Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Crushing from a Top Student

Lu Jing really wanted to laugh. What was this person trying to do?

It felt like a declaration of war.

He gave a meaningful glance at the person beside him.

Just as Jiang Ye was about to speak, Lai Xingchen beat him to it:

"Nurse, our sister-in-law doesn’t work in the J District Hospital; she’s in the neighboring Nanxi University Affiliated Hospital."

Besides, even if she was in J District Hospital, could one really recognize everyone in such a huge hospital?

They were all cunning as thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of ghost stories were they playing at?

Nanxi University Affiliated Hospital was among the top three hospitals in the country and enjoyed a renowned international reputation.

Lai Xingchen didn’t care about the reactions from others, continuing:

"I’ve checked it out, and the attending doctors at Nanxi University must at least have a doctorate degree, and nurses are also required to have at least a bachelor’s degree to be recruited."

It was only because he was too bored during his recent hospital stay that he bothered to find out about all this.

Others had only heard that Nanxi University was impressive, but they had no clear idea of the specifics.

So now, with Lai Xingchen’s words, everyone was truly taken aback.

"Wow, is sister-in-law also a PhD? No way, she’s still so young, right?"

The majority of people imagined PhDs to be middle-aged or elderly men or women.

Lai Xingchen was clearly showing off now, after all, none of his comrades knew.

The satisfaction of being the only one in the know was just too good.

"What about being young?

A returnee doctorate graduate from the top-notch Harvard University Medical School, yes, that’s right, she’s our sister-in-law!"

Even Old Qin and his wife were stunned beyond belief.

"A returnee doctorate from Harvard University? Sis, um, I just wanted to ask, how old are you this year?"

People shouldn’t compare themselves with others, as the saying goes: comparisons will drive you mad!

Luckily, Mrs. Qin had a good attitude, but she couldn’t help being amazed.

"27."

Yikes!

Only 27 years old?

It could be said that Wei Lin was older than Lu Jing by two years.

At this point, Jiang Ye started to laugh, looking quite happy:

"What are you all even talking about? Do you know what her scores were for the middle school and college entrance exams?"

Huh?

The crowd felt something was off but couldn’t quite grasp it at the moment, so they followed up:

"How much?"

"Back then, the middle school exam full score was 660, academic courses were 620, and physical education was 40. I remember it seemed like she scored 652, right Lu’er?"

It had been so many years since the middle school exams that it was indeed a bit fuzzy to remember.

Lu Jing had never flaunted her past achievements publicly; to her surprise, Jiang Ye casually boasted about them now.

As all eyes were on her, Lu Jing could only nod:

"Yes."

With affirmation, someone laughed even more happily:

"I knew I remembered correctly. The eight points she lost were two points deducted in Chinese, one in English, and five in physical education, with full scores in all other subjects."

Lu Jing’s mouth twitched as she looked at Jiang Ye with skepticism:

"Why do you remember my scores so clearly?" she asked.

Ahem.

"I have a good memory!"

There was no denying that reason.

The others couldn’t help swallowing:

"What about the college entrance exams? How many points did sister-in-law get?"

Lu Jing had already stepped firmly on someone’s foot, wanting to urge him to keep a low profile.

But she didn’t have the chance to speak before Jiang Ye blurted out:

"738, the top science student of our area that year!"

Everyone truly had no doubts now. With such incredible scores in middle and high school, a 27-year-old doctorate seemed quite normal.

Wait a minute.

"Captain Jiang, how come you know so much about sister-in-law’s exams from when she was little? Don’t tell me you’ve known each other for a long time?"

At this question, Lai Xingchen shouted out again in urgency:

"I know, I know, sister-in-law knew Captain Jiang when she was three years old!"

Three years old?

"Really? For real?"

Damn, that’s just too...
