The moment she left, Xue Ying and the other teachers burst out laughing.
“That girl really has no idea. The worse their results are, the more ignorant they are.”
Then one of them turned to Lin Wenyu and Feng Chuchu.
“Wenyu, Chu Chu, our school is placing all our hopes on the two of you. If you remain steady with your great results, going to France will not be an issue.”
Lin Wenyu nodded and assured them, “We will work hard, teacher.”
Of course, she would bring this piece of news home. Tang Yi and Senior Madam Tao were rather happy when they heard this.
Not only had Lin Wenyu made it into the focus class, but she was also a member of the Chemistry competition class. This made her father look very good.
After all, in the capital’s high society, apart from Feng Xian from the Feng family who held such a record, they, the Tang family, would be next.
Furthermore, Feng Xian was five to six years Lin Wenyu’s senior. Hence there was no other competition around her age group.
Yun Ruyi smiled and said, “Mom, Brother Yi, not that I’m bragging, but I do know Wenyu’s results. I’m very sure she’ll make it to the competition in France. And after clinching the gold medal, getting into a prestigious school will be no issue. It will save us a lot of time too. At that point, the child will have free time and our family can have a proper holiday for once.”
Senior Madam Tao smiled faintly but did not speak.
At this point…
“Dad, Grandma, actually Cousin wishes to take part in this competition as well. I do feel that she’s got a high chance of winning.”
Tang Yi’s expression immediately clouded over. “I’d thank the heavens if she doesn’t embarrass me!”
Lin Wenyu whispered, “But, today, in the teacher’s office, Cousin told the teacher that even if she were to fall asleep in class, she wouldn’t end up dragging down the rest of the class. I could tell she was quite confident.”
Tang Yi put down his chopsticks. He was already frustrated to begin with, having been unsuccessful in signing the contract with Lu Corporation. Hearing about this now only worsened his mood.
Noticing her husband’s expression, Yun Ruyi asked her daughter, “Why was she called to the teacher’s office?”
“Oh… It seemed that Cousin had been disobedient in class and made the teacher angry. The teacher had wanted to transfer her to a lagging class but eventually gave her another chance. So they had a talk…”
“That ignorant!” Tang Yi slammed his chopsticks onto the table.
Turning to Yun Ruyi, he ordered, “Go and have a talk with the school. Tell them they are not to allow her to participate in any competitions whatsoever. She’d just be an embarrassment to everyone!”
The Tang family had always donated money to support various activities in the school as well as its construction. For this reason he had always been highly-regarded by the Head of the school.
It was not a problem at all for them to place restrictions on a student.
Yun Ruyi looked troubled and said, “Is that a good thing to do really? The child has her own dreams to chase.”
“She doesn’t even have the slightest bit of capability, what dreams are there to speak of! I’ve already decided. There’s no need to talk about this further. Just do as I’ve said.”
Senior Madam Tao sighed on hearing this, but she remained silent.
…
The skies had darkened.
Tang Qianmiao got out of the car and told Black Chicken to head home to rest. The moment she stepped through the main gate, a flash of fluorescence rushed towards her.
Lightly lifting her foot, she easily intercepted it.
“Woof!”
The furry white samoyed barked at her noisily through the metal gate.Picking up the ball, she walked towards it, spinning the ball on the tips of her fingers. The samoyed watched, dazzled, and seemed to have forgotten how to bark.
Soon after, the security officer unlocked the gate for her and she walked in, the white Samoyed at her heels.
“Your master must be around somewhere.”
Although she didn’t see him anywhere, she caught a whiff of that faint milky, peppermint scent.
He was nearby.
But apart from this scent, there was…
Recognizing this other scent, the leisurely expression on her face disappeared.
She tossed the ball at the Samoyed and he bounded after it playfully.
As expected, as she walked the row of planters, she saw Feng Xian, who was at this moment being pestered by Tang Qianheng.
It was a rather amusing scene…
