Chapter 51: She was just Lucky

The rain was falling hard and fast, but it also stopped quickly.

By the time Qin Yiyi and the others finished eating, the rain had almost stopped.

Only the rainwater left behind in the potholes on the ground and the cool autumn air served as evidence.

The other students were fine, but they kept mumbling about how they were afraid that the temperature would drop and that they had to hurry home to find thick clothes to wear.

Only the students of grade two, class three started to look for Qin Yiyi after they had packed themselves in the cafeteria. A few boys who had just finished eating and were sitting together with Qin Yiyi and Lu Jinwan looked at Qin Yiyi from time to time and then looked over again. Then they looked over again..

Qin Yiyi didn’t even raise her head. After she had finished eating, she got up and left.

The two girls went straight back to the classroom.

One after another, students rushed back. They stomped their feet at the classroom door and wrung the rainwater off their clothes.

Until they saw Qin Yiyi and Lu Jinwan sitting calmly in their seats.

Their entire bodies probably only had a slight hint of moisture on their scalps…

The last few girls couldn’t hold it in any longer and went over with curious expressions, “Qin Yiyi, how did you know it was going to rain?”

Hearing this, many students sitting in the classroom secretly pricked up their ears, wanting to hear an answer.

However, there were also a few students who looked at the lonely and quiet Qin Jiatong sitting in her seat and chuckled, “How would she know? She must have seen the weather forecast.”

“Do you really think that she can predict the weather? Is she Zhuge Liang?”

Lu Jinwan was a little angry when she heard this. “How can you say that? Didn’t Yiyi just see through it?”

“You even saw through it yourself? Don’t you know shame?” The other party said as she sat beside Qin Jiatong. “Tongtong, don’t think too much. I just bought a cup of hot milk tea here. Drink it to warm you up. You might catch a cold from the rain just now,” The girl said as she pushed the milk tea that she had just bought outside to Qin Jiatong’s side.

She rolled her eyes and said softly, “Don’t think too much. Our teacher has already said that we are students now. Our priority is to study.”

“Your studies are so good. It would be great if you could get into a good university in the future. There’s no need to be distracted by those irrelevant people.”

“Thank you, but my sister is also very good…”

Biting her lips, her eyes were full of tears.

She didn’t forget to show off his White Lotus attributes!

Qin Yiyi didn’t hear it at all.

“F * ck… Have you seen the weather forecast today? It does not show any prediction of rain.”

A boy also unintentionally tapped on his phone. Thinking of the argument just now, he couldn’t help but pay attention to the weather.

But when he saw it, his eyes widened.

Clear skies, slight wind, no rainfall…

While he was a little speechless, his words couldn’t help but make the group of people turn their gazes to Qin Yiyi again.

This time, even Lu Jinwan couldn’t sit still.

“Yiyi, you didn’t really calculate it, right?”

She had also seen it just now. The weather forecast indeed didn’t say that there was rain!

Qin Yiyi glanced at her and casually ended the topic with a few words. “I learned it from farming in the countryside with my grandfather.”

Her words instantly made the students who were originally very curious look away.

They thought that she really knew how to calculate!

They should have known it wasn’t like that!

After school ended in the evening, Qin Yiyi and Lu Jinwan separated at the school gate.

She carried her backpack and drove towards Ding Yi’s car. Behind her, Qin Jiatong’s delicate and timid voice could be heard.

“Sister, sister, wait a moment…”

Qin Yiyi turned a blind eye and pretended not to hear anything.

When Qin Yiyi was about to walk to the front of the car, Qin Jiatong jogged over and chased after her.

“Sister, I have something for you. Wait a moment.”

Qin Yiyi threw her bag into the car and turned her head to glance at Qin Jiatong casually. “Alright, hurry up and say what you have to say!”

“Don’t you like drawing? These are some of the knowledge points that I have compiled. Some of them are the drawing skills that my teacher told me about. Sister, take them back and have a look.” When Qin Jiatong said these words, her tone was very sincere, she acted as if she was thinking of her good sister. “But sister, don’t neglect your studies. We will be in our third year of high school next year. We will be taking the college entrance exam. But I believe that sister will definitely be able to…”

Then, without waiting for Qin Yiyi to respond, she directly stuffed a stack of documents into Qin Yiyi’s arms and ran out.

As she ran, she waved her small fists in Qin Yiyi’s direction.

“Sister, you can do it. I believe you can do it.”

Qin Yiyi was silent for a moment. She lowered her head to look at the stack of documents in her arms and then looked at Qin Jiatong, who had already run far away.

In the end, she gave up and put the things back.

At the Qin residence.

Mother Qin had just finished putting on her mask when she came down from upstairs. She saw Qin Jiatong helping her auntie in the living room prepare dinner.

Her face darkened.

