he got into a bad school and doesn't want to repeat the year, so he's hiding."
"Why else wouldn't you even tell us the name of the school?"
"Look at every family in our neighborhood who got into college and didn't have a graduation party? At first, everyone thought his family would have a big one too, but what happened in the end?"
The man looked at Wen Pingting's mother who was walking towards him and signaled the woman who was speaking to speak in a lower voice.
The woman rolled her eyes and watched Wen Pingting's mother getting closer and closer. Not only did she not lose weight, but she deliberately said loudly:
"It's normal for this child to have poor grades. How can a child always have good grades? If he didn't do well in the exam, then he didn't do well. There's no need to hide it."
"They lied to everyone about keeping the school's name secret. I've lived my entire life and I've never heard of a school's name being kept secret. Even the National Defense University doesn't have that."
Another woman accompanying this woman looked at Wen Pingting's mother awkwardly, wanting to explain something but not knowing how to say it.
Wen Pingting's mother was holding the vegetables she had just bought from the market. Her daughter had not returned home since she went to the Cultivation Academy.
She just got a call today and was told she could go home. She was so happy that she asked Lao Wen to pick her up early in the morning and prepared meals herself.
I didn't expect to hear such disgusting things just after returning.
The good mood of the day was ruined just like that.
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Some people think they can figure out everything in the world just by knowing a trivial matter. I advise you to talk less and do more good deeds!" Wen Pingting's mother frowned and scolded back without any hesitation.
The woman opposite was clearly indignant. She asked, "Who are you talking about? How am I not doing good deeds? What did I say that was wrong? Who in the world has ever heard of keeping secrets about going to college?"
"If you didn't do well on the test, then you didn't do well on the test. Why are you still trying to save face
"If you don't let people say it, it's not the truth? What a joke!"
"Say less, say less, it's not a big deal."
Another woman stood in the distance with an awkward look on her face, trying to persuade this one and that one, thinking to herself that if she had known, she would not have discussed this downstairs.
Wen Pingting's mother was about to yell back, but then she thought of what her daughter said that might be made public. She immediately suppressed her anger, smiled, and said confidently:
"I hope you can still say that in a few days."
After saying that, she turned and left, no longer paying attention to the two people behind her.
"What does she mean by this? Why is she so arrogant? How dare she be so arrogant after being exposed?"
"You should talk less. Pingting always greets you."
"I just can't stand her arrogant look!"
After receiving the call, Wen Pingting's father took leave from the company early in the morning and drove to the designated location in Qiumao Mountain.
Before long, I saw a group of young men walking towards me on the mountain in an orderly manner.
Everyone's face was tense and they looked very serious. They were muttering to themselves, but it was too far away to hear what they were saying.
"My daughter!" After seeing his daughter, Wen Tingting's father immediately smiled and waved.
"Dad!" Wen Pingting looked over when she heard the familiar voice.
When the two of them reunited, Wen Pingting's father first took a look at his daughter's condition and said, "She's taller and thinner."
Sitting in the car, the two chatted all the way.
"Your mom prepared delicious food for you at home. She prepared all the dishes you ordered. Your dad doesn't have such good treatment at home. Today, I am grateful to you."
"My mother has been cooking for you all her life, and you are still not satisfied. I will complain to her later." Wen Pingting teased.
"Go away, you black-hearted little girl, that's not what I meant!" Wen Pingting's father immediately retorted.
"Hahaha, Dad, I was just kidding. I definitely won't report you." Wen Tingting hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Ever since they got to the mountain and knew their responsibilities, everyone had put in all their efforts to practice.
Like a dry sponge, it absorbs all kinds of knowledge eagerly.
Not only do you have to learn traditional mathematics, physics, chemistry and astronomy every day, you also have to take time out to meditate and practice, and even go to the fantasy world to hone your will.
The car parked steadily in the community parking lot. Seeing people around greeting them, Wen Pingting also spoke to them openly.
"Aunt Liu, yes, our school is under closed management, and we can't go out normally. Today I finally got the chance, so I came back to see my parents."
"I won't be able to stay at home for many days. I'll be leaving in a few days."
"The name of the university? I really can't tell you that."
After parking the car, Wen Pingting's father called his daughter home.
In the elevator, Wen Pingting's father couldn't help but say, "You don't know those gossipy women in our neighborhood. No matter how I explain it, they always say you failed the exam and went to a crappy school in another city."
"Some even said you secretly repeated your grade and said you passed because you were afraid of losing face."
Wen Pingting herself didn't feel anything, but she felt a little guilty that her parents were misunderstood because of her.
As soon as his daughter showed her expression, Wen Tingting's father knew what she was thinking.
"Don't act like that. I'm so happy for you. Look at you. It's only been over half a year, and you look like a fairy already."
"When I first saw you, I was a little hesitant to recognize you. I said, is this my daughter? She's obviously a little fairy!"
"You're not exaggerating, Dad."
"Go back and listen to what your mother says."
The sound of the key being inserted into the keyhole and the door lock turning was heard, and before he could open the door, the door opened from the inside.
Wen Pingting's mother stared at her for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged her daughter. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Wow, so many dishes!" Wen Pingting's father did not disturb the warm moment of mother and daughter. After changing his shoes and washing his hands, he came to the dining table. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and take a bite.
Wen Pingting's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She had just learned about her daughter's general situation in the college. Although her daughter only said good things and did not say anything bad, she could guess that it must not have been easy.
"Let's go. You must be hungry after all this journey. Go wash your hands and eat. Don't tell your dad that he has already eaten."
