Most of the students from Class A were from average households. Hence, they were shocked by the treatment.
Who am I, where am I?
I must be dreaming.
A professor from Qing University thanked me.
He even wants to treat us to a meal.
Before they could react…
Liang Bowen was calm and was the first to reply. He represented everyone as he politely said, “Uncle, you’re too kind. We didn’t help Sister Nian much. She’s the one that helped us most of the time.
“Sister Nian is great at her studies. She’s a nice person as well. Most of us have received help from her before.”
The praises made Jiang Zongjin happy.
Jiang Zongjin was grinning from ear to ear as he replied smilingly, “Are you a student here as well? Do you like math? When you come into our mathematical department, I can be your mentor.”
Damn.
Liang Bowen just heard that Jiang Zongjin didn’t like to mentor students. Why did he change his stance for him all of a sudden?
Professor Jiang definitely wasn’t impressed by his intellect. He must be doing this because of Sister Nian.
Liang Bowen took a deep breath to calm down.
He looked at Qiao Nian before replying shyly, “I don’t think I can make it into Qing University.”
Jiang Zongjin replied to him gently, “You’re so smart, I think you will get in. Just work hard.”
“Alright, Uncle. I’ll work hard.” Liang Bowen blushed from the praise.
Jiang Zongjin then turned his attention to the rest of Class A and asked, “Are you guys hungry?
“If you are, we can go now.
“I’ve heard that there is a good restaurant nearby. We can go there for lunch.”
Everyone in Class A wanted to interact with a professor from Qing University. They cheered immediately.
In contrast to how excited Class A was.
The Qiao Family felt as though they were being tortured.
Everyone famous in Rao City expected to have lunch with Jiang Zongjin today. However, he made plans with a bunch of students in front of them.
The madam realized what had happened and turned to look at Madam Fu and the Qiao Family. She then softly said, “Madam Qiao, didn’t you say that Professor Jiang came because of your daughter?”
Shen Qiongzhi didn’t know how to reply. She stood dumbfounded with her mouth wide open.
The professor from Qing University was here because of her daughter!
At least, that’s what everyone thought.
Her daughter was the most outstanding in First High School with her guaranteed spot in Ren Yi. Her boyfriend was from Qing University and had a bright future ahead of him.
Everyone thought that the professor came because of Chen Chen. They even asked Fu Ge.
Fu Ge didn’t deny it as well.
Hence, that’s why they were dressed to the nines today. They wanted to welcome the professor.
Who knew he didn’t come for Qiao Chen?
He came for Qiao Nian instead.
She heard it too. The professor from Qing University introduced himself as Qiao Nian’s father!
It felt as though there was something stuck in her throat.
The professor from Qing University was her biological father?
Wasn’t her father a poor teacher from Luohe County?
Qiao Chen was shocked to the point that she turned pale. She clenched her fists so hard that they were close to bleeding, and disbelief could be seen in her eyes.
Qiao Nian’s father was a professor from Qing University. Was this a joke?
“Don’t rush into things before you are sure of it. Else, you’ll just be a joke to everyone!” The madam looked coldly at them as she insulted them.
The Qiao Family felt as though they were humiliated with a slap.
Even though she spoke to Shen Qiongzhi, Madam Fu was humiliated as well.
This was because they announced that Fu Ge was responsible for inviting the professor from Qing University.
Just as much as they were praised previously, they were as humiliated now.
