This woman just would not give up!
Therefore, Ye Qiao exposed Qin Lan in front of all the other parents.
âQiao Qiao, it mustâve been a misunderstanding, then.â Qin Lan said sheepishly as she was holding in her anger. Although she could not go to the military neighborhood, she knew exactly what Ye Qiao had been doing. Ye Qiao had asked for a mansion to start a company with a bunch of people!
âAuntie Qin, youâre my kind stepmother, so please talk to me if thereâs anything you donât know. Otherwise, other people would think we barely interact!â Ye Qiao teased. It was immediately obvious to the others that they did not get along well.
Qin Lan was embarrassed as she had been trying to maintain her reputation as a good mother. To make matters worse for her, she could not scold Ye Qiao in public, so she could only swallow the anger!
Meanwhile, the school gate opened. Parents and students flooded the compound immediately. The results were already posted on the announcement board! Like before, it was a name list in bright red.
Parents and students crowded in front of the board, sticking their heads out to find their names.
The head of the high school seniors held a loudspeaker, along with a few other teachers who were holding a red banner. There were some pink papers on the banner written with words, but they were folded so no one could tell what they were.
âMy daughter is not here yet. Are they holding congratulatory words? She had better not miss her most glamorous moment!â Qin Lan mumbled. The crowd was too chaotic, and as a rich and elegant lady, she would not allow herself to join the crowd.
Instead, she went to look for the Head of Year.
There were already a few parents asking about the banner, but Qin Lan butted in and asked, âMr. Sun, how did Zhenzhen do? Is she the top student?â
The Head of Year looked at the wife of the deputy mayor and smiled awkwardly. âCongratulations, Qin Lan!â
Qin Lan was so excited that she almost jumped. However, she had to remain composed, so she smiled elegantly. The other parents then looked at her enviously. âZhenzhenâs mom, your wishes really came true! Zhenzhen is too good!â
âExactly, how did you teach such a wonderful child?â Another parent fawned.
Qin Lan was extremely flattered. Her smile was as bright as a peony. âI have never worried about Ye Zhenzhenâs studies before! Of course, this may be because of genetics. Her father and I were both top-scorers!â
She was mocking Ye Qiao, who was not too far away.
Apparently, Qin Lan celebrated way too early!
Meanwhile, the Head of Year listened to their conversation awkwardly.
Luckily, a male student shouted, âShit! Ye Qiao scored the highest total score! Both in the school and the town! Highest in the town!â
Qin Lan and the few other parents fell silent... Many other students fell silent too... Ye Qiao was the top scorer! She was even the townâs top scorer!
Qin Lanâs ears buzzed; she thought she was having an illusion. The smile on her face turned cold, and her expression went gloomy!
âThatâs right! This year, the overall top scorer and the townâs top scorer is from our school â Ye Qiao from the accelerated class! She scored a total of 662 marks!â The Head of Year spoke proudly into the speaker. Who would have thought that the townâs top scorer would come from their school!?
