Chapter 444 The Yuan Family's Annulment of the Engagement Causes Ying Yuexuan to Collapse [2 Updates]
The Beijing Daily didn't skimp on the space at all, even bolding the headline.
Meng Ru was stunned for a moment.
Because she was the one who initiated and handled everything for Ying Yuexuan in the capital, she was very familiar with that name.
Meng Ru knew that Ying Zijin was studying well at Qingzhi, but she hadn't made a point of looking into it.
Even if she's not the worst, she'll at most be just like Ying Yuexuan.
Moreover, unlike Ying Yuexuan, he doesn't know how to program.
Ying Yuexuan was personally handed over to them by Old Madam Ying. As the eldest daughter of the Ying family, her status and background were far superior to that of an adopted daughter.
The Yuan family has already put in a lot of effort to raise Ying Yuexuan, and they don't have time to take care of another one, Ying Zijin.
But now?
Meng Ru immediately took the newspaper from Yuan's father's hand.
She thought it was just a coincidence of names, but below the title was a large color photo.
The girl wore the school uniform of Qingzhi Middle School, her expression aloof and cold, like the mist on a distant mountain, unapproachable.
Meng Ru's hands trembled.
The top scorer in the college entrance examination, the top scorer with a perfect score!
"What's wrong?" Yuan's father noticed that Meng Ru was unusually distraught for the first time. "Do you know her?"
"I...I know her." Meng Ru tried to control her emotions and calm her tone. "She...she is the adopted daughter of the Ying family that I told you about."
Yuan's father was also shocked: "It's her?"
Meng Ru didn't reply again, and immediately took out her phone to call Ying Yuexuan.
The phone rang seven or eight times before it was answered.
It was Ying Yuexuan's slightly uneasy voice on the other end: "Madam Yuan, what do you need me for?"
"Ying Yuexuan," Meng Ru said coldly, "tell me, what score did you get on the college entrance exam?"
Ying Yuexuan was still on the street when she received the call.
She never expected Meng Ru to call her at this time, and her heart skipped a beat.
Meng Ru is always busy, so why would she suddenly ask about her college entrance exam results so promptly?
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips: "Madam Yuan, I..."
Meng Ru was very shrewd. As soon as she heard her tone, she knew something was wrong, and her tone immediately became colder: "You better not lie to me."
Ying Yuexuan knew she couldn't hide it from Meng Ru anymore, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell her her college entrance exam score: "535".
"535?" Meng Ru laughed when she heard that. "Did you understate your score by 200 points? I can accept 735, but tell me, with 535 points, which university do you want to go to?"
"No, I should say, which one can you go to?"
With a score of 535, do you think you can get into a top-tier university in Shanghai?
Let alone a prestigious university in Beijing, Ying Yuexuan might not even be able to get into a regular first-tier university.
Moreover, if the final cutoff score for first-tier universities is above 535, then Ying Yuexuan will only be able to attend a second-tier university.
The more Meng Ru thought about it, the more she laughed.
How could a promising student from the Computer Science Experimental Class of Beijing University achieve such a score?
"Madam Yuan, I didn't perform well because I was sick." Ying Yuexuan knew she absolutely couldn't let Meng Ru give up on her, so she tried her best to argue, "I can retake the exam. Next year, believe me, I will definitely be the top scorer in Shanghai's college entrance examination."
“You scored 535 points, but your adopted daughter scored 750 points.” Meng Ru ignored her and said coldly, “She also experienced an explosion in O continent. The explosion happened so close to the college entrance examination, and she was at the epicenter of the explosion.”
"She was on the verge of death and still managed to get the top score in the college entrance exam. You just got sick and your performance suffered like this? Ying Yuexuan, do you think I believe that?"
Meng Ru hadn't watched the ISC International Finals; she only knew that China had won first place, and before she could even celebrate, the explosion occurred.
She would know that Ying Zijing was also buried because the newspaper at the time just happened to carry only Ying Zijing's name.
The contrast is too stark; anyone would feel a sense of loss.
Especially since there is a certain relationship between the two of them.
Meng Ru didn't want to say another word to Ying Yuexuan, so she hung up the phone and then blocked the number.
"Annul the engagement." After hearing the whole story, Yuan's father made a decisive decision. "I told you long ago that she had problems, but you still said to wait. This engagement must be annulled immediately."
Fortunately, when they got engaged to Ying Yuexuan and Yuan Jiacheng, they didn't directly inform the entire elite circle of the capital.
Otherwise, if the eldest son of the Yuan family married a woman who didn't even pass the first-tier university entrance exam, how many people would laugh at him?
Ying Yuexuan is only of average to above-average looks. There are plenty of actresses in the entertainment industry who are better looking than her. Marrying her wouldn't even make her a presentable figure.
