Chapter 386: Too Excellent and Thus Envied

Shi Ran scored three perfect marks on her final exams, but that was not even the main point.

On the second day of the final exams, the preschool held another advancement exam.

This exam was too important; the school was going to establish a Rocket Class with a total of twenty spots, and all five hundred or so children in the preschool were competing for these twenty spots!

Even Shi Youxuan was a little nervous about this exam. Of course, she wanted her child to get in, but the children nowadays were all basically the same, everyone was very smart, so whether Shi Ran could pass or not was truly uncertain!

When video chatting with Sheng Hanyu in the evening, Shi Ran acted spoiled toward her father: "Daddy, if I get into the Rocket Class, do you have a gift to reward me?"

"I do. What kind of reward do you want?"

Shi Ran: "I want a hug from Daddy."

The little girl was growing up and had more on her mind; she knew how to beat around the bush when she spoke, not saying directly that she wanted her father to come back, but instead taking a roundabout way to achieve her goal.

"Alright," Sheng Hanyu agreed.

"Really?" The little girl was overjoyed. Her father had been abroad for almost two months; although the father and daughter video chatted almost every day, she still hoped her father could be seen every day like before.

Sheng Hanyu always had a good temper and endless patience for his daughter, and he smiled: "Of course it's true. When has Daddy ever lied to you?"

In this advancement exam, Shi Ran passed into the Rocket Class with the top score!

But when grades are too good, it is easy to invite jealousy, and soon, unpleasant voices emerged in the school.

In the parents' group chat, some people started being snide and making sour remarks, saying this exam was unfair, that some parents had money and power, and that there was fraud...

There were also those who said this exam was not public or transparent at all, that it was just for show to let others see, to block everyone's mouths, and to fool fools.

Although no names were mentioned, Shi Youxuan knew exactly who it was aimed at.

Shi Ran's father was the school's true boss; somehow, the parents had found out about this.

If it weren't for Shi Ran getting into the Rocket Class with the top score, everyone would still be very polite when meeting or talking in the group, but as soon as it involved a conflict of interest, they changed their faces immediately.

Shi Youxuan was not a weak person; she would not be pointed at and scolded while pretending to be indifferent!

She immediately proposed in the class group chat to hold the exam again, with each parent contributing one question to show fairness.

But then some parents disagreed, saying their own educational level wasn't high enough to come up with questions for the children's exam!

Immediately, others seconded this, all claiming they couldn't come up with questions.

Even if their educational level wasn't high, could they really be stumped by a preschool-to-primary-school advancement exam?

Those who said they couldn't were basically the same people who had made the most sour remarks just moments ago.

The more incapable people are themselves, the more they like to pick faults in others.

The person who had been making the biggest scene just now was Fang Mingxing's mother; she was the one who caused the most trouble in the group chat usually.

Usually, if she wasn't looking down on the teacher, she was looking down on some parent; no matter what rules the class had, she would pop out to oppose them just to seek attention.

But she didn't easily provoke Shi Youxuan, because Shi Youxuan rarely spoke in the class parents' group, and she really couldn't find any faults in Shi Youxuan.

However, Shi Ran getting first place in the Rocket Class exam this time had stimulated that sensitive and fragile nerve of hers!

Shi Ran and Fang Mingxing were seatmates, but Shi Ran had achieved excellent grades in both the final and advancement exams, while Fang Mingxing had barely passed, and the Rocket Class was completely out of the question.

His mother felt extremely unbalanced in her heart, believing the teacher was biased and that Shi Ran was selfish—what was wrong with teaching her child since they were seatmates?

Even if she couldn't score the same as her, she should at least have brought them into the Rocket Class.

Because she harbored resentment, she contacted several parents similar to her, deliberately stirring up trouble and finding fault in the class group.

The teacher had a headache over such students' parents and simply pretended not to see, staying silent.

But Shi Youxuan did not tolerate such behavior.

