Chapter 616: Chapter 614 Why It’s Impossible_1

Not at the bottom?

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"If you’re not at the bottom, then who is?"

"Exactly!"

"Don’t tell me you’re going to say you’re in first place!"

But they were soon faced with the ultimate embarrassment.

Because...

Someone was so shocked and frightened that their speech became stammering, "She actually got first place!"

"Who the hell is spouting nonsense?" someone reflexively retorted.

That person, originally astonished at Xia Ningxing’s first-place achievement, immediately became furious upon hearing this, "You’re the one raised by a bitch, if you don’t believe it, then go open your damn eyes and take a good look at the rankings!"

As the words fell, the majority glared with their ’dog eyes’, scrutinizing the top spot on the rankings.

Not checking would have been fine, but upon seeing it, many nearly lost their strength to stand from the shock.

Look!

Xia Ningxing was indeed in first place!

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but gulp down their saliva.

Oh my god!

They couldn’t be going blind, could they?

They rubbed their eyes and looked again, and there it was, the three characters ’Xia Ningxing’ still proudly hung in the position of first place.

No mistake about it!

Upon closer inspection, everyone suddenly realized that she had nearly perfect scores in every assessment category, far surpassing the second-place Ning Mo by dozens of points!

The discrepancy was certainly not slight!

But this wasn’t the most important point, the most crucial thing was that she had obtained first place. Didn’t that mean that she would become the Family Head of the Ning Family?

Thinking that they would have to be governed by an outsider like Xia Ningxing, many faces turned dark.

Even though Xia Ningxing was Mrs. Xia Ning’s disciple, and according to the Ning Family rules her name qualified to be written in the family genealogy, for many she was nothing but an outsider.

They simply didn’t accept her!

"Wow! Mommy is awesome!" Chuanchuan shouted in a baby voice, laughing joyfully with a little voice, clapping his little hands vigorously.

Although he couldn’t understand the words on the rankings, his little ears were not just for show, having memorized everyone’s words earlier.

Mommy getting first place, really so happy!

Xia Ningxing’s beautiful face carried a gentle smile as she raised her hand to touch his little head, "Good boy."

"Congratulations on winning the championship," Lu Tingli said, raising his hand to touch her head.

Actually, before the results were announced, he had believed Xia Ningxing would surely take first place.

Because she had the strength and the talent, and she was willing to work hard.

Who else would be worthy of first place if not a person like that?

Mrs. Xia Ning’s eyes were filled with tears as she emotionally hugged Xia Ningxing, "Good child, you really are the best, if your father were still alive to see this, he would be overjoyed..."

By the end of that statement, Mrs. Xia Ning had lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear.

How she wished her husband, Xia Aiguo, could have witnessed this moment himself.

What a pity, what a pity!

At the mention of her father who she had never met and who had died many years ago, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but sigh and patted his back, "I think he will know this news in heaven."

"You are right! Your dad will certainly know!" Mrs. Xia Ning felt comforted, sniffled with a nod, and after hugging for a while, finally let go of her.

In contrast to the joy of Mrs. Xia Ning and others, most of the Ning Family had grim faces.

Some even glared hatefully at the list as if by staring, Xia Ningxing could disappear from the top rank.

"You are actually the top of the list! How is this possible!" Ning Xiaoyou’s features twisted with jealousy as she glared at Xia Ningxing, her eyes flaming as if she wished she could burn her alive.

She had pondered many possibilities but never anticipated that Xia Ningxing would be first.

If it were Ning Mo, she could have accepted it, but Xia Ningxing... impossible!

Back during the last assessment, she had tried several times to harm Xia Ningxing. They were now archenemies doomed to fight to the death. If Xia Ningxing were to become the Family Head, would there be any good days ahead for her and her family?

Probably not without being constantly on edge and walking on eggshells!

No, she must find a way to prevent Xia Ningxing from becoming the Family Head!

Ning Xiaoyou’s fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.

Xia Ningxing shrugged her shoulders and counter-asked, "Why not?"

"You were at home nursing your child during the months of assessment; how could you possibly do better than those of us who reviewed every day?" Ning Xiaoyou scoffed and impolitely retorted.

It had to be said that she voiced what everyone was thinking, and suddenly many people began to chime in.

"Exactly, she even scored better than Ning Mo. And to think Ning Mo has been clever and talented since she was young!"

"Could it be that there was some mistake?"

"Do you all think she could have had the answers in advance?"

"I feel it’s possible. She’s the disciple of the Family Head. Who’s to say the Family Head didn’t leak the questions!"

"What a talent for slander!" The moment Mrs. Xia Ning heard this, she let out a chilling scoff, "I haven’t interfered with the assessment at all, let alone leaked any questions."

She had been concerned about precisely this kind of situation before, so she hadn’t involved herself in the assessment content at all, not even allowing people to report to her about it. She hadn’t expected that, despite all her precautions, people would still slander her!

The stern inquisition immediately silenced everyone present.

Indeed, if even the Family Head didn’t know the content of the assessment, how could there have been a leak?

It was then that the crowd began to realize!

Yet, they couldn’t believe, or rather, they didn’t want to believe that Xia Ningxing earned the top rank through her own ability, so now they began to speculate about other possibilities.

If it wasn’t the Family Head who leaked the questions, then it must have been someone else...

Immediately, many people’s gazes turned suspiciously to the question setters and the examiners.

"What now, you think it’s me, the old man, who leaked the questions?" As soon as Elder Xu saw their gazes, he knew their thoughts and instantly became as irate as a firecracker, his eyes glaring as he questioned them.

"Not capable enough to pass the exam and you dare to blame us? In my opinion, you’re not even worthy to carry Xia Ningxing’s shoes!"

"Indeed! A bunch of sour grapes!"

The examiners and question setters this time were all distinguished elders of the Ning Family, each with a fiery temper, and they felt infuriated that their integrity was being questioned; they rolled up their sleeves and angrily silenced the group with their retorts.

"You all are so biased towards Xia Ningxing! Don’t tell me she made some indecent deal with you?" Ning Xiaoyou spewed the accusation once more.

Slap!

No sooner had the words left her mouth did Ning Xiaoyou receive a slap from Xia Ningxing.

Because Xia Ningxing was so incensed, she didn’t control her strength, and as a result, Ning Xiaoyou was sent flying to the ground.
