Chapter 234 - 229: The Second Daughter Born Illegally
"Why are you speaking so intermittently today? What exactly is going on? Why would the vice principal of First High School call you? What good news did he have for you?" Zhong Meifen asked, slightly furrowing her brow.
The mere thought of the vice principal reminded her of the exorbitant sponsorship fees they paid for their thankless wolf Ye Qiu, who not only lacked gratitude but had also developed a vain and boastful character prone to lying and stealing while living in the countryside. How great a sin did she commit to have birthed such a daughter?
Remembering the pain she endured during childbirth and the disdain her in-laws showed her because of it, Zhong Meifen deeply felt it was so unfair to herself.
However, fortunately, she still had Ye Xia and Ye Dong. One was her pride, not only talented and beautiful but also sensible -- she would surely make a great future for herself. The other strengthened her position in the family, preventing the mother-in-law from shouting at her and who was also very smart; these two children were her future reliance.
Ye Hai looked at his wife with a complex expression, took a deep breath, and his face gradually showed a hint of joy: "The vice principal just called to say that Ye Qiu was this year’s top scorer in science."
"Who? Ye Qiu? She’s the top scorer in science?" Zhong Meifen was equally stunned, "Didn’t she go back to the countryside?"
"I’m not sure, but the principal of First High School wouldn’t make a wrong call. Could it be that Ye Qiu didn’t go back and has been studying at First High School?" Ye Hai speculated.
"But wasn’t she only admitted to First High School because of the sponsorship fee? With her academic performance, how could she become the top scorer in science? Could it be a case of mistaken identity?" Zhong Meifen asked skeptically.
Hearing his wife say this, Ye Hai became dubious once again. Right! Could Ye Qiu really become the top scorer? He would believe it if it were Ye Xia last year, but Ye Qiu?
"I’ll search online." Ye Hai immediately searched using his smartphone, but the news about this year’s top scorer wasn’t published yet; he only found photos of last year’s top scorer, making him further skeptical. Perhaps the vice principal really made a mistake?
