Chapter 128: Sister Has Good English
w.a.n.g Qing only dared to say that she would take first place because Qiao Rou would not be partic.i.p.ating in the English test this time.
In the past, Qiao Rou always came in first while w.a.n.g Qing came in second.
At the Academic Affairs Bureau, Qiao Rou was applying for leave with Xu Mei. The dean said with a smile, “It’s alright if you don’t take the test this one time. You’ve always been doing very well. It’s just a pity that you won’t be able to take it due to your health issues. The winner this time will be recommended for the International Real-time Translation Compet.i.tion.”
Qiao Rou’s face froze for a moment, and she sighed. “I can’t help it. It’s my fault that my body is too weak.” She only chose to take leave and not partic.i.p.ate in the test because she heard that the winner this time would be selected to go for the compet.i.tion. In the past, the English tests were always conducted by others, so she could maintain her rank of first place. However, due to the selection for the compet.i.tion, the test this time would be very strict. She would not have a chance to cheat, so she gave up on the idea and pretended to be sick.
However…
She smiled lightly. “Even though I can’t take the test, my sister should be able to. Do you remember Qiao Xi?”
The dean nodded. “Of course. She’s Teacher Qiao from the fashion design department. I remember that she became a special teacher in the university at a young age. It’s just that she appears and disappears unpredictably in the university and doesn’t have much time to interact with others.”
Qiao Rou said, “Yes, my sister’s results are very good. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become a teacher in the university even though we’re the same age. If there are no outstanding students from the test this time around, you can consider recommending my sister, Dean. She’s so outstanding, so she’ll definitely be able to bring back honor for the university during the international compet.i.tion.”
The dean’s eyes lit up. That was right! He was worried about what to do since Qiao Rou was applying for leave and would not be going to the international compet.i.tion. Qiao Xi and Qiao Rou were about the same age. If Qiao Xi could partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion…
Seeing that the dean was interested, Qiao Rou added, “But we can’t give her special treatment just because she’s a teacher. Why don’t we do this instead? You can have her take the test…”
The dean hesitated for a moment. “I have to discuss this with Teacher Qiao Xi and see if she’s willing.” Teachers were different from students. If Qiao Xi did not agree, he could not force her to agree.
After saying that, he thought of something else. “However, I just heard that Qiao Xi’s students want to compete with w.a.n.g Qing on the English test. The stakes are quite high. Something about kneeling, kowtowing, and calling out ‘Daddy’. Sigh, this is why the university doesn’t want to hire teachers who are too young. They’re rash and don’t consider the consequences when they do things.”
“What?!”
Xu Mei widened her eyes in shock. “You’re saying that b*tch Qiao Xi wants to compete with w.a.n.g Qing in English?!”
The dean had a good impression of Xu Mei and thought that she was an elegant n.o.blewoman. However, her yell surprised him. He looked at Xu Mei in a daze, not knowing how to react. Was… she really a n.o.blewoman? How was she n.o.ble? She was simply like a tigress who wanted to eat someone.
He was stunned by Xu Mei’s sudden change. He stammered, “Y-Yes, I think it’s true that they’re competing on the English test.”
“That piece of trash! It’s fine that she wants to compete with others, but the penalty if she loses is that she’ll have to kowtow. If that happens, won’t it be embarra.s.sing for our Qiao family? The Qiao family has already been implicated by her. This b*tch!” Xu Mei gnashed her teeth in anger. “If I had known she was so troublesome, I would’ve married her off long ago. Things wouldn’t have turned out this way!”
The dean: “…”
What was going on? Didn’t Qiao Rou just say that Teacher Qiao Xi’s results were good? Why was Madam Xu talking about Qiao Xi like she was a good-for-nothing? Who was right here?
The dean opened his mouth and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere when he heard Xu Mei say sinisterly, “Why isn’t this b*tch dead yet? Why is she always getting in the way? Doesn’t she feel guilty that the Qiao family has been implicated by her? She even has the cheek to swagger to university. If I were her, I would’ve killed myself to apologize!”
Xu Mei was extremely irritable today. When she thought about how Qiao Rou’s visit to Longwan Residential was ruined by Qiao Xi, she wished for nothing more than to skin Qiao Xi alive. If it were not for Qiao Xi, Qiao Rou would be the Qiao family’s true eldest daughter. She would not be called an illegitimate daughter by others, much less offend Mrs. Gu!
She pushed all the blame to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Rou knew that her mother was angry, but she did not expect her to suddenly flare up. Seeing that the dean’s expression was not good, she quickly pulled Xu Mei’s arm. “Mom, I know you’re worried about my sister.”
