Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 98: Show-Off

“I wanted to come to my cousin’s graduation ceremony.” Yuan Keqing’s voice got lower and lower as she continued, “Because of the misunderstanding the last time we were together, I was afraid that my aunt and cousin wouldn’t let me come, so I had to ask Keli for help.

“We are cousins after all. I didn’t want to miss such an important moment for my cousin.” Yuan Keqing put on a magnanimous look, appearing extraordinarily big-hearted, as she said, “You can still blame me and be angry with me. It’s okay. I’m just doing my duty as a sister.”

“How unexpected of you to have such an intention,” Tan Jinqi said with a smile. He was secretly overjoyed inside.

Previously, he had been wondering how to let Yuan Keqing know that Tan Mo was the top scorer on the liberal arts college entrance examination and that Beijing University and Hua University were vying for her. However, it would look too obvious if they went to the door of the Yuan family’s house to tell them.

Today was going to be a great opportunity.

Even if the principals of Beijing University and Hua University didn’t personally come to fight over Tan Mo today, the announcement of Tan Mo’s college entrance examination results will be enough to give Yuan Keqing a slap in the face.

Just thinking about it made him excited!

Tan Jinqi didn’t want to ruin the surprise so he looked calm and composed on the surface. However, behind his back, he was rubbing his hands with glee.

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

She knew what Tan Jinqi was excited about.

“Cousin, how did you score on the college entrance examination?” As soon as Yuan Keqing asked this question, she quickly explained, “Cousin, don’t get me wrong. I have no other meaning. I have just been worrying about you.”

“I did okay,” Tan Mo said with feigned reluctance. “Although I’m still a bit dissatisfied, it was almost what I expected.”

Getting a perfect score was almost exactly what she had expected.

She’d felt that the topic had been a bit simple and not challenging enough, so she was a little dissatisfied.

Qin Muye: “…”

Tan Mo was showing off again.

How could she be dissatisfied after getting a perfect score?

Yuan Keqing looked overjoyed. If Tan Mo had done well in the exam, she would have bragged about it a long time ago.

Wasn’t it just like when they were in the first grade of elementary school and Tan Mo couldn’t wait to show off that she’d gotten a perfect score on an exam?

This time, Tan Mo had screwed up the exam. Average isn’t enough to get into Beijing University.

Wei Keli was also secretly delighted in his heart, but he comforted her by saying, “Mo Mo, since the exam is over, there’s no use in thinking about it. You have been mentally prepared before, so relax now. No matter how bad you feel about it, you can’t take this exam again this year.”

“Cousin, I’m sorry. It was all my fault.” Yuan Keqing turned and looked at Wei Keli.

Wei Keli nodded at her, then said to Tan Mo, “Mo Mo, Keqing has explained it all to me. She really didn’t mean to upset you. It was all a misunderstanding. You two are cousins, so even if you are just in a fight at the moment, you can’t hold a grudge forever.”

“Keli!” Li Xiangrong had been rushing over, and she’d just happened to hear Wei Keli’s words. She became livid.

What is he talking about?

Tan Mo was already very upset about bombing on the exam, yet Wei Keli still wants Tan Mo to forgive Yuan Keqing?

“This is Tan Mo’s personal matter, and you aren’t her, so you can’t understand it.” In front of her parents and brothers, what nonsense is he babbling?

Tan Jinsheng couldn’t even look at Wei Keli. What an idiotic bastard!

Even Xu Mingzhen’s face fell. Because of Li Xiangrong, she couldn’t fuss with Wei Keli, but she was so angry that her chest felt tight and painful.

“When it happens to you, I hope you are just as forgiving,” Wei Zhiqian said, looking at his 19-year-old nephew.

He was already an adult, but was still so foolish. It would be difficult for him to bear huge responsibilities in the future.

At that moment, Wei Zhiqian blacklisted Wei Keli in his heart and determined that he wouldn’t give him any work in the future.

“Don’t blame Brother Keli. I asked him to help me explain what had happened to my cousin. I was afraid that my cousin wouldn’t listen to me.” Yuan Keqing glanced at Wei Keli gratefully.

“I believe that if Brother Keli encounters such a thing in the future, with Brother Keli’s benevolence, he definitely won’t be angry and will still be good buddies with that person.” Tan Mo clasped her hands together and spoke with a clear expression in her eyes. “Brother Keli’s magnanimity is really admirable.”

Wei Zhiqian didn’t change his expression as he listened, but when he looked at Wei Keli, his eyes showed a little mockery.

Only a fool like Wei Keli wouldn’t hear the ridicule in Tan Mo’s words, and he looked quite smug.

“Cousin, Brother Keli got a good score this time.” Yuan Keqing looked at Wei Keli admiringly as she said, “I would be happy if I could get this score on the college entrance examination.”

“Oh?” Wei Zhiqian asked with interest. “What score did Keli get?”

“683 points.” Wei Keli feigned a humble smile as he said, “I looked at the admission scores of previous years. With my score, I’m pretty sure that I can get accepted to Beijing University this year. ”

Qin Muxiao and others were listening nearby with their ears perked up.

“Tan Mo is a widely acknowledged genius in our school. She is a senior in high school at the age of 15 and gets first place on exams every time.” Fang Xiaowen whispered, “Do you think she actually bombed on the exam this time?”

“Who knows how she took the exams in school? “Qin Muxiao snorted and said, “She has such a good relationship with Ming Yeqing, and I know Ming Yeqing studies very hard. During exams, the two of them often sit next to each other. It’s hard to say whether or not there is something else going on.

“But the college entrance examination is different. Who would dare to take risks during the college entrance examination? Besides, Ming Yeqing wasn’t at the same test center as she was. Even if she wanted to copy other people’s answers, they have to let her copy them.” Qin Muxiao sneered. “I’m not surprised that she screwed up the exam this time.”

“Then cousin, what do you plan to do?” At this time, Yuan Keqing piped up again, asking Tan Mo, “Are you going to repeat the year or change schools?”

“Actually, I suggest you repeat one year.” Wei Keli exuded a sense of superiority at this time. “It’s not that you didn’t study well, but a mistake caused you to screw up this exam. You have the potential to go to Beijing University or Hua University, so it would be a shame to choose another school. It’s better to wait and get a good score on the exam next year. Then you can choose between Beijing University and Hua University at your discretion.

“I definitely want to choose Beijing University. How about you choose Beijing University next year?” Wei Keli smiled confidently and said, “I will be waiting for you at Beijing University.”

The last person who had said this to her was Wei Zhiqian.

After hearing Wei Zhiqian’s words then, she had felt that she had a goal in life.

But now, upon hearing Wei Keli say the same thing, she suddenly felt as if the sentence had been defiled.

Wei Keli only wanted Tan Mo to be his underclassmen instead of his peer, but he still wanted to be in the same school as she was.

“Repeat the grade?” Qin Muxiao couldn’t help but walk over and say, “Even if she repeats the grade it will be useless. Don’t blame others for your own failure on the exam. Even if there was no accident, she wouldn’t have done well on the exam. No matter how many times she repeats the grade, it will be useless.”
