Chapter 488: 444 Yuan family breaks off the engagement, Ying Yuexuan collapses [2 updates] Chapter 488: 444 Yuan family breaks off the engagement, Ying Yuexuan collapses [2 updates] Imperial Capital Daily Report did not skimp on space, and even bolded the headline.

Mong Ru was stunned for a moment.

Since she had handled all of Ying Yuexuan’s affairs in the Imperial Capital, she was all too familiar with the name.

Mong Ru also knew that Ying Zijin studied at Verdant Middle School and was not a poor student, but she had not bothered to find out more.

Even if she wasn’t bad, she could at best be the same as Ying Yuexuan.

Besides, she wasn’t like Ying Yuexuan, who could code.

Ying Yuexuan was personally entrusted to them by Old Madam Ying, the precious daughter of the Ying family. In terms of status and background, she was certainly higher than a foster daughter.

The Yuan family already had their hands full raising Ying Yuexuan and did not have the time to care for another Ying Zijin.

But now?

Without hesitation, Mong Ru grabbed the newspaper from Father Yuan’s hands.

She thought there had been a mistake in the name, but beneath the headline was a large color photograph.

The girl was dressed in the Verdant Middle School uniform, her features cool and clear, as unapproachable as mist on a distant mountain.

Mong Ru’s hands began to tremble.

The top scorer in the national college entrance exam, with a perfect score!

“What’s wrong?” Father Yuan noticed Mong Ru’s unusual loss of composure, “Do you know her?”

“I, I know her.” Mong Ru struggled to control her emotions and steadied her voice, “She, she’s the Ying family’s foster daughter I’ve told you about.”

Father Yuan was also shocked, “It’s her?”

Mong Ru did not reply and immediately took out her phone to call Ying Yuexuan.

The phone rang seven or eight times before it was picked up.

On the other side was Ying Yuexuan’s slightly anxious voice, “Madam Yuan, what can I do for you?”

“Ying Yuexuan.” Mong Ru’s voice was icy, “Tell me, what score did you get on your college entrance exam?”

When Ying Yuexuan received the call, she was still out on the street.

She had not expected that at this time, Mong Ru would call her, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Mong Ru was always busy; why would she suddenly ask about her exam score so promptly?

Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, “Madam Yuan, I…”

Mong Ru was shrewd, and just by her tone, she knew something was wrong. Her voice turned even colder, “You’d better not lie to me.”

Knowing that she could not fool Mong Ru, Ying Yuexuan braced herself to reveal her college entrance exam score, “535.”

“535?” Upon hearing this, Mong Ru laughed, “Did you forget to say two hundred more? I could accept 735, but tell me, with a score of 535, which university do you want to attend?”

“No, what I should say is, which one can you attend?”

With a score of 535, did she expect to attend a key university in Shanghai City?

Forget about Imperial Capital University, even an ordinary key university might be out of Ying Yuexuan’s reach.

Moreover, if the final cut-off score for key universities was above 535, then Ying Yuexuan could only settle for second-tier universities.

The more Mong Ru thought about it, the more she laughed.

How could someone, a guaranteed seedling for the computer science experimental class at Imperial Capital University, end up with such a result?

“Madam Yuan, I was sick and performed poorly.” Ying Yuexuan knew she absolutely could not allow Mong Ru to give up on her, so she tried to argue, “I can retake the exam. Next year, trust me, the top scorer in Shanghai City’s college entrance exam will definitely be me.”

“You scored 535, but the foster daughter in your family scored 750.” Mong Ru didn’t buy her story and retorted coldly, “She even went through an explosion in O region, so close to the time of the college entrance exam, and right at the epicenter.”

“She lingered between life and death and still managed to be the top scorer; you fall ill and perform poorly like this, Ying Yuexuan, do you think I believe you?”

Mong Ru also hadn’t watched the ISC International Finals and only knew that Hua Country had won, not having time to celebrate before the explosion happened.

The only reason she knew of Ying Zijin being buried was because the news at the time featured only Ying Zijin’s name.

The contrast was too stark and caused a strong sense of disparity.

Especially when there was a certain relationship between the two individuals.

Mong Ru didn’t want to talk to Ying Yuexuan anymore. After hanging up, she blocked the number.

“Call off the engagement.” Having heard the whole process, Father Yuan made a decisive decision, “I’ve said before she had issues, but you still wanted to wait. This marriage must be immediately annulled.”

Fortunately, when they engaged Ying Yuexuan and Yuan Jiacheng, they had not directly informed the entire elite circles of the Imperial Capital.

Otherwise, how many people would laugh if the news got out that the eldest son of the Yuan family was marrying a wife who couldn’t even pass the first-tier university entrance mark?

Ying Yuexuan was at best above average in appearance, with plenty of better-looking women in the entertainment industry. Bringing her home, she wouldn’t even be fit for show.

What did she see in Ying Yuexuan?

