Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Returning to Oneâs Ancestral Roots (16)_1 Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Returning to Oneâs Ancestral Roots (16)_1 Xiu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiaoâs papers were marked by Mr. Gu, the homeroom teacher of their class, and both scored full marks.
Itâs worth mentioning that this time Ruan Lei performed exceptionally well, achieving a full score as well.
The other six students also did quite well, with two scoring above ninety and three scoring above eighty, with one scoring over seventy-five.
Only Qi Weixinâdidnât even pass, scoring just fifty-eight.
Since the math competition papers were fifty percent more difficult than the regular exams, many students across the school failed, but if it were their real performance, it wouldnât be possible to have such a huge gap under the same difficulty level in two consecutive papers.
Qi Weixin going from full marks to failing⊠was truly beyond everyoneâs expectations.
The principal glanced at the math papers for the ninth grade brought by the teacher, sighed, and handed them to Qi Lian: âPrincipal Qi, take a look for yourself.â
Qi Lian stepped forward, took the papers, and although he had known that his daughter wouldnât do well, he hadnât expected it to be this bad.
Even though he had prepared a response and rehearsed the story at home, at that moment he still felt like he had been slapped in the face, finding it extremely embarrassing.
His hand, holding the papers, trembled slightly, and he called out to Qi Weixin, âQi Weixin, come here.â
Qi Weixin, seeing his grim face, approached trembling with fear.
âTell me, whatâs this all about?â he roared, almost slapping the papers against her face, âAh! Tell me, what exactly is going on!â
âDadâŠâ Qi Weixin cried out in fear.
She stuttered out the excuse she had prepared at home: âIâm sorry, it was my fault, I shouldnât have snuck into the administrative office to steal the test papers when you werenât looking, Iâm sorry⊠ahâŠâ
As soon as she finished speaking, the next second she was sent flying to the ground by a slap from Qi Lian.
Qi Lian, seemingly acting out of fury and utter disappointment, had slapped her particularly hard, causing Qi Weixin to fall to the ground and not get up for quite some time.
Qi Weixin was a bit stunned, as this wasnât part of the plan theyâd discussed at home.
Huang Li, feeling terrible for her daughter yet unable to concern herself with anything else, stepped forward to immediately hold her dazed daughter in her arms and shouted at Qi Lian, âYou could have just spoken to her, why hit the child, what if you hurt her for good!â
âItâs because of a mother like you that we have a child who behaves so outrageously!â Qi Lian scolded, his face full of frustration.
Qi Weixin cried loudly in Huang Liâs arms, her voice hoarse, completely unable to understand why everything happening was different from their plan! Her head was buzzing and throbbing with pain, and she felt as if something was trickling out near her ear.
When she touched it, it felt sticky, and upon looking at her hand, she realized it was blood!
âMom! Iâm bleeding!â she screamed, feeling even more pain in her head with the scream.
None of the others had anticipated Qi Lian would lash out all of a sudden, and by the time they realized what was happening, Qi Weixinâs ear was already bleeding.
The principal couldnât be concerned with anything else, quickly stepping forward, âWhat are you waiting for! Get her to the hospital, quick!â
Qi Lian hadnât expected his own slap to be so forceful either; seeing the daughter he always cherished bleeding continuously from her ear, he also panicked, bent down to pick her up, and ran outside.
It was like a farce that had come to an abrupt end.
