?41: 041 Master Duanshui ~ (two chapters combined into one) 41: 041 Master Duanshui ~ (two chapters combined into one) One second, five seconds, ten seconds…
Half a minute passed, and the room remained quiet, as if the scene had frozen.
Finally, Xu He was the first to snap out of it and quickly approached Xia Ye, “Little Tiangao, is this an entrance notification from First Middle School?
Have you been admitted?”
Her eyes were filled with surprise, genuinely delighted.
Xia Yourong stood frozen, her mouth open, and her lips trembling slightly.
Her eyes were fixed on the cover of the document as if she had seen something absurd and laughable.
Wasn’t Xia Ye supposed to be embarrassingly kicked out by the school?
How come she not only avoided embarrassment but also got an entrance notification?
Xia Yuzheng looked at his sons with mixed feelings, “What did you guys do?”
If it was just a matter of paying off, that would be one thing, but with his eldest son being a politician, he was worried…
Xia Tiao immediately understood the deep meaning of his words and a hint of a cryptic cold smile crossed his lips, “When we got there, the principal had already given Little Tiangao the entrance notification.”
Xia Xing added, “She did it on her own, it has nothing to do with us.”
Xia Xian questioned, “Dad, why do I feel that you are a bit…”
In a series of shocks, Xia Yuzheng suddenly froze, turning to look at Xia Ye, “?”
All three sons hadn’t helped?
Although he did not understand why Principal Tian suddenly became so approachable today, faced with his youngest daughter’s clean and pure eyes, Xia Yuzheng felt as if something was blocking his heart, slightly ashamed of his preemptive assumptions.
Not only that, he had even been somewhat angry earlier when he heard from Xiaorong that Yeye was determined to go see Principal Tian.
Seeing him look over, Xia Ye smiled faintly, “Is that okay, Dad?”
Xia Yuzheng took a moment to respond, “Okay about what?”
Without any show of pride, Xia Ye was low-key, “It’s just an entrance now, but it’s not decided which grade yet.
Principal Tian said that if I pass the start-of-term test, then I’ll be allowed to study in senior year.
If I can get into senior year, can I have the room Mom prepared for me?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuzheng felt even worse.
Recalling he had thought about giving her room to her sister just before they got home, Xia Yuzheng felt like there was a fishbone caught in his throat, and after a long while, he finally said quietly, “Yeye, whether you can enter senior year or not, that room is… already prepared by your mother for you…”
Xia Ye smiled slightly, “No need, I can make it.
Don’t worry, I’ll go back to my room to read now.”
If he had shown this resolve a few minutes earlier when Qiao Yufen and Xia Yourong were besieging their mother, it would have indeed been touching.
But now, it missed the mark slightly.
Xu He didn’t care about her husband’s frowning face and looked joyfully at the admission notification, “Little Tiangao, don’t feel pressured.
We don’t ask for great grades, and even if you don’t get into college in the future, it doesn’t matter.
Dad and I just hope you are happy…”
After all, the family doesn’t need elite university graduates for show.
Both the eldest and the third are graduates from elite universities, and they’re not that impressive.
One is a civil servant in the O league, and the other wholesales diamonds on the border.
Thousands of miles away from home, and we don’t see them even once a year.
Xu He felt the same way about Xiaorong.
Although it was Qiao Yufen who asked them to adopt Xiaorong, she truly regarded Xiaorong as her own daughter.
During the most painful period when she lost Little Tiangao, Xiaorong’s arrival indeed offered her some consolation.
So now, she asks for nothing more than for both daughters to grow up safely and happily.
But Xia Yourong was not happy at all, quite the opposite, her expression could not have been uglier—having hoped to claim Xia Ye’s room, that plan had been thwarted too.
She glanced at Qiao Yufen several times, and in the end, not waiting for her grandmother to speak up for her, she harshly returned to her own room.
Qiao Yufen wasn’t not speaking up for her, but she still hadn’t recovered from the unbelievable sensation of having seen Xia Ye’s admission notification earlier.
In her mind, there were only two words.
‘Fake.’
How could First Middle School possibly admit that kind of girl?
“Don’t be fooled by her, her admission notice must be fake…”
Before she could finish the sentence, Qiao Yufen looked around, only to find the living room completely empty, and she was the only one left!

The brothers had intended to go to the study to discuss tutoring Xia Ye, but halfway there, they remembered the books they had bought were still in the car and turned back.
Previously, while driving home, they had deliberately passed by the library to buy a full set of textbooks for Little Tiangao.
From middle school to high school.
Although Little Tiangao had been abducted before graduating from kindergarten, the knowledge he had self-studied at home could already reach the level of a primary school student.
They planned to divide the books among themselves and cram tonight.
The eldest and the third had both been top students, but having graduated so many years ago and only accustomed to self-learning, they had never taught anyone else before.
Xia Xing had spent his school days playing video games, yet despite that, his grades were not bad, just a bit inferior compared to the eldest and the third.
He only claimed the biology book for himself.
He took out the books, kept biology for himself, and tossed the others to his brothers, recalling what had just happened, he casually asked, “When we just entered, what did Yourong say to Mom?
Did you guys hear?
I think Mom’s expression was a bit off.”
When they entered, Xia Yourong had just finished saying, “How about I move in first, and let the little sister wait a bit longer?”
Xia Xian was quite annoyed, “I didn’t hear, but it definitely wasn’t anything good.”
Xia Tiao knew that the third brother had always been biased against the eldest sister, “Don’t say that, after all, we didn’t hear it, you should have accepted the eldest sister after all these years…”
Xia Xian despised the way the eldest brother acted like a master of carrying water, just like their father.
He admitted he wasn’t a saint and couldn’t embrace everything, the eldest sister was adopted by grandma and his parents without his agreement.
From the beginning, he had determined that he only had one sister, Little Tiangao.
“Big brother, I just want to ask you, if one day Yourong bullies Little Tiangao, whose side will you take?”
Xia Tiao glanced at Xia Xian’s rakish black earring and narrowed his eyes, “What are you always thinking about in your head?
Why would Yourong bully Little Tiangao under normal circumstances?”
He was about to go back to his room, but Xia Xian blocked his way, “Hypothetically, can’t we have a more pleasant conversation?”
Xia Tiao stopped and his eyes flashed coldly, “Asking knowingly.”
Xia Xian got the answer he wanted and smiled.
“Alright, alright, let’s get inside,” urged Xia Xing.
They didn’t notice that not far away, a window of a room was open, and a figure suddenly retreated back into the room.
That was Xia Yourong’s room.
Xia Yourong gripped her hands tightly, her lips also turning white.
She knew, no matter how hard she tried, she would never surpass that wild girl in their hearts!
If things continued like this, she would soon have no place in the Xia Family.
She absolutely couldn’t let this happen…
