Chapter 234: Chapter 227: Results Announcement
Of course, Tang Zhinian would never allow his daughter to go out alone again. It was simply too dangerous. This time he was almost sick with worry.
And Xu Miaomiao’s father also felt the same way.
As soon as they arrived, they heard Chen Lidong’s father inside, scolding his son with a booming voice. And under the shouting of his father, Chen Lidong was mostly seen hanging his head.
“Tell me, how old are you?” Chen’s father turned around and forcefully slapped his son’s forehead.
“Are you a man or not? What’s the use of being tall if you can’t even act as one? When Miaomiao went missing, and Yuxin went to look for her, why didn’t you go? Why didn’t you? Why let a girl do it alone? Are you even a man?”
“Dad, I’m still a boy.”
Chen Lidong felt really wronged, wronged to death.
“Get lost!” Chen’s father kicked out impolitely and hit his son’s butt.
“You’re not even as useful as a girl. Look how brave Yuxin is. Why didn’t you go with her at the time?”
“Dad, they wanted a girl.”
Chen Lidong was utterly dejected. He was a boy, of course they didn’t want him. What good was he if he couldn’t become someone’s wife?
“Can’t you pretend to be a girl?” Chen’s father was astounded by his son’s stupidity.
“Dad, with my looks, no one would think I am a girl.”
Chen Lidong really wanted to cry. How could a girl look like this?
Although, he was confident in his grades and was sure he could get into a key high school, but what if something unexpected happened? What if he really didn’t get in? What if he was off by a few points?
Nowadays, everyone said he was useless. He had begun to lose self-confidence.
With a mournful face, he said, “Why didn’t you let me go with you at the time?”
Tang Yuxin looked up from her book. They wanted a girl, a beautiful girl,
“First, you’re not pretty; second, you’re not a girl. But you’re doing very well so far,” Tang Yuxin reached out and patted Chen Lidong’s head comfortingly. “It’s just that the adults are being strict with you. You did the right thing by reporting to the police and notifying our parents.”
Chen Lidong finally regained some confidence. He puffed up his chest, “I knew it, I didn’t do anything wrong. They just don’t understand me, Tang Yuxin, you are truly my good sister.”
Tang Yuxin rubbed her own arm, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
“By the way,” Chen Lidong was still concerned about his grades, “Do you think I didn’t make it to high school?”
“You’ll know once you check the results,” Tang Yuxin didn’t want to answer such a dumb question. They would find out soon, so why bother guessing here and make themselves nervous?
“Okay,” Chen Lidong stopped asking Tang Yuxin. He went to Xu Miaomiao. They were in the same boat, and Tang Yuxin, the study monster, was someone they couldn’t understand, a person they could only look up to.
Tang Yuxin went to school to check her middle school exam results. This year the cut-off for high school was 547 points. The school had a honor roll for those students who were admitted to vocational schools and many students were admitted.
Tang Yuxin, Chen Lidong and Xu Miaomiao were all determined to go to high school, so they didn’t apply to those schools. Their teacher, Liu, greeted them with a smiling face. Judging by her expression, their results must have been pretty good.
After receiving the report card, Tang Yuxin checked her own results. She scored 650 which was more than a hundred points higher than the general admission line and seventy points over the threshold for the key high schools. This should be a good result.
“I scored 580 points,” Xu Miaomiao jumped with joy. “Great, I didn’t think I did so well!”
“Chen Lidong, how about you?”
