Chapter 234: Chapter 229: The Second Daughter Born Illegally

"Why are you speaking so intermittently today? What exactly is going on? Why would the vice principal of First High School call you? What good news did he have for you?" Zhong Meifen asked, slightly furrowing her brow.

The mere thought of the vice principal reminded her of the exorbitant sponsorship fees they paid for their thankless wolf Ye Qiu, who not only lacked gratitude but had also developed a vain and boastful character prone to lying and stealing while living in the countryside. How great a sin did she commit to have birthed such a daughter?

Remembering the pain she endured during childbirth and the disdain her in-laws showed her because of it, Zhong Meifen deeply felt it was so unfair to herself.

However, fortunately, she still had Ye Xia and Ye Dong. One was her pride, not only talented and beautiful but also sensible -- she would surely make a great future for herself. The other strengthened her position in the family, preventing the mother-in-law from shouting at her and who was also very smart; these two children were her future reliance.

Ye Hai looked at his wife with a complex expression, took a deep breath, and his face gradually showed a hint of joy: "The vice principal just called to say that Ye Qiu was this year’s top scorer in science."

"Who? Ye Qiu? She’s the top scorer in science?" Zhong Meifen was equally stunned, "Didn’t she go back to the countryside?"

"I’m not sure, but the principal of First High School wouldn’t make a wrong call. Could it be that Ye Qiu didn’t go back and has been studying at First High School?" Ye Hai speculated.

"But wasn’t she only admitted to First High School because of the sponsorship fee? With her academic performance, how could she become the top scorer in science? Could it be a case of mistaken identity?" Zhong Meifen asked skeptically.

Hearing his wife say this, Ye Hai became dubious once again. Right! Could Ye Qiu really become the top scorer? He would believe it if it were Ye Xia last year, but Ye Qiu?

"I’ll search online." Ye Hai immediately searched using his smartphone, but the news about this year’s top scorer wasn’t published yet; he only found photos of last year’s top scorer, making him further skeptical. Perhaps the vice principal really made a mistake?

"How is it?"

"I didn’t find anything."

"See, how could it possibly be Ye Qiu?" Zhong Meifen said disdainfully, then she stopped bothering with Ye Hai and went off to take care of her business.

But Ye Hai didn’t give up as easily as Zhong Meifen. He then made a call to Zhao Mei, who now runs a breakfast business selling buns, steamed buns, and noodles in the county and works hard from dawn to dusk, but thankfully, her business was doing alright, and she was willing to bear the hardships.

Seeing that the caller was "noble" Ye Hai, Zhao Mei disdainfully threw the phone into the drawer, out of sight out of mind, assuming these heartless parents must be seeking her out now that Ye Qiu was capable. She wouldn’t want to trouble herself with this couple for Ye Qiu’s sake.

"Beep... Beep..." Ye Hai waited anxiously, growing more impatient as time passed.

Why isn’t anyone answering? What busy farming work could there be in the countryside? No wonder they never achieve much! Ye Hai hung up irritably, casually greeted Zhong Meifen, and left the shop.

Ye Hai drove to First High School and saw a banner at the entrance with "Ye Qiu’s" name on it, his heart started to thump wildly, the name was exactly the same as his second daughter’s, but could it really be a coincidence?

As Ye Hai walked on, he arrived at the honor board, and the first thing he saw was a photo of Ye Qiu.

The person in the photo looked much better than he remembered, but he was certain it was his daughter.

His daughter really was the top scorer in science!

Ye Hai was so overjoyed by the news he didn’t know what to do. Although he favored sons over daughters, believing sons were the foundation, having a daughter bringing him glory was an added strength.

He is the father of the provincial top scorer! How prestigious that sounds!

Indeed, worthy of being Ye Hai’s child. She turned out to be so clever!

"Excuse me, parent, your child must have done well in the college entrance exams, you look so happy?" Seeing Ye Hai standing in front of the honor board for a long time, a passing teacher came to greet him.

Ye Hai straightened his chest and said proudly: "Yes, she’s the top scorer in the provincial science subject this year!"

The teacher’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Oh, so you are Ye Qiu’s father! You’re really blessed. How did you teach your child to be so smart?"

"It’s all thanks to the school’s teachers, but her sister and brother also have good results." Ye Hai feigned modesty.

How could the teacher not read between the lines of Ye Hai’s words? But having seen many parents, and since he’s the father of the top scorer, he didn’t comment further, and thinking that getting top scorer does show the child’s intelligence, he complimented naturally: "It seems there’s a genetic advantage in your family!"

"You flatter me, haha..."

"But why are you still here? Are you here to collect the top scorer reward fund for Ye Qiu? Go quickly, or the principal might leave soon."

"Reward fund?" Ye Hai was stunned. Was there such a thing?

"I heard the school has awarded twenty thousand yuan to student Ye Qiu. You are really fortunate!"

Twenty thousand yuan! Although Ye Hai doesn’t care much about the twenty thousand yuan nowadays, it’s a significant amount for a student, and being a father, of course, he has to help manage it for his child.

"Alright, thank you, teacher, I’ll go find the principal now."

"Are you here to collect the reward money for Ye Qiu?" The principal scrutinized Ye Hai with a questioning gaze.

"Yes, principal, you can give the money directly to me." Ye Hai still wore a proud smile.

"What proof do you have that you are Ye Qiu’s father?" The principal looked at him suspiciously.

Ye Hai was stunned, he was indeed Ye Qiu’s father, why should he need proof?

"Just go, the money has already been collected by Ye Qiu herself." The principal said impatiently.

"Where is she?" Ye Hai asked instinctively.

"Aren’t you her father? You don’t know when she came and went?" The principal grew increasingly suspicious of Ye Hai’s intentions, "You’re not a scammer, are you?"

"No, no, no, I’m not a scammer, you misunderstood," Ye Hai hurriedly pulled out his ID card, "Look, my name really is Ye Hai, and I really am Ye Qiu’s father."

The principal let go of his suspicion for the moment, and without calling the police, he advised earnestly: "As a parent, you should communicate well with your child; Ye Qiu is a good kid, and you should discuss everything with each other."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Ye Hai almost bowed down and listened anxiously to the principal’s lecture.

After confirming that the top science scorer indeed was his daughter, Ye Hai still couldn’t locate Ye Qiu. Where could she have gone?

Ye Hai felt a bit irritated; his child studied in First High School but didn’t come home, could it be that she resented her parents? What’s with kids these days, why so much calculation? They don’t appreciate their parents’ hardships at all.

How could a girl be roaming around with so much money? If anything happens, wouldn’t it still be a trouble to the adults here?
