Chapter 90: College Entrance Examination Score

“Sister, Keqing…” Xu Mingjing still wanted to explain.
But Xu Mingzhen wouldn’t listen at all. “You guys should go.”
Xu Mingjing had no choice but to take Yuan Keqing and get ready to leave. However, as she was about to leave, she said to Xu Mingzhen, “Sister, no matter what your attitude toward me is, I will always treat you as my sister.”
Tan Mo couldn’t stand Xu Mingjing’s disgusting attitude.
Yuan Keqing’s calculating and scheming mindset ever since she’d been a child was no doubt influenced by Yuan Zhengwen.
But her pretentious side really came from Xu Mingjing.
“Aunt,” Tan Mo said in a well-mannered tone of voice, “although my cousin has repeatedly harmed me, you can rest assured that I will not retaliate. I will always be waiting for her to repent.”
Xu Mingjing felt as if she was being choked.
What Tan Mo had said was obviously kind, but why did she feel so uncomfortable after listening to it?
After Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing had left, Li Xiangrong comforted Tan Mo, “Mo Mo, it’s okay. As you said, you are still young, only 15. Even if you take the exam again next year, you will only be 16. You are so smart, so without Yuan Keqing’s interference next year, you will definitely be able to perform very well.”
Tan Mo nodded obediently and thanked Li Xiangrong for her consoling words.
In the tense atmosphere, Li Xiangrong couldn’t stay any longer, so she took Wei Keli and left.
“I am going to leave now also. There are still some things I need to deal with when I get home,” Wei Zhiqian said, lest he be asked why he had returned.
The three Tan family brothers, wishing him to leave quickly, didn’t bother to ask.
“Little Uncle, I will see you off,” Tan Mo said quickly.
The three Tan family brothers: “…”
“Why did she say you could take the exam again next year?” Wei Zhiqian asked when they were outside.
“They knew that I turned in the exam ahead of time, so I pretended that I didn’t do well on the exam.” Tan Mo spread her hands and said, “Yuan Keqing and Wei Keli have been living in my shadow, so occasionally, I wanted to make them happy.”
Even if this happiness was short-lived, at least they would get to be happy for a while, right?
She knew that Yuan Keqing and Wei Keli had been overjoyed when they thought that she had screwed up the exam.
“You are too kind.” Wei Zhiqian touched Tan Mo’s head and said, “They don’t even deserve short-term happiness. In the future, don’t be so soft-hearted.”
The more Wei Zhiqian looked at her, the more he felt that Tan Mo was too kind.
Being so kind and soft-hearted would make her vulnerable to exploitation.
Tan Mo was stunned.
Turns out her acting like this was kind?
Wei Zhiqian nodded his head affirmatively, and so Tan Mo said, “Then I will try not to be so kind.”
Wei Zhiqian left with peace of mind.
While walking back inside, Tan Mo muttered to herself, “It turns out I have always been too soft-hearted. My Little Uncle is so perceptive.”
As soon as Tan Mo entered the house, she was surrounded by Xu Mingzhen and her three brothers.
“Mo Mo, did you really screw up the exam?” Xu Mingzhen touched Tan Mo’s cheek in a worried manner and said, “Was everything you said before just so I wouldn’t worry?”
“Why am I asking you to comfort us instead of the other way around?” It should be her comforting Tan Mo. “How much suffering have you endured alone?”
“Mo Mo, don’t be sad. It doesn’t matter if you failed the exam. Isn’t it just an exam?” Tan Jinsheng comforted her.
“No,” Tan Mo said quickly. “I really did well in the exam. I just lied to Yuan Keqing.”
“Really?” Tan Jinqi was still uneasy.
“Of course it’s true. The results will be available in ten days. If I was lying to you, I won’t be able to hide it at that time,” Tan Mo said.
They all thought about it and agreed.
Tan Mo explained, “Since Yuan Keqing doesn’t want me to do well on the exam, I will let her be happy for a few days, and then when the results come out, she will feel upset once again.”
…
On the day when the results could be checked, Qin Muye dragged Ming Yeqing along with her early in the morning.
“Yeqing, aren’t you going to check the results?” When Ming Yeqing came to the Tan family home, Tan Mo asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going to look at the results with your parents?”
“My parents are busy with work, and they aren’t at home at the moment,” Ming Yeqing explained with a smile. “If I stayed at home, I would have to check alone, so I might as well come over to be with you guys so things will be more lively. My parents have confidence in my grades, so they aren’t particularly nervous. I can just send them the results via text.”
He didn’t even have to make a phone call.
The Tan family: “…”
Ming Yeqing’s parents were really easygoing.
Because today was the day when Tan Mo’s results would come out, Xu Mingzhen didn’t say anything further. Tan Wenci and the Tan family’s brothers were all at home.
As they were talking, the doorbell rang.
Auntie Guo was more calm this time. After she opened the door, she came back to tell Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, “Sir, Madame, Young Master Wei is here.”
Tan Wenci wondered why an injured person like him was running around?
Obviously, he wanted to know Tan Mo’s college entrance examination results at the very first moment.
As the time came to check the results, Qin Muye began to count down with the stopwatch on her phone.
“You can check it now! Hurry up!” Qin Muye jumped directly between Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing.
Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing, each holding a laptop, sat on a sofa in the living room.
Wei Zhiqian occupied a position on the right-hand side of Tan Mo, and gave Tan Wenci and her three brothers no chance to squeeze in.
As a result, Tan Wenci and the three brothers glared at him with resentful expressions before it was time to check the results.
At this moment, Tan Wenci and the three brothers craned their necks as they awaited Tan Mo’s results to come out.
“Yeqing, are you even human?” Qin Muye let out a startled cry, “You actually got 745 points on the test!”
Qin Muye’s face was almost pressed against the computer screen. Ming Yeqing put his palm against her forehead and pushed her face away from the computer screen. “How can you see it clearly if you’re so close?”
“I’m afraid I’m mistaken.” Qin Muye took Ming Yeqing’s hand and looked at it carefully. “You only had five points deducted from the essay, and you got perfect scores in the other subjects.”
“Sure enough, liberal arts aren’t my strong point.” Ming Yeqing shook his head regretfully.
That’s why he had chosen science as his major.
“With this score? With this score? It’s still not your strong point?” Qin Muye wanted to smack him out of anger. “Ming Yeqing, I dare you to show off again!”
Ming Yeqing: “…”
His words had really come from his heart.
“You basically got a perfect score, okay?” Qin Muye said in frustration. Even with such a score, Ming Yeqing was still not satisfied.
“Mo Mo, have you found out yet?” Qin Muye was so angry that she didn’t want to pay attention to him, and she turned around to ask Tan Mo.
Wei Zhiqian retracted his gaze from Ming Yeqing’s score, and looked at Tan Mo’s computer screen again.
Tan Wenci and the three brothers anxiously ran over from the sofa, and they all poked their heads around to look.
When Qin Muye saw the numbers on the screen, she screamed.
Tan Mo was taken aback and quickly tried to cover her ears, but Wei Zhiqian covered her ears for her first.
“Muye, why are you still so jumpy at your age?” Wei Zhiqian looked at Qin Muye reproachfully.
