Qiao Qing, “…”

Mu Jinghang, “…”

Luo Chen quickly took out his phone and wrote it down. Then, he placed the clothes on the couch, “Qingqing, did you know that the exam scores have been posted? Six people from our high school pa.s.sed the bar to apply to UCC.”

Then, he winked proudly, “I'm the sixth one!”

Mu Jinghang shook his head and chuckled, “The education resources here sure are lacking. Out of an entire high school, only six people made it.”

Luo Chen argued, “You think this is the Capital City? There's never been a lot of students who can get into UCC from the City of Brisk.”

Then, he turned back to Qiao Qing, “You know, on my way here, there were lots of posters that proudly displayed your score. Even the City of Brisk TV station is reporting about you. You're now the face of the City of Brisk High School!”

Qiao Qing didn't express anything about that. She remembered something and asked, “How did Xiyan do?”

Luo Chen answered, “Oh, she did really well this time. She placed third in the whole school, 675!”

Qiao Qing sighed in relief.

Luo Chen continued, “Wait, Qingqing, did you read our high school group chat? Tomorrow night, we have a cla.s.s gathering and dinner. It's at Qing Yun Hotel. Are you going?”

Jun Yexuan looked over to Qiao Qing when he heard this. Qiao Qing played with her phone and said calmly, “Yes.”

The corner of Jun Yexuan's lips curled up. He ordered Mu Jinghang to do something and something cold flashed beneath his eyes.

Since someone wanted to play, then he will play. It didn't matter whether or not that person was Qiao Qing's relative.

Inside the east house of the Qiao manor.

Qiao Nian curled up in her blanket. Abusing herself, she scrolled on her phone crazily and watched TV continuously. The look in her eyes was frigid.

When the TV reporter said, “Today, our news reporter has plans to interview the number one scholar, who scored full marks on the university entrance exam. We are hoping to pa.s.s on some tips and tricks to our viewers”, Qiao Nian threw out her phone.

Her fingers clenched at her blanket. She was seemingly smiling and also crying. Like a delirious woman, she said, “Interview? Wouldn't it be more fun if the interview happens in the hotel? This time, I'll make sure your reputation is in pieces!”

Then, she hopped off the bed, picked up her phone, and dialed Xu Yingying's number.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next night.

Qiao Qing and Luo Chen met up at the hotel and when they stepped into the reserved room, colorful silly strings sprayed all over them.

Hou Ziwen stood on a chair and howled, “Welcome our scholars!”

Everyone clapped as they entered. Qiao Nian, who sat in a corner was shaking from jealousy. She did her best to not express herself and applauded alongside everyone else.

Jiang Yi couldn't peel his eyes off Qiao Qing. He was feeling extremely salty.

Remembering all the things he had said when he broke off their engagement, he felt like an embarra.s.sment.

Now, he was the one who wasn't good enough for her.

With third young master Jun and Feng Heng surrounding her, there was no way he could salvage their relations.h.i.+p.

“***, can't you find another method to celebrate us!” Luo Chen laughed and helped Qiao Qing pick off the silly strings.

As he cleaned, he asked, “Where's Bro Yang, isn't he coming?”

Hou Ziwen said, “That old fella messaged us just now. He said he's attending an international conference and cannot get here in time. He said to have fun. I bet he chickened out because we prank him so much!”

Luo Chen suddenly remembered what Yang Lianfeng said when he gave Qiao Qing her birthday gift. He knew then that Mr. Yang wasn't lying.

Just then, the server came in with several bottles of alcohol. Lin Xiyan ran in at that moment as well, her face was flushed red.

Hou Zibin was the life of the party after all. He shouted at Lin Xiyan, “The three UCC students from our cla.s.s are all here! After today, they will no longer be ours to keep! Today, n.o.body is allowed to leave until they're collapsed drunk! All three of you need to partic.i.p.ate!”

At the same time, outside the hotel.

When Jun Yexuan arrived, he stared at the “Qing” character that was in the hotel name. His face darkened.
