Chapter 200: Waiting to Speak on Stage (Part 2)
This was essentially hanging the Brother Qingfeng naked on the city wall for humiliation.
“Let’s go!”
Shen Lingyao was pulling Zhao Qingfeng, intending to leave.
“Don’t rush.”
Zhao Qingfeng signaled her to sit down and then said to Li Sibo’s mother with a smile, “Aunt Li, if you really give me this chance to speak, I would indeed have to thank you! So…it’s a deal?”
It’s a deal!
Li Sibo’s mother immediately allotted Zhao Qingfeng 5 minutes to speak.
She didn’t linger any longer and happily pulled Li Sibo to mingle with others. “Brother Zhang, you’re here? Look, doesn’t our little Bo look like someone who’s going to be a big official?”
“Older Sister Li, you might not know this, but Huaqing is a university every student dreams of attending. People who come out of Huaqing and Beijing University are all elites of society. If he chooses the official route, he’s sure to become a big official!”
“Brother Zhang, you’re saying you’ll help our family, right? Don’t worry, of course! Just give our little Bo a few more years, after he graduates and starts his official career, your problems won’t be problems anymore. Our little Bo will definitely help you!”
Just say it.
Promises are easy to make.
After all, whether they’re fulfilled is another matter. She just wanted to relish in this floating feeling.
Meanwhile.
Qingfeng’s mother and Aunt Ding also arrived.
The two women were extremely worried and insisted on dragging Zhao Qingfeng home.
But Zhao Qingfeng refused to agree to anything. Glancing at the time, it was almost noon. “Mom, we’ll eat first. The results will be out soon, and we have to eat somewhere, might as well be here where it’s lively. If I really do make it into the top three of the county, wouldn’t it be good to let everyone see?”
Humiliation is more like it…
Qingfeng’s mother and Aunt Ding weren’t blind to the looks from others.
Many had noticed Zhao Qingfeng and had heard about his grades in the previous mock exams.
No one present believed Zhao Qingfeng could be the top scorer, let alone make it into the top three of the county. That had become an ‘unreachable dream’ for him.
“Little Zhao, what will you do if you don’t make it into the top three?”
“I saw your aunts when I came in. They seem to be planning to cause you trouble today!”
“Did you visit prostitutes?”
“I heard you’ve been involved with multiple women and even contracted an STD, is that true?”
The public loves gossip, especially when the words “STD” come up, making many ears perk up instantly.
Bad news travels fast.
Even though Qingfeng’s mother and Aunt Ding knew the games Zhao Qingfeng played, they were still mortified, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
“Let’s go…”
Qingfeng’s mother was worried the aunts would cause trouble outside.
“Wait a bit longer.”
Zhao Qingfeng reassured her, “Mom, the food is here, and there’s so much delicious stuff. It would be a waste not to eat, right? Besides, Auntie Li has invited me to speak. We’ve made a promise, and a man’s word is his bond. How could I run away at the last moment?”
Everyone could see Zhao Qingfeng was determined to ‘make a fool of himself.’
Some sharp relatives of the Li family suddenly had a thought and whispered to Li Sibo’s mother, “Eh, isn’t this kid just jealous of Little Bo becoming the top scorer and deliberately trying to provoke us? His aunts are definitely going to make a scene today, and he’s here too. What if they start causing trouble here, won’t it ruin Little Bo ‘s big day?”
Right!
Li Sibo’s mother had an epiphany.
But it was too late.
Zhao Qingfeng did it on purpose.
The aunts were sure to come after him today, and he didn’t want them causing a scene at the family building because…there were too few people!
Coincidentally.
The Li family’s event was happening in full swing.
Might as well take this opportunity to settle everything once and for all.
Sure enough.
Just as the banquet was about to start, sudden sounds of funeral music echoed from outside.
Li Sibo’s mother’s face turned ashen, “Quick, someone go outside and see what’s going on!”
