The Almighty Rich Daughter is Explosively Cool - Chapter 177
Chapter 177: Number One Scholar
At the celebration, the guests had filled the seats. Everyone was now eating and chatting as they waited for the two main characters of today’s party to arrive.
Because it hasn’t been very long since the entrance exam marks came out, all the parents and students were asking each other how they did.
The parents with teenage and unmarried children all had bigger plans.
Someone asked in a whisper, “Who do you plan on giving the Pearl of Fortune and Marriage to?”
“Is that even a question? Qiao Nian of course! Qiao Zibo is no longer around. The Qiao family is counting on Qiao Ziwen.”
“He Wanqing grew up in an orphanage. She has nobody from her side of the family that is worth mentioning.”
“Do you see Qin Yongmei’s side of the family? They filled up more than three tables! If anything were to happen in the future, it’s best if there’s someone there to help.”
“Let’s not compare the adults – let’s just compare the kids. Qiao Nian is better than Qiao Qing at everything.”
“I originally thought Qiao Qing was capable since she rejected the free spot offered to her at UCC. But the entrance exam slapped her in the face.”
“Qiao Nian scored 684. I think that score is enough to put her as the number one scholar in the City of Brisk for science. Plus, I heard, the grandson from the Ye family only scored 680.”
Someone else questioned, “The school didn’t publish everyone’s grades. How do you know Qiao Qing didn’t do well?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Last time, she placed first and everyone found out. If she did well this time, why aren’t there any noise?”
“That’s true. So despite her placing first last time, she actually isn’t good enough to do well on the exam.”
“Exactly.”
“…”
Just as everyone was deeply gossiping, a waiter brought over four chairs.
Two were placed at the front and two were placed a little further behind. A giant ancient looking jewelry box was placed on each of the two chairs at the front.
Before everyone’s astonished gaze, Qiao Zhizhuo and Meng Chunhua walked in holding hands.
“Thank you everyone for finding the time to join us as we celebrate my granddaughters’ coming of age.”
Qiao Zhizhuo greeted everyone before he sat down on the chairs with Meng Chunhua.
The butler on the side ordered, “it’s time. Tell them to come out.”
“I’m here! I’m here!” Everyone heard Qin Yongmei’s cheerful voice from afar.
Next, they saw her walking out linking arms with Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian wore a white gown that draped down all the way to the ground. Her makeup was delicate and the way she walked was graceful. Every step she took gave off the aura that she was a good-natured and kind soul.
Everyone couldn’t help but compliment her.
“This is what a girl from a respectable family should look like. Though the Qiao family is no longer one of the four powerhouses of the City of Brisk after the collapse of Qiao Zibo, I really hope Qiao Nian can bring the family back to the top.”
“She has good grades and a good family. She’s even pretty. This infuriates me!”
“Two girls having a joint celebration is such a humiliation to the older granddaughter. She’s going to be worse at everything than Qiao Nian.”
Jiang Chun looked at his own son and reminded, “Give the Pearl of Fortune and Marriage to Niannian later, okay? Only a girl like that is deserving to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.”
Mu Jinghang gave the man in a mask a glance, “That weed looking of a woman gets these many compliments? Are people in this city blind?”
Jun Yexuan ignored him and looked at his watch, “Why hasn’t Qi Yusen arrived?”
Mu Jinghang, “I called, he said something happened on his way here. He should be here soon.”
Just as everyone continued to praise Qiao Nian, a gasp shot out from the crowd.
Suddenly, everyone’s attention shifted to the bright and blazing silhouette.
The girl wore a flaming red dress. Her agile and exquisite body was without flaws.
In contrast to the red dress, her skin appeared paler than ever. Just like snow in a rose garden, she was cold but elegant and pure and unparalleled.
