Qiao Yu was indeed a very good candidate for the competition.
Qiao Yu’s advanced mathematics results had always been good, and not many people could answer the last question to such an extent.
Chang Yuan nodded. “I’ll get Qiao Yu to form a team and pick out a few more talented students.”
Zhang Cheng moved on from Qiao Yue’s matter, treating it as a hallucination on his part.
!!
Qiao Yue was very happy with her progress and was in a good mood, not so much for Sun Bin.
Sun Bin had been studying day and night and had moved up by more than ten places. It was already a significant improvement, but compared to Qiao Yue, he was still far behind.
In the car on his way home, Sun Bin cried alone.
People said that men shouldn’t shed tears too easily, but at this moment, he felt very wronged.
When he got home, Sun Bin’s parents joined him for a rare meal together.
Sun Bin’s family was in business, mainly foreign trade. His parents travelled often, so it was rare for the family to sit together happily for a meal.
“Mom, Dad, I’m home!” Sun Bin was so excited that he almost stuttered when he saw his parents.
“I heard from Teacher Chang that you did very well this time. I specially pushed back the conference in D-Country to come home.” Sun Bin’s mother said to Sun Bin with a smile.
Sun Bin’s father also asked him to sit.
Sun Bin looked at all his favorite dishes on the dining table and felt his eyes tear up.
His parents were rarely together, and they were not on good terms. Sun Bin had not experienced such a happy family gathering since he graduated from elementary school.
“Dad, Mom…” Sun Bin held back his tears and ate the rice in his bowl, “Actually, I didn’t do that well. There’s a boy named Qiao Yue in my class. He improved all the way to third place this time.”
Sun Bin’s mother, Cheng Yue, patted Sun Bin’s head and said, “Don’t worry. You’ve improved a lot this time. You don’t have to be the best.”
“You can’t say that. Dad will always support you to work hard and surpass your classmate… Qiao Yue, right?” Sun Wu picked up some food with his chopsticks for Sun bin.
Sun Bin stacked his parents’ hands together and said, “Dad, Mom, I will definitely work hard.”
Sun Bin’s parents looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with disdain, but when they saw Sun Bin, their eyes turned kind again.
Cheng Yue quietly pulled her hand away. “Alright, let’s eat.”
“Dad, Mom, does it mean that if I study hard, you two will come home together more often?”
Sun Bin looked at his parents with anticipation. Cheng Yue looked away and nodded.
The family began to enjoy a happy meal together.
At the Qiao residence, dinner was also very sumptuous tonight.
There were hot pots on the table with three kinds of soup base: spicy mala, tomato, and chicken collagen.
The chicken collagen soup base was specially prepared by Qiao Yue for Old Master Qiao.
Old Master Qiao had also specially ordered the kitchen to buy plenty of seafood and high-quality wagyu for this hot pot meal.
“I’ve arranged for this special meal to celebrate the significant progress that Xiao Yue and Xiao Ying made in the recent exams.” The old master’s face was ruddy, and he looked much more energetic than usual.
He raised his teacup. “Come, let’s have a toast.”
The whole family stood up and clinked their glasses with the old master and Qiao Yue with a smile.
Only Qiao Xin’s face was black. No one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing his daughter’s expression, Qiao Li reminded her in a low voice, “No matter how much you don’t like your fifth brother, he’s still your grandfather’s favorite. Give him some face.”
Qiao Xin stood up reluctantly and clinked glasses with Qiao Yue.
“Fifth brother did really well this time. Keep up the good work.” Qiao Xin said with a fake smile.
“Xin’er, you have to learn from Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying has improved a lot this time. You can’t always just focus on music and ignore your other subjects.” Old Master Qiao said.
Qiao Xin nodded, but she was still a little indignant.
If she did well in music, she could become a star like Qiao Ze. How could any studious nerd do better than her?
Qiao Yu clinked glasses with Qiao Yue as he said softly, “You’ll know what your present is in a moment.”
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows. “Fourth brother has prepared in advance? Are you a prophet?”
Qiao Yu nodded and made a gesture of zipping his mouth. “Just you wait.”
Qiao Jing cleared his throat and said, “I’ve also prepared a gift for you this time. I’ll give it to you later.”
Qiao Yue laughed. Why did they all start giving her gifts now that she had good grades?