“How can we let Tongtong do it? Did I invite you here for fun? Tongtong’s hand is for writing and drawing. She’s using it to play the piano.”

“She’s not here to help you with these menial tasks.”

The two aunties’ faces were a little ugly, but they didn’t dare to say anything. They only apologized and didn’t dare to do it again.

Qin Jiatong, on the other hand, went over and hugged Mother Qin’s arm with a silly look.

“Mom, what are you doing? I just finished my homework and came out to take a breather. I’m helping Auntie set up a bowl.”

“Our Jiatong is very sensible. It doesn’t seem like…”

It didn’t seem like anyone’s words were self-evident.

However, Mother Qin stopped here. Qin Jiatong wouldn’t take the initiative to continue either.

While Auntie was setting up the food, the mother and daughter sat on the sofa and talked, “Oh right, Tongtong, mom called Master Ma this morning and said that your drawing skills have improved recently. You even took part in the competition on behalf of your school. How was it? Did you win the prize? My Tongtong is so smart and well-learned. She must have won first place, right?”

“Mom, in your eyes, your daughter is the best, but there are many people in our school who are smarter than me.”

Qin Jiatong hugged Mother Qin’s arm and acted coquettishly.

“But the competition isn’t over yet. The final result is hard to predict.”

“What’s hard to predict? My daughter will definitely be first.”

Mother Qin patted Qin Jiatong’s hand gently, her face full of confidence and certainty. “When the time comes, mom and dad will ask the school that they must reward our Tongtong properly.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

Qin Jiatong had an obedient look on her face as she gently kissed her mom on the cheek. “My mom is the best mom in the world.”

“This child.”

Mother Qin also smiled and reached out to gently poke Qin Jiatong’s face. “How old are you, yet you still act like a spoiled child?”

“No matter how old I am, I am still mom’s daughter.”

“Okay, okay, hurry up and go eat.”

The mother and daughter sat at the dining table and looked at the table of dishes in front of them. Mother Qin’s expression was a little bad.

“How many days has your father not been home for dinner this month? If I didn’t know that he was really busy, I would have suspected that he had another woman.”

“Ah, Tongtong, you better not find someone like your father who doesn’t care about his family in the future.”

Mother Qin nagged, causing Qin Jiatong to feel a headache. Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly bit her lower lip. She looked at Qin’s mother with some hesitation.

“Mom, there’s something I don’t know if I should say…”

“What is it? Is there anything that’s difficult to say between you and mom?”

Mother Qin immediately shifted her attention from her husband to Qin Jiatong, her face full of concern.

“Is it because you don’t have enough money to spend? How much more do you need. Just tell me? I’ll give it to you in a while.”

“No, no, Mom really isn’t. I have money.”

Qin Jiatong shook her head and said in a tone as if she didn’t know how to begin, “That’s right. It’s the competition that I mentioned just now. Sister also participated in it…”

Sister?

After pausing for a moment, Mother Qin finally remembered that it was Qin Yiyi.

She couldn’t help but fly into a rage. “What does that girl want to do? Why? Does she feel that she has grown wings and is learning well? Does she want to fight with her younger sister? Doesn’t she know what she’s capable of?” Just thinking about it made her so angry. For a moment, Mother Qin was so angry that she didn’t even want to eat. She threw her chopsticks to the side and said angrily, “I’m just afraid that if she gets the last place, won’t you lose face as her younger sister?”

“I can’t allow that. I’ll call her right now and tell her not to participate in these competitions.”

Seriously, it was fine if she lost face at home.

She actually wanted to throw her face away on the street and in school?

It was really… a waste of raising such a daughter!

Qin Jiatong’s heart flashed with joy. She couldn’t wait to push Mother Qin to quarrel with Qin Yiyi and make a scene.

However, she had to persuade her.

“Mother, what are you doing? She’s my sister. She has the freedom to do whatever she wants. The teachers didn’t stop her.”

Mother Qin became even angrier when she heard this. She slammed the table, “What’s wrong with those teachers in your school? They recommended you to participate in the competition because they have good taste. But to let a stinky girl from the countryside like Qin Yiyi participate in such a competition, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the school?”

Her voice paused for a moment. She suddenly looked at Qin Jiatong. “Tongtong, do you think that the teacher who let that girl participate in the competition has a grudge with your school and deliberately wants to see your school make a fool of itself?”

Only then did Qin Jiatong realize that her mother actually had a mental illness!

She didn’t think much of it in her heart, but on the surface, she shook her head. “It can’t be. Mom must be thinking too much.”

“How can it not be? Don’t bother about this matter. Mom will talk to that girl about it later.”

It would be fine as long as the Qin family had Jiatong.

As for that girl, she should just stay there obediently and wait for a suitable opportunity to find someone to marry off.

It was better to do less embarrassing things!

