Yao Ran had never acted this rashly before. In their eyes, she had always been so gentle, so the way she held the boy's phone was beyond all their imagination.
Seeing her like this, Yang Ming suppressed the urge to flinch in embarrassment.
Why would he work with such an idiot?
This was ridiculous!
Unfortunately, there was no cure for the simmering regret he felt. Under the watchful eyes of many, he was practically bound to her for life.
However, Yao Ran hadn't been able to grab the phone completely. The boy was still able to press the confirm button, which would reveal all their scores.
Within that very second, he had been able to scroll down to her name.
It couldn't be!
His eyes widened. "She scored zero points."
His surprised voice echoed across the hall.
Everyone fell silent. They didn't expect that her score would be this low. The guests quickly scrambled toward the boy, glancing over the mother-and-daughter pair in disbelief.
"Did he read it wrong?"
"It can't be!"
"But she's always been such an outstanding student."
"Are you sure he didn't make a mistake?"
"Madam Yao, is this true?"
Everyone furrowed their eyebrows.
Qin Man's face was flushed with anger and embarrassment, not know where else to look. It was as if somebody had thrown her to the wolves, and she was at a loss for words.
Everyone fell silent.
If it had really been a mistake, the woman would've outspokenly clarified the situation and sued everyone for slandering her daughter. She wouldn't allow herself to be placed in such an awkward situation.
This meant...
This meant that Yao Ran really did score a zero in the Math Olympiad.
They all couldn't help but shake their heads in disappointment.
Qin Man had always bragged about how great her daughter was. But now, it seemed that her daughter had completely fallen short.
The irony!
Had she only been bragging about her daughter all this time? Had she been lying about her achievements?
Something shifted in their gazes as they stared at them in ridicule.
Qin Man felt her heart skip a beat.
Yao Ran had never worried her this much.
She had used to be so proud of her, but now, Yao Ran made her and the entire Yao Family a laughing stock.
Was she really that unlucky?
Her biological daughter had already betrayed them, and now...
Now, her adopted daughter had humiliated her!
Thinking of this, the resentment in her heart grew as she turned to the woman who had ordered her son to check the results. When she saw who it was, her face darkened.
It was that woman's fault! She had always been so jealous of the Yao Family.
However, now wasn't the time to point fingers. She must find a way to subdue this situation.
Qin Man forced a smile into her lips. "Everyone, please calm down. They may have made a mistake. Ranran's results is pretty good this time around, so please if we could just celebrate Grandmother's birthday today while we address this matter some other day."
Of course, that didn't satisfy the people at the scene.
They all booed at them!
No one could understand how an excellent student like Yao Ran would get zero points in the Math Olympiad.
"My son had participated in the Math Olympiad as well," the lady said, raising her head. "The An Family has been paying close attention to the competition, and I've never heard them register scores incorrectly before."
This meant that the results could not be wrong.
"I also didn't check wrongly!" The boy flushed. "I really did check Yao Ran's score. Here's her info! A student from No. 1 High School in A City. Even the class section matches!"
Qin Man gritted her teeth.
If there was no mistake, then wouldn't that mean that Yao Ran's results were really zero?
