Chapter 161: Celebrating With Fireworks
Once Ye Qiao finished her sentence, the parents around her sighed pitifully.
“She always acted so generously and kindly, but deep down, she must’ve hated this child!”
“Exactly. Ye Qiao looks so much better than Ye Zhenzhen. Look at her pretty face!”
Hearing the discussion, Qin Lan felt even angrier. She was so mad that she could not find the words to express her frustration!
This little b*tch had even learned to frame her!
“Qin Lan, I learned all of this from you.” Ye Qiao guessed her thoughts and whispered. Then, she ran away with teary eyes, leaving Qin Lan behind to be reprimanded by all the other parents.
Not everyone wanted to fawn over the wife of the deputy mayor. Some parents from more well-off families wanted to get into her favor.

After seeing the results, the students returned to their classrooms to get their result slip.
Ye Zhenzhen never appeared. Meanwhile, the teacher who never believed that Ye Qiao could get into J University apologized to Ye Qiao in front of the whole class.
“Please don’t apologize to me! I’m not so petty!” Ye Qiao stood up and said.
The teacher smiled while all the students were looking at Ye Qiao. She was now their idol. Their young and immature faces made her feel a little moved.
Meanwhile, she sighed inside her heart. How lucky was she to get another chance to return to her best year, work hard, and love passionately! How wonderful!
Even after the class was dismissed, Ye Zhenzhen did not appear. She was too embarrassed to show up!
***
The news of Ye Qiao’s achievement was already spread throughout the military neighborhood by Beichi and Dafei!
Old Master Ye paced around the garden as he was too excited to remain seated. Xiao Dong was sitting next to him, and Old Master Ye kept glancing at the gun in his pocket.
“Xiao Dong, pass me the gun! I need to celebrate!” In the olden days, the military had a tradition of celebratory gunfire.
“Old Master Ye, this isn’t allowed! Times have changed!” Xiao Dong said quickly. The ammunition depot recorded every single bullet of his!
Old Master Ye folded his hands behind his back and paced around. “Go… Go get me some fireworks! Get the loudest ones! Those that are even louder than guns! What are you waiting for! Go!”
“Yes!” Xiao Dong ran out.

Once Ye Qiao entered the mansion, Old Master Ye welcomed her, “Qiao Qiao, what an achievement! You kept your promise! My granddaughter is no joke!”
Seeing her grandfather act as gleefully as a child, Ye Qiao was amused. She presented her results slip to him. He was so excited that his hands were trembling.
“Grandpa, your granddaughter is not to be messed with!” She smiled and continued, “But Zhenzhen is doomed. Her score is only good enough for a second-tier university, yet Auntie Qin applied for J University for all of her choices. Sigh…”
Old Master Ye’s mood was ruined upon hearing Qin Lan’s name. If it were Ye Zhenzhen who scored the top today, he would not have been this happy.
“She ruined Zhenzhen!” He said angrily.
After a short while, Xiao Dong returned with a long chain of firecrackers. It was a few meters long. He was biting a cigarette while holding a firework.
“Grandpa! That’s really dangerous! Don’t burn your hand!”
“I used to work for the artillery… do you think I would be afraid of this toy?!” Old Master Ye was like a naughty child. He ignited the fuse, and the rocket was fired. It exploded twice in the air.
This was also known as “rise high” in older generations.
Outside the garden, Xiao Dong ignited some firecrackers too.
In addition to the noise from the fireworks, the crackers made it seem like someone in the family was getting married!
