Chapter 319 - 319 Meet!
319 Meet!
In the Chu Manor.
Chu Cimo was complacently circling Chu Xiaoqi. No matter how he looked, he somehow found his daughter extremely pleasing to the eye. He happily spoke.
“Hahaha, I’ve said that my daughter would surely not be bad. She was also selected and this is simply too impressive! As expected of Chu Cimo’s daughter! Big bro, I’m not in any way worse than you!”
Chu Cichen cooly looked at him. “Xiaoqi scored zero points.”
“…So what? Being able to score zero isn’t easy either! Beloved daughter, you are so impressive and could actually score zero?” Chu Cimo then felt a little depressed as he looked at Chu Xiaoqi.
After all, there were multiple questions where they were required to make a judgment and select an answer. Even if one guessed blindly, they would surely be able to score one or two points correctly, right?
Chu Xiaoqi chewed on an apple. “Since I don’t know how to answer those questions, I just left them blank!”
“…”
Chu Cimo was speechless!
“Stop flaunting.” Matriarch Chu couldn’t bear to watch anymore. “The three children of your big brother legitimately got selected, but I can’t help feeling that Xiaoqi being selected was a fluke.”
Matriarch Chu was an intelligent woman. She was sensitive and stated, “Sparton is the most famous educator overseas and he said that he would only accept four students. Now, all four students are from our family…I’m afraid this might be a thorn in the flesh of everyone else and would invoke jealousy from others.”
Never assumed that these influential families didn’t give a damn about educational resources. The higher one’s status was, the more they would want everything.
Chu Cimo’s eyes flashed, yet he waved his hands dismissively. “How can that be possible? Could they sway Sparton’s mind? In addition, Xiaoqi was personally selected by him!”
Matriarch Chu twitched the corner of her lips. “What if he simply decided to recruit Xiaoqi as a freebie because the other three were already chosen?”
Chu Cimo. “…Mother, you are underestimating my Xiaoqi. That’s too much!”
Matriarch Chu also felt that her words might hurt Chu Xiaoqi’s pride, so she hurriedly looked at the little girl. However, she only saw that the little girl was still chewing her apple seriously, like she didn’t care about this at all.
Matriarch Chu then heaved a sigh of relief.
Bai Shanshan who was at the side also felt a little surreal.
She had always felt self-inferior in school after her father passed away. After that, she was played by the Yan Family for so long and had long since lost this feeling called ‘pride’.
So, no matter how she encouraged her daughter, she had never thought that her daughter could be selected.
At this moment, she felt both surprised and shocked. She dumbly stared at Chu Cimo. “Is this real? I’m not dreaming, right?”
The special kindergarten only recruited child geniuses from all over the country.
Their daughter was actually ranked fourth?
As for Shen Ruojing, she basically gave no regard for this matter at all. From her point of view, it was very normal for Xiaoqi to have been chosen. She sat on the sofa and as she was contemplating some things, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She glanced at it and discovered that someone had tagged her in the kindergarten chat group.
[Dingding’s mother: Madam Chu, four children from your family got selected, and this is unfair to the rest of the children, right? I feel like you should give up two or three slots. Your family can’t possibly monopolize all the good things, right?]
Shen Ruojing. “??”
She felt that this person was mental.
Why should they give up the slots?
When she was pondering, she discovered someone had added her as a friend on WeChat. After checking, she saw that it was Dingding’s mother. So, Shen Ruojing rejected it immediately without even thinking.
After some time, Dingding’s mother added her again and the opening message was: [Madam Chu, I’m saying this for your own good. Your family has no status in the capital, and it isn’t too good to be too high-profile. If you can give three slots up, everyone will definitely accept your family easier.]
Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes as she looked at the message.
A surge of anger slowly rose from her heart.
She didn’t like being calculative with the family members of patients because they would surely feel panicked due to concern. Hence, for people like the dean’s nanny, she could tolerate it when the nanny cursed at her.
However, this didn’t mean that she would accept it from this group of people who were so self-righteous.
Shen Ruojing ignored her and directly replied tyrannically in the group chat. [Nope.]
