Chapter 1391: There’s No Choice, Your Sister Nian Is Just Popular

The software compet.i.tion itself was very professional. It was not as attractive to ordinary people as celebrity gossip even if it was a high-level compet.i.tion.

But this time was different. Many people were paying attention to the finals.

Rather than saying that the residents of Rao City were paying attention to the compet.i.tion itself, it was more accurate to say that they were paying attention to the person representing their country in this compet.i.tion—Qiao Nian!

This year, the national top scorer was someone from Rao City’s First High School, who scored a heaven-defying 750 points in the college entrance examination.

Not only did it refresh the highest score in the history of Rao City’s First High School, but it also refreshed the best score in Rao City’s college entrance examination in so many years.

Many parents hoped that their daughter would be like Qiao Nian and get a heaven-defying score.

They didn’t expect their children to score full marks in the college entrance examination like Qiao Nian. It would be good if they could get into a first-tier university.

Therefore, ever since the results of the college entrance examination came out in June, many people in the streets and alleys of Rao City had been talking about this college entrance examination top scorer. The words that they loved the most when educating their children were, “Look at so-and-so, she’s so smart and so pretty, you have to learn from her” and so on.

Of course, gossip arose when there was discussion.

Qiao Nian’s background was the main focus of everyone’s gossip. In particular, the Qiao family had picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, kicking out the top scorer of the national college entrance examination. Then, their daughter had become so popular that she couldn’t even attend university. This made many people talk about her enthusiastically.

News of Qiao Nian representing the country in the world-cla.s.s software finals spread throughout the streets and alleys of Rao City.

…

At the Qiao Residence.

Qiao Weimin and his family had already moved out of the original high-end loft and into an ordinary neighborhood.

The three-room house was neither big nor small, but it was at least at the level of an ordinary family.

However, Shen Qiongzhi, Qiao Chen, and the others undoubtedly lived in a small matchbox every day.

They had been used to living in luxury for the past few years in a single-family villa. After the company’s accident, they lived in a high-end neighborhood and a 300-square-meter penthouse.

Unlike now, when the family of four was squeezed together and lived in a palm-sized place, in an ordinary neighborhood.

Qiao Chen could even hear He Yujuan coughing in the middle of the night when she slept. This kind of life was undoubtedly dark for her…

The disparity alone almost drove her crazy.

Moreover, everyone was talking about Qiao Nian returning to Rao City to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Qiao Chen couldn’t sleep whenever she thought about it.

Her hair began to fall out because of the pressure.

Shen Qiongzhi brought her to the doctor. Unfortunately, the effect was average no matter which medicine she took.

At noon.

Changing into her best dress and coming out of the bedroom, Qiao Chen saw that Shen Qiongzhi had already dressed up and was waiting for her in the living room. She called out with a gloomy expression, “Mom.”

Shen Qiongzhi immediately turned around. She quickly stood up and said upon seeing her, “Chen Chen, are you done packing?”

“Yeah,” Qiao Chen answered.

Shen Qiongzhi said happily, “Then, let’s hurry out. Don’t let the Fu family wait too long!”

Qiao Chen, her fingers tightened around her handbag. She asked unconfidently, “Mom, won’t it be bad for us to go over like this?”

Shen Qiongzhi didn’t quite understand what she meant and looked at her in surprise. “What’s wrong? Isn’t Fu Ge back? We just have to go since he’s asking us out for a meal. Don’t you want to go?”