What did she see in Ying Yuexuan?
Isn't it just intelligence and talent?
“She’s going to retire.” Meng Ru took a deep breath. “It seems something must have happened in O Continent for her to come back. I underestimated her. She’s young, but she’s quite cunning.”
Without saying a word, Meng Ru called the Ying family's old residence again.
She didn't even let Zhong Manhua speak, and directly told her about announcing the engagement, while also blocking all of the Ying family's contact information.
Meng Ru was still furious: "If I had known, I should have done more research back then. Now we're the ones who are associated with the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
She's a wealthy lady in the capital, so why would she bother to investigate the whereabouts of an adopted daughter?
She wouldn't even deign to type in the search box.
Meng Ru had to admit that she had misjudged him.
“What’s the point of saying these things now?” Yuan’s father shook his head. “Don’t even think about it. We can’t even reach them anymore.”
The Mu and Nie families are also looking for high-tech talents. Would it be their turn to befriend a top scorer in the college entrance examination?
Yuan's father understood this very well.
Meng Ru, however, was absent-minded and somewhat unwilling.
That's just one step.
Yuan Jiahe narrowly missed becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
She had to find a way to get in touch with Ying Zijin.
**
Shanghai.
On the street.
Ying Yuexuan was unable to return to the Ying family.
She went out with Zhong Manhua at noon without her keys.
When I ran home, even the gate to the yard was locked.
Ying Yuexuan really didn't expect Zhong Manhua to be so ruthless.
Just because she didn't do well on her college entrance exam?
The college entrance examination is indeed very important, but it cannot determine a person's entire life.
Ying Yuexuan walked aimlessly down the street, only to be scolded by Meng Ru, bringing her to the brink of a mental breakdown.
As a result, when she looked up, she saw that the advertising screen above had changed its advertisement.
[Qin Lingyu's fans congratulate Yingbao on her excellent college entrance examination results!]
Across the street, there's also a large advertising screen.
[Shang Yao's fans congratulate their boss on achieving excellent results in the college entrance examination!]
This was a spontaneous effort by fans from both sides to pay for advertising screens to celebrate Ying Zijin's achievement.
Before this, they only did this on their idol's birthday.
Renting such a large advertising screen in the center of Shanghai would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per second.
Today can be described as a day of celebration across the entire internet.
Surrounded by two large advertising screens, Ying Yuexuan felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
Because her grades at school were significantly different from her college entrance exam scores, the academic affairs director obtained her exam papers from the review team.
The college entrance examination papers in Shanghai are all graded by teachers from Shanghai University.
Ying Yuexuan was horrified to discover that she had missed filling in the blanks in the math multiple-choice questions, causing all the subsequent questions to be misplaced and preventing her from getting any points.
She did the elective questions in both math and science, but surprisingly, she didn't fill in the answer choices.
This is the last mock exam in the senior year of high school, and it's something the teacher will emphasize.
Even if you answer a question correctly, you won't get a single point if you don't fill in the answer choices.
But there really wasn't a chance.
Ying Yuexuan regretted it deeply; why had she acted so quickly to get rid of Ying Zijing?
If she had been more patient, she might have had a better chance.
Now, she has blocked all her paths.
Even Zhong Manhua, who had always doted on her, gave up on her.
Ying Yuexuan was completely bewildered and had no idea what to do.
She walked for a while longer, but finding herself homeless, she had no choice but to contact Jing Hongzhen again.
**
Six o'clock in the evening.
The Nie family's old residence.
In the afternoon, Grandpa Nie instructed the kitchen to start preparing the meal.
Mu Heqing was also there.
Fifth Chuan did not come because he was in poor health and unable to travel.
The two old men were very happy, as if their granddaughter had gotten a perfect score.
Nie Chao was eating a bowl of cherries while watching the college entrance examination news on TV intently.
Television stations in various provinces and cities are reporting on Ying Zijin's achievement as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
"Look at you." Old Master Nie was exasperated and kicked Nie Chao in the backside. "You're a useless bum all day long, all you know is to eat and sleep."
Nie Chaoren was kicked out, but not a single cherry fell from his arms: "I can still make money."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin turned her head and nodded slightly: "Very capable."
Nie Chao was now smug: "Grandpa, did you hear that?"
Grandpa Nie snorted, "Heartless and carefree, yet they seem to be doing quite well."
Although that's what he said, he was actually in a good mood.
On the other side of the sofa, Fu Yunshen picked up Dudu and placed her on the pig plush toy he had bought.
She reached out and poked Dudu's chubby little belly: "It looks just like you, so I can be your mount, how about it?"
Dudu ignored him and turned around, turning her back to him.
