Upon hearing Yue Qingqing’s response, every child gaped in astonishment.
Even more surprised than when they heard about the three thousand yuan.
Qu Ruorui immediately became anxious, "Qingqing, what are you thinking? It’s such a good opportunity."
Zhuang Lan said in a serious tone, "Lingguang No.1 Middle School has the best educational resources. According to the data, since the start of the college entrance examination, almost all provincial top scorers have been from Lingguang No.1 Middle School. Last year, their admission rate to undergraduate programs reached a new high. I can’t think of any reason for you not to go."
Zhuang Lan also planned to continue working hard at Lingguang No.1 Middle School, hoping to one day surpass Yue Qingqing.
But who knew the other would drop out of the race just like that.
The principal was earnestly trying to persuade Yue Qingqing.
"Although I don’t know the reason of Yue student, the opportunity is truly rare."
Yet Yue Qingqing had made up her mind, as she couldn’t bear to leave her family.
She knew that the Yue Family’s misfortunes were due to borrowed luck before, and now that their fortune was on the rise, it would be hard for them to be targeted.
But Yue Qingqing still feared the unexpected.
Having been abandoned twice in her lifetimes, Yue Qingqing valued family bonds more than anyone else.
All the persuasion from everyone failed to change Yue Qingqing’s mind, leaving the principal with no choice.
"I must inform your parents about this. You are still young, don’t make decisions impulsively."
Yue Qingqing acknowledged with a sound, and the principal suddenly coughed, revealing a gossipy expression out of character for his position.
"Yue student, could it be that you can’t bear to part with a certain classmate? In truth, you should see more of the outside world, you might find something even better."
Obviously, he viewed Yue Qingqing as someone with a premature romance, thinking she couldn’t bear to leave a little boyfriend from the school.
The students: "..." So that’s what kind of principal you are.
When Yue Qingqing returned home, she found the atmosphere was off.
Clearly, the principal had already called her family during her trip back home.
Yue Jiandong rarely showed a stern face as he rolled up his sleeves in an intimidating manner.
"You, young lady, are getting bolder by the day. Can you now make all decisions by yourself?"
Zhang Ying immediately pushed her husband and repeated that familiar line.
"What are you doing? Don’t scare the child."
Yue Jiandong was inwardly agonized, what happened to their united front?
Your daughter hasn’t even spoken yet, and you’re already soft-hearted? This is a matter that affects her whole life!
Zhang Ying held her daughter with a face full of compassion, "It’s okay, Qingqing. Dad and Mom respect your choice. Just share your true thoughts with us."
Yue Jiandong muttered under his breath, "I don’t respect it."
Yue Qingqing hung her head low and whispered, "I have many friends at my current school, and I’ve already grown accustomed to it here."
Her reasoning was too flimsy, and even Yue Xingxing disagreed.
"Oh sister! People should always reach for higher places. It’s just that I didn’t have such an opportunity when I took the exams. If I had this chance, I would be ecstatic."
Yue Xiaohu immediately agreed, "Me too!"
Yue Xingxing habitually slapped him down, "You too? Don’t you also have your middle school exams this time? What about your grades?"
Yue Xiaohu quickly changed the subject, "We aren’t talking about me right now; it’s about Sister Qingqing."
Even Yue Xiaofang, who normally indulged the children, was feeling a bit distressed.
"When the Yue Family moved from Daye Village to the city, it was in the hopes of providing the children with a better education. Looking at you, Xingxing, and Xiaohu, we know our decision was right. But now with an even better school available, why wouldn’t you go?"
Yue Qingqing remained silent, her quiet demeanor looking somewhat pitiful, which made Yue Jiandong reluctant to continue.
Lin Chunju, who had been silent until now, came over.
"How about a little whisper in the bedroom with grandma?"
