Chapter 835 Still Waiting for the Joke

“Auntie, I’m home.”

“You have returned?” Recently, Qiao Chen had been hardworking, and Wei Ling had been treating her more gently. Seeing her, Wei Ling got up and ended her conversation with Shen Jingyan. She walked over with a gentle att.i.tude and instructed a servant to prepare dinner for Qiao Chen.

Qiao Chen was accustomed to the Shen family now. She seemed to regard herself as one of the masters in the house. She shook her head and declined Wei Ling’s kindness. She dragged her suitcase along and spoke with a tired expression. “There is no need, Auntie. I had something to eat on the plane. I’m not hungry now. I want to go up and wash up. I still have some work to do. The teacher is also waiting for me to hand in my a.s.signment.”

Recently, Steven had been asking her to compose a new arrangement.

It would be best if it was something similar to her award-winning arrangement.

Qiao Chen had been putting in all her efforts into composing a similar arrangement. However, that arrangement was not a typical piano arrangement. It was adapted from a song originally played on the konghou. Furthermore, she only composed the foundation. The eye-catching portions were all composed by Qiao Nian and had nothing to do with her at all!

If she had to compose a similar arrangement, it would be equivalent to killing her!

On one hand, she didn’t dare to be timid in front of Mr. Steven and tried to delay the composition as long as possible. In the meantime, she racked her brains for some inspiration. Whenever she had free time, she would be in her room trying out new arrangements. She had written many new tunes, but she was dissatisfied will all of them. If she herself did not like the arrangement, why would Mr. Steven like it?

Therefore, at this time, Qiao Chen was feeling both happy and troubled.

She was happy because she was starting to gain a reputation within the Shen Family and in Beijing due to her hard work. She was troubled because the issue with the arrangement was constantly hanging over her head. This caused her to have sleeping problems.

She handed the suitcase to a servant and asked them to take it up for her. When she went upstairs, she pa.s.sed by the projection television in the living room and happened to see the news being broadcasted. The news host was talking pa.s.sionately about the upcoming College Entrance Examination.

Qiao Chen paused for a moment before heading up to her room.

The College Entrance Examination.

This reminded her that Qiao Nian was also sitting for the College Entrance Examination this year.

Her eyes flashed and she raised the corners of her mouth with disdain. To be honest, she had never understood what Qiao Nian was thinking. She was ranked first in the joint entrance examination, but she still decided to take the College Entrance Examination. What was she thinking of?

Was she trying to gain some fame for the school?

If she was in Qiao Nian’s position, she would never do such a thing.

If she didn’t sit for the College Entrance Examination, she could still have the honor of ranking first in the joint entrance examination. However, if she scored badly in the College Entrance Examination, it would be a shame!

It wouldn’t be so easy to rank first again.

Furthermore, the College Entrance Examination was different from the joint entrance examination. The College Entrance Examination was a national examination, and it wouldn’t be as easy to rank first in the whole country.

Did Qiao Nian really think that she would be as lucky as in the joint entrance examination? Did she really think she could get a perfect score in the College Entrance Examination?

Qiao Chen smiled even more mockingly. As she listened to the news regarding the College Entrance Examination, she restrained the irony in her eyes. Her eyes looked warm and soft again, but her chin was slightly raised. She walked upstairs while holding on to the handrails.

In any case, she wasn’t making things up. If Qiao Nian really messed up her College Entrance Examination, she would be happy to watch her fail.

This was something she wished hard for.

The following day.

It was the day of the College Entrance Examination.

Jiang Li got up early in the morning.

Gu San and Ye w.a.n.gchuan also got up very early.

When he got out of bed, there was already breakfast on the table. There was also a car key on the table. He could tell who went out early in the morning to buy breakfast.
