Chapter 244: Chapter 244: See You at the College Entrance Exam!
After hearing Yue Qingqing’s words, Lin Chunju was instantly furious.
“This young girl’s heart is too dark. We don’t even settle scores with her, yet she still harbors such thoughts,” she said.
Yue Qingqing nodded, also finding Yu Yaxian quite annoying.
However, with Yue Qingqing there, Lin Chunju wasn’t worried.
“It’s fine, when the time for college entrance exams comes, we will also go to the city to be present. We won’t believe that the young girl can cause any trouble!”
Yue Qingqing felt relieved and left the kitchen carrying a shrimp in her mouth.
It was really a bad habit her master had left her in her previous life; she always wanted to take something from someone else’s stove every time she visited.
Her fellow apprentices had also indulged her, clearly all having practiced fasting, yet they liked bringing all kinds of common people’s delicacies from all over the place. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
As a result, she had developed a bad habit of gluttony that was difficult to break.
Not good. She needed to change; next time for sure!
The significant matter of buying the house had finally settled, leaving only the paperwork.
Yue Jiandong brought back news the second time he went to Zizhu Community, which was due for completion at the end of August.
“It seems like a tycoon bought two buildings directly and even purchased some shops to develop, so the price of the housing went up the next day. We were lucky to have bought ours in time; otherwise, it would have been even more expensive,” he said.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Chunju couldn’t help but feel glad about her decision.
In the end, only the Yue family and another wealthy family from Daye Village moved to the city.
The Yu family would have had a chance if not for the two incidents involving Yu Yaxian’s uncle and a marriage scam.
But due to their own greed, all was lost.
Yu Siyuan, as his family had rented out their land to someone else, now idled about every day, doing nothing in the village.
On returning home, he cursed his mother for her shortsightedness and called her a troublemaker.
Yu’s father grew tired of listening to their fights.
However, because of the family’s ruined reputation, he couldn’t even find old men to play chess with at the village entrance and could only stay at home, stewing in his own frustration.
Yu’s mother would cry and make a fuss but eventually defended herself vigorously.
“Yaxian said that once she gets into university, her status will immediately become that of a cadre. When that happens, we can go to her, and we, too, can become city folks,” she argued.
Yu Siyuan scoffed, “What if she doesn’t get in?”
“Even if she doesn’t, there’s Song Qiming backstopping her. They have agreed to get married as soon as they graduate. Song family is wealthy; a little spill from their wealth is enough for our family to live on. What are you afraid of?”
Convinced by his mother, Yu Siyuan at last stopped quarreling with her.
Anyway, the college entrance exams were only half a month away. It wouldn’t be too late to wait for the results before deciding anything.
However, Yu Yaxian was nowhere near as controlling of Song Qiming as her mother imagined, unlike how Yue Jiannan once tightly managed things.
On the contrary, during their relationship, Song Qiming was very aware of his superior status while Yu Yaxian always had to coax and accommodate him.
This time, to appease Song Qiming’s anger, Yu Yaxian had spent a great deal of effort.
She finally made Song Qiming outwardly believe her words, and the two of them resumed their sweet and sticky relationship as before.
As for whether Song Qiming actually believed her, Yu Yaxian herself was uncertain.
At least, Song Qiming, like her, deeply detested Yue Jiannan.
Such a proud person like him would never allow a peasant boy to climb over his head.
Unfortunately, in the final mock exam before the college entrance exam,
Song Qiming slid to an unprecedented tenth place, almost missing the chance for a college diploma.
Meanwhile, Yue Jiannan ranked fourth in the whole school and, based on past experiences, was very likely to be admitted to a university, hovering just above the cut-off line.
Seeing that frustrating name on the honor roll, Song Qiming gritted his molars in anger.
For the next two or three days, even though Yu Yaxian passionately tried to comfort him with her body at night, Song Qiming could not muster any enthusiasm.
While Yue Jiannan had no idea he had become a thorn in their side, a constant irritant.
He continued to burn the midnight oil every night, hoping to spot review his knowledge and fill in any gaps.
As the days slowly counted down, the countdown on the blackboard finally changed to 3.
Three days later, see you at the college entrance exam!
