Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.
Chapter 256 Jiang Yan ranked first in the national exam
"How could there be none?" Wenrou asked, looking puzzled.
At this moment, those who had checked their scores started cheering, while those who hadn't done well quietly left.
Although Jiang Yan did not see his own name, his expression did not change.
He certainly believed in himself, but why wasn't he included? He was probably overlooked.
"Where's Brother Jiang Yan? Mom, I can't find Brother Jiang Yan's name."
"I didn't find it either."
The two children were also very confused at this point.
Someone nearby recognized Wenrou and Jiang Yan, and mocked, "No names, so they didn't pass the exam."
Wenrou knew that this person had a good relationship with Fang Ting. Her child was in the same class as Jiang Yan and usually ranked in the middle of the class in exams.
Her son scored a little over 300 points and barely managed to get into a third-rate university in another province.
Jiang Yan's name is known throughout the school. Not only in academics, but even the military compound praises him as a genius.
Such an outstanding person naturally attracts the envy of many, and the person who just spoke was one of them.
This is his son's third time taking the college entrance exam, and he only scored a little over 300 points. He's already 21 years old, and he can barely get into university.
Jiang Yan was only thirteen years old, yet he was able to take the college entrance examination, putting him on the same starting line as her son. Naturally, she felt very uncomfortable about this.
Everyone around her heard what she just said, and at the same time, everyone looked in the direction of Jiang Yan and Wenrou.
"That's right, Jiang Yan's name isn't on it."
"Wasn't he supposed to be some kind of child prodigy, always ranking in the top three of his grade? His grades are so good, how come his name isn't on this list? Did he really not get into university?"
"I've heard that some people will try every means to cheat on exams just to save face. Maybe they got such good grades by cheating. Once they encounter a strict, large-scale exam like the college entrance exam, their true colors will be revealed."
"I knew it. There's no such thing as a child prodigy. It's true that he skipped grades before, but the college entrance exam is probably too difficult for him. It's normal that he won't pass."
Hearing the sounds around her, Wenrou's expression changed slightly.
"You're talking nonsense. My brother Jiang Yan is smart, he's a genius. He must have missed his name. There's no way he couldn't have failed the college entrance exam."
When Yun Yao heard these people talking about Jiang Yan, she stood in front of Jiang Yan and loudly defended him.
Yun Shu looked at Wenrou and Jiang Yan, also very worried.
"Then why isn't his name on the list? He just didn't pass the exam. What kind of genius is he? Aren't he ashamed?" Someone nearby said sarcastically again.
"Let's go home first." Wenrou ignored these people and took the children back home to think of a solution later.
But once they returned to the military compound, news quickly spread that Jiang Yan had failed the university entrance exam.
Fang Ting heard the news as soon as she got off work. Fang Xinyou, who was next to her, was also very surprised when she heard that Jiang Yan had not been admitted to university.
She is now in junior high school. Although Fang Ting has never been very kind to her, she still supports her to continue her studies.
She had heard that Jiang Yan's grades had always been very good, but she never expected that he would not even pass the college entrance examination.
She was the same age as Jiang Yan, so she was always envious when she heard that Jiang Yan had skipped a grade.
But now that I hear he didn't get into university, I feel a little better.
It seems that Jiang Yan is just a little smarter than the average person; calling him a genius is an exaggeration.
So what if you skipped a grade? You still failed the college entrance exam, didn't you?
Everyone in the military compound is talking about Jiang Yan's matter now, and Huo Yanchuan has also heard about it as soon as he returned to the compound.
He certainly didn't believe Jiang Yan hadn't passed the exam, so he was very puzzled.
As soon as Huo Yanchuan opened the door, Yun Yao ran over.
"Dad, Jiang Yan doesn't have any college entrance exam scores. Please think of something quickly," Yun Yao said anxiously, tugging at Huo Yanchuan's arm.
Wenrou also came over at this time. She didn't know anyone from the Education Bureau, so she thought she would wait for Huo Yanchuan to come back and see if he had any ideas.
"Xiao Yan, what exactly happened?" Wenrou asked.
"Don't worry, I'll go find out what's going on first," Huo Yanchuan reassured them before heading out again.
