Chapter 70 - Words of Praise

Usually, he liked to discuss with a group of male classmates which female student in school was good-looking. He also spoke often about himself as a potential partner of these girls.

However… she had said that Chen Chen was an introverted and taciturn child. That was definitely not the Chen Chen that she knew.

Jingyuan High School was so vast. It was not unusual for a name to be repeated.

“Oh, it’s like this. Then your child must be outstanding.” Chu Ning decided not to say anything for the time being. If she made a mistake, she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

“Young lady, you really know how to speak. It’s not like that. Our Xiao Chen’s studies are not considered excellent either. He can only be considered average in the class. The main reason is that the school is good. If he had these results in any other high school, he would be one of the best,” the woman said proudly.

“Then what are his usual test scores?”

Chu Ning continued to ask. She had to search for more details so that she could better understand what she wanted to find out.

“For the exam… he should have scored more than 500 points the previous time. However, I heard during dinner that his class results seemed to be very good this time. One of the girls, Chu Ning, even shocked the entire Jingyuan High School. She scored the highest score ever in the school. He told me that it was 700… 700 something?”

The woman had a look of reminiscence on her face, but she couldn’t recall it no matter how hard she tried.

“738 points,” her husband reminded, from her side.

“Yes, that amazing girl scored 738 points! She’s really exemplary compared to others students. Besides, I heard from our Xiao Chen that her parents are quite beautiful! But you’re not bad either.” When the woman mentioned the name Chu Ning, her eyes were filled with envy.

“It’s basically confirmed…” although Chu Ning didn’t want to admit it, this was the truth — the Xiao Chen that the woman mentioned was her classmate.

However, he wasn’t taciturn. It was the exact opposite of what the woman had described.

“Could there be such a huge difference between school and home?” Chu Ning secretly ridiculed. She didn’t really understand this kind of behavior.

Moreover, it was already so late, and school had ended a long time ago.

Why hadn’t this Chen Chen returned home yet?

“So, the reason you called me here is that you want me to spend more time with your son and talk to him, and also do some work like a nanny, right?” Chu Ning asked.

“Yes, it seems that your logical thinking is very clear. It’s not like what Mrs. Wang told me. She also said that you’re a little dull! Don’t worry, I won’t give you any less than what you deserve. And as long as you perform well, I’ll give you a raise!”

The woman looked at Chu Ning with a smile as if she was looking at a something precious.

“I really don’t think much of your salary, Auntie. You should save this money for Chen Chen to get a better tutor…”

Chu Ning thought to herself, but she said, “Don’t you want to ask me for some basic information? For example, what’s my name?”

“No need. Before you came, Mrs. Wang had already told me your basic information. Wasn’t she afraid that you wouldn’t be able to speak clearly when you saw us? Now it seems that her worries were unfounded.”

The woman was delighted. The more she looked at Chu Ning, the more satisfied she felt. She even felt that it would be great if this was her future daughter-in-law!

…

At the same time, Chen Chen and his group of friends had played outside for quite a while before they started to walk home.

When they reached the entrance of his residential area, he finally let slip the rambunctious smile from his face. He stopped humming the little tune and his face gradually returned to an expression of calm.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have Yan Shen’s good looks, so he didn’t look very cool.

He quickly walked into the residential area, but when he passed by the entrance, a girl who looked like a country bumpkin caught his attention.

She was blocked by the security guards outside the residential area and was unable to enter. She was squatting quietly at the entrance.

“She’s above average in looks. I can only say that she’s not bad.”

He thought to himself. The main reason was that the other party’s qualities was a little below standards. The students of Jingyuan High School were only dressed like Chu Ning, but even so, they still looked good beyond the school gate.

Chen Chen didn’t think too much about it. He just wanted to go home as soon as possible. He needed to log into the school forum to see if there were any updates about Chu Ning and Yan Shen. Chu Ning’s actions that day had caused a lot of heated discussion!

There was also the face-off between Luo Yu and Ye Ting. He couldn’t wait for the poll between the two on the title of school belle!
