Just then, Luo Zhihan returned from his phone call. He stood tall and elegant, holding his phone, looking every bit the refined and graceful gentleman.
A halo appears around the crescent moon, and cherry blossoms and snow illuminate the scene.
Unfortunately, there was no smile in his eyes.
“Your cousin might really have some problems,” Luo Zhihan said, her eyes slightly cold. “Jiang Baili didn’t get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.”
Xie Li: "???"
Xie Li: "!!!"
——
Meanwhile, the Xie family.
Jiang Baili made several phone calls, her face growing increasingly pale. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and smashed her phone hard!
Xie Yunqiu, who had just had a brief chat with Butler Wu in the living room about the graduation ceremony, came upstairs to find Jiang Baili. She was startled when she encountered this scene as soon as she entered the door.
"What happened?" She pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders, still in a good mood. She picked up her phone and saw that the screen was cracked.
She didn't seem to care, saying, "Now that you've been admitted to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School, you can get a new phone too."
These words stung Jiang Baili, and tears streamed down her face. "Mom, I don't know what happened..."
She stammered, "It must be that assistant, yes, it must have been her who switched my and Xie Li's exam papers!"
Xie Yunqiu sensed something was wrong with what Jiang Baili was saying, and her face gradually darkened. She snatched the admission notice from Jiang Baili's hand, opened it, and almost fainted when she saw it!
The admission notice prominently displayed the two characters "Xie Li".
Xie Yunqiu's face instantly darkened, and he stared at Jiang Baili with a gloomy gaze. "Where is your admission notice?"
Jiang Baili covered her face, tears streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably, shaking her head, "I don't know, I don't know."
Qian Sao and the male servant, who were following behind Xie Yunqiu, had already obediently closed the door.
Xie Yunqiu stood there, watching Jiang Baili cry and sob, and in a fit of rage, he slapped her across the face.
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry! You've disappointed me so much!"
She was both shocked and furious. Xie Li had actually passed the exam, while Jiang Baili, on whom she had placed high hopes, had failed?!
How is she supposed to face Ding Huizhu after this?!
The thought of Ding Huizhu's smug and arrogant behavior made her unable to resist slapping her again.
"You're not even as good as a country girl, you good-for-nothing!"
Jiang Baili was slapped twice, and her face instantly became red and swollen. However, the slaps brought her to her senses, and she slowly stopped crying.
Seeing Xie Yunqiu's shocked and angry expression, she took the initiative to support Xie Yunqiu's arm, saying, "Mom, I'm sorry, but I feel there's something wrong with this."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunqiu quickly calmed down. Deep down, she still couldn't believe that Xie Li, a village girl, could be better than Jiang Baili, whom she had carefully trained.
Besides, Jiang Baili always had excellent grades in the capital, ranking among the top, which always made her proud.
It makes no sense that after arriving in Linjiang City, his grades would immediately plummet, and he wouldn't even be able to get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.
Seeing that her expression had softened, Jiang Baili hurriedly told Xie Yunqiu about the unusual thing that had happened with the assistant in the examination room.
The more Xie Yunqiu listened, the more gloomy his face became, until it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
After all, she was the daughter of the Xie family, one of the four great families in Linjiang City. Although she had been married to a man in the capital for more than ten years, she still had a wide network of connections in Linjiang City. She made a few phone calls on the spot and contacted the vice principal of Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.
After briefly describing the situation, he said directly, "Principal Wei, my daughter Baili has always been in the top 50 of her grade at the No. 13 Middle School in the capital. To be frank, with these grades, she is absolutely qualified to get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School."
