The entry score requirement for each tier had been published, and the requirement for second-tier universities was not very high – 532 marks. Meanwhile, the entry requirement for a top-tier university was 589 marks. Even Lu Beichi got into a second-tier university. He had been secretly working hard after Ye Qiao encouraged him.
Ye Zhenzhen was the only one who could not get into any university.
In stark contrast, Ye Qiao had already received an admission letter from J University, majoring in Marketing.
Also, she had already surpassed 365 lucky stars, but Lu Beixiao was still not back yet.
In fact, it was already the 20th of August, so she collected 15 extra stars!
Ye Qiao put her chin on her table and stared at her jar of lucky stars.
“Lu Xiaogun, why isn’t your father back yet? Can you tell me if he’s injured? Why isn’t he back? He didn’t even give me a call!” Ye Qiao said with a raspy voice. Fortunately, she had been swamped this year. In addition to her studies, the company received a lot of orders for making websites. Xiao Mei could not handle the workload by herself, so Ye Qiao helped her out.
She was so busy that she did not have the time to miss him.
“That woman called Gu Xueyan kept visiting Beixiao’s grandparents! She even told people that she’s your dad’s girlfriend! I am so angry! When your dad comes back, I must show off our relationship in front of her!” Ye Qiao sniffed and said.
“Dad is not injured. The graduation ceremony for the Hunter School is very grand. He will be back soon. He will give you a surprise!” Lu Xiaogun answered seriously.
His dad really suffered a lot this year, so Lu Xiaogun felt sad.
Suddenly, there was some noise coming from downstairs.
“Where is my top-scoring sister?! Come and welcome your brother!” Ye Cheng’s voice could be heard from upstairs. Ye Qiao did not think that Grandpa Ye would invite him too.
A few days ago, Grandpa Ye called everyone in the family one by one to invite them for a meal in the mansion to celebrate Ye Qiao’s achievement.
“Yo! It’s been one year and my sister is even more beautiful now!” Ye Cheng was dressed in formal attire. Seeing Ye Qiao come down in her marble white dress, he smiled and complimented her.
“It’s been one year and you are even darker now! How are the others? I miss Da Sha so much! I still haven’t thanked him! Without his hierogram, I would not have been able to get into J University!”
While they chatted, the family members arrived one by one.
To Ye Qiao’s surprise, Ye Zhenzhen returned to her arrogant self.
In the large living room, everyone came except for Ye Cheng’s dad – Ye Qiao’s second uncle – and Ye Shengxun! There were two grandmothers, two paternal aunts with their children, the wives of Ye Qiao’s two paternal uncles, along with Qin Lan and Ye Zhenzhen.
Everyone sat in a circle on the sofa, munching on the nuts and drinking soft drinks.
Her two snobbish grandmothers did not despise her as they typically did. They grabbed her hand and gave her thick envelopes of cash. It was the same for the two aunts. “Although the Ye family is full of successful people, we’ve never had anyone who was admitted to J University!”
“Qiao Qiao, you have made us so proud!”
“Yeah! Qiao Qiao, we have requested a song for you on the radio station. It will be played tonight, and your name will be displayed on the screen!”
Their change in enthusiasm was difficult to adapt to. During New Year, they were just doing this to Ye Zhenzhen! Just a year ago, Ye Qiao was still the illegitimate daughter they despised!
Qin Lan’s expression was gloomy, as expected. She did not say a word.
“Aunties! The top-scorer is not a part of our family!” Ye Zhenzhen walked to the coffee table with a document in her hand. Her voice was high-pitched, and her tone was annoying, as usual.
Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a pink princess dress. She dressed like a princess to steal Ye Qiao’s spotlight! However, no matter how she dressed up, she at most looked like a petty, pretty doll. Ye Qiao, in contrast, was like an elegant swan.
“Zhenzhen! Watch your words!” It was not Grandpa Ye who defended Ye Qiao, but Ye Cheng.
Before Lu Beixiao left, he had warned Ye Cheng to not let anyone bully Ye Qiao! If not, he would be in trouble!
Besides, Ye Cheng also wanted to defend his sister.
Ye Qiao knew that Ye Zhenzhen would create some drama again! But what did she mean by that?
This day was rather surprising as even Ye Cheng was protecting his “fake” sister!
“Zhenzhen, sit down!” Qin Lan instructed. She could sort of guess what her daughter meant.
Ye Zhenzhen smirked sarcastically, not listening to anyone.
“Grandmothers, aunties! The top-scorer that you are all praising is not from the Ye Family! The probability of her being my half-sister is nearly 0! You have all been deceived by her! We are not related by blood at all!” Ye Zhenzhen held on to the DNA report tightly and said loudly.
