Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Gifts Already Given

Jiang Yaoting and Dou Ying didn’t sleep either, and as soon as it was possible to check scores on the website, they entered Jiang Banxia’s personal information.

After refreshing twice, the data was successfully displayed.

Chinese 126

Math 145

Science Comprehensive 291

English 125

Total Score 687 (Ranked 109 in the Province)

When Jiang Banxia saw the score, she felt a jolt in her heart.

Actually, she had a bit of hope that she could score two extra points in Chinese and English, which might give her a chance to break 690.

In the end, no miracle occurred; the estimated scores given by the teachers were very accurate, with only a fluctuation of two points.

Seeing the data, Jiang Yaoting burst into laughter. Dou Ying, full of relief and joy, hugged Jiang Banxia and said emotionally, “Xiaxia, you did great! This is the highest score Jiangcheng First High School has achieved in many years. You have fulfilled your father’s and my long-held wish, thank you so much!”

For this couple, whether they themselves got into Qingbei or their daughter did, it meant the same.

This represented their conquering the country’s highest institutions.

Jiang Banxia was stunned for a while. Honestly, Dou Ying really provided a sense of security.

This woman is so rich, spending thousands on clothes for her without a frown during the day, and even bought a suitcase costing four thousand…

If the county had any luxury stores, she might even give her a bag worth over ten thousand…

Though she didn’t think those bags were particularly attractive.

“I… um… actually I knew from the beginning that I got a choice question wrong in Math, but I didn’t say anything…”

She spoke carefully because she felt guilty about it.

Jiang Yaoting laughed and said, “What’s the fuss about? It’s fine as long as we got this result.”

Seeing the score, he finally relaxed.

The Qingbei admission line had never exceeded 687 on this side, and a provincial ranking of 109 also indicated stability!

Since Qingbei enrolls about four hundred and fifty students from the province every year, with fifty being directly admitted for smaller languages and through various channels, as long as you rank in the top 200 in the provincial exam, you usually succeed.

At this moment, Jiang Banxia mustered the courage to ask, “What if I hadn’t passed? I lied, would it matter?”

This question left Jiang Yaoting momentarily bewildered.

Does it matter?

It matters if the score isn’t high enough, as he would certainly want his daughter to retake the exam.

But was her question about whether the score matters?

At that instant, he seemed to have a sudden epiphany.

He said, “No matter how many points you score, you’ll always be my daughter. Sure, I’m excited about your high score and feel fulfilled, but these are just extras. If you hadn’t scored so high, I’d be a bit disappointed. My disappointment would be in myself, not having taught well when you’ve clearly worked so hard. Yet no emotions, regardless of their nature, are in conflict with your identity as my daughter.”

Jiang Banxia: “…”

Dou Ying hadn’t expected Jiang Yaoting to say something like this.

She also realized that at this moment, expectations and affection are two separate matters.

They are entirely different things but often mixed together in daily life.

Jiang Banxia didn’t know if she should believe it; she lacked confidence.

But right now, she had something else to do.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Li Yang.

“I got my score, how about yours?”

The next second, Li Yang replied, “707.”

“What?”

“Hmm, wait a minute, I have to take a call…”

Then, no matter what messages Jiang Banxia sent, Li Yang didn’t reply.

Because Dou Ying was holding Jiang Banxia’s shoulders, she tried to avoid looking at her privacy, but she was too close.

Jiang Banxia also did not shy away.

“Did Li Yang say he scored 707?”

Jiang Banxia was lost for a few seconds before slowly nodding.

Jiang Yaoting said, “Give me his student number, I can check it myself.”

points? Impossible!

No student in Jiang City has scored that high.

could be considered normal, but 707? That’s just a joke!

Unfortunately, Jiang Banxia only knew Li Yang’s student number, not his ID number.

Jiang Yaoting could go to the education bureau to check, but it was late at night; the staff had already left, leaving only a few operators to help with score inquiries.

After all, not everyone can check online, nor does everyone find it convenient to use a computer.

“I’ll call Liu, he’s definitely checking now.”

Jiang Yaoting dialed the number, and it rang for a while before it connected.

“You… hello…”

Liu Dayou’s voice was somewhat disjointed.

“Mr. Liu, it’s me, Jiang Yaoting.”

Instantly, Liu Dayou became alert.

“Hello Director Jiang, hello hello, is this about Jiang Banxia’s results? I’m checking right now, the internet just went down at home, and I spent a while fixing it.”

Jiang Yaoting laughed and said, “No worries, no worries, we’ve already checked. Xiaxia scored 687, ranked 109th in the whole province.”

“Ah? Really? Haha… Finally, Qingbei! Hahaha, congratulations Director Jiang, your daughter is truly outstanding. To be honest, what we teachers taught her was quite limited; she understands everything with just a hint.”

