"What was mistaken?" Director Luo asked discontentedly.
"Didn't you say my adopted daughter skipped the exam? How did she get into Class One?" Ye Jianming asked.
Director Luo saw Ye Jianming's confused look, seemingly unaware of Yu He's actual grades.
Then he looked at Yu He, who exuded a cold aura, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
This child was the same yesterday. No matter how harshly Miller spoke to her, she never defended herself.
He had thought she was timid.
But he hadn't expected her to complete four subjects' papers in the time allotted for two, and achieve full marks in all four!
This was not timidity, this was the confidence of a study god!
While he was shocked, he was also secretly glad that he hadn't offended this study god yesterday.
And Ye Jianming, as the guardian, not only was unaware of his adopted daughter's grades but actually believed rumors!
Director Luo became somewhat angry and sternly asked, "Who spread the rumor that student Yu skipped the exam?!"
Ye Jianming was even more bewildered. He looked at Ye Zisu, who startled and then looked at Miller blankly.
"I don't know either, but yesterday Teacher Miller asked me to find Yu He, saying she skipped the exam..."
Miller, seeing the blame about to fall on her, immediately retorted, "I never said student Yu skipped the exam!"
Ye Jianming didn't care how the rumor of skipping the exam spread.
What he cared more about was whether Yu He's grades would bring him honor.
"So, Director Luo, how many points did our Yu He score?" he asked.
Earlier he referred to her as Ye family's adopted daughter, and now he immediately switched to "our Yu He."
Director Luo, having seen his snobbery many times, deliberately exposed him, saying:
"I heard that Mr. Ye has always been very benevolent, his family is harmonious, and he dotes on his children. What I see today seems to differ from the rumors? He doesn't even understand his own child's academic performance."
Ye Jianming blushed intensely at his words.
He was image-conscious and couldn't stand being criticized, especially in front of so many people. He felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to lose his temper.
But he still held back, awkwardly rubbing his nose:
"Yu He hasn't been with us for many days yet, and she's still a bit unfamiliar. My apologies."
Perhaps it was because of Yu He's grades that Director Luo felt pity for her, to be adopted into such a family.
He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Student Yu He's entrance examination score is..."
Director Luo deliberately took a deep breath, "750 points, full marks in all four subjects!"
"What?!" Ye Zisu exclaimed in disbelief.
"Full marks?!" Ye Jianming asked with surprise.
"This year's entrance exam was more difficult than in previous years, but student Yu He is exceptionally intelligent. She completed four subjects' papers in the time for two, and achieved full marks, setting a new Guinness World Record for Kaiwei Academy!" Director Luo said proudly.
"How could that bumpkin... Yu He possibly be the study god rumored on the forum! Did you make a mistake?"
Ye Zisu couldn't accept it and almost screamed.
Last night, a post about a study god who completed four subjects' papers in the time for two suddenly went viral on the school forum.
It buried the post she had anonymously sent, mocking Yu He.
Everyone was speculating who this mysterious study god was.
Ye Zisu was also very curious. She spent all night browsing the posts, wanting to know who this mysterious study god was that all the students admired, but she didn't find out.
And now they were telling her that Yu He was that mysterious study god?!
No!
This must be fake!
She couldn't accept it!
How could Yu He, this country bumpkin from a poverty-stricken school in the mountains, be a study god!
She remembered the sample test papers she had prepared for Yu He. Yu He hadn't taken them at the time, and she didn't know where they went later.
Could it be that Yu He had stolen them?
Otherwise, how could she have gotten full marks!
"Student Yu He, I apologize to you. Yesterday I judged a book by its cover. You are magnanimous, please forgive me?"
At this moment, Miller suddenly knelt down in front of everyone, with a thud, to Yu He.
Miller had never expected this country bumpkin from the mountains to be a study god.
Although she was unwilling to accept it, reality taught her how to put aside her pride and become the person she hated the most – kneeling down and fawning over someone she disliked.
Compared to the stable job at Kaiwei, pride couldn't be eaten.
If she were fired by Kaiwei Academy, her teaching career would be completely ruined, as no school would dare to hire someone dismissed by Kaiwei!
She wasn't qualified to beg Professor Qin, so she could only beg Yu He for forgiveness.
Ye Zisu and Ye Jianming were both shocked by Miller's action. The homeroom teacher of Class One was kneeling down to apologize to Yu He!