Mother Qin originally wanted to look for Qin Yiyi the next day, but in the end, she did not manage to stop her.

The next afternoon, she was dragged to a poker game.

When she remembered this matter again, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

Since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Mother Qin went straight to the school office after taking a nap.

“Teacher Zhou, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Teacher Zhou felt that seeing Mother Qin right now gave him a headache. He wanted to hide!

However, he was the class teacher, and Qin Jiatong was a good student…

He sat quietly on the chair and even poured a cup of tea for Mother Qin. “Mrs. Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it. Drink the tea first…”

“Aiyo, what kind of tea are you giving me to drink? Also, this cup, has it been disinfected? Disposable cups can’t be used. It’s full of germs…”

Her ramblings almost caused Teacher Zhou to suffer from internal injuries.

In the end, he was so angry that he raised his head and drank the cup of tea to moisten his throat!

Mother Qin didn’t seem to notice his expression and started talking about the topic of the competition.

“Oh right, teacher Zhou, I heard that you allowed that girl Qin Yiyi to participate in this painting competition?”

Teacher Zhou nodded his head, “I also wanted to talk to Mrs. Qin about Qin Yiyi’s situation. She is studying very hard now, and I have seen her paintings. She is very talented. As parents, you have to try your best to cooperate with your children. Even if the two children in the family have a bowl of water that is unfair, you can’t just care about one and forget the other… This is going to be the third year of high school soon, and the children’s learning can’t be done without their parents’ participation.”

“What? What do you mean? I’m not treating her well?”

Mother Qin’s expression turned cold. She even looked at Teacher Zhou with disdain. “Did that wretched girl tell you that?”

“Let me tell you, Teacher Zhou. That child has been full of lies since she was young. Not a single one of them is true.”

“She grew up in the countryside and learned all kinds of bad habits. Let me tell you, she even stole money from our family. I get angry whenever this child is mentioned… Teacher Zhou, let me tell you. I’m heartbroken and devastated because of her. She doesn’t have any talent in painting. We invited a master painter for the sake of the two sisters. In the end, she was?so good?that she directly angered her teacher and ran away…”

“If it weren’t for Jiatong’s talent in drawing, the master would have been angry with our Qin family.”

“Oh right, Teacher Zhou, let me tell you. That girl really doesn’t have any talent in drawing. If she said that her drawing was good, it would definitely be a lie. She might have copied our family’s Tongtong. You can’t let that girl cheat you on this matter. You must make a decision for our Jiatong. Moreover, if her plagiarism is really exposed, it would be a disgrace to your school, wouldn’t it?”

Look at her, she was so considerate of the school.

She was a good mother who did justice for her family!

Teacher Zhou,”…” Was she really talking about her own daughter?! Or rather, was she… a stepmother?!

He was a little angry. “Mrs. Qin, classmate Qin Yiyi isn’t like what you said. She…”

“Alright, alright. I know you were also deceived by that girl. Let me tell you, that girl is really good at seducing people. A few days ago, I heard that she was fooling around with a few men outside and making other people’s cars to go crazy everywhere. Sigh, our old Qin family is also a family with brains. How did we give birth to such a girl that can’t be taken out? Teacher Zhou, please don’t laugh at me. I was really angered to death by that girl…”

“But it’s not too bad. With our Tongtong… Tongtong is outstanding. She can do anything.”

“From small to big, she has won a lot of awards. Our house has a small study room dedicated to her awards. It’s almost full.”

Teacher Zhou rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “Yes, student Qin Jiatong is very outstanding, but Mrs. Qin, student Qin Yiyi, she…”

“Aiya, don’t mention that wretched girl. Teacher Zhou, can our Tongtong get first place in the drawing competition this time?”

“She definitely can. When the time comes, your school will have to praise her heavily.”

In the end, Teacher Zhou simply shut his mouth.

There was no place for him to speak!

Until finally, Mother Qin suddenly remembered that she still had a poker game, so she hurriedly got up and walked out.

“I still have things to do, so I’ll take my leave first. Next time when I’m free, I’ll come and have a good chat with you, Teacher Zhou. Aiyo, remember to praise our Tongtong properly…”

Mother Qin was no longer in the office.

It was as if the entire world fell silent in an instant.

Teacher Zhou sat on the chair and wanted to lower his head to read the information, but his mind was constantly thinking about what Mrs Qin had said just now.

In the end, he couldn’t help but throw away the pen in his hand. He stood up and walked out of the office.

In this world, how could there be such a biased parent? !

No, this wasn’t bias at all, it should be that her heart was completely on Qin Jiatong’s side!

Forget it, he’d better keep an eye on this little girl in the future.

The Star Cup Competition was this year’s national high school calligraphy and painting competition, and now the school only reported it as a preliminary competition within the province.

It was a preliminary competition within the province and the city.

