Zhuang Jie couldn’t help but laugh at Zhuang Xian’s words. It was as if she had just heard a funny joke. She said, “You? A person from the orphanage wants to tutor An Ye in her studies at Saint Capital University? Don’t be funny, alright? Do you know what Saint Capital University is? Do you know where the gate of the University is?”
Zhuang Jie finally found an opportunity to mock Zhuang Xian.
“Enough!” Lin En stopped her. “A person’s family background is not a reason for you to laugh at her.”
Was Zhuang Jie mocking Zhuang Xian?
No, she was stabbing a knife into her heart. Lin En’s heart ached at the thought of her precious daughter suffering so much and not being able to receive a better education.
Zhuang Xian patted Lin En’s hand, feeling touched by how protective she was of her.
She didn’t care what others thought of her or what they said about her, but she couldn’t accept the people she cared about being sad for her!
“How do you know I don’t understand? I have acceptance letters from several famous universities in the country. I know more than you can imagine!”
Looking at Zhuang Xian’s calm expression, Zhuang Jie felt her throat go dry.
This woman couldn’t be telling the truth, right?
No, she was born in an orphanage. How could she have the chance to receive a high-end education? Zhuang Jie convinced herself.
“Hmph, who doesn’t know how to brag! Who knows if you’re lying or not. ” Zhuang Jie said sarcastically.
Seeing the two of them facing each other, An Ye quickly ran out to be the peacemaker. “Alright, it’s a good thing that someone is helping! Don’t say that about her.” She looked at Zhuang Xian and smiled gently. “Then, let’s find a place to talk about it?”
Just like Zhuang Jie, she did not believe Zhuang Xian’s words at all and was even waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
…
On the way home, Lin En held onto Zhuang Xian’s hand and said with a pained tone, “Good child, mother knows that you’ve had a hard time all these years! Tell me which university you want to go to and I’ll arrange it for you.”
She felt that Zhuang Xian was just bluffing Zhuang Jie and An Ye. How could this child have an admission letter from a famous university?
When Zhuang Xian heard this, she knew that Lin En had misunderstood and quickly explained,” Mom! I wasn’t lying just now. There are a few universities that have offered me admission. I just haven’t thought about where to go!”
Lin En grabbed her hand and said in surprise, “Really?”
Zhuang Hang also looked at her. “Weren’t you lying to them?”
Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. “Do I look like the kind of person who would lie? Besides, why would I lie to them? Am I not afraid of being slapped in the face?”
As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed them the photos of the acceptance letters sent to her by East China University, Capital University, and Saint Capital University.
The evidence was in front of them, and Lin En’s mouth was wide open in shock. “My God, baby! How did you do it? How can you be so outstanding! Mom is about to cry!”
Zhuang Xian held Lin En’s hand and explained slowly, “My grades were already very good when I was in the orphanage. I often represented City H in some domestic quiz competitions. It’s probably because my grades were too good that they wanted me to go to their school.”
As soon as she said that she was participating in the competition, Zhuang Hang believed her. After all, these things could be found on the internet. There was no need to lie about this.
It was just that when Lin En and Zhuang Ming went to the orphanage, they had not paid much attention to this aspect. Moreover, Zhuang Xian was a low-key person, so they overlooked this point. Now that Zhuang Xian had brought it up, Lin En also thought about it.
“I almost forgot. Director Zhang told me and your father that Xian’s grades are pretty good!”
Lin En looked at Hang beside her, her eyes were excited. “It’s more than just ‘not bad,’ my precious daughter is an invisible and low-key super university nerd!”
Lin En’s excitement did not last long. As soon as she thought about how much effort Zhuang Xian had put behind all these outstanding achievements, her heart ached.
As she thought of this, she hugged Zhuang Xian tightly. “Mommy’s good girl! It’s been hard on you all these years. ”
Zhuang Xian’s actual situation was not as difficult as Lin en had thought. The old man had been helping her all this time, and she was also an extremely smart person. It was not difficult for her to get such good results.
However, she had too many disguises on her, and she couldn’t tell them anything else yet, so she could only choose to keep her mouth shut.
Coming out of Lin En’s arms, Zhuang Xian said to her in a serious tone, “It’s the luckiest thing in my life to have met you. Thank you, Mom!”