Jiang Yaoting said, “No need to be so modest, Teacher Liu. The majority of the credit for Xiaxia’s high scores goes to all of you teachers.”

Liu Dayou: “I’ll inform the principal right away. Jiang Banxia is the only one from our school to get into Qingbei. If the principal finds out, they’ll definitely promote it like never before.”

After all, Jiang Banxia has another identity, and Jiang Yaoting’s identity is sometimes awkward, considering his ex-wife went abroad. It’s not a serious mistake, but at least it’s a blemish.

Jiang Yaoting needs his daughter’s honor. Even if it can’t completely erase the blemish, it opens a window for the future while working within the system.

For Liu Dayou, Jiang Banxia scoring 687 felt like a relief to him.

As for Liu Meng? He’s already slapped her twice.

The exact details haven’t been asked yet, and there’s plenty of time in the day to ask.

The fact that her performance in the college entrance exam was so abnormal, she might not even pass the second-tier university line.

It’s a complete disgrace!

Does it do justice to the resources provided over the years? And the private tutoring sessions too?

Even the key concepts related to the last major question of the exam, he explained to Liu Meng, but her pig-headed brain couldn’t understand or integrate anything.

Now with his daughter’s failed exam, Jiang Banxia’s score is his only solace.

Jiang Yaoting quickly said, “Teacher Liu, there’s no rush for this. Your class has a student named Li Yang, right?”

Liu Dayou felt a sudden jolt: “Yes, yes, yes! It’s that guy causing trouble at the last moment. Otherwise, Jiang Banxia would’ve definitely scored higher.”

He figured Jiang Yaoting wanted to settle scores after the fact. Now that Jiang Banxia’s scores were out, it was the best time to settle accounts.

Anyway, he’s already had a falling out with Li Yang, so no matter what, it wouldn’t be traced back to him.

Jiang Yaoting: “???”

“Forget it, could you please send me Li Yang’s personal information, Teacher Liu?”

“Okay, okay, okay… You’re worried about Li Yang boasting shamelessly and betting with Jiang Banxia, right? Don’t worry about it. I know Li Yang better than anyone! Even if he didn’t slack off, he couldn’t score over 600, so he won’t bother Jiang Banxia.”

Jiang Yaoting: “…”

He realized that Liu Dayou had quite a grudge against Li Yang.

The text message arrived promptly, and Dou Ying beside him entered Li Yang’s student ID and personal information.

Soon, the data refreshed.

“707”

…

Li Yang was on a call with his parents.

Meanwhile, Xue Ning repeatedly refreshed the displayed data, afraid it was incorrect.

Again and again, she verified the student ID, the ID number…

Hmm, indeed, still fifteen days to adulthood.

She really couldn’t find any issue!

Li Yang: Chinese 117, English 140, Integrated Science 300, Math 150, total score 707, ranked 1st in the whole province.

Is this scientific?

Why Li Yang?

At this moment, Li Yang was explaining the results to his parents.

“What’s the problem? What’s the issue? It’s just 707, right? It’s just that my revision time was too short, there was too much to memorize in Chinese, I didn’t remember it all, otherwise, I could’ve scored full marks!”

“It’s true, how can I fake this? If I could fake my college entrance exam score, would I still need to take the exam? If I had that ability, I’d casually corrupt a bit and pocket hundreds of billions.”

“If you don’t believe me, you should at least trust Teacher Xue, right?”

“Ah, yes, yes, yes, she’s my sister…”

Li Yang handed the phone to Xue Ning.

Upon receiving the phone, Xue Ning’s hands were trembling slightly.

She took a deep breath before her voice came out.

She felt as if she lost her voice, her whole body trembling.

“Mom, Dad… it’s… real…”

She swallowed midway, her throat suddenly feeling dry, her tongue not quite working.

“I checked every piece of information; there were no errors. I even looked at the website; it’s indeed official… How about I call the education bureau to check again, it’s just a bit slow, it might take more than ten minutes to get through…”

“Okay, okay, okay. Mom, Dad, it shouldn’t be wrong. Have a good rest tonight, and remember to buy tickets to come back tomorrow.”

“Okay, okay, okay, my phone is always on, you can contact me anytime.”

After hanging up, Xue Ning immediately called the education bureau.

Actually, the education bureau was using the same query method now…

It was just for peace of mind.

Li Yang watched from the side, and it connected faster than expected, taking about three minutes.

Xue Ning recited the student ID, ID number, and finally received the score report.

707, first in the whole province, no mistake.

At the moment of hanging up, Xue Ning suddenly dropped the phone, then cried and threw herself into Li Yang’s arms.

Li Yang helplessly said, “Why are you crying?”

Not saying anything was better; the more he spoke, the louder Xue Ning cried, “Boo hoo hoo, I even found a repeat class for you, gave gifts, hosted guests…”
