Chapter Thirty-Eight: This is what filial piety is, this is what repaying the kindness of raising and nurturing is!
When I got home, I developed a fever.
I fell seriously ill.
I didn't recover much until the day the results came out.
Mu Xi came to my house and said she wanted to check my grades with me.
We sat in front of the computer.
"Check mine first." Mu Xi said nervously, "You check mine for me."
I took her exam admission ticket and entered it on the webpage.
"How is it?!" Mu Xi covered her face with her hands.
When the results came out, I smiled: "688".
"Huh?" Mu Xi was taken aback.
"660." I smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
"It's ten points higher than I expected! Thank you so much for grading!" Mu Xi was overjoyed and immediately sent a message to her uncle and the others.
I entered my exam admission ticket number on the webpage.
Mu Xi leaned closer: "How was it?"
I paused for a moment: "It looks locked?"
Mu Xi's eyes widened: "Really! They've locked in their relationship?"
I nodded.
"Ahhh!" She was even more excited than me: "Oh my god!"
At that moment, all my emotions came rushing at me.
From the past life, and from this life.
I couldn't help but cry my eyes out.
"Don't cry, don't cry," Mu Xi comforted me, hugging me.
My mom came in, carrying a bag of fruit: "What's wrong with you two?"
"Auntie, Yan Yan got a lock!" Mu Xi said happily.
"Really?" My mom came over, and when she saw the display on the screen, her eyes immediately filled with tears.
My mom put down the fruit plate and hugged me: "Yan Yan, you're amazing!"
"Mom, thank you." I choked up. "Thank you for your support."
"Silly child, why are you saying all this?" My mom wiped away her tears. "I have to post this on WeChat Moments! To let those people from before provoke me every day!"
I did not stop them.
This honor also belongs to her.
"Yan Yan, are you going to Tsinghua or Peking University?" Mu Xi asked.
I shook my head.
"With such good grades, why aren't you going to Tsinghua or Peking University?" Mu Xi asked in surprise.
"I never intended to go to Tsinghua or Peking University from the very beginning," I explained.
Although I will go to Xinjing City, I have no intention of applying to Tsinghua or Peking University.
"Then Auntie..." Mu Xi was afraid my mother wouldn't agree.
My mom turned around and said, "Yan Yan, it doesn't matter where you want to go for the exam, Mom will support you!"
"Yeah." I nodded.
At that moment, Lao Shen also called.
I accepted it.
"Shen Yan, how did you do on the exam?" Old Shen seemed somewhat expectant.
"Not good," I said casually, "only a little over four hundred points."
"What did you say?!" Old Shen exclaimed in shock. "How did you do on the test? Didn't you get very high scores in your previous mock exams?"
"So you actually cared about my grades?" I sneered.
I had already guessed that it was Yoo Seung-yeon who told him.
"You're such a disappointment!" Old Shen said angrily. "Shengyan didn't even have a tutor, and she still got over 400 points on the test! Honestly, don't ever say you're my daughter again, it's embarrassing!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The three of us, sitting in front of the computer, looked at each other, and then we all laughed.
"Liu Shengyan only scored a little over 400 points, and he's already so proud of himself. What would he do if he knew your real score?" Mu Xi couldn't figure it out.
"They'll go out and beat drums and gongs, putting on a show for everyone," my mother mocked.
She had already blocked Lao Shen.
Many people called to congratulate me.
She got up and went outside to answer the phone.
Mu Xi looked at me seriously: "Yan Yan, can you tell me which university you want to go to?"
"The University of Traditional Chinese Medicine," I replied.
Mu Xi asked in surprise, "Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
I nodded: "Actually, the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a new project this year, which aims to cultivate outstanding TCM talents. Therefore, many experienced professors will take on only one student and teach them one-on-one."
"So that's why you want to go?" Mu Xi asked, puzzled. "You've never mentioned it before."
Actually, I only learned these things when I went to Xinjing City in my previous life.
I chose a university specializing in traditional Chinese medicine because I discovered that I was very interested in it.
Moreover, an old professor in my past life praised me, saying that I have talent.
Therefore, I don't want to have any regrets in this life.
"I only heard the news recently," I said with a faint smile.
"Then I'll have to call you Dr. Shen," Mu Xi said with a grin.
"You're calling that way way too early." I smiled, full of hope for the future.
After one hour.
The news that my score was locked has basically spread.
A teacher from the school called.
Because my mother said I wasn't well yet, they didn't come to bother me.
Old Shen made another phone call.
"Yan Yan, how could you joke like that with your father? You silly child!" Old Shen's tone suddenly became very doting: "Come over tonight, and I'll cook for you myself."
“I’ve been sick for over half a month and I’m still not better.” I coldly refused, “You haven’t even asked about me for the past half month. Now that you know about my results and that I’ve made a name for myself, you suddenly show up. Old Shen, you really have a thick skin.”
"Your mother blocked me, how was I supposed to know you were sick?" Old Shen accused.
"My mom blocked you, but did I block you?" I asked coldly. "Don't think I don't know. You personally picked up and dropped off Liu Shengyan for her college entrance exam, but you didn't say a single word of concern to me. Lao Shen, do you think I don't know?"
Thinking back, whether he was faking it or not, he always spoiled me. Now that he's given that love to other children, I still feel resentful.
But I wouldn't care too much.
There are just some things I need to make clear to him.
"Shen Yan, you can't blame me. If your mother hadn't urged you to cut ties with me, why would I have treated you like this?" Old Shen shifted the blame to my mother again.
I sneered: "So, what I do is none of your business. Even if nothing happens, I won't go to your place again. You just want to drag me over to save face for you. Let me tell you, after I submit my college application, I'll change my name. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other except for business."
"You, you dare!" Old Shen was furious.
I hung up the phone.
-
the next day.
The principal called to ask if I was home.
I guessed it was probably someone from the admissions office.
“Principal, please ask them to go back. They don’t need to come back.” I explained, “I already have a school I like, and no matter what they say or what conditions they offer, I won’t go.”
The principal asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to Tsinghua or Peking University?"
"I'm not going," I said coolly. "Please don't tell anyone, Principal."
The principal said, "But your grades..."
"Principal, my grades are just to prove to everyone that I'm not inferior to anyone. As for which school I apply to, that's my personal choice, and I hope you won't interfere. Thank you." I hung up the phone calmly.
However, I didn't expect that the news that I wasn't applying to Tsinghua or Peking University would still get out. Others were surprised but didn't interfere, but Lao Shen was different.
He came directly to us.
"Han Li, what kind of mother are you? You actually let Shen Yan do whatever she wants. That's Tsinghua and Peking University, the dream of so many people. I don't think you can be a good mother. From today onwards, Shen Yan has nothing to do with you. I'll take care of her!" Old Shen said angrily.
He didn't come alone; he brought two bodyguards with him.
"Go and bring the young lady out," he said coldly.
If Shen Yan doesn't go to Tsinghua or Peking University, she won't be able to marry Gu Heng smoothly.
He absolutely cannot allow anyone to hinder him or the company.
Shen Yan is his child, so she must obey his arrangements.
This is what filial piety is all about, this is what it means to repay the kindness of being raised!
