Chapter 458: Chapter 458 Test 5

Li Julin didn’t pay attention to Li Yue but immediately started to talk to Shen Mianmian about the scores with some urgency.

"Little girl, I briefly checked just now, and with your grades, getting into First High is indeed no problem. Once the middle school exam scores come out, these three schools will probably fight tooth and nail for you."

Shen Mianmian had not expected Li Julin to ask this question now. She glanced reflexively at He Nan, and noticing her behavior, Li Julin added.

"You don’t need to look at him. If you have any thoughts, feel free to speak them."

He preferred to speak directly and didn’t like beating around the bush.

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian simply stated her plan, "Uncle Li, I plan to study at Third High."

"Study at Third High?" Li Julin furrowed his brow, clearly not understanding her idea, "Do you know that attending First High is the dream of countless students?"

Others struggled to get into First High and couldn’t make it, but she, on the other hand, was giving up First High for Third High.

"I know," Shen Mianmian nodded, explaining seriously, "Uncle Li, I’ve inquired carefully. First High has relatively strict management; the students have to board, and there’s hardly any free time. Third High is a bit more liberal, and they also have day students. I have some personal reasons that prevent me from boarding."

"Besides First High, there is also Second High. Second High also allows for day students and has better teaching quality than Third High." Li Julin raised his concern. If not going to First High, Second High would also be a good choice, yet she directly opted for Third High.

He did not approve of such a decision.

At her age, the most important thing was study, and now, the most crucial three years of high school were upon her. Choosing the wrong school could ruin her life.

"My cousin might go to Second High. I don’t want to be in the same school as her; it would affect my studies." Li Yue must have told them about the family situation, so there was no need for her to deliberately hide it.

In fact, she also had some ulterior motives, such as choosing Third High to facilitate her business, but she did not disclose this because if Li Julin knew, he would definitely not support her choice to attend Third High for the sake of business.

Perhaps, to ensure she focused on her studies, he would even offer to pay her tuition fees. This couple was very kind-hearted. In her previous life, they gave her extra money to help pay for Shen Jianhua’s medical treatment. Given Li Julin’s appreciation for talent, offering to pay her tuition fees wouldn’t be strange at all.

When Li Julin heard about Shen Mianmian’s family issues yesterday, he thought such things were not unusual in the countryside and didn’t see anything particularly noteworthy. But thinking back on it now, he felt an unusual anger.

However, he didn’t show it and pondered, "There’s still some time before the start of school, and I do hope you will consider it carefully."

After saying this, he glanced at He Nan. No wonder this fellow brought the girl over; it turned out that she couldn’t attend First High.

These youngsters were really cunning, each outsmarting the other, making a fool out of an old man like him.

"I will, Uncle Li," Shen Mianmian said.

She didn’t refuse outright but nodded earnestly instead.

As they chatted away, dinner time arrived unknowingly. With Shen Mianmian’s help, Xiu Min cooked another table full of delicious food.

Before they left, Li Julin and Xiu Min each gave Shen Mianmian a red envelope and also gifted her two sets of new clothes.

Li Yue offered to see the two off and as soon as they stepped out the front door, he gave Shen Mianmian a thumbs up.

"Little Mianmian, you’re truly clever. Those questions had my dad totally fooled. When he finds out he’s been tricked later on, he’s definitely going to be furious."
