Everyone was curious about Yao Tang. This mystery girl had seemed to amaze them time and time again.
However, they didn't know what Yao Ran's intentions were. All she wanted to show was how disrespectful her cousin had been for not going.
She was obviously trying to point out the girl's faults.
The couple exchanged a panicked glance, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes.
Yao Ran was doing this on purpose.
The worst part was they couldn't even contact her at the moment. That meant they also didn't know what had been holding her up. They pursed their lips.
Yao Rong didn't know how to explain this situation to their guests.
At this point, their hands were tied.
The old man was about to pick up his wine glass to apologize to the guests. However, before he could even get the words out, he already heard his son's words echoing across the room.
Yao Yan glanced over at his cousin with a smile.
"You shouldn't really worry about my sister. Besides, you've always been wanting Tangtang to teach you Math, right? Your results must be pretty good, I'm assuming."
"That way, she'd know where to teach you. Unless, of course, you've also been able to score perfectly on your finals like what Auntie had claimed."
Jiang Wan slowly smiled.
It seemed that her son was really capable.
Only they knew that Yao Ran had scored a zero. But they didn't want to say it out loud in consideration of the girl's reputation.
What they didn't expect was for their hand to be bitten by her insatiable greed.
Forget it.
It wasn't time to dwell on the guilt now after she had directed all that to their family.
"That's right. Miss Yao Ran's score has yet to be announced, so she must've done quite well in her exams, right?" The guests all turned to them expectantly.
"For her to get a perfect score, wow! The Yao Family is amazing!"
"Miss Yao Ran, what's your score?"
"Today, we can both celebrate the two geniuses of the Yao Family."
They were all smiling from ear to ear.
They all didn't feel that Yao Ran had scored badly. They thought that if they had pushed her a little bit, they might know how the other genius was faring, which was all the better if she had been able to match up with Yao Tang's score.
However, what they didn't expect was for their words to act like a death warrant.
Qin Man froze.
If all of them found out about this, Yao Ran's reputation as a top student would forever be ruined!
They'd all laugh at her!
"Now that most of the guests have arrived, it's really unnecessary to dwell on these things." Qin Man faked a smile, waving her hands. "Please, eat! There are still plenty of desserts waiting to be served in the kitchen. For now, we shall start the main course."
For now, she could only change the topic.
If everyone were focused on something else, they wouldn't ask about Yao Ran's results.
No one would know.
"I really am sorry for making everyone wait this long."
Qin Man shot them an apologetic smile.
However, one of the noble ladies rolled her eyes. She had long disliked Qin Man, and she knew how arrogant this woman was! If Yao Ran had really done well in the Math Olympiad, she would've bragged all about it.
It was obvious that the child hadn't been able to do well this time.
"Miss Ranran has always been at the top of her class, so she must have done well in the competition. Miss Yao, you shouldn't be modest!"
Everyone automatically agreed.
Her friends all hid a smile. All of them were looking forward to see Qin Man make a fool of herself.
Her usually arrogant attitude had annoyed these noble ladies to no end.
Moreover, this had been brought up by the Young Master of the Yao Family. They all knew of his capabilities. If they could impress him now, wouldn't that also be a good thing?
They glanced over at the young man.
Perhaps, he might even invest in their family businesses in the future as well.