The group chat immediately exploded.
Some started criticizing her for being too selfish. Sparton didn’t come to China for Shen Ruojing’s family, so on what grounds did she have to monopolize so many education resources?
Shen Ruojing then treated their replies like thin air.
On the other hand, Shen Wanying felt her lips curling when she saw these texts.
Back then in the hospital, the reason why she had helped Shen Ruojing explain the life-saving pill was all for this moment!
Although she understood that the four children of the Chu Family being selected had nothing to do with the life-saving pill, the other parents in the group chat had no idea. This was especially so when Chu Xiaoqi got selected despite scoring zero points. Everyone would definitely feel that it was because of that life-saving pill.
Now, didn’t they already start creating trouble?
Shen Wanying placed her phone down and smiled.
The crusade against Shen Ruojing continued all the way until 9 p.m. However, Shen Ruojing no longer replied, so everyone slowly subsided into silence.
The next day.
After Shen Wanying woke up, she brought Bai Yitong to Matriarch Bai’s room.
Matriarch Bai was already very old, hence, she woke up very early.
She was already fully dressed. After seeing the two of them, Matriarch Bai stood up. “Let’s go.”
The Bai Family’s car drove to the kindergarten and although it was peak period, all the parents at the entrance opened a path up for them.
Matriarch Bai held Bai Yitong’s hand as they imperiously strode into the school, walking through the crowd.
She got Bai Yitong to go to his classroom first before she turned and headed to Dean Lin Yi’s office.
Lin Yi had already arrived. After seeing her, the two shared a glance and understood each other’s intentions respectively. Matriarch Bai asked, “Will this matter be easy to resolve?”
Lin Yi nodded. “It is not difficult. Sparton has agreed that I can decide who the fourth child is.”
Matriarch Bai waved her hand. “Good then.”
However, Dean Yi hesitated.
Matriarch Bai asked, “What’s the matter?”
Dean Lin Yi sighed. “I wasn’t present yesterday and the teachers didn’t understand my intention. After Sparton confirmed the name list, they directly announced the names. Now if we suddenly change a name, I will feel guilty as the dean, as this is the first time I’m doing this for personal reasons!”
The two of them were best friends for many years, so they didn’t beat around the bush.
Matriarch Bai immediately stated. “This is simple. How about this? Get that child and her parents here, and I will negotiate with them. I will give them some benefits and get them to surrender the slot of their own volition. If the fourth slot is empty, Little Tong should be the next in line, right?”
Dean Lin Yi nodded.
She actually felt very guilty in her heart.
The fourth slot was something she had requested from Sparton due to their friendship in addition to giving him some benefits. So, it was indeed true that she did this for Matriarch Bai.
Since that was the case, why didn’t they compensate Chu Xiaoqi a little?
She spoke to the nanny, “Get Chu Xiaoqi and her parents here.”
The nanny nodded and just when she was preparing to go out, Dean Lin hesitated but eventually added, “Invite Miss Shen too.”
“Sure.”
At the kindergarten’s entrance.
When Chu Xiaoqi, Bai Shanshan, and Chu Cimo were summoned, they were a little perplexed.
The three of them followed the nanny and entered the dean’s office.
At the same time, Matriarch Bai was currently conversing with Lin Yi. “Regardless of influential families or major clans, as long as there are enough benefits, there would be no problems. We have been friends for so many years, and I definitely won’t make you look bad. At the very least, you will be able to give others an explanation.”
Lin Yi tensed her lips and silently sighed.
She could only say that everything was a coincidence.
If she wasn’t ill and had to be warded, she would have been able to speak with Sparton clearly before this, and the matter of him selecting Chu Xiaoqi wouldn’t have happened…
Just as she was pondering, Bai Shanshan held Chu Xiaoqi’s hands and entered the office.
Matriarch Bai arrogantly looked over, preparing to wave her hand and issue a large check. But at this moment, her gaze abruptly landed on Chu Xiaoqi who was clad in the kindergarten’s uniform!
Her body trembled as she exclaimed in shock, “Old Second?”
