Chapter 190: Chapter 160: Chen An'an's Bizarre Exam

It was the end of January.

The temperature in Capital City became increasingly cold.

Chen An'an, who got up early, wrapped herself up like a little dumpling.

Today was a big day for her, one that had been brewing for the past six months.

Chen Pingsheng had been accompanying her in the yard since early on, holding an intense swearing-in ceremony for the exam.

Chen An'an's chubby eyes were filled with determination.

She even tied a red ribbon on her little forehead.

Raising her small hand, Chen An'an firmly said, "I will try hard, I want to rank third, I don't want to disappoint Dad."

"You will try hard, you aim to rank third from the bottom, please make yourself clear,"

Chen Pingsheng added a comment from behind her.

Indeed, today was the mid-term assessment test for her second grade.

Chen An'an's performance was as steady as an old dog.

Forever hovering around third from the bottom.

"Dad, third from the bottom is still third, we should be content and happy,"

Chen An'an tried to console her dad.

"Hmm, if I weren't content, I would've been driven to my grave by you already."

Chen An'an harrumphed a couple of times.

Today was meant to be Song Yanxi's turn to take her to school, but the little lady didn't want to face embarrassment.

She had made up an excuse early on and left for Water Cloud Space Academy before seven o'clock.

Chen Pingsheng had no choice but to pick a car to drive her to school.

None were low-profile.

He might as well just take the Bugatti and wear big sunglasses.

It would be good if one fewer person recognized him.

Chen An'an was very serious.

The father and daughter drove for about twenty minutes before reaching the school.

Because it was the last day of the mid-term assessment, the entrance of Shijingshan Primary School was packed with cars.

However, almost everyone turned their heads once the Bugatti showed up.

Chen Pingsheng, feeling embarrassed to stop right at the school gate, chose to park a bit further away and let the big spoiled brat walk over herself.

When Chen An'an got out of the car, she even shook her large backpack.

Then she walked towards the school gate, step by ponderous step.

Chen Pingsheng also got out of the car, and right away a few parents approached him to greet him.

"An'an's Dad, did you get a new car?"

"An'an's Dad, with An'an's test today, she's sure to get a pretty decent ranking."

Those were mere comforts made with a forced smile.

Chen Pingsheng said, "It's just kids, after all, growing up happily is the most important thing, their studies don't always have to be that great."

He was just trying to find himself a way out.

"Haha, right, right, with your family's great circumstances, An'an doesn't need to earn her own money when she grows up. She indeed doesn't need to study."

"Absolutely, if my child had your conditions, I doubt they'd be studying so hard like they do now."

Their children got along well with his An'an.

They would greet her as "An'an" every time they saw her, and thanks to this affectionate address, she had not needed to bring pocket money for half a year.

Chen An'an was usually quite generous. Experience adventure on m-vl-em|p-yr

Mainly because she had too much pocket money, more than enough to spoil an entire class.

"Not really."

Chen Pingsheng casually said, "If she could learn well, I'd be happy too, but the key is her grades just won't improve."

The progress of the plump praying mantis was noticeable.

Yet the stability of her academic performance remained unchanged.

The other parents didn't know what else they could say to comfort him; after all, for a family like his, it didn't matter whether the child performed well or not. If they couldn't get into Qingbei University domestically, they could easily donate money to attend any prestigious international university.

In such a situation, who would bother comparing grades with his family?

That would be like boasting about just eighteen cents in front of a billionaire.

It simply wasn't necessary.

Inside the examination hall.

Chen An'an brought three pairs of glasses.

One black pair, whose specialty was seeing far distances.

One white pair, capable of magnifying small things.

And a pair with gold frames, whose specialty was hiding where she was looking from the teacher.

Chen An'an checked the seat arrangement.

To the left was the beaming Little Fatty, who ranked fifth from the bottom in the class.

Copying from him would be inappropriate.

To the right was the silent child, ranking fourth from the bottom.

Copying from him meant she might not even maintain her third from the bottom status.

Three seats to the front, on the left, were the top two in the class.

After a strategic assessment of the battlefield.

Chen An'an resolutely put on the black pair of glasses.

They were the "Ace Every Exam" super glasses she had bought online for a hefty sum.

Once worn, she could see exceptionally far.

Hehehe...

Dad thought she could only manage to rank third from the bottom.

Today, she would break into the top thirty and show him.

The test papers were distributed.

Chen An'an stared intently at the student in front with good grades.

Unfortunately, after copying a few multiple-choice questions,

the student moved her body, blocking her paper securely.

Chen An'an huffed in irritation, so focused on copying that she forgot she was in an exam hall.

She whispered, "Hey... you in front, move your body a bit, I can't copy."

There were two teachers in the class.

The youthful Shen Qing was standing right behind her at that moment.

She wondered if she was hallucinating.

Could a student truly be this brazen?

This was outright cheekiness in front of her.

Caught up in copying so seriously, Chen An'an hadn't even noticed the teacher standing beside her.

"Chen An'an."

"What is it?"

Shen Qing: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you what you're doing?"

Chen An'an: "Can't you see I'm cheating? Don't distract me."

"Chen An'an, can you turn your head and see who I am?"

Chen An'an turned her head and was immediately taken aback.

"You're Mr. Shen, aren't you?"

"What did you think?"

"Hand over your test paper."

Things turned out fine. Initially, she would have surpassed two others on her own.

But now, she was directly drifting off the track, with no chance to drop back next year.

Chen An'an felt rather helpless and remembered the famous poem.

She failed before she even had started.

Carrying her hands on her back, she left the big exam hall.
