?40: 040 Admission Notice (Two Updates Combined) 40: 040 Admission Notice (Two Updates Combined) “Please have a seat…” Tian Hanwen couldn’t help but glance at Xia Ye.
With her elder sister’s handwritten recommendation letter, now there are three such distinguished brothers here.
This little girl…
“In fact, I had already agreed to your sister’s admission application, but the main issue now is…”
Xia Tiao: “But please speak freely.”
Tian Hanwen narrowed his eyes.
It was good that they came, all being respectable adults, thinking more rationally than children, capable of persuading this little girl.
“Your sister wants to directly enter the twelfth grade.
How is that possible?
She doesn’t listen to what I say.
Please talk to her…”
Xia Xing tilted his head: “Persuade about what?”
Xia Xian: “What?
Your school can’t accommodate her?”
Xia Tiao also looked quite puzzled.
Their most beloved Little Tiangao, they would do anything for her, even pluck the moon from the sky if she wished.
Directly entering the twelfth grade, what’s the issue?
Tian Hanwen’s hand holding his tea cup trembled.
Xia Ye didn’t want to make it too hard for her little brother and after thinking for a moment said, “Let’s have a test.”
The four across from her all looked up at once.
Xia Ye: “A test, And if she passes, she can join the twelfth grade, how about that?”
Tian Hanwen thought it was a good idea: “In that case, after school starts, we will prepare a set of twelfth-grade exams for her.
As long as she passes the minimum standard, she can join the twelfth grade.
If not, she will start from the ninth grade as advised.
You have these few days to prepare.”
Xia Tiao nodded slightly: “Big brother can tutor you in language and foreign languages, which are his strengths.”
Xia Xian: “Physics, chemistry, and math, I’ll handle.”
Xia Xing thought for a moment: “Then, I will take…
biology.”
Xia Ye curved her lips.
Alright then.
One cannot be too ostentatious all at once.
Finally, having reached an agreement, Tian Hanwen saw them out.
He walked ahead with Xia Ye.
Along the way, with hands behind his back, they chatted and laughed.
Xia Ye, this little girl, really resembles her elder sister.
Whether in a smile or her demeanor.
He found her likable.
The three brothers walked behind, all quite puzzled.
“Principal Tian is actually quite easy to talk to, isn’t he?”
“Was Dad exaggerating a bit too much?”
“He said even using connections, we wouldn’t get to meet.
Was he really not trying?”
(Xia Yuzheng: Crying to death!)

As the four siblings headed back, little did they know Qiao Yufen was stirring up trouble at home again.
When she heard from Xu He that the room was being prepared for Xia Ye, her face immediately darkened.
Knowing that Xia Ye had disregarded the Xia Family’s reputation to embarrass herself at Beijing No.1 Middle School made her even more furious.
Commanding with her head held high and without consulting others, “Xiaorong, pack up your stuff.
Once that large room is renovated, it’s yours!”
Actually, the room Xia Yourong originally had was also beautifully arranged by Xu He with all the eco-friendly and expensive furniture.
But since those major brands innovate every year, the newly arranged room would undoubtedly look prettier than the old one.
Xia Yourong was jealous.
Xu He knew that even though she had married into the Xia Family many years ago and had given birth to three excellent sons, Qiao Yufen still hadn’t changed her opinion of her.
The attitude she held toward her daughter and her sister’s daughter was completely different.
Although she knew about the favoritism, she never imagined it could reach this extent!
“Mom, Xiaorong and Yeye are both your granddaughters, how can you be so biased?
Besides, Yeye has just returned, you should be paying more attention to her!”
Qiao Yufen clearly felt that after Xia Ye’s return, Xu He was not as easy to control as before; just in these few days, she had talked back several times.
“It’s because she just got back!
You all should care more about Xiaorong!” Qiao Yufen said with a blaming tone, looking at Xia Yuzheng, “Didn’t you promise me you would treat them equally?
What is your wife doing now?
Giving her own daughter such a good room, is that fair to Xiaorong?”
Xia Yuzheng was somewhat at a loss, lit a cigarette, opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Xia Yourong tugged at Qiao Yufen’s sleeve, her cautious demeanor resembling a wrongly accused little rabbit, “Grandma, this room was specially prepared by Mom for my sister, it was never meant for me…”
Upon hearing this, Xu He felt even sadder and took her hand, “Xiaorong, in Mom’s heart, you and your sister are equally important.
Actually, Mom also ordered the same set of furniture for you as for your sister; it’s just going to take a little longer to be ready.
When it’s done, Mom will also redecorate your room…”
“No,” Qiao Yufen immediately vetoed, “Xiaorong is starting school soon, she must have the best!”
Xu He looked at Xia Yourong with difficulty, “Xiaorong, your sister is currently in a children’s room, and the bed is still from when she was little…”
She thought of her eldest daughter, who was usually the most understanding, and felt sure she wouldn’t make things difficult at this time.
Who knew that after hearing her words, her daughter silently let go of her hand, “Mom, I don’t really mind.
Mainly it’s Grandma… perhaps I can move there first, and later when the new furniture arrives, if it still isn’t ready… just let my sister wait a bit longer…”
Xu He was at a loss for words, “This…”
Seeing her hesitation, Qiao Yufen was ready to finalize the matter, “Then it’s settled.
The Xia family has so many rooms, it’s not like there’s nowhere to stay.
That room will be for Xiaorong.
The exams at First Middle School are numerous and the academic pressure is immense, especially in the senior year.
Your own daughter will at most attend an art school, it’s a waste for her to stay in such a nice room!”
Xia Yuzheng finished his cigarette and stubbed it out in an ashtray.
It’s not that he didn’t feel pity for Yeye, but he wished more for peace at home; moreover, the old lady’s words did make some sense with so many rooms in the house…
Thinking this, he was about to smooth things over when he turned his head and suddenly noticed the four siblings who had been standing at the door at some point.
“Yeye…”
The brothers, having listened for a while, were already furious, especially Xia Xian.
Of the three sons, he had always been the most rebellious and held the most reservations towards Xia Yourong.
Seeing his expression change, Xia Yourong instinctively hid behind Qiao Yufen.
Ah, they came back?
They must have picked up someone from the security room, right?
Xia Xian licked his cheek, just about to step forward, when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.
It was a hand as translucent as jade, beautiful in bone structure.
Xia Ye pushed past her brothers who were in front of her, casually walked forward with one hand in her pocket.
“Is senior year in high school a reason to have that room?”
Her voice, like her demeanor, conveyed a feeling of extreme indifference.
Actually, she didn’t care where she lived, as long as it pleased her ancestors.
She would happily stay in a thatched cottage, unless it went against her wishes…
Qiao Yufen was startled, “What?”
After asking, she realized what was being implied, and said haughtily, “That depends on which high school’s senior year we’re talking about.”
The implication was clear: don’t even dream about it if it’s a school like No.
11 High School.
Xia Ye withdrew her gaze and resumed her indifferent expression, holding something in her hand and extending it forward, “Of course, Beijing No.1 Middle School…”
The people inside the room didn’t understand her point at first, but their eyes followed to the document in her hand.
The cover had seven big characters.
‘Beijing No.1 Middle School Admission Notification.’
