Chapter 81
“So you, this group of people, are here to crusade against my granddaughter?” Old Patriarch An looked at the people sitting on the sofa . Although the Old Patriarch was old, the genuine head of the family was still him .
Otherwise, An Tongtong would not want to win his favor so wholeheartedly .
Hearing the words of Old Patriarch An, Uncle Yao’s complexion changed . After so many years, he was still the most afraid of Old Patriarch An .
Instead, An Tongtong sitting on one side, twisted both her hands together . Ye Shaohua was his granddaughter? Then what was she? Could it be that these eighteen years, she had only been a joke?
“Dad, let’s take our time with this matter . However, now the Education Bureau is receiving a lot of exposure on the Internet . B Uni will definitely not allow Shaohua to get in . ” Father An said that somewhat remorsefully . “I did not handle all the details, I will think about a way to cover this matter . ”
“Yes ah . Uncle, don’t be too angry,” An Tongtong intimately held Uncle Yao’s arm . “Last time, when I said that my college entrance examination scores were good, you said that you would send me a box of Go pieces . I don’t know if it still counts?”
Uncle Yao had always liked this niece . After all, for the first 18 years, he had loved her dearly as a relative . Her Go was still teached by him in the beginning .
Many people didn’t know, but the Yao family had not represented the country in international compet.i.tion for four times now .
Uncle Yao felt that, with An Tongtong’s talent, she would surely be able to break into the international Go compet.i.tion and regain glory for the Yao Family .
Even if An Tongtong was not his own biological niece, he would not stop being a close relative to her because of this .
“I said it counts, so naturally it counts,” Considering An Tongtong’s feelings, he did not bother himself with Ye Shaohua’s matter again . “This year, Tongtong took the third place in the national examination . She is the pride of An Family and Yao Family . Throughout the circle, who can match her? Brother-in-law, when will you prepare the banquet ah?”
The third place in the national examination, throughout the country there is only one third place each year . To pa.s.s the university exam with this kind of achievement, in ancient time, she would be no different from a minister .
This was indeed worthy of pride .
Mother An was very loving and proud, looking at An Tongtong . She also wanted to reveal the matter of Ye Shaohua .
In fact, she also didn’t want to take care of it . Although she didn’t say it from her mouth, but since Ye Shaohua came back, there were a lot of noisy little bugs around1 . With the contrast of An Tongtong, her heart was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Shaohua .
She would take some time to carefully teach the biological daughter . Just like her elder brother said, she should not break the good foundation .
An Tongtong saw that almost everyone’s eyes were moved to herself . Her face did not show any surprise, but, out the corner of her eyes, she was looking at Ye Shaohua, and the smile on her lips became more brilliant .
“The day after tomorrow is a good day . Should we prepare the banquet for that day?” as Father An said this, his private phone rang .
When he saw it was the princ.i.p.al of B Uni, his complexion changed slightly . Did this matter affect B Uni in the end?
The people around him also saw this number, and their complexion were all not very good .
When the phone call connected, the voice of the President of B Uni couldn’t wait to come through: “The person you want to send to our school is Ye Shaohua?”
His voice seemed very excited . Uncle Yao knew the princ.i.p.al but it was still the first time he heard his excitement .
“Dad, you let the princ.i.p.al get angry, you should speak of this matter well with the princ.i.p.al…” An Tongtong said softly, and when she spoke, she shot a glance at Ye Shaohua .
She thought that the princ.i.p.al was taking his anger out on Ye Shaohua .
But, they didn’t expect that when the princ.i.p.al of B Uni heard An Tongtong’s voice, he excitedly said, “What am I angry about? Mr . An, if I had known that the person you wanted to place into our school was Ye Shaohua, why would I still be hesitating!”
“President, don’t make things difficult . ” Father An thought that something seemed fishy .
“How am I making things difficult ,” the princ.i.p.al interrupted his voice . “You don’t know, the college entrance examination top scorer is not accepting anyone’s phone call . She also directly filled her application to Jing Uni, not giving other schools even a chance! Almost the full score at the college entrance examination, several headmasters overseas are all beating their chest and stamp their feet, but I didn’t expect you to put her in our school! Mr . An, you can rest a.s.sured that we will try our best to cultivate student Ye …”
“Dad, Shaohua… Shaohua seems to have taken the top spot in the national college entrance examination . ” Father An hung up the phone and felt that he was dreaming for a moment .
An Tongtong was pouring tea for father An, and she almost knocked over the cup .
How come?
In the afternoon, she asked her friends to check Ye Shaohua’s family . The other party was the only daughter of a middle-cla.s.s family . She was still in the third school, this school for degenerate . It was obvious that even her undergraduate examination was terrible . How did she become a college entrance examination top scorer in the blink of an eye?
An Tingjun had originally been sitting sloppily on the side, and the corner of his mouth was still raised in a disdainful smile .
He didn’t like this new sister who suddenly came to his family . In fact, the children of the rich and powerful were not as relaxed as others thought . An Tongtong started touching Go pieces from the age of three . When others went to the playground, she was studying piano, learning calligraphy, learning everything .
People like them were destined to have no childhood .
Everyone thought that Ye Shaohua had robbed An Tongtong’s life . But if it was him, G.o.d knows he would rather live the life of an ordinary person .
But now, hearing Father An’s words, the smile on his lips went stiff and, for the first time, he used his eyes to really look at his younger sister .
It seemed that since she went downstairs, the expression on her face had basically not changed . The pair of shallow and clear eyes were extremely tranquil . The 18-year-old female student was obviously only wearing an ordinary white s.h.i.+rt and jeans, but it didn’t cover her clear aura .
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, especially Uncle Yao and his group, they did not know how to describe their embarra.s.sment .
It seemed he couldn’t wait to find a hole to bury himself .
Fortunately, Ye Shaohua’s cell phone suddenly broke the silence . “Grandma, you have to find a place to take a break, don’t move by any means, I will pick you up! No, no, no, how could I dare dislike you, my grandma is so young, anyone who dare say the contrary will have to be made to agree by old me, Ye Shaohua…”
“Grandpa, I will not bother you, I’m going to pick up my grandmother and go home . ” Ye Shaohua finally hung up the phone, and said aloud to grandfather An before leaving through the gate .
This was the first time Ye Shaohua had spoken in such a soft voice, with a light smile on her face and eyes filled with starlight that could fill up the whole sky .
You could see that she was very happy .
Father An suddenly realized that she was not someone who wouldn’t laugh and also not someone naturally cold .
She was just a person, that’s all .
An Tongtong called Ye Shaohua, and Ye Shaohua didn’t pay attention to her .
Old Patriarch An sent her out of the door . When he came back, he looked at father and mother An, his face gloomy . “Shaohua is your daughter . You’re failing well . You didn’t even know how many points she had gotten . Don’t forget, she is the daughter you owe 18 years to . You still think yourself clever for arranging for her to go to B Uni? I’m blus.h.i.+ng in shame for you!”
“Don’t say that I am biased . This child is very sensitive . You two have a look . Has she called you from yesterday to now? You’re on your own . ” Old Patriarch An finally went upstairs and didn’t look at them again .
“Mom, I can really hold Shaohua as my sister . She hates me for stealing her life in riches and honour . She refuses to acknowledge me, I can understand her . ” After half a day, An Tongtong pursed her lips and her tears went straight down . “Actually, I really envy her since, when she was a child, she could have parents to take her out to play, there were many small companions for her, and there was also a dad and mom to dote on her . Although I would hate to part with you and Dad, I think I will return the house to her . I will return to Ye Family today . ”
