Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 268
Chapter 268: Sister Ran: Calm Down
Cheng Mu had already prepared the banquet venue since his return to China. After all, Yun Ding Hotel had a large customer base and it was said that their scheduled bookings were already a month later.
For the sake of the youngsters, Butler Cheng estimated the time and booked it at six in the late afternoon.
Then he began to notify her classmates one by one.
At the Qiao family’s house, Qiao Sheng finally got up from his bed after answering the phone.
He sat on his bed thinking about life, then reached out and sent a text message to Xu Yaoguang—
[Are you going to Sister Ran’s banquet?]
He replied very quickly—
[No.]
It was lunchtime at the Xu family’s house in Beijing.
Xu Yaoguang had returned to Beijing the next day after finishing the college entrance examination.
“Yun Cheng’s college entrance examination results are coming out today.” Butler Xu stood beside him and asked, “Have you checked your results?”
“No.” Xu Yaoguang put down his cell phone. He put away his chopsticks after finishing his meal, his eyes cold.
He knew that the college entrance examination results were published today, but he hadn’t checked it yet. His prediction of scores had never been wrong.
He glanced at his phone. Qin Yu’s chat was below Qiao Sheng’s.
Qin Yu had scored less than 280 this time. Since their Science results were combined, Xu Yaoguang had also asked Pan Mingyue about her combined science results. She didn’t exceed 280 either.
This year’s questions had been really difficult.
Butler Xu wasn’t surprised at Xu Yaoguang’s answer. The Xu family had always been school nerds, especially Xu Yaoguang’s generation, who basically grew up crushing their generation under their feet.
Butler Xu and the people in Beijing wouldn’t be surprised even if he was the top scorer of the national exam this time. They would just think of it as a matter of course.
“The exam has been jointly-produced by the universities in Beijing.” Butler Xu saw that Xu Yaoguang had finished eating and asked the servants to clear the dishes.
Hearing this, Xu Yaoguang’s eyes finally changed slightly, and he looked up. “Principal Zhou and the others?”
Butler Xu nodded.
Xu Yaoguang had yet to check his scores and was unable to sit still. He took his phone and walked back to his room to turn on the computer.
Butler Xu knew he had gone to check his scores. He thought about it before following him.
Xu Yaoguang remembered his exam number.
When Butler Xu entered, the results had already been refreshed on the screen.
“732?” Butler Xu stood behind him and smiled in satisfaction when he saw the refreshed results. But when he saw that his provincial ranking was 2nd, he was extremely shocked. “Your score only placed second?”
The questions jointly-produced by several major universities and divided by levels were on a monstrous level of difficulty to those youngsters. Butler Xu naturally knew that a score of 732 was also considered excellent to Xu Yaoguang.
Butler Xu was indeed surprised by his provincial ranking.
Xu Yaoguang stared at his score for a long time, the light in his mind extinguishing.
After the college entrance examination, he also remembered that Qin Ran had drawn the board report with her right hand.
Thinking of this, he directly took his phone and flipped to Qiao Sheng’s chat to ask about Qin Ran’s results.
Qiao Sheng’s reply was simple and neat.
He directly sent a screenshot of Qin Ran’s score.
The screenshot was already circulating around on Heng Chuan First Middle School’s forum in the morning and was even being posted on Weibo.
Xu Yaoguang clicked on it directly.
Standing beside him, Butler Xu naturally saw the results and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Total score of 747?! This year’s national top scorer?!”
“I’m going back to Yun Cheng.” Xu Yaoguang stared at it for a long time before pulling the stool and getting up.

At 5:40 in the afternoon, class 3.9’s students came to Yun Ding Hotel one after another.
The top floor of Yun Ding Hotel was completely booked by Butler Cheng with great pride.
Class 3.9 was in a room with plenty of entertainment facilities.
Cheng Juan didn’t join them, mainly because Butler Cheng felt like his arrival might affect the youngsters’ enthusiasm.
When Qin Ran opened the door and went in, she thought she would see a lively atmosphere.
But the room was abnormally quiet.
They were all sitting on the stools and sofas. The lights in the room were brightly-lit, and everyone’s expression was very serious.
It was also obviously the first time the eight waiters inside witnessed such a scene, as they stood on both sides, seemingly at a loss.
It wasn’t until they saw Butler Cheng and Qin Ran that they heaved a sigh of relief and looked at them questioningly.
Qin Ran directly entered, wearing a peaked cap on her head. Seeing this scene, she pulled off her cap silently and cleared her throat. “… Erm, calm down, guys.”
