Chapter 1566: Dark Horse

~8 min read 1,457 words

This year's College Entrance Examination has a crowd of examinees.

The Sheng Family's twins, the Jian Family's triplets, and the Gu Family's Meiyin and Yulong are all taking the College Entrance Examination.

Actually, the Jian Family's triplets should have taken the College Entrance Examination a year early, but because these three girls were held back a year for fighting, they ended up taking it at the same time as everyone else.

During the exam, the parents collectively went to cheer for their children, but Nianyin did not go.

Nianyin felt it was just an exam and there was no need to make such a fuss; besides, she still had to take care of her mother. Her mother was of the utmost importance, and naturally, her son had to come second.

At the beginning, Shi Yuke was worried that Nianyin not coming would affect Yulong's state of mind, so she kept comforting the child.

But Yulong told her it was fine.

It was better that "that woman" didn't come; if she did, it would only affect his mood!

Yulong was too lazy to even call her mother, using "that woman" as a direct substitute.

Lao Qi was abroad and although he couldn't return, he called Yulong to chat for a while, said many encouraging things, and even sent gifts back from abroad for the two children; his intentions were clear.

Nianyin was right in Jiangzhou, yet she didn't say a single word!

……

The College Entrance Examination results came out, and they shocked everyone.

The first dark horse to emerge—Sheng Zihan, he was the Top Scholar of this year's College Entrance Examination.

For a time, applause and praise were constant.

Zihan got carried away, attending parties and giving speeches everywhere, as if he had made himself a celebrity.

He even asked his good friend to be his manager to negotiate appearance fees!

Was the Sheng Family lacking that bit of appearance fee?

Zihan just liked that feeling, the feeling of being surrounded by people and becoming the focus.

Zirui's grades were not much different from his, but he was relatively much more low-key.

The biggest upset to emerge this year, however, was not Zihan, but Jian Yining's three daughters—Jian Youyou, Jian Taotao, and Jian Mengmeng.

Before the College Entrance Examination, in every mock exam, and in all the big and small weekly and monthly tests, the grades of these three children were unsatisfactory, getting worse as time went on.

But their College Entrance Examination scores were exceptionally high!

The three of them were the only three students in their class who met the admission score line for Jiang University.

Those "good students" in the class who once mocked them were slapped hard in the face.

The teacher's attitude toward the triplets did a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn; once the scores came out, she personally went to the Jian Family to share the good news, praising the triplets as if they were three peony flowers, as if she weren't the same person who had previously pointed at their noses and cursed them for never amounting to anything in their lives!

The triplets were not polite.

Youyou reminded the teacher: "You said if the three of us could get into university, you would livestream yourself eating shit; when will that be fulfilled?"

The teacher: "I never said that."

Taotao took out her phone and hit the play button; the teacher's voice came out from it: "Jian Youyou, Jian Taotao, Jian Mengmeng, if people with your study attitude can get into university, I will livestream..."

The evidence was ironclad and could not be denied.

The homeroom teacher's face turned red in a flash.

The triplets were very smug, aggressively asking the teacher when she would fulfill her "promise."

Taotao even pulled out one recording after another, all of which were things the teacher had said in front of the whole class while mocking them and using them as negative examples.

The teacher couldn't sit still and wanted to leave.

At this moment, the phone in Taotao's hand was suddenly snatched away by someone.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Wan'er snatched the phone over, deleted all the recordings in front of the teacher, and personally apologized to the homeroom teacher: "I'm sorry, teacher, it was they who went too far."

"Youyou's mother, please don't say that, I really didn't do well in my usual conduct... Goodbye!"

The homeroom teacher left in a hurry; Wan'er personally saw her to the main gate, and after returning, she said to her three daughters: "Pack your things and go; from now on, I am not your mother, and you are not the Jian Family's daughters."

"If you live well and become successful, I will not go to curry favor with you... By the way, here is your phone back."

Wan'er returned the phone to Taotao and continued: "If you don't believe me, or are afraid I will go back on my word, you can record this. I always keep my word. From now on, even if I am lonely, helpless, precarious, or so poor that I have to beg for food, I will walk around the three of you!"

The triplets knelt before their mother in unison, heads bowed, not saying a word.

From childhood to adulthood, they feared neither heaven nor earth; they only feared their mother not wanting them.

Their mother didn't often say such things, but as long as she did, it meant the matter was very serious!

Youyou spoke up, in a tiny voice: "Mom, please don't be angry, we were wrong."

Taotao: "We were wrong to record what the teacher said, and even more wrong to make the teacher lose face in front of everyone."

Mengmeng: "Mom, please don't drive us away..."

The triplets shed tears as they spoke.

Crying was not because they truly thought they were wrong, but just because they felt aggrieved.

There was also an element of fear, the fear that their mother really didn't want them anymore.

Wan'er didn't really want to drive her daughters away; how could she have the heart to drive away the flesh and blood that came from her own body?

But these children were too worrying; whether their grades were good or bad, they never let their parents worry less.

She could forgive small acts of mischief, but she could not tolerate selfishness, only seeing their own grievances while ignoring the sacrifices of others!

She had to make them remember this day.

"Your understanding of your mistakes is not profound enough; say it again." She closed her eyes and pressed her temples with her hands.

A headache.

The three children looked at each other, but found no answer in each other's eyes.

Then they would just find any "mistake" to admit to, let their mother calm down first, and then figure things out slowly.

Youyou: "We shouldn't have brought our phones to class."

Mother did not open her eyes, maintaining the same posture as before.

This meant that this reason did not hold up; it was wrong!

Taotao: "We shouldn't have recorded audio, we should have recorded video..." Before she could finish her sentence, she was kicked by both Youyou and Mengmeng, so she immediately changed her tune: "We shouldn't have recorded audio, we shouldn't have recorded anything at all."

Wan'er nearly lost her breath.

Are they trying to reach the heavens?

They shouldn't have recorded audio, they should have recorded video?

How is this acknowledging a mistake?

They are trying to anger her to death.

She suspected that she must have done something that angered both heaven and man in her past life to have three such daughters in this one.

Other people's daughters are their parents' little padded jackets, but her daughters are little padded jackets in the middle of June; they are just too much.

The three daughters racked their brains to think of N reasons, but not one could satisfy their mother.

Wan'er opened her eyes and said to the three children: "Get up."

"No!"

"We won't get up."

"Mom, don't send us away..."

Wan'er:...

Fine, since kneeling makes them feel at ease, then they can just keep kneeling.

"You can't think of where you went wrong, so I will tell you: you intentionally scored low at school later, but you didn't actually slack off in your studies; you just wanted to shock everyone at school and slap the faces of those who only care about grades, right?"

The three children nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

That's right, that is exactly what they were thinking.

Originally, they felt a bit aggrieved just now, thinking their mother didn't understand them, but now that they see their mother does understand them, why does she still think they are wrong?