After her proposed solution was rejected by a few people, Shi Youxuan tagged Fang Mingxing's mother and asked her how she thought the exam could be fair.

She asked her to come up with a plan she was satisfied with, and as long as everyone dissatisfied with this exam agreed, they would do as she said.

Fang Mingxing's mother immediately started arguing with Shi Youxuan.

She started a voice message to scold her directly, her emotions agitated as if she had suffered some great grievance.

The language was vulgar and unbearable; the gist was that Shi Youxuan looked down on her, that she thought she was noble and amazing just because she had a bit of filthy money—what was so great about her? She was just a mistress who relied on a pretty face!

That woman not only slandered Shi Youxuan as a mistress but also scolded her for keeping a gigolo and cursed Shi Ran as an illegitimate child...

It was not a proper conversation at all; she went straight into the posture of a shrew scolding in the street.

If this woman wasn't taught a good lesson, she would never learn how to speak properly!

Originally, Shi Youxuan had a hundred ways to make this shrew suffer in silence, but she had a second thought: since the conflict was triggered by the exam, she should first see the school's handling opinion.

Her heart softened, but she didn't expect that this softness would bring her quite a bit of trouble.

Shi Youxuan took screenshots of all the chat records and sent them to the Principal, asking him how to handle this situation.

The Principal promised to handle it immediately; less than two minutes after hanging up, the head teacher of Shi Ran's class came out and told her to watch her wording, to speak nicely and not to curse.

Fang Mingxing's mother was in the middle of a heated scolding, and when Shi Youxuan didn't make a sound, she thought she was afraid of her.

She ignored the teacher's warning and continued to scold more and more vigorously, which was completely personal abuse, so the teacher had no choice but to kick her out of the parents' group.

The Principal called Shi Youxuan to tell her that he had already called Fang Mingxing's mother, explained to her clearly that what she did was wrong, and said that Fang Mingxing's mother had already realized her mistake and asked him to convey her apologies.

Shi Youxuan was half-believing; would that woman admit her mistake so easily?

However, since the Principal had already said so, and she had been kicked out of the parents' group, Shi Youxuan was prepared to let it go.

She demanded that the two children's seats must be moved apart, the further the better!

With a parent like that, it was better not to be seatmates.

The Principal stated: "Miss Shi, please rest assured, before you even said anything, the teacher had already moved their seats apart."

Thus, Shi Youxuan planned to just let it go.

It is better to be forgiving when one can; anyway, there were only two more days of school before the holiday, and after the holiday, they wouldn't be classmates in the same class anymore, so it wasn't worth it to lower herself to the level of someone like her.

Except for Sheng Hanyu, Shi Youxuan seemed to be very tolerant toward everyone else.

It was just that her forbearance and tolerance did not earn her the same respect and understanding, but instead poked a hornet's nest.

In the afternoon, when Shi Youxuan was at the school gate preparing to pick up the children, Fang Mingxing's mother suddenly came over, "Bang!"

A brick smashed into the car window, but the glass did not break!

Not only did it not break, there wasn't even a single crack.

However, it gave Shi Youxuan a fright; she had been sitting in the car with her eyes closed to rest, and at the huge noise, she thought something had happened.

It wasn't until Shi Liu cursed, "Crazy," and pushed the door open to go out that she realized someone was looking for trouble.

That woman had used all her strength but failed to smash the glass, and the vibration left her Hegu aching and numb, which only made her angrier.

She plopped down in front of the car and cried out loudly, "Oh! Everyone come and see, they're bullying people! Shi Ran's mother relies on her pretty face to seduce men, and just because I said one thing, she went to the Principal to get my child expelled..."

"Everyone, judge for yourselves, is there anyone in this world as unreasonable as this? Our family is small and humble and can't fight her; for the sake of my child, I have to kneel and apologize to her, yet she still won't let it go!"

Isn't this just telling lies with eyes wide open?
