Chapter 98: My Abilities Are Limited
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er spent more than 20 minutes double-checking the last few major questions. After confirming that her answers were correct, she stood up.
The invigilator asked, “Are you turning in your paper?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “My abilities are limited. I’ve already done my best.”
The invigilator was stunned.
When the other examinees who were still working hard on the questions saw this scene, they were shocked. They felt an invisible pressure. Whether they could enter the national competition depended on this exam. They all had the same thought. ‘Is Jiang Ling’er so sure that she can get first place? Why did she hand in her paper ahead of time?’
After leaving the examination hall, Jiang Ling’er went downstairs.
Just as she was about to leave, a familiar voice called out, “Ling’er.”
She turned around and saw the dean waving at her from the office. She walked over and asked in confusion, “Dean, what’s the matter?”
The dean asked with a frown, “Why did you come out so early? Did you check your answers properly? This exam is very important.”
Jiang Ling’er said confidently, “I’ve already checked everything. I was getting sleepy sitting in there, so I decided to submit my paper.”
“You…” the dean remarked helplessly.
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Dean. The exam wasn’t difficult, and I’ve taken it seriously. Also, 1 won’t be going back with you guys. I’ll leave first. Bye.”
Having said that, she walked away without looking back.
Outside the hotel, Jiang Ling’er didn’t see a car. She suddenly remembered that Wang Lu should be waiting somewhere else. She took out her phone to call Wang Lu and ask him to pick her up. However, before she could make the call, a black sports car stopped in front of her.
Jiang Ling’er instinctively looked over and was surprised to see Li Yu. She asked, “Mr. Li, why are you here?”
Li Yu furrowed his brows and said, “Call me uncle.”
Jiang Ling’er questioned, “What’s the matter?”
Li Yu asked, “What? Can’t 1 come and see you for no reason?”
Jiang Ling’er glanced at Li Yu and said, “You’re so busy. How could you have the leisure to look for me?”
Li Yu said playfully, “Who said I’m busy?”
Jiang Ling’er answered, “I said it. Is that enough?”
Li Yu said, “Alright. Get on.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Thank you, but it’s fine. I’ve asked my driver to fetch me.”
Li Yu said, “I came here specifically to look for you. Won’t you save me the embarrassment of getting rejected?”
Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “Okay, sure.”
After saying that, she went to open the backseat door, but it wouldn’t budge.
“Come to the front,” Li Yu said with a smile.
Jiang Ling’er hesitated for some time before walking to the passenger seat.
After getting into the car, she sent a message to Wang Lu. Then, she glanced at Li Yu and asked, “Mr. Li, why did you come looking for me?”
Li Yu frowned and said, “I wanted to see you. 1 heard that you were joining a competition here, so 1 came over. Can you stop calling me Mr. Li? You can either call me ‘uncle’ or by my first name.”
Jiang Ling’er pretended to not hear his words and looked out the window.
Li Yu was speechless. ‘Is it so difficult to call me by my name?’
He asked, “Is there something on your mind? Is that why you turned in your paper early?”
Jiang Ling’er answered, “There’s nothing on my mind. 1 finished the questions quickly, so I turned it in early. It’s not a competition to see who sits there the longest.”
Li Yu smiled. She looked so confident, so the exam shouldn’t be difficult for her at all. He looked at the time and said, “It’s pretty late. Let me treat you to dinner. Afterward, I’ll take you to wherever you want to go.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “I originally wanted you to send me back to school directly, but since you’ve extended the offer, I’ll reluctantly have a meal with you. The hotel breakfast was not delicious, so now I feel really hungry.”
Li Yu was speechless. ‘What a good excuse!’
About fifteen minutes later, Li Yu brought Jiang Ling’er to an exquisite private restaurant.
He seemed like a regular here. As soon as they entered, the manager personally greeted them and brought them to a private room.
After ordering the dishes, the waiters left.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, “Jiang Jun has been very quiet recently. He suddenly stopped causing trouble. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Jiang Ling’er said nonchalantly, “What’s so strange about it? If you ask me, I’m guessing he’s preparing for a big move.”
Seeing Jiang Ling’er’s completely indifferent attitude, Li Yu asked, “Since you know that he’s planning something big, aren’t you worried at all?”
