Chapter 203: Keeping Them Guessing (Part 2)

Old Yan, beaming with joy, led the group inside.

Qingfeng’s mother and Aunt Ding came over to inquire about the situation.

Shen Lingyao was also anxious, “Brother Qingfeng, how many points did you actually score?”

Just as Zhao Qingfeng was about to answer,

At the same time, Zhao Xiuli, just having been dressed down by the police, also came over, loudly demanding, “Say it, how many points, you bastard, hurry up and spit it out!”

The other two aunts arrived simultaneously, their ears perking up, their expressions fierce as if they were mother hounds about to pounce on their prey.

Zhao Ming and Zhang Ping also crowded in, “Quickly say, 300 or 200!”

Shen Lingyao was beside herself with worry, standing in front, “What are you doing, want to hit someone? The police are still here!”

Zhao Qingfeng, unruffled, said, “Want to know my score? Simple, let’s go inside and listen! I guess Li Sibo is about to sing and dance to rap. After his performance, I will also go on stage, and then announce it to you all.”

Let’s go inside then.

Given their ‘grudge’ against the Li family, the aunts also wanted to disgust them.

The group quickly entered the venue.

At this moment,

Li Sibo was preparing to go on stage, his high score of 715 making him full of pride.

Old Bian was also joyful, convinced that Li Sibo was this year’s top scorer. Before he found out the score, Zhao Qingfeng’s score hadn’t been released yet. At this moment, he was chatting with Old Yan and the others who had just come in.

“Principal Gao, why are you just arriving? I’ve already told Li Sibo’s mom, please go up and speak later!”

When Old Bian left earlier, Principal Gao was communicating with teachers from Beijing University and Huaqing, and he hadn’t expected Zhao Qingfeng to come from behind and score the highest in the county and even the province.

“Got it…”

Principal Gao waved his hand, dialing his phone to reconfirm the scores from the provincial city.

The scores were about to be fully released in a few hours.

Therefore, it was necessary for Principal Gao to confirm whether the student he had always ‘loved’ and ‘focused on,’ Zhao Qingfeng, would indeed become the provincial top scorer!

Old Bian, oblivious, was basking in joy, “Old Yan, I’m getting promoted at the start of the school year, envious, aren’t you! Honestly, nurturing a top scorer is really not easy. But don’t be disheartened, rest well from your illness. When you’re better, I’ll find an opportunity to share some teaching insights with you!”

Old Yan hesitated, too excited to stop coughing.

At that moment, Li Sibo also began his speech on stage.

The young man was full of pride and ambition.

Despite everything, congratulations were in order, and Zhao Qingfeng, like everyone else, gave a warm round of applause.

“Thank you all…”

Li Sibo was moved to tears, “Thank you for attending my university admission celebration today! Twelve years, a full twelve years of hard study, diligently and earnestly, I have finally lived up to expectations. In the university entrance examination, I achieved a score that satisfied everyone, especially myself and my beloved mom! 715 points, the top scorer is none other than me, thank you, thank you all once again…”

Li Sibo bowed deeply three times.

The venue erupted into thunderous applause, Old Bian was grinning from ear to ear, giving enthusiastic thumbs-ups.

“Brother Qingfeng, how many points did you really get?”

Shen Lingyao didn’t care how lively the scene was, she was only concerned with this question.

She was convinced the top scorer was out of reach.

The playful bet made earlier surely wouldn’t come true.

She just wanted to confirm whether Zhao Qingfeng’s score would qualify him for Ji Province University.

Qingfeng’s mother and Aunt Ding were also urging him, but Zhao Qingfeng remained silent until after Li Sibo had finished speaking. Only then did he stand up and walk towards the stage, watched by thousands, turning back to Shen Lingyao to instruct, “Yaoyao, don’t forget our bet. Also, hold onto my mom and your mom’s hands, in case they get too excited.”

What did this mean?

Shen Lingyao was startled, fearing the Brother Qingfeng really had failed…
