Chapter 102 Face
Xu Wei peeled a shrimp for Fu Zhi and told the old lady about Professor He.
With Fu Zhi's grades, Xu Wei thought it would be extremely difficult for her to be selected, but what if she was lucky?
But before Mrs. Lu expressed her opinion, Lu Chuwan, who was sitting next to Bai Yao, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She and Bai Yao were the only two people laughing at the table. Xu Wei's face froze: "What are you laughing at?"
Because of this sentence, the room was quiet for a moment.
Then, Lu Chuwan's soft voice said, "I just thought of a joke."
Her words were full of meaning. "After all, Professor He was the vice president of Peking University and Tsinghua University. How many people dream of being taught by him and becoming his disciples. If Zhizhi wants to meet him, she may have to...work harder."
Fu Zhi looked up at Lu Chuwan. She didn't bother to hide the sneer in her eyes. She clearly looked down on Fu Zhi and thought Xu Wei was daydreaming.
Obviously, Mrs. Lu thought the same thing, "Why prepare for Professor He's exam?"
"Maybe he wants to work harder. It's good to make more preparations so that he can get a relatively good score." Lu Chuwan said softly.
This is true, but Mrs. Lu couldn't accept it. "With your grades, why don't you prepare for the monthly exam to save face for me? Isn't it a waste of time to do these things that have nothing to do with you?"
Fu Zhi said in a very calm tone: "You can't earn your face by relying on others. You can be independent and self-reliant."
Old Mrs. Lu: “…”
Moreover, Xu Wei continued: "This exam itself is open to all students in the school, and Chu Wan is also preparing."
Old Madam Lu frowned. "Wanwan is determined to win. She even hopes to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University after getting a place in the upcoming National Physics Competition. Is this the same as Fu Zhi?"
The old lady advised earnestly, "You should know when to advance and when to retreat. Learn from your cousin and don't do things that are thankless and stupid."
Although the old lady didn't like her granddaughter very much, she had brought her back after all, so she could only ask her to study hard and not bring shame to the Lu family.
"What if I get chosen?" Fu Zhi looked at the old lady with no emotion on his face.
"You are crazy!"
The old lady thought Fu Zhi was ridiculous. He wouldn't listen to nice words. How could he compare to Wanwan, who had never disobeyed her. But Fu Zhi was inferior to Wanwan in every way and had so many problems.
But because of Tangdou, the old lady didn't say anything more to her and let her do whatever she wants.
The table fell silent for a while. After a long while, when the meal was almost over, Bai Yao said appropriately, "Mom, you don't have to feel bad. Wanwan has good grades, so you can ask her to lend her review materials to Fu Zhi."
Lu Chuwan also said, "My aunt bought me a lot of review materials. I can give her two for my second aunt's sake."
Bai Yao glanced in Xu Wei's direction, saying meaningfully: "You are sensible, your second aunt loves you for a reason."
The mother and daughter sang in unison, hoping to put the issue of the evening gown behind them.
Fu Zhi spoke before Xu Wei could, "No, I don't need it."
Lu Chuwan's face looked a little ugly: "Do you know how valuable these materials my aunt bought for me are? They are also very helpful for the college entrance examination. They were sold out in the market a long time ago."
Fu Zhi didn't respond and shook the water cup slowly.
Seeing her nonchalant look, Lu Chuwan frowned.
Forget it, there is no need for her to be angry with Fu Zhi. It’s not worth it.
As long as Fu Zhi behaved herself, she didn't care about the extra people in the family. "Then work hard and try to pass the exam."