Wenrou could only wait for news at home with the children. She looked at Jiang Yan and comforted him, "Xiao Yan, it's okay. Once your Uncle Huo has found out the answer, we'll see how many points you got."
"I know, and don't worry, I know my own score." Jiang Yan was very calm.
Hearing him say that, Wenrou felt relieved.
Wenrou never expected that in just half a day, everyone in the compound would know about it.
In the hallway, many people were discussing this matter.
Everyone says that Jiang Yan's previous test scores must have been fake, otherwise how could he have performed so poorly in the college entrance examination?
Fang Ting was the most pleased at this moment. She had never liked Wenrou, and now that she finally had a chance to see her make a fool of herself, she certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
Everyone in the compound is waiting to see what happens to Wenrou's family. Wenrou is furious when she hears those noises, even inside the house.
However, she also knew that the more this was the case, the calmer she needed to remain.
Huo Yanchuan didn't return until evening after he went out.
During this time, Xiao Xun also called. After learning about the situation, he, like Huo Yanchuan, was trying to find a solution.
"How is it? What should we do about Xiao Yan's matter?" Wenrou asked Huo Yanchuan hurriedly.
She couldn't muster the energy to do anything else today because this matter wasn't resolved.
"The people from the Education Bureau said the grades are normal, and that Xiao Yan has been admitted to the Physics Department of Peking University, so we can relax."
Huo Yanchuan was also puzzled. Jiang Yan clearly did well on the exam, so why wasn't his name mentioned when the results were announced?
"You got accepted?" Wenrou was taken aback when she heard this.
Now that she's been accepted, she can finally relax.
The next morning, Wenrou was woken up by a knock on the door before she even got up.
She opened the door and saw Tan Lin standing there with a happy expression on her face.
"Xiaorou, congratulations! Xiaoyan did so well on his exam this time that even people from the newspaper are vying to interview him." Tan Lin couldn't wait to tell Wenrou the good news.
Wenrou was still completely bewildered. "What do you mean?"
"You don't know yet, Xiao Yan got the best score in the country. The full score is 690, and he scored 685."
Tan Lin became even more excited when she saw that Wenrou was still unaware.
She rushed over as soon as she heard the news, ready to celebrate with Wenrou and Jiang Yan.
"The military compound is now plastered with banners. Xiao Yan has really brought honor to our family this time."
Tan Lin had already seen those banners when she arrived; they were incredibly impressive.
Soon, people from the newspaper also came looking for them.
"Number one in the country?" Wenrou's eyes widened upon hearing this news.
At this moment, Jiang Yan also came out and happened to hear the news.
"Xiao Yan, you're amazing!" Tan Lin gave him a thumbs up when she saw him.
I heard that Jiang Yan's exam paper has been used as a display template and is posted on the glass railing of the Education Bureau.
Soon, people from the newspaper came knocking on their door.
Everyone in the military compound is talking about how Jiang Yan got the top score in the country; now everyone knows it.
At this moment, the people who had been discussing things so enthusiastically in the hallway were all silent.
Fang Ting, in particular, looked extremely displeased when she saw the people from the newspaper office.
She had initially been reluctant to let Jiang Yan accept newspaper interviews because she was worried it would disturb his studies, but now she didn't stop him.
"Such a good thing should definitely be publicized more, so I'll have to trouble the colleagues at the newspaper." She said with a gentle smile.
"To avoid people saying that my son Xiaoyan didn't do well on the exam or that he cheated."
The gentle words were directed at those who had been gossiping before, and at this moment, they all dared not utter a sound.
"That's right, who said our Xiaoyan didn't do well on the exam? We were number one in the country! If I hear any of you talking about this again, I, Tan Lin, will be the first to not let her off the hook."
Tan Lin's gaze swept over those people at this moment, her tone carrying a warning.
Jiang Yan wasn't particularly excited about achieving the top score in the country; he acted as usual.
However, upon hearing Wenrou's words, he agreed to the newspaper's interview.
Just as the newspaper staff finished their interview, a television reporter arrived.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to agree to be interviewed by the television station.
After finally finishing the interview, Wenrou quickly saw the person out.
"Brother Jiang Yan, you're so amazing!" Yun Yao ran out of the room at this moment, looking at Jiang Yan with admiration.
