“If you ask me, you can’t be too kind. Just do as we said before and teach her a lesson.”
Xu Zhongyi snorted coldly. “This girl is indeed an ungrateful wretch. She needs to be taught a good lesson.”
A hint of scheming flashed in Xu Yue’s eyes, but she pretended to be tolerant and smiled. “Father, Mother, Sister is also very pitiful. I’m very happy that she can live well now. I want to go and talk to her.”
Both Father and Mother Xu sighed.
They really felt that Xu Yue was kind and sensible. She was indeed worthy of being raised by them from a young age.
On the other hand, Xu Wanwan was rude and ignorant. She even liked to contradict them everywhere. Now, she was even more ungrateful, like a thankless wretch.
Xu Yue had already thought of a countermeasure in her heart. She deliberately raised her wine glass and walked up to Xu Wan.
Under the curious gazes of the people around her, she grabbed Xu Wanwan’s arm and smiled intimately. “Sister, congratulations on becoming the top scorer in Science.”
Xu Wanwan could not help but feel goosebumps all over her body. She subconsciously took a step back and shook off Xu Yue’s hand. Her eyes were distant as she said, “Thank you.”
Xu Yue was stunned. She continued to smile, but her tone gradually became low. “Sister, you’re really lucky to be able to get such a good result. Unlike me who was in a bad mood, so I failed the College Entrance Examination.”
Xu Wanwan stared at the person in front of her with vigilance. She did not know what she was up to and did not respond.
At this moment, a disdainful voice suddenly sounded from the crowd—
“What College Entrance Examination champion? She’s just a scheming bitch.”
The surrounding people quieted down again and watched the good show.
Xu Wanwan looked toward the source of the voice and saw Zhao Zixuan walking over with a face full of resentment.
Xu Yue pretended to hold onto Zhao Zixuan and hurriedly shook her head. “Zixuan, I’m sure sister didn’t do it on purpose back then. Stop talking.”
Zhao Zixuan had always hated Xu Wanwan and had no intention of stopping at all. He said mercilessly, “If you hadn’t interfered with Yueyue before the exam and caused her to be in a bad mood, she wouldn’t have failed the College Entrance Examination. She wouldn’t have let you take advantage of the opportunity and pick up the title of the top scorer for nothing!”
“Zixuan, it wasn’t easy for sister to come from the countryside back then. She wasn’t used to the environment. It’s not wrong for her to lose her temper at me.” Xu Yue saw that she had attracted the attention of the people around her, so she pretended to be generous, “Anyway, the matter has passed. Let’s not blame her.”
“Only just lost her temper? At that time, she took advantage of your kindness. Not only did she tear up your homework, but she also deliberately put a toad in your bag. She played square dance songs while you were studying. She deliberately didn’t want you to study hard!”
The expressions of the people around him changed subtly. They could not help but look at Xu Wanwan again.
Who would have thought that a girl with such a good appearance could do such a thing?
Could it be that she was just a good-looking girl on the outside?
Sun Yuelan rushed over when she heard their voices and added fuel to the fire. “That’s right. Yueyue is just too kind. She tolerated her sister everywhere. I didn’t expect that not only was she not grateful, but she actually did such a thing.”
The discussion grew louder and louder, and the people around them watched the show indifferently.
Xu Wanwan looked at the family calmly and felt that it was funny.
She said coldly, “You guys really went through a lot of trouble just to snatch my results. You actually made up so many stories.”
“Xu Wanwan, how can you talk to us like that!” Xu Zhongyi’s face was red as he rained curses for his own sake. “If we knew you were such a useless thing, we should have left you in the countryside back then.”
“Yeah, we were kind enough to adopt you, but you didn’t know what was good for you and caused your sister to fail her College Entrance Examination. You really let us down,” Sun Yuelan added fuel to the fire.
Xu Wanwan’s expression did not change at all, but she felt extremely derisive in her heart.
It was a crime that was forced, so why not use words.
She had guessed that the Xu family would cause trouble, but she did not expect them to use such a method to frame her.
From the beginning to the end, Xu Yue was like a living victim. The family was afraid that she would be wronged, so they pointed all the blame and hurt at her.
Li Jingran stood behind Xu Wanwan and tried his best to endure.
If it were not for the fact that this girl had held him back a few times, he would have asked someone to chase them out.
He wanted to go forward again, but Xu Wanwan turned around and forced a smile at him. “I can solve it myself.”
Li Jingran frowned, his eyes full of forbearance.
Xu Wanwan turned around and put away the smile on her lips. Looking at Xu Yue’s pitiful look, she said calmly, “What’s the English test for the College Entrance Examination?”
Xu Yue was stunned on the spot. “What?”
“You said that my title as the top scorer is not deserved, and I can prove it to everyone. You said that you failed the College Entrance Examination because you were in a bad mood, so you can also prove your true strength.”
Xu Yue was at a loss. She quickly looked at Sun Yuelan for help.
“Don’t tell me you don’t dare?”
Sun Yuelan snorted coldly. “Yuelan was trained personally by us. She has been proficient in English since she was young. What’s there to be afraid of?”
After saying that, she gave Xu Yue a look. “Hurry up and prove your true strength to everyone.”
They were worried that they would not be able to save face, but they did not expect Xu Wanwan to jump the gun.
Xu Wanwan nodded and stared into Xu Yue’s eyes. “Okay, so what’s the topic of the College Entrance Exam’s English Composition?”
Xu Yue was in a dilemma. She clenched her fingers and said through gritted teeth, “It’s been so long, how can I still remember the topic of the composition?”
“It’s okay if you don’t remember, I can tell you.” Xu Wanwan had already expected her to say that. “The topic of the College Entrance Exam’s composition is to protect the ecological environment. I can recite my composition on the spot, so can you do it?”
Xu Yue pursed her lips tightly. The sweat on her forehead kept sliding down. She was anxious and resentful.
Damn it!
How did this country bumpkin know that she didn’t know?
What College Entrance Examination Essay? She had only read the question once and copied a few sentences according to the previous case. She couldn’t remember it at all.
She had never been interested in the private English coaches that Sun Yuelan had hired for her. She had never studied them well and couldn’t learn standard pronunciation at all.
How could she say that?
“Yuelan, hurry up,”Sun Yuelan urged.
Xu Yue was at a loss. Looking at the torchlight-like eyes around her, she bit her lip hard. “I… I forgot.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “If that’s the case, then just casually say some English. After all, I learned a lot in the three years of high school.”
At this moment, Xu Yue wished she could find a hole to hide in. She hated Xu Wanwan to death!
How could she lose face in front of so many people!
Xu Yue took a deep breath and almost took out what she had learned all her life. She stammered out a paragraph of English—
“The environmental is very bed today, many trees and water are pollut…”
Xu Wan Wan listened quietly and immediately pointed out her problem. “First, the sentence you said has a very simple structure. Some of the words are too weak and don’t seem to be at the level of a high school student.. Second, you made a mistake in grammar.”