Then, they would represent the school to participate in the national competition.

Seeing that the results were about to be announced, many students knew that Qin Jiatong was good at her studies, liked to draw, and had a good teacher.

At this moment, before the final score was announced, they couldn’t help but surround her and praise her.

“I’ve already looked at Tongtong’s. The score on it is definitely your highest. You are our school’s number one.”

“It’s going to be revealed soon. Come, let me interview the number one in our school. May I ask how you feel about winning such an award? You will immediately represent us to skip the national competition. May I ask if you are nervous, Qin Jiatong? Do you have any tricks?”

Qin Jiatong’s face was full of shyness. Her smile was shy and sweet.

“What nonsense are you spouting? There are so many people who are better than me. The results aren’t out yet, so you can’t spout nonsense.”

Although her words seemed modest, in reality, she didn’t deny the other party’s claim that she was number one!

Moreover, in the next moment, she actually started to whisper her thoughts to the other party, “My teacher once said that on the path of calligraphy and painting, the emphasis is on talent and diligence. Other than these two points, there’s really nothing else to say. Oh right, when I’m free in the future, I’ll invite my teacher to come over and teach everyone a lesson on painting. My teacher is really good at teaching… also, you can’t say that I’m number one anymore. If I don’t paint well, I’ll be laughed at by others.”

“Your drawing is so good. If you’re not the first, who will be the first?”

The student who said this glanced at Qin Yiyi, who was sitting not far away and playing with her phone.

Could it be that Qin Yiyi, who always pretended to be busy and did the questions seriously?

It was really… hilarious!

“There are five minutes left. The results will be out soon. Look, look, look, three minutes…”

The results of this competition were announced directly on the Internet platform.

At this moment, the countdown had already begun to flicker.

The last three seconds… three… two… one..

Just as everyone’s gaze fell on the phone in their hands, staring at the screen without blinking.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the classroom.

The Internet was cut off!

The campus network was like this. It was intermittent, and the signal outside was not good.

Some people quickly scrolled through the network, while others moved to Qin Jiatong’s side,

“Tongtong, Congratulations. I think I saw your name on the award list just now. Congratulations, congratulations…”

At this moment, Qin Jiatong also scrolled through her name.

She smiled sweetly. “Don’t make fun of me. This is just the beginning. I’ll treat everyone to a meal later. Let’s get together and relax.” She turned her head and looked at Qin Yiyi with concern. She bit her lip and said in a tactful and obedient voice, “Sister, don’t be too sad. This is just a small competition. Didn’t we say that the most important thing is to participate…”

Qin Yiyi didn’t even raise her head. She couldn’t be bothered with this ret*rd!

“Jiatong, you’re so kind. You still care about her. Look at her. What expression is she wearing? She doesn’t even raise her head.”

“How rude!”

“That’s right, Jiatong. Just ignore her.”

A few girls surrounded Qin Jiatong with excitement on their faces. They were chattering as if they had won the award themselves.

During this period, Qin Yiyi did not even raise her head.

It was as if they were not talking about her.

But it made Lu Jinwan extremely anxious.

“I’m so angry. Why can’t I use this lousy phone of mine until now? Isn’t the Internet too slow?”

The Internet in the school was not good.

The phones that the students used were mostly old models or had been passed on by their families.

Therefore, the internet was slow. This was a fact universally acknowledged by all the students on campus.

But at this moment, Lu Jinwan had been browsing for a long time, and it was a blank…

In the end, she was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone.

What a disappointing thing!

Qin Yiyi, on the other hand, finally raised her head and looked at her. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Work hard on your questions. Next time, I’ll give you a cell phone if you get into the top three of the grade.”

Lu Jinwan shook her head without thinking, “No need, no need. I really don’t need it. If I want to change, I can buy it myself.”

Although Yiyi seemed to have a better family background than her, how much money could those parents give her?

She couldn’t let her waste money!

Each and every one of them glanced at her and continued to read… novels without saying anything.

Until, at the classroom door, Teacher Zhou walked in with a face full of excitement, “Everyone is here, right? You have also seen the results of this competition. Now, congratulations to student Qin Yiyi for winning the first place in the provincial painting competition.” As if he didn’t see everyone’s instantly stunned expression, his smiling gaze fell on Qin Jiatong, “Of course, Qin Jiatong is also very good. She has won a shortlist award. I hope that the two of you will continue to work hard and strive to get a good result in the final competition.”

When these words fell, the classroom was deathly silent.

After a long while, someone raised his hand and a weak voice asked,

“Old teacher, shouldn’t Qin Jiatong be the first? Qin Yiyi… could it be… a mistake?”

“Yes, yes, Teacher Zhou, you made a mistake. It must be Jiatong.”

However, that Qin Yiyi actually made it to the finals. She was really lucky!
