Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Fang Ran saw that the person who opened the door was Huo Xuan, she was also shocked. Just now, when the first time she rang the doorbell and no one opened the door, she had thought that she would have to wait at the door for a few more hours. She didn’t expect Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu to return so early today.
She raised her hand and greeted Huo Xuan. Fang Ran was afraid that if the man was angry, he would close the door immediately. She walked around Huo Xuan and walked straight into the house.
The moment she entered, the smell of delicious food assaulted her senses, making Fang Ran’s stomach rumble with hunger. “What a delicious smell. Looks like I’ll be blessed tonight…”!!
Seeing how friendly Fang Ran was, Huo Xuan glanced at her and said coldly, “You won’t be able to eat here tonight. If you want to eat, think of a way yourself.”
When Fang Ran heard this, she cursed in her heart. She lowered her head in grievance. Before she could explain, she suddenly saw Chen Man and Mo Zhu sitting in the dining room from the corner of her eye. Her expression changed and she immediately had an idea.
“I didn’t expect Auntie to be here either. Auntie Chen, I had participated in a test for my long-distance run in physical education class today and I’m exhausted. Can you allow me to stay for dinner?”
She quickly walked to Chen Man’s side and Fang Ran had a fawning smile on her face. Seeing that Chen Man was cold and silent, she quickly looked at Mo Zhu. “Sister, you’re a really kind person, you definitely can’t bear to see me travel afar to buy food, right?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu glanced at Fang Ran indifferently. She did not want to hear her pitiful acting any longer. The girl looked at Chen Man and said, “Auntie, let her sit down and eat together.”
Seeing that Mo Zhu had spoken, naturally Chen Man would not reject her. “Since Xiao Zhu has said so, Ms. Fang, please find a seat for yourself.”
When Fang Ran heard this, she happily placed her bag on the sofa in the living room, quickly washed her hands, and sat down at the dining table.
At the dining table, Chen Man kept putting food into Mo Zhu’s bowl. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was so skinny, she kept reminding Mo Zhu to eat more.
Mo Zhu did not want to make Chen Man unhappy, thus, as long as Chen Man gave her some food, she would eat it regardless of whether she liked it or not.
Fang Ran watched this scene coldly and cleared her throat. She pretended to ask casually.
“Sister, I heard that your total score for the monthly exam is less than 200 points. Is this true?”
Mo Zhu lowered her head and took a bite of her food. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “It’s true. What’s wrong?”
When she said this, Huo Xuan glanced at Mo Zhu expressionlessly.
Even though he thought that the girl’s grades might not be able to keep up with the good schools here, he did not expect her to only get 200 marks in total.
It had to be known that if she had written a few formulas in the short-answer questions of each subject, her results would definitely not be so low. This could only be possible if the girl had not thought of getting high marks at all.
Huo Xuan reached out with a grave expression and picked up a prawn for Mo Zhu as Fang Ran continued.
“What should we do, sister? The college entrance examination is in less than a year’s time. With your current results and foundation, if you don’t work hard, I don’t know if any university will be willing to accept you…”
Fang Ran quietly glanced at Huo Xuan. Seeing the man’s thoughtful expression, Fang Ran became even more pleased. She knew that no man could endure the fact that his fiancée had such bad results! Especially a genius like Young Master Huo, who had won so many awards since he was young!
At this moment, although Huo Xuan was also surprised by Mo Zhu’s results, he wasn’t worried about whether she would be able to get into university. After all, everyone had their own specialties. With Mo Zhu’s excellent medical skills, it wasn’t surprising for her to have poor results.
Besides, even if Mo Zhu didn’t have a life of mediocrity in university, the Huo family had more than enough to raise a woman. As Huo Xuan’s wife, she didn’t need to have good grades or great achievements. Just hand over the work to a man!
“You don’t have to worry about whether I can continue studying or not. Ms. Fang, you should just mind your own business.” Mo Zhu ate attentively, her tone filled with deep impatience.
She had all along been impatient and intolerant towards Fang Ran.
“Sister, don’t act like you don’t care anymore. If you are willing, I can tutor you after school every day to improve your results!” Fang Ran frowned, looking as if she was very worried about Mo Zhu’s results.
“Oh? You want to tutor me? How high did you even get in the monthly examination this time to want to tutor me?” Mo Zhu smiled, looking down on Fang Ran.
“I’m ranked fifth in class and seventh in the level. I don’t know if I have the ability to tutor other people, but it’s more than enough to teach you,” Fang Ran replied proudly when she heard Mo Zhu ask about her grades.
“Haha, with these results, our Xiao Zhu doesn’t need Ms. Fang to worry about her. The Huo family will invite the best tutor in Cloud City for Xiao Zhu. Ms. Fang, you should shut your mouth and eat well.”
Chen Man, who had been silent since just now, could not stand it anymore. She directly opened her mouth to mock her. After saying this, Chen Man looked up and glared at Fang Ran coldly, scaring the girl so much that she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Under Chen Man’s influence, Fang Ran did not dare to say another word until after dinner.. After dinner, she found an excuse and slipped back into the room.
