Chapter 881 - 881 Knew The Judges

881 Knew The Judges

Yao Rong had actually met with his friend earlier and had even discussed Tangtang’s participation in the Math Olympiad. He didn’t expect that his friend was actually one of the judges.

As soon as his friend, Cai Shu, heard Yao Tang’s name, he was stunned.

“You’re her father?” he had exclaimed in surprise then, immediately jumping from his seat. “She’s the one who got a perfect score! We don’t know how she did it—she’s talented, that one!

Although the results had yet to be announced, they all knew the scores of the top performers.

Seeing that he was also related to the other branch of the Yao Family, he also informed Yao Rong about Yao Ran’s score. After all, it was only a matter of time before the results were revealed and they’d be compared.

She scored 0 points.

Although Yao Rong knew about this, he didn’t want to publicize this information.

If he told her now, then that would mean that all their guests would know about this.

Yao Ran would be nothing but a joke in their eyes.

While they may not be related by blood, she was still his niece. It wouldn’t be right for him to expose her in this manner. It was why he decided to stay silent.

“Our Ranran had always been good with her studies. Not only does she do well in her grades, but she also happens to be one of the top scorers in the Math Olympiad! Just because Yao Tang did well in the preliminary round doesn’t mean she’s guaranteed a good result in her finals!”

Qin Man spat.

“What do you mean?”

Yao Rong furrowed her eyebrows. “Tangtang earned her points for all the hard work she had performed. Besides, the final points still hadn’t been announced yet, so you shouldn’t be spouting any nonsense. A friend of mine who had overseen this competition let me know that she had done quite well.”

He was naturally upset upon hearing her speak ill of his daughter.

She had done excellently, and her results were beyond anyone’s expectations. Despite this, she still criticized her.

He frowned.

“You’re obviously lying! With your looks, how could you even know such a person? The results weren’t even announced yet, so how could he know that her results weren’t bad?”

Qin Man sneered.

She didn’t believe that he’d have a friend who was a judge in the Math Olympiad. With the family’s poor and simple appearance, his friends must all be country bumpkins! Ha! They weren’t even worth mentioning.

Yao Rong gritted his teeth.

They may appear to be simple, but in reality, they were quite financially privileged. How dare this woman come over and insult both their capacity and their daughter?

“Why don’t I just call my friend?”

He pulled out his phone.

Qin Man could go ahead slandering him in front of this many people, but he refused to let her slander his daughter.

Tangtang had always worked so hard to get where she was now. The last thing he wanted was for everyone to misunderstand her intentions and her achievement.

“You can ask all you want, but once we find out the truth, I’ll be waiting for an apology!”

She wasn’t even afraid.

She was certain that her daughter was the most privileged among them. Obviously, Yao Rong was putting on a show, especially with so many people watching. It wouldn’t bode well if she didn’t bit on this opportunity to humiliate them.

She didn’t believe that he knew one of the judges there.

However, at that moment, Yao Ran quickly tugged on her mother’s sleeve. Her heart raced in her chest. “Why don’t we forget about it?” she asked quickly. “We’re supposed to be celebrating Grandma’s birthday today. It wouldn’t look good if this matter goes out of hand.”

Actually, she was afraid of the results.

After all, she hadn’t been able to finish her exam that day, so she wasn’t confident about the results that she has yet to receive.
