Sun Shanshan seemed modest, but she was actually very confident inside.
She had always ranked within the top ten in her class, and while there hadn’t been a test this semester yet, she had worked very hard, never missing an extra tutoring class. Even her tutors said she had a high aptitude and was bound to make a big splash in the math competition.
She behaved so modestly in front of Xiao Zhou to create a stark contrast with Lin Wu’s high-profile demeanor.
A full pot is silent, but a half pot sloshes.
Obviously.
Lin Wu was that half pot.
Xiao Zhou smiled and said, “Shan Shan, you’re being too modest. Who in our courtyard doesn’t know that you excel academically and are at the top of your class? That’s why you’re bound to secure a guaranteed admission slot to Capital University from this competition.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhou added, “At that time, you’ll be the first person from our courtyard to be guaranteed admission to Capital University!”
Our courtyard had had guaranteed admissions before.
But they were only to ordinary key universities.
Capital University was one of the top ten international universities, and ordinary people couldn’t dream of securing a guaranteed admission slot there!
If Sun Shanshan managed to secure a guaranteed admission slot, it would be an immense honor.
The kind that would get you on the front page of the Qing City newspaper.
Lin Wu really couldn’t compete with Sun Shanshan.
A village girl from the countryside, who didn’t even fully recognize the 26 letters of the alphabet, let alone competing in a math competition or even passing the entrance exam for transfer students at Qingzhong School was as hard as reaching the sky.
It was a mystery where Lin Wu found such confidence!
With that thought.
Xiao Zhou glanced at Lin Wu.
What use is being pretty?
What use is being sly?
In this society.
What matters most is education and ability.
Someone like Lin Wu will probably struggle to find a decent job after graduation.
In the end, they might only end up waiting tables or sweeping floors.
With no prospects for life.
With a gentle tone, Sun Shanshan said, “Then I’ll borrow Aunt Xiao Zhou’s auspicious words and do my best.”
Xiao Zhou nodded, “I’m looking forward to hearing good news from both of you sisters.”
“Sure,” Sun Shanshan said and continued, “Aunt Xiao Zhou, my cousin and I will head back now.”
“Go ahead.”
Watching Sun Shanshan’s retreating figure, Xiao Zhou said enviously, “Gui Mei really hit the jackpot with her daughter!”
If she had a daughter as outstanding as Sun Shanshan, she would do anything for her.
Xiao Zhou’s voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough for Sun Shanshan to hear.
The corners of her mouth tilted upward slightly.
The sense of superiority in her eyes almost spilled out.
Before long, they reached the third floor.
With an indifferent tone, Lin Wu said, “I’ll head back first.”
Sun Shanshan nodded.
Lin Wu turned and entered her apartment.
Watching the closed door, Sun Shanshan snorted softly.
Look at Lin Wu’s aloofness.
She wondered what Lin Wu had to be so proud of!
After returning home, Lin Wu found the math textbook for the senior year and began reviewing her coursework.
Luckily, she was a true scholarly powerhouse with a solid foundation. Although she hadn’t touched many concepts in a while, revisiting them now didn’t feel unfamiliar.
So, she sat in the hammock chair on the balcony.
Crossing her legs.
The swinging chair did not disrupt her line of sight, sunlight shone through the window casting a shadow on her jade-like profile, and the room was so quiet the only sound was the flipping of pages.
Perhaps this was what they meant by peaceful times.
After a while, Lin Bingqiang came out of the room and said with a smile, “Xiao Wu, I need to go out for a bit. Jelly is playing downstairs with friends. Remember to call him back in time to do his homework.”
“Alright, Uncle,” she replied.
——
At the same time.
Sun Shanshan also got home.
As soon as she opened the door, Lin Guimei greeted her with a smile, “Shan Shan, I heard from your teachers that you have a math competition the day after tomorrow, is that right?”
“Yes.” Sun Shanshan nodded.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Lin Guimei continued, “How many students from your class are participating this time?”
“Four or five from each class,” Sun Shanshan replied.
Hearing this, Lin Guimei became very excited.
Only four or five people per class were selected, and Sun Shanshan had received the notification, which spoke volumes about her daughter’s excellence.
“Shan Shan, you’re really giving me face this time!” Lin Guimei exclaimed.
And it was no small feat!
Upon saying this, Lin Guimei recounted, “Your grandmother told me that even Wang Xiaojun didn’t receive the notice!”
Wang Xiaojun was Sun Shanshan’s Aunt Sun Xianghong’s son.
Sun Xianghong’s husband, Wang Haitao, was a chemistry teacher at Qingzhong School.
Their son was very promising and had lived up to expectations by being admitted to Qingzhong School.
But he fell short when compared to Sun Shanshan.
Although Lin Guimei and Sun Xianghong were sisters-in-law, Sun Xianghong always looked down on her and the two always competed—comparing husbands, jobs, children…
Sun Xianghong always looked down on her sister-in-law from the countryside, but so what?
Her daughter was still more outstanding than Wang Xiaojun!
