Chapter 922: 226: Science Top Scholar! Crushing the Scum in Progress!_2
Qian Jinfeng was like a proud peacock, acting as if nobody was good enough to match her son!
Her son was the second-highest scorer!
If this were ancient times, he could have climbed straight up the ranks to a high official position!
What about Ni Yang?
Ni Yang was just a country bumpkin! A worthless private entrepreneur!
Did she think she could aspire to her son’s level?
She was utterly lacking in self-awareness!
Li Dongliang said to Li Wei as he pulled him along, "Let’s go, let’s go! Son, we must hurry! We don’t want the journalists to get anxious!"
This was Li Dongliang’s first time being on television in all his years!
Though it was his son who scored second, he, as the father, basked in the reflected glory!
Li Wei looked back at Ni Yang, "Ni Yang, I’ll be going ahead then, don’t be too sad. After all, grades don’t represent everything."
"Let’s go, let’s go," Qian Jinfeng urged as she walked away, "Son, why waste words on her? You’re not even from the same world as her!"
Han Xiaoyu looked back at the Li family of three and curiously asked, "Yangyang, you know that second-highest scorer?"
Ni Yang nodded without hiding anything, "I met him back when I was running a noodle stall."
Han Xiaoyu exclaimed, "That’s incredible! He even managed to become the top scorer in the entire city!"
At that time, earning the second-highest score was an immense honor! It signified a bright future ahead!
They walked and chatted until they reached the classroom in no time.
There were already lots of people in the classroom, waiting just for the homeroom teacher to announce the results.
Ni Yang’s arrival once again caused a sensation.
The looks from everyone were mixed – there was admiration, but also mockery, schadenfreude, and other complicated expressions all intertwined.
You see, Ni Yang used to often rank first in the entire school, but now, the second-highest score had been snagged by someone from class four...
That was a bit strange!
Before this, everyone thought that Ni Yang would at least rank within the top three!
But now that the results were out, she didn’t even make a splash.
"I think her high scores in the previous exams were all cheated!"
"I agree!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a shameless act! I really thought she was something. Turns out it was all copied!"
Among them, Zhou Xuemei was the happiest.
She had despised Ni Yang since the day of the transfer student exam.
Ni Yang was not only pretty but also had great grades. As soon as she arrived at City No. 3 High, she was nicknamed the school beauty.
At that time, Zhou Xuemei had found it strange.
How could there be such a perfect person in this world?
Pretty and smart?
Normally, pretty people aren’t very bright.
So, it was all cheating!
Zhou Xuemei looked at Ni Yang and said sarcastically, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you still have the nerve to come to school to check your scores? If I were you, I’d be too ashamed to show up!"
Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why should I feel ashamed to come here?"
Zhou Xuemei had suffered at Ni Yang’s hands before and didn’t dare to be too aggressive, tauntingly saying, "Ni Yang, you used to often rank first in the whole school, didn’t you? Why so quiet this time? Not only did you not score high, but Brother Awei also got the second-highest score. I remember, every time, your grades were way above Brother Awei’s!"
"Zhou Xuemei! What do you mean by that?" Han Xiaoyu stood up and looked at Zhou Xuemei.
"Means she cheated, can’t you understand?" Zhou Xuemei stood with hands on hips.
"Don’t talk nonsense! Yangyang would never cheat!" Han Xiaoyu was furious. She had great faith in Ni Yang’s character and knew Ni Yang would never cheat.
Perhaps this time it was just a fluke on Ni Yang’s part.
It’s normal to mess up under the intense atmosphere of the Examination Room!
Zhou Xuemei retorted, "If there was no cheating, then how come she didn’t get the scores during the college entrance exam? Always first place during regular tests, but exposed during the college entrance exam! She still has the nerve to say she didn’t cheat! What a shameless claim!"
It’s easy to cheat during regular tests, but the college entrance exam was so strict that there was no possibility of cheating, which is why Ni Yang didn’t achieve a high score!
With these words, the classmates around nodded in agreement, finding Zhou Xuemei’s words reasonable.
"Right, right, Zhou Xuemei is right, Ni Yang definitely cheated."
"I was wondering how she always managed such good grades, always coming first—it turns out she cheated her way to the top!"
Han Xiaoyu, less articulate than Zhou Xuemei, was beside herself with anger and didn’t know what to say. She pointed at Zhou Xuemei and stammered, "You, you! What are you talking about!"
