Chapter 56: Keep Things Consistent “How did Mo Mo’s test go?” Xu Mingjing didn’t know that Tan Mo was taking the test in order to skip grade levels.
The Tan family hadn’t made the matter public.
Although they believed in Tan Mo, they were afraid that if Tan Mo failed the exam, it could be shameful for Tan Mo.
Therefore, Xu Mingjing thought that Tan Mo was taking an ordinary first grade exam.
Also, Xu Mingjing didn’t know that even for the first grade exam, Jixia Academy’s test questions were different from those of Shijing.
Jixia Academy’s test questions were much harder.
There were other schools that used the test questions from Jixia Academy for their students to use as a reference.
However, there were very few students from these schools who could answer the questions correctly.
This was really embarrassing, so the schools kept it a secret, and not many people knew about it.
Xu Mingjing naturally did not know.
Xu Mingzhen was about to say something when she heard Yuan Keqing’s voice calling out, “Mom!”
They all three turned their heads and looked to where the shout had come from. They saw Yuan Keqing trotting over.
“Aunt, cousin,” Yuan Keqing yelled when she saw Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo.
“Keqing has also finished the test. How do you feel you did on the test this time?” Xu Mingzhen asked with a smile.
Yuan Keqing’s smile suddenly became forced, and she said with a disappointed air, “It wasn’t ideal.”
Xu Mingjing felt sad for her but then she said, “It’s okay, it’s okay to not do well on a test once or twice. And the current scores won’t represent your future scores.”
Many people have good grades in elementary school, but they can’t keep up in middle and high school.

Some people have average grades in elementary school, but in the middle and high schools, they seemed to have awakened, and their grades become very good.
Yuan Keqing was not stupid.
Besides, so what if her grades were really bad?
Their family doesn’t need to rely on Yuan Keqing’s academic qualifications to change their lives.
Their family has their own company, and they didn’t need Yuan Keqing to use her academic qualifications to find them all jobs.
In the future, they will spend money to send Yuan Keqing to study abroad. Shouldn’t it be a piece of cake to get a degree?
Xu Mingjing was also not worried.
Yuan Keqing said to Xu Mingjing, “I was careless on a few math questions this time. I only got 90 points on the test. For the English test I got a perfect score, but 8 points were deducted for the composition section of the Chinese test, so I only got 92 points on the test.”
“Why are you so humble at such a young age?” Xu Mingjing looked surprised as she said, “When I heard what you said before, I thought you must have done very badly on the exam. Aren’t these very good scores?”
Even though the test questions were relatively simple in elementary school, these scores were still very good.
After all, Yuan Keqing was still a beginner, and she hadn’t studied much yet so the problems should be difficult for her.
How many people that she knows have children at home who can’t score half as well on the exam?
Tan Mo watched with a smile. Yuan Keqing was showing off under the guise of acting modest.
She said that she did not do well on the exam, but in reality, she wanted her scores to be praised and envied.
Xu Mingzhen did not hesitate to praise her. “Yes, Keqing, your scores are very good, so why did you say they weren’t good?”
Xu Mingjing was very satisfied with Yuan Keqing’s achievements. She put her hand on Yuan Keqing’s shoulder and said, “This kid is always so humble.”
“By the way, how did Mo Mo do on the exam? She must have done well on the exam too,” Xu Mingjing asked with a relaxed expression.
Speaking of this, Xu Mingzhen couldn’t hide the pride and joy on her face as she said, “Mo Mo got full marks in all subjects this time.”

“Really? This is really good.” Xu Mingjing smiled, but her smile was obviously not as sincere as before.
If Tan Mo had scored similarly to Yuan Keqing and done well in some subjects but not so well in other subjects, Xu Mingjing wouldn’t have thought much about it.
The two of them were both taking the exam, but Tan Mo had gotten full marks.
This was enough to make her jealous.
Xu Mingzhen was about to say that Tan Mo’s exam was the third grade’s exam, but Tan Mo grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
Xu Mingzhen froze, and she heard Tan Mo say, “Probably my cousin’s exam questions were more difficult.”
Of course they had to give the blow little by little.
How could it be done all at once?
They have to keep the matter a secret in order to surprise them with it when the time comes.
“Yes,” Xu Mingzhen said with a smile. “After all, Jixia Academy is where the children of prominent families go, and it must be impossible for them to solely focus on studies.”
They can enter prestigious schools with money, even those ranked top in the world.
“I heard that Jixia Academy has a more laissez-faire educational approach. Horseback riding, archery, and golf are included in the curriculum. The requirements for core classes might not be so high.” Xu Mingjing was immediately encouraged by this thought.
From this point of view, Tan Mo and Yuan Keqing might actually be at the same level, and it was even possible that Yuan Keqing’s academic skills were better.
Xu Mingzhen’s smile faded coldly, but Xu Mingjing was still talking. “But it’s okay. Anyway, Mo Mo has you and three older brothers, so she doesn’t need to do that well in her studies.”
Xu Mingzhen was wearing a fake smile..
Their family really supported Tan Mo being a parasite.
But if this word came out of other people’s mouths, it wouldn’t sound so nice.
“From your words, it sounds as if you think Mo Mo failed the exam or something.” Xu Mingzhen smiled coldly and she said, “Mo Mo got full marks on the exam.”

After Xu Mingjing heard this, her smile froze.
But who cares? She still got full marks on the test.
“And ah…” Xu Mingzhen couldn’t hold back. She was dying to tell them that Tan Mo had taken the third grade test.
“Mom!” Tan Jinqi suddenly interrupted her.
Xu Mingzhen turned and saw that her three sons had arrived at some point in time and were standing by.
She hadn’t even noticed them arriving.
Tan Jinqi and the others knew that Xu Mingzhen was about to say that Tan Mo’s exam was the third grade exam, so they quickly interrupted her.
Tan Jinqi was mischievous, and his ideas coincided with those of Tan Mo.
They could only give them a slap in the face once, right?
They had to save it for the future to keep things consistent.
Therefore, he decisively interrupted Xu Mingzhen and walked over to her with his two younger brothers.
“Mom, Mo Mo, why are you two here?” After Tan Jinyi saw Tan Mo, he didn’t care about anything else.
Xu Mingzhen’s attention had also been diverted by Tan Jinyi’s excitement. “I picked up Mo Mo and brought her with me to pick you all up. Are you guys happy?”
“I’m so happy!” While Tan Jinyi was still distracted with excitement, Tan Jinsheng took the opportunity to squeeze him out of the way as he hugged Tan Mo. “Mo Mo, your brother missed you so much!”
Tan Mo’s little face was stuck to Tan Jinsheng’s chest and squeezed into a distorted shape. She said with difficulty, “Second brother, we went out together this morning!”
“If I don’t see you in a day, it feels like three years have passed. If I don’t see you for half a day, it feels like half a year has passed.” Tan Jinsheng held Tan Mo tightly without letting go.
Tan Mo: “…”
Could things be calculated like that?
“Mom, let’s go back soon. Mo Mo has been waiting here for a long time, so she must be hungry.” Tan Jinqi reminded her.
“Right, right,” Xu Mingzhen said. “I asked Auntie Guo to start preparing lunch at home. Let’s go back and eat it.”
Xu Mingzhen was extremely satisfied with her children, and she couldn’t be bothered to make a fuss with Xu Mingjing. “Okay, we’re leaving. It was nice seeing you.”
