Chapter 300: Chapter 300: You’re retaking the college entrance exam?!

"I dropped out." Jiang Li said calmly.

"What?!!!"

Except for Jiang Shixu, everyone else let out a shocked exclamation.

Lin Manru was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted.

"Lili, you’re not joking with mom, are you? Why would you drop out suddenly?"

Jiang Yan gave her a thumbs up.

"Good job, sister! You’ve done what I’ve always wanted to but couldn’t do!"

"It’s just ridiculous!" After regaining his senses, Old Sir Jiang slapped the table and then glared at Jiang Li, "Do you know how hard it was for me to get you into that school? Do you think you can just enroll or drop out whenever you want? Why wouldn’t you discuss such a major decision with your family?"

Jiang Li wiped her mouth as if she had anticipated everyone’s reactions and calmly said,

"Indeed, I made the decision on my own, but mom, grandpa, it’s something I’ve thought about for a long time. I’ve decided to take the college entrance exam again."

At this, everyone was even more shocked.

Jiang Yan’s eyes nearly popped out.

"No way, Jiang Li, what did you say? You want to take the college entrance exam again?!"

Jiang Li nodded emphatically.

To be honest, her previous grades were so poor that even she couldn’t stand them.

In Daqi, her academics were outstanding among the ladies of the Imperial City, second to none.

Even her mother said if she were a boy, she’d definitely be a glorious top scorer.

That had been a regret of hers at the time.

Because she was a girl, she couldn’t sit for the imperial examinations, and her vast knowledge was almost useless. frёewebnoѵēl.com

She, too, wanted to prove herself with outstanding scores, just like those laureates who rode on horses and wore flowers.

So first, she needed to rid herself of this worthless university degree.

She had also tried other means of change like graduate school entrance exams, but she was only a freshman now and would have to wait three more years.

It might be better to drop out and retake the college entrance exam, which only needed one year, more than enough time.

Jiang Cheng across the table was as surprised as anyone.

Jiang Li was actually going to retake the college entrance exam?!

Did that mean they would be taking the exam in the same year?

At that thought, Jiang Cheng actually felt quite amused.

This Jiang Li really overestimated herself, well, let her try and see how she would get crushed by his grades!

"Grandpa," he said proactively, "It’s a good thing she’s doing this. I can lend her all my review materials, and we can study together."

"It’s just nonsense!" Old Sir Jiang got so angry that he stood up from his seat, "Jiang Li, I thought you had truly reformed, but it turns out you were waiting here to defy me again, as if you can just casually drop out! With your attitude, you’d probably fail to get into college again, and you’d better not come begging me then!"

After saying this, Jiang Zhao Yuan even huffed, didn’t finish his dinner, and went directly upstairs, filled with rage.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng quickly finished his dinner and followed him.

However, Jiang Li was not affected by this and remained calm, sitting in her place.

Jiang Yan suddenly admired her a bit.

To remain so composed under the old man’s scorn and scolding, his sister had a truly strong mentality.

Lin Manru was silent for a long time before she finally walked over to Jiang Li and spoke earnestly,

"Lili, are you really sure about this?"

Jiang Li nodded seriously, "Mom, I never make impulsive decisions."

"Alright." Lin Manru smiled and then patted Jiang Li’s hand, "Mom will support you, even if you don’t get admitted next year, or the year after that, or the year after that, mom will still support you."

A warm feeling rose in Jiang Li’s heart.

Her mom, though sometimes feeble, had the kindest heart; from her childhood to adulthood, there was virtually nothing she or Jiang Yan wanted to do that she opposed.

However, this also indirectly contributed to Jiang Yan’s overbearing nature.

Like when—

"Mom!" Hearing Lin Manru’s words, Jiang Yan angrily slapped his chopsticks on the table, "Why did you support Jiang Li dropping out but not me when I wanted to drop out back then? I almost knelt before you and you still firmly refused!"

Lin Manru was about to explain when she saw Jiang Li giving her a look, so she yielded the stage.

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Well, dear brother, how about you start revising with me from tomorrow and take next year’s college entrance exam together?"

Jiang Yan: "......"

Forget it.

Making him study might as well kill him!

...

...

Jiang Cheng did not sleep well all night.

He could not understand how Jiang Li, who never cared for studies, suddenly wanted to drop out and retake the college entrance exam.

Was her scholarly persona on variety shows not just an act?

Was she really becoming formidable?

Impossible.

Based on his understanding of her, she was always fickle!

But recalling that meaningful look she gave him in the living room, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

No!

He had to figure out what she was really planning!

But he had another task to do.

Jiang Yan was currently grounded, Jiang Li had upset the old man so much that he skipped dinner, and Jiang Shixu, that coward, usually refused even to leave his room.

This was an excellent opportunity for him to curry favor with Old Sir Jiang and strengthen their bond!

So, the next day, Jiang Cheng got up early, freshened up, and waited outside Old Sir Jiang’s room.

At 6:30 in the morning, Jiang Zhao Yuan opened the door.

Seeing Jiang Cheng at the door, he was taken aback.

"Why are you up so early? It’s summer vacation, shouldn’t you be resting well?"

Jiang Cheng smiled, "I’ve gotten used to it at school, waking up at six every morning. I’ve already read for half an hour, and I thought about going for a walk. Since I know grandpa exercises every morning, I thought I’d join you. I had no idea I’d time it just right."

Pleased by his understanding and filial piety, Old Sir Jiang happily led him downstairs.

Something crossed his mind as they were heading downstairs, and Jiang Zhao Yuan sighed deeply.

"If only the others were like you, I’d worry so much less."

Jiang Cheng inwardly scoffed but outwardly remained modest, "My brother and sister are very capable. I hope to be like them one day."

"Why be like them and embarrass yourself on TV like your second uncle? Our family has had enough of celebrities. Don’t you follow in their footsteps!" Old Sir Jiang said sternly as he walked out.

Just as they reached the backyard and were about to start something like Tai Chi, they heard a commotion nearby—

"Wow, impressive! The miss is incredible!"

"Wow, I didn’t know our miss could box!"

"Can I learn too? It seems like great exercise for the body!"
