Chapter 129: Do You Want To Take The Test Too?

She raised her voice slightly. “However, there are many things about Sister that we don’t know. Just like how we thought that she would lead a miserable life after leaving the Qiao family and would quickly be unable to take it anymore and come back to look for us. Not only did Sister not come back in the end but she even found a very rich man…”

After she finished speaking, she realized that this did not seem to be appropriate to talk about, so she quickly continued, “So don’t be so strict with Sister. Sister has been hiding her talents well and will definitely achieve good results in this examination. Give her a chance and let her compete with Qing Qing, alright?”

Xu Mei instantly calmed down. She knew that she had lost her composure just now. What she said did not match Qiao Rou’s words. Fortunately, Rou Rou was smart and quick-witted. She was able to salvage the situation instantly.

“That’s right. I was so worried about Qiao Xi losing the competition that I forgot it’s impossible for her to lose with her strength.” Xu Mei looked at the dean with an embarrassed expression. “Dean, you can understand, right? As parents, we always think of worst-case scenarios. We’re afraid that our child will be hurt in the slightest. I only spoke nonsense because I was too worried about Qiao Xi. I hope you don’t mind.”

Although the dean found it strange, he also knew that rich people had a lot of messy situations to deal with. He did not want to get involved, so he nodded perfunctorily. “Yes, yes, yes, I understand.”

Qiao Rou shifted her eyes and said to Xu Mei in a low voice, “Mom, don’t worry about my sister. I’m good friends with Wang Qing. If my sister really loses the bet, I’ll tell Wang Qing to let the matter go. So don’t worry, my sister won’t really kneel down and apologize. Of course, I’m talking about the possibility of her losing. If my sister really loses the bet, that’s a good thing too. My sister is too arrogant. It’ll be good for her to lose the bet and learn a lesson. That way, she’ll know that there’s always someone better than her.”

Xu Mei patted Qiao Rou’s hand. “Rou Rou, you’re so thoughtful.”

Of course, even though she agreed, she still felt that Qiao Xi was an idiot looking for trouble. She was really a good-for-nothing who could only bring shame to the Qiao family!

The dean sent the two of them away with a complicated expression. Before he left, he could even hear Xu Mei say to Qiao Rou, “After this matter is over, have Qiao Xi leave Li City University. Is someone like her worthy of teaching at Li City University? Don’t lead her astray! That useless piece of trash will only bring shame to the Qiao family.”

The dean was speechless. For the first time, he wondered if there was something wrong with the mother and daughter’s brains. Qiao Xi was a teacher specially recruited by their university. She obviously had the ability, so how could she not be qualified to teach at Li City University? Moreover, Class 3, which was the class she taught, had been very obedient recently. Many teachers gave him feedback, saying that the students in Class 3 were a lot more responsive now. They listened well in class and even took the initiative to ask them questions.

This obviously showed that Qiao Xi was absolutely skilled in teaching students.

…

When Qiao Xi heard from the dean, she was quite surprised. She had always been carefree in the university, and the dean had always turned a blind eye to her. She did not know why he called her over this time.

After hearing the dean’s question, Qiao Xi touched her chin. “So, it was my younger sister who told you that my English results are very good and suggested that I take the test as well?”

The dean nodded. Of course, after the incident with Qiao Rou and Xu Mei, he did not believe what the two of them said anymore.

“Teacher Qiao, don’t be too nervous. It’s okay if you don’t agree. I’m just casually asking.”

“It’s fine. It’s just a test anyway. Maybe if they know that I’m taking the test, the students in my class can relax. Otherwise, they’ll all have tense expressions as though the sky is collapsing.”

The dean did not expect Qiao Xi to really agree. He confirmed in disbelief, asking, “Teacher Qiao, have you thought it through? You really want to take the test?” He was just short of telling Qiao Xi that her younger sister and stepmother wanted to dig a hole for her. He wanted to warn her not to fall for their tricks.

Qiao Xi thought it was funny and laughed out loud. “Yes, I’ve thought it through. Dean, you can go ahead and make the arrangements. I’ll be taking the test this afternoon.”

Qiao Rou had taken the initiative to make a move on her. There was no reason why she should not play along.

…

The test began at two in the afternoon and ended at four.

Qiao Xi glanced at the paper and finished it as soon as possible. She glanced at the time and noticed that there was still over an hour left. She did not want to continue wasting time here, so she handed in the paper in advance.

The students in the same venue as her instantly broke into an uproar.