Wasn’t it her intellect and talent?

“The engagement must be called off.” Mong Ru took a deep breath, “It seems that something must have happened in O region as well, causing her to return. I underestimated her; young in age but heavy in schemes.”

Without another word, Mong Ru called the Ying family’s old mansion.

She didn’t allow Zhong Manhua to speak and directly mentioned the annulment, and went on to block all of the Ying family’s contact information.

Mong Ru was still seething with anger, “If only I had checked more thoroughly before, now the only one associated with the top scorer of the college entrance exam is us.”

As a noble lady of the Imperial Capital, how could she bother to check on a foster daughter’s news?

She would even find it disdainful to type in the search box.

Mong Ru had to admit she had misjudged the situation.

“What use is there in saying these things now?” Father Yuan shook his head, “Stop thinking about it, she’s already beyond our reach.”

The Mu family and the Nie family were also in pursuit of high-tech talents; a perfect-score top achiever in the college entrance examination, would they even get the chance to make an acquaintance?

Yuan’s father thought it through very clearly.

However, Mong Ru was distracted and somewhat unwilling to accept it.

It was just one step away.

The Yuan family had missed out on close contact with the top scorer of the college entrance exam.

She had to find a way to connect with Ying Zijin.

**

Shanghai City.

On the streets.

Ying Yuexuan couldn’t return to the Ying family home.

She had gone out with Zhong Manhua at noon and hadn’t brought her keys.

When she ran back home, even the gate to the courtyard was locked.

Ying Yuexuan truly hadn’t expected Zhong Manhua to go to such extremes.

Just because she didn’t do well in the college entrance exams?

The exams are important indeed, but they don’t determine one’s entire life.

Walking on the street in a daze, and after being harshly scolded by Mong Ru, Ying Yuexuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Then, she looked up and saw the large advertising screen at the big intersection had changed its display.

[Fans of Qin Lingyu congratulate Ying Bao on the good college entrance exam results!]

Across the road, there was another large advertising screen.

[Fans of Shang Yaozhi congratulate the boss on the good college entrance exam results!]

This was an initiative by the two fanbases, who paid out of their own pockets to rent the advertising screens to celebrate for Ying Zijin.

Before this, they only did such things on their own idol’s birthday.

To rent such a large advertising screen on the central streets of Shanghai City, it costs tens of thousands per second.

Today could be described as a day of celebration across the internet.

Surrounded by the two large advertising screens, Ying Yuexuan felt so suffocated that she could barely breathe.

Because her academic grades in school were indeed very different from her exam results, the head of academic affairs had obtained her paper from the marking committee.

The college entrance exam papers of Shanghai City were marked by the teachers of Shanghai City University.

Only then did Ying Yuexuan horrifyingly realize that because of missed answers in the math multiple-choice section, everything that followed was misaligned, and she hadn’t scored any points at all.

As for the math elective questions and the science comprehensive elective questions, she had attempted them, but she hadn’t blackened the answer choices.

Even during the last mock exam of the third year of high school, the teachers would emphasize this crucial point.

If you don’t shade the answer choices, even if you get the question right, you get no points.

But she had no more chances.

Ying Yuexuan was filled with regret; why had she acted so hastily to get rid of Ying Zijin.

If she had just waited longer, maybe a better opportunity would have come up.

Now, she had blocked all her own paths.

Even Zhong Manhua, who always doted on her, had given up on her just like that.

Ying Yuexuan was at a loss, with no idea what to do next.

After walking a little longer and having nowhere to go, she had no choice but to contact Jing Hongzhen once again.

**

Six o’clock in the evening.

The old Nie family residence.

In the afternoon, Elder Nie had asked the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Mu Heqing was present as well.

Di Wu Chuan, due to his poor health and difficulty traveling, did not come.

Both elders were overjoyed, as if their own granddaughter had scored full marks.

Nie Chao was holding a bowl of cherries, eating them without taking his eyes off the TV, which was broadcasting the news of the college entrance examination.

TV stations from various provinces and cities were reporting the news about Ying Zijin’s position as the top scorer in the exam.

“Look at you,” Elder Nie exclaimed, frustrated but not without affection, as he gave a kick to Nie Chao’s backside, “All day long you behave like a bear, only knowing how to eat and sleep.”

Nie Chao got kicked away, but not a single cherry fell from his embrace: “I can make money too.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin turned his head slightly and nodded: “Quite capable.”

Nie Chao became smug: “Grandpa, did you hear that?”

Elder Nie snorted: “Heartless you may be, but your days pass pleasantly.”

Although Elder Nie said this, he was also in a good mood.

On the other side of the sofa, Fu Yunshen picked up Dudu and placed him on the pig plush toy that he had bought.

He then reached out to poke Dudu’s little belly: “It looks just like you. How about using it as a mount?”

Dudu did not want to engage with him and turned around, showing his backside to Yunshen.
