Xi Wenjing returned home with light steps, where her parents were leaning against each other watching TV.

"Wenjing, you're back~"

"Mom and Dad, the midterm results are out." Xi Wenjing's lips curled up slightly.

"Ah, oh, okay," Mother Gao Lan replied casually, and then fell silent.

Xi Wenjing's smile was a little stiff; it wasn't what she had expected.

Xi Wenjing stormed up to the TV, blocking her parents' view.

"Sigh...daughter, you must be tired from the exam. Why don't you play by yourself for a while? Your mother and I are watching TV," said the father, Xi Linsong, as if he were shooing her away.

"By the way, Wenjing, I still haven't finished translating that English document. I'm tired, could you translate it for me while you're at it? There's just a tiny bit left, please, Mommy, I'm begging you~mua love you." Mother Gao Lan added, then hugged her husband's arm and leaned to the other side, craning her neck to watch TV.

The couple, one a lawyer and the other a university English teacher, rarely have such leisure time.

Xi Wenjing's temples throbbed. "I've improved!"

"My daughter is amazing."

"How much progress have you made?"

The couple gave perfunctory answers one after the other.

"Hehe, okay."

"Bang!"

Zhang Li slammed the report card on the table, her voice sharp and sarcastic.

"You failed everything! Zhao Qihang, I work during the day and study with you at night, I take care of you from dawn till dusk, I send you to tutoring classes, I buy you practice tests, I've spared no expense in nurturing you, and this is how you repay me!"

"Look at them, we're both students, how come there's such a big difference? I really can't count on you at all, say something!"

"Aren't you ashamed of getting such a bad score? Have you no shame?"

"Say something!"

Cold sarcasm rained down on Zhao Qihang, but he didn't dare say a word, keeping his head down and standing there as punishment.

Zhang Li's chest heaved with anger as she continued to look down at her report card.

A quick glance revealed the grade rankings.

Her expression changed when she saw the fifth-ranked class in the grade.

Fifth in the grade, Class 25!

Wasn't that the class taught by that useless teacher, Lu Qian?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Zhang Li's eyes widened; at this moment, the disbelief in her heart surpassed the anger she had felt just moments before.
