Chapter 110 - 110: 068 Score (Second Update)_3
As Ming Jing entered, the other class teachers looked up at her simultaneously.
Ming Jing’s name was well-known, but there were only a few teachers who had actually met her in person other than the ones who taught her.
Unexpectedly, she was such a beautiful girl. There were still many legendary things about her – born in a wealthy family, she was the true heiress who had been lost outside for many years. As for the fake heiress…
Several teachers turned their gaze to the headteacher of Class 1, Zou Wei.
The fake heiress, Zhu Xiangxiang, was his proud student. Teachers often gossiped about her in their spare time to add some excitement to their dull lives. They had enjoyed the recent drama about the true and fake heiresses in the Zhu family.
Zou Wei coughed and glanced at Ming Jing, who bowed her head and worked.
“Ming Jing, the reason I called you here is to discuss the Math Olympiad competition scheduled for this week. Go and discuss the training class with your family. Here’s the registration form. Fill it out and give me a call.”
Huang Liang handed her the registration form: “This time, our school has registered a total of five students, but the teachers have high hopes for you and Song Yinzhang. We hope you two won’t let the teachers and school down.”
After Ming Jing left, the headteacher of Class 2 sighed, “Mr. Huang, you’re so lucky. Your underachieving class suddenly got a top student, which has raised your class’s average score and surpassed Class 7. You’re no longer the worst, and it looks like you’ll keep this month’s bonus.”
The headteacher of Class 7’s face turned sour.
Huang Liang coughed and said with a smile, “I remember back then that Director Zhao wanted to move Ming Jing to your class, Mr. Li. It seems you pitied me, knowing my financial difficulties, and deliberately gave up the bonus to me.”
Mr. Li, the headteacher of Class 2, stiffened at these words, feeling that he had unknowingly dug his own grave by trying to mock others.
As soon as Zhu Xiangxiang entered the house, she saw Zhu Wenjie sitting on the living room sofa eating fruit, and she sensed something was wrong.
As expected, Zhu Wenjie asked, “Xiangxiang, today’s the day you received your test scores, right? You must have done well. Show me so your cousin can learn from you.”
Zhou Bao scoffed, “Never mind, if I want to learn from anyone, it’ll be my cousin Ming Jing.”
Granny Zhu also asked from the side, “How did you do on this test?” Zhu Xiangxiang’s face stiffened, “Well… I did okay, I guess.”
“Show your test scores to Granny, I’ve already prepared your red envelope.”
Zhu Xiangxiang reluctantly walked over and handed the test scores to her. Zhu Wenjie snatched them first and read aloud. “Math 105, Chinese 109, English 111, Physics 82… total 739.”
“Rank 87 in the whole grade and 32 in the class.”
Zhu Wenjie raised her voice by several octaves, making sure every corner of the villa could hear. She looked at Zhu Xiangxiang incredulously, “Xiangxiang, are these really your test scores? Weren’t you always in the top ten before?”
Zhu Xiangxiang snatched her test scores back, her face burning with humiliation.
Granny Zhu frowned at her and sighed.
Just then, Zhou Bao exclaimed excitedly, “Cousin Ming Jing’s back!” Zhou Bao, like a happy little bird, excitedly ran out, “Cousin Ming Jing, can I take a peek at your test scores?”
Ming Jing always indulged her cute little cousin and took the test scores out of her bag to give to her.
Zhou Bao treasured the scores like a priceless gem, and incredulously said, “Cousin, you’re incredible! Full scores in every subject except Chinese! ”
Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly turned her head, her face pale as she stared at Ming Jing.
Zhu Wenjie took a look and exclaimed, “The first in the entire grade. This is so strange, our Zhu family doesn’t have the top student gene.”
Granny Zhu laughed, “Ming Jing has really brought honor to our family. I must burn incense and pray to her grandfather. He’ll be thrilled in heaven to see how outstanding she is.”
Zhu Xiangxiang wished she could disappear on the spot.
Zhu Wenjie, however, had no intention of letting her off easy, “Xiangxiang, I remember you used to do well in school. What happened? You should learn more from Ming Jing.”
“Mom, Ming Jing didn’t receive education since childhood, but as soon as she came back, she scored full marks. What does this mean? It just means she’s a genius. There’s a wide gap between a genius and ordinary people, like the Milky Way. Don’t embarrass Xiangxiang. I guess this is the best she can do,” Zhou Bao said.
Zhu Xiangxiang’s face burned as Zhou Bao’s words made her sound like a fool.
Zhu Wenjie feigned a sigh, “A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, a rat’s son can dig holes. I finally understand the meaning of this saying. All the money my big sister-in-law spent nurturing Xiangxiang for more than a decade has gone down the drain.”
“Alright, stop it. The child must feel terrible. Xiangxiang, just do your best next time, and don’t listen to your aunt,” Granny Zhu comforted her.
Zhu Xiangxiang reluctantly replied, ‘Yes.”
Zhou Bao secretly took a photo of Ming Jing’s test scores with her phone before returning them to Ming Jing.
Ming Jing and Zhu Xiangxiang went upstairs together. With her back to the others, Zhu Xiangxiang murmured, “Zhu Mingjing, you must be very happy now. ”
Ming Jing smiled, “Just as you wished.”
Zhu Xiangxiang was furious, but Ming Jing had already left her and returned to her room.
Downstairs, Granny Zhu asked Zhu Wenjie, “What do you want?”
“Mom, listen to you. Can’t I visit you if I have nothing to do?”
“You wouldn’t come unless you had a good reason. I know what you’re like. Just speak up and get it over with,” Granny Zhu said impatiently.
Zhu Wenjie lowered her voice and looked around, “Mom, Lin Qing’s not here, right?”
“She’s your sister-in-law.”
Zhu Wenjie scoffed, “Not for long.”
Granny Zhu narrowed her eyes, “What do you mean?”
Zhu Wenjie leaned in mysteriously, “I’ll tell you the truth, mom. My brother plans to divorce Lin Qing and drive her out of the house. The Zhu family’s fortune will still be firmly in your and my brother’s hands.”
“Nonsense,” Granny Zhu pointed at her nose and scolded, “Get out of here.”
Zhu Wenjie snorted, “Why are you getting angry at me? It’s Lin Qing who couldn’t hold onto her man. She brought it upon herself. Besides, she’s not good to you either. Wouldn’t it be better to have a new daughter-in-law who treats you with respect?”
“An old wife shouldn’t be too easily discarded. If Zhou Ping divorced you now and married someone else, could you laugh it off?” Zhu Wenjie snorted, “He dares! I’ll skin him alive..”