They were incredibly impressed by what Jiang Yan said during the interview.
With such an outstanding older brother, how could the two of them not be happy?
"I'm going to buy groceries in a bit, and we'll have a big family celebration tonight," Wenrou said happily.
"I'll go with you; I'll be in for a treat tonight," Tan Lin said with a smile.
On her way to buy groceries, many people in the compound saw Wenrou and came to congratulate her, casting envious glances at her.
"I always said that Xiao Yan is a promising kid. It's not that he didn't pass the exam, it's that he did so well. Of course, the results have to be kept until the end."
"You're right, this child is really outstanding."
"That's because Director Huo and his wife raised him so well. If I had such an outstanding son, I would definitely want to brag about him over a loudspeaker."
Hearing these voices, Fang Ting, who had previously mocked Jiang Yan for not doing well on the exam, and her friends are now too afraid to go out.
That evening, Wenrou called Xiao Xun and invited him over as well.
To celebrate Jiang Yan's excellent exam results, Wenrou specially prepared a large table of dishes.
The news of a 13-year-old national college entrance examination champion caused a sensation across the country as soon as it was broadcast.
The next day, Wenrou saw the news on television and in the newspaper.
Upon receiving the news, Wen Jiguang immediately sent his congratulations to Wenrou.
Of course, the happiest person was Li Xiuying. She had always treated Jiang Yan like her own grandson, and she wanted everyone to know that he had achieved such good results.
Jiang Yan was just going through the motions with the interview. He never expected that once the news aired, he would become famous overnight, and the label of "genius boy" would be impossible to remove now.
As soon as he stepped out, many people cast curious and admiring glances his way.
He was already quiet and introverted, and now because of this incident, he's even more afraid to go out.
He's just hoping school will start soon, and everything will be fine once he gets there.
Or perhaps they hope this matter will pass quickly, and that it will go unnoticed if possible.
He wanted to keep a low profile, but his abilities didn't allow him to.
Not only Jiang Yan, but even the principal of Bayi Middle School was interviewed.
Jiang Yan has brought honor to the military region, so he was awarded a bonus of one hundred yuan.
Although the prize money wasn't much, it wasn't something everyone could receive, and it was an honor for Jiang Yan.
This matter continued until just before the start of the school term, when the hype finally began to die down.
To his surprise, he was surrounded by onlookers again on his very first day reporting to Peking University.
"This must be Jiang Yan, the genius boy who got the top score in the national exam. He's really amazing."
"Yeah, tell me, how did that person's brain even develop? They both got into Peking University, but they were only thirteen years old."
"If he finishes college at seventeen, by the time he finishes his doctorate, most people will be in their thirties, while he'll only be in his early twenties. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others."
Jiang Yan glanced at the group of people expressionlessly, said nothing, and slowly turned to walk towards the registration area.
He is a physics major and definitely needs to pursue a doctorate so he can work in a national research institute and become like his parents.
After starting university, Jiang Yan could no longer live at home and had to stay at the university.
Kyoto University isn't close to home, and Wenrou originally wanted to bring him over, but since the two children happened to have something to do, she asked Xiao Xun to take him to the school instead.
Jiang Yan asked him to see him to the door, and then he took his luggage and went to register.
His college roommates were quite different from what he had imagined. When he was in middle school, he lived with people from the surrounding area.
But university was different; he lived in a dormitory with six other people, all from different parts of the country.
The six of them even had six different accents, making it difficult to understand what the other person was saying.
Mandarin is not yet widely spoken, so people can only communicate using their local dialects.
However, Jiang Yan didn't have that problem, because he didn't interact much with other people.
The others took good care of Jiang Yan because he was so young.
The oldest among them was thirty years old, and it took them several years to finally get into Peking University.
Unsurprisingly, the oldest person became the dormitory head.
Speaking in a Sichuan dialect, he said to Jiang Yan, "I'm older than you. If you ever need anything, just come to me. I'll protect you."
Jiang Yan didn't speak, but simply said "thank you" in a low voice.
The others didn't think much of Jiang Yan's coldness; after all, geniuses are often lonely.
Wenrou was initially worried that someone might bully Jiang Yan, but when she arrived at Jiang Yan's school dormitory and saw how well they took care of him, she felt relieved.
