"Nothing, it's just that now that I only have myself to depend on, I can't just sit and wait till something comes..."
Rong Yue said nothing for a while, she knew Wu Hao's family condition, and she remembered that later in the future, things had really changed for him, including his family.
From his words now, it seemed he had separated from this family right now.
"I'll listen to it soon," Rong Yue finally said. Even if she was concerned, it wasn't a conversation she wanted to have here.
"Also, the Principal said he has been trying to reach you, the pressure from the universities that want you is quite a lot,"
In just a day, many cars had arrived in City A high school. It was a small city and news travelled fast.
"Hmmm, I understand."
She was about to end the call when something crossed her mind, "Wu Hao, it's not okay for my mom to stay alone, can you stay with her for a while?"
Before, she had wasted all her care on the wrong people, now, she wanted to help the people that genuinely cared for her.
Wu Hao was just out from high school, regardless of how he made it sound, she knew that him staying in some hotel or lodge was not good for him.
Since she wasn't at home, he might as well stay with her.
"Yue'er..." Wu Hao started, wanting to refuse her indirect offer.
"It's only until you come to the capital. I'll also come back soon,"
Wu Hao said nothing but Rong Yue could already tell that he had agreed.
"I'll send you the address."
Qin Yichen's brows crinkled as he heard their conversation. The penthouse he had gotten for them had only two rooms. If Wu Hao moved there, wouldn't he have to stay in Rong Yue's room?
His face darkened as he thought of that and he snatched the phone out of her hands.
"He's a man and needs his space if he is going through something. Also, how can you randomly invite a boy into your house? Am I dead in your eyes?"
Although his words were bitter, his tone and expression made Rong Yue unable to get angry. What was with this grievous expression?
"When I had no one on my team, he was willing to go out there for me,"
Her words hung in the air, both of them not saying anything but clearly in their thoughts.
Eventually, Qin Yichen gave in first. "Let him stay in my place, it's just across and your mom can still have important meals with him,"
Rong Yue thought about it for a while and nodded. Wu Hao would also have his space, after all, her mom usually had to go to Lyfe everyday and couldn't stay with him at home.
With both of them agreeing, she called her mom to inform her of the arrangements.
Rong Xia didn't mind, especially since he was going to be in the next house.
"I only get back later in the evening now, it's better that he stays there..." she had met Wu Hao once or twice and knew that he wasn't the type to talk much.
Rong Yue's brows scrunched slightly and Qin Yichen smiled as he saw the unwillingness.
"It's the best way to deal with the matter. Since the both of them didn't relent, we can only make them take the papers again!"
Since she barely had any time for the internet, Lu San took up the task and gave her a quick briefing.
"Miss Tong Yang has refused to relent and spent the last two days creating a petition against the Ministry. The only way to make her give up completely is if she has to defend her own results."
Rong Yue's brows raised after hearing what Lu San said.
Something like that happened? She had planned to go easy on Tong Yang and let her enjoy for a while. Who would have thought that she would reject the offer?
"Since it's that way, I have no choice than to go."
On the other hand, Tong Yang had spent the last day doing live streams where she swore that she had full marks.
The mother, daughter pair had been unable to reach Zhou Fan and took matters into their own hands.
Tong Yang even started a petition requesting for her script to be reevaluated.
Humans were easy to sway and soon some people started to feel like maybe she was indeed cheated.
If she wasn't confident, why would she make such a demand from the Ministry of Education.
The more people made that analysis, the more support Tong Yang got. After two days, she already had about five thousand signatures to her online petition.
Some of the onlookers also signed out of curiosity.
They didn't have anything to lose. If she was really cheated, they would have a show to watch. If Tong Yang was being delusional, they would also be there to scold her.
On the second day, Tong Yang was invited by the Ministry of Education with the request to come with one of her guardians.
Naturally, her mother accompanied her.
Today, the both of them alighted at the capital airport and Tong Yang's face broke into a smile.
"Mom, thank goodness that I didn't give up!" Tong Yang said with a sigh.
She knew that the papers with her name on it was now Rong Yue's papers. Once they brought the paper out in front of everyone, she would be the one to walk away with full marks.
As their hired cab drove through the streets in the capital, Tong Yang's longing for being here increased tremendously.
"Mom, I must attend a school in the capital!" Her eyes shone with determination and a type of hunger towards everything she saw around her.
She didn't just want a school in the capital, she wanted the best school!
She wanted the way everyone praised her when they heard she got full marks.
All the jealous and envious gazes. And the ones filled with admiration, she wanted it all!
The both of them settled into silence, taking in the beauty of what the capital was. By the time they arrived at the Ministry of Education, Tong Yang's fists were clenched from determination and anxiety.