Butler Cheng was frozen in place. He wasn’t clear about class 3.9’s personality.
He thought they were especially angry at this moment.
He couldn’t help but regret inviting these people.
Thinking of this, he glanced involuntarily at Qin Ran and said nervously, “Qin…”
Before he could continue, Qiao Sheng exploded. “I can’t calm down! If you don’t take me to the Supreme level Nine Stars, this matter won’t end!”
The class monitor was not to be outdone. “I also want to reach the Supreme level!”
“I must make a name!”
“What the f*ck?! There are so many good things waiting for me?!”
“…”
The boys clamored after one another, but the girls couldn’t keep acting and fell on the sofa, giggling.
Qin Ran was too familiar with their antics. “There are too many people, just one star.”
“No, are we the kind of people who can be bribed with one star?!”
Pulling a chair out, Qin Ran sat down, crossed her arms, and lifted her chin. “One God card each.”
The class monitor took the lead to pour a cup of tea for her respectfully. “Sister Ran, let’s take it slowly, there’s no rush. The God card doesn’t matter, it’s too tiring for you to bring us to nine stars. One star will do. We would like to stay at one star.”
Butler Cheng stared at the group of people with a dazed expression. “…??”
WTF? What was the God card?
He originally thought Qin Ran might fight with them, but it was resolved already?
“Butler Cheng, you can go to the other room first.” Qin Ran took the tea from the class monitor before looking at Butler Cheng and telling him to leave.
Dazed, Butler Cheng left the big room and entered the small room.
In the small room, Old Master Cheng was sitting down rigidly in a new suit.

Because it was last-minute, Ning Qing didn’t manage to book a good room, so the banquet was being in the hall on the 18th floor.
The Lin family would definitely give Qin Yu face.
Qin Yu also invited class 3.1. Only a few of them came, and the rest of the guests were the Lin family’s business partners.
As for the Ning family’s relatives, Ning Qing only called them to inform them of the news due to the time constraint and didn’t invite them all.
Qin Yu was successful in the college entrance examination and was also a celebrity in the Beijing Violin Association. Even Lin Wan put aside her business early in the morning and hurried back from Beijing.
Lin Wan was part of the Shen family in Beijing and was different from the rest of the Lin family.
Thus, Ning Qing and Qin Yu personally went to the airport to pick her up.
Qin Yu sat with Lin Wan in the backseat, while Ning Qing sat in the co-pilot seat.
“I also heard that this time, the college entrance examination is highly-valued by several major universities.” Lin Wan squinted slightly when she heard Qin Yu’s results. “Your scores should be enough for Beijing University’s art department.”
Only those who ranked in the top 200 in Y Province could enter Beijing University each year.
With her scores, it was rather difficult for Qin Yu to enter Beijing University, but it was more than enough as an art student. Furthermore, she was Dai Ran’s apprentice, which was a bonus project.
Ning Qing smiled and said proudly, “Yu’er just called her teacher. He’s also very satisfied.”
Glancing at Ning Qing, Lin Wan reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears and smiled. “Yes. Oh, I remember that Qin Ran also took the examination this year? How did she do?”
News of Qin Ran’s injury and the Meng family’s affairs had been blocked due to the heavy implications, so Lin Wan only knew that the Meng family had lost power, but was unaware of the connection to Qin Ran.
Ning Qing was taken aback. She had been calling the Lin and Ning families all day and had forgotten about Qin Ran’s examination.
At the mention of this, her smile faded a little, and her thoughts also became a little heavy. Thinking of her cold relationship with Qin Ran, she pursed her lips and said, “She injured her hand and couldn’t take the college entrance examination this year.”
“Oh, really?” Lin Wan smiled faintly and didn’t continue talking about it.
She had fought with Qin Ran before and naturally knew she was a school slag. She had only mentioned this to make some chitchat.
Ning Qing’s expression was slightly stiff.
As for Qin Yu, after her results, her mind had been on this year’s Beijing Violin Association nominations. If Lin Wan hadn’t mentioned Qin Ran, she would have already forgotten about her. As for how she had scored… she simply didn’t care and wasn’t bothered.
The Lin family’s car was parked in the hotel parking lot.
The hotel would show congratulatory messages on the screen at the gate of every banquet and would play it in turn if there were too many banquets being held.
Wedding greetings, baby birthday greetings, birthday greetings, and college entrance examination greetings…
Tonight, the majority were Yun Cheng’s college entrance examination greetings.
