Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 318: You haven’t finished all the questions?

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: You haven’t finished all the questions?

Xia Mingzhu also thought this way and didn’t take it to heart.

Even if she wanted to recommend someone in front of the teachers, she would definitely prioritize Li Ran and Li Qian, whose grades were far better than Jiang Zhe’s, making them more suitable both emotionally and rationally.

After Jiang Zhe stepped out, he saw the familiar silhouette of a car and the familiar figure of a man.

Qin Jingchen was dressed in black, which accentuated his tall stature and long legs, and his inverted triangle physique was especially prominent.

Seeing Jiang Zhe, a smile appeared on his lips, "It seems I calculated the time quite well."

Jiang Zhe followed him into the car, "The questions were very comfortable; I spent some extra time on them."

Qin Hai in the front row clicked his tongue in slight disbelief; it had only been about forty-something minutes, and he still had spent extra time?

The car headed to Qin Jingchen’s apartment.

Once inside the apartment, Jiang Zhe sat on the couch, resting with his bare feet propped up.

Qin Jingchen sat next to him, extending a hand to support her waist, "Didn’t you miss me?"

Jiang Zhe met his gaze, tilting her chin up slightly, closed her eyes, and her eyelashes seemed even longer.

Qin Jingchen kissed her, pulling her into his embrace.

Jiang Zhe’s compliance lasted only a moment. Sensing the increasingly dangerous possessiveness from him, she wriggled out of his embrace, her voice a bit parched, "I want some water."

"Okay." Qin Jingchen didn’t force her and got up to pour her some water.

Jiang Zhe lazed by his side, had lunch, and after a midday rest, went to school.

Watching her walk away, Qin Jingchen’s body tensed slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

He looks down, unable to help but smile wryly; he could wait.

Jiang Zhe didn’t spend much time on the afternoon exam either. She sent Qin Jingchen a text saying she was busy, and after leaving the school gate, she took a taxi back to the Xia Family’s home.

Jiang Xiruo had just finished giving Mrs. Xia a massage. Hearing her return, she continued to work with her on the extraction of mushroom substances.

The two were busy until past seven when the Xia family members all returned, and then they came out to have dinner.

The elder Mrs. Xia’s health had improved in the past two days, and she didn’t eat in her room but came to the living room, where the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit more lively today.

She asked Jiang Zhe, "Xiaozhe, Enci mentioned you had an exam today?"

"Yes, Grandma Xia," Jiang Zhe replied.

"Do well on your exams and come to visit us more often when you study in Beijing," the elder Mrs. Xia said kindly.

Xia Mingzhu remembered seeing Jiang Zhe handing in her papers earliest in both the morning and afternoon sessions. That amount of time was almost just for going through the motions, right?

"Was the paper difficult?" Xia Mingzhu asked.

Madam Xia immediately said, "The independent recruitment exam of Beijing University is bound to be difficult. It’s not a paper that just anyone can complete. How did it go, Jiang Zhe? Got an estimated score?"

"No," Jiang Zhe said.

She never did such things as estimating scores.

Xia Mingzhu said, "I saw you coming out quite early; you hadn’t been there for even an hour, right? Actually, some questions, if you ponder over them, might not be impossible to do."

"Came out in less than an hour?" Madam Xia expressed surprise, "You didn’t finish the paper?"

Jiang Zhe didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Xia said, "Whether the paper is finished or not doesn’t necessarily relate to the time, right Xiaozhe?"

"Right," Xia Enci said hurriedly.

The second wife of the Xia family smiled, her mind clear, "Jiang Zhe, it’s quite normal for you to want to study in Beijing, who doesn’t? Which school do you want to attend, and what major are you interested in? Let’s hear it?"

Jiang Zhe glanced up at her.

Seeing that she didn’t catch on, the second wife of the Xia family said, "Just name it, and our family can still think of ways to help you out. Take Mingli, for example, a graduate of Imperial City University, a university that’s on par with Beijing University! Its alumni are all over Beijing. His career is also going smoothly; he has no shortage of connections. And then there’s Mingzhu, still a graduate student and a disciple of Teacher Fang. Do you know Teacher Fang? At the Aerospace Research Institute, working with Fu Qifang on research!"

She spoke these words, not so much to offer help as to flaunt her pride.

Jiang Zhe didn’t take the bait at all.

Seeing her become tongue-tied, the second wife of the Xia family said, "Surely you don’t not know who Fu Qifang is?"

"Mom, that’s enough!" Xia Mingzhu stopped her mother, remembering that Jiang Zhe did, after all, know Fu Qifang and might have some sort of relationship with him; there was no need to put Jiang Zhe down.

When the second wife of the Xia family saw Jiang Zhe’s lack of response to her words, she turned to ask Li Ran and Li Qian, "What do you two think of the test questions? How did it go?"

Li Ran and Li Qian both had decent grades, but they found today’s questions quite tough.

Li Ran thought for a moment before saying, "The questions were indeed not easy. Some were troublesome."

"Did you estimate your score?" the second wife of the Xia family asked.

"Just a rough estimate, not very accurate," Li Ran said.

"How much?" she pressed.

Li Ran and Li Qian were both reluctant to say, because they had heard about Jiang Zhe’s situation just now; wouldn’t speaking out just be striking Jiang Zhe?

Under persistent questioning from the second wife of the Xia family, Li Ran finally said, "Maybe around six hundred fifty points? Not very accurate."

The second wife of the Xia family said with a beam, "That’s not bad at all, even for the college entrance exam, such a score would be good! The questions were difficult, but you still scored well. How about you, Li Qian?"

Li Qian glanced at Jiang Zhe before answering, "Possibly six hundred eighty points."

"Not bad at all!" the second wife of the Xia family praised, "Mingzhu, based on your experience, is this score enough for Beijing University? Which major would be appropriate?"

With a smile, Xia Mingzhu said, "Totally enough, they can try any major they like, it’s up to their preferences."

"This is just an estimate, not very accurate," Li Ran modestly added.

"Later, let your sister Mingzhu help to estimate again and see what the actual score might be," said the second wife of the Xia family, satisfied, and glanced at Jiang Zhe again.

She noticed that Jiang Zhe seemed completely uninterested in all this, even her eyelids didn’t flutter any extra, and she didn’t show the slightest envy towards Li Ran and Li Qian.

Was it truly indifference, or was it concealment?

The second wife of the Xia family felt that the latter was more likely.

"Jiang Zhe, having a low score isn’t shameful, and if you want to stay in Beijing, there’s always a way," the second wife of the Xia family said in what seemed like a heart-to-heart, broaching the subject again.

Mrs. Xia felt she had had enough, always bringing up what should not be mentioned, and said to Jiang Zhe, "Try this, this pork knuckle is quite good, with crispy skin and tender meat."

"Thank you, Aunt," Jiang Zhe took a piece and chewed slowly.

Seeing Mrs. Xia intentionally helping Jiang Zhe, the second wife of the Xia family found it amusing.

Suddenly, Xia Mingli spoke up, "Speak up, Jiang Zhe, I will help you."

His gaze may have softened, but it still carried an obvious arrogance.

Ever since starting work, his abilities had been exceptional, gradually surpassing his grand uncle Xia Tang and becoming the most promising member of the Xia family.

With support in many areas, he had become a strong pillar for his father, Xia Zhen.

Being the pride of the imperial city coupled with widespread adoration, a touch of arrogance was almost inevitable in his eyes.
