What did Qiao Nian mean by this? Was she trying to humiliate her deliberately by stating an impossible score?
Qiao Nian saw her expression and understood that she had overstated her score.
She thought for a moment and lowered her expectations by 10 points.
“610?”
She didn’t mean to embarrass Qiao Chen and simply guessed her scores casually.
After all, she was the genius who had scored full marks on the test. It was reasonable if she guessed the scores based on her abilities.
Liang Bowen and Shen Qingqing knew Qiao Nian’s character and were aware that she didn’t mean to humiliate Qiao Chen. However, when they saw Qiao Chen’s embarrassed and angry expression, they couldn’t help but laugh and mock her a little.
“Sister Nian, please lower your standards a little more.” Liang Bowen smiled so widely that it was disgusting.
Qiao Nian was surprised and said, “I didn’t guess low enough?”
“I think you can guess even lower than that.”
He was dying of laughter inside!
Qiao Nian pressed the brim of her cap down impatiently. Her eyes were lazy and were narrowed as if she had just woken up. Her thin lips gently let out a question. “600?”
Based on her memory, the results of the entrance examination wouldn’t be very low. After all, the top students from all over the country were sitting for this examination. Even if the questions were slightly harder than the questions from the College Entrance Examination, the final results from the entrance examination usually ranged between 500 to 630 points.
Based on the statistics, it would seem like Qiao Chen was admitted into Qing University.
Since the Class B students were all here for a special celebration, Qiao Chen’s score might have been higher than usual.
She didn’t expect her score to be lower than 600 points.
She did notice that after she asked this question, Qiao Chen’s face was filled with rage and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger.
Although she was very angry, she still had to maintain her image in front of her classmates. Her face was heavy as she reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh. She put on a fake smile and said softly, “My grades are not so good. I only scored 588 points in the examination.”
When she said that she scored 588 points, she spoke slowly and clearly. She made sure her words were clear enough for everyone present to hear her.
Her chin was also raised proudly, which was completely different from her modest tone.
Wu Jie was initially confused by Qiao Nian’s guesses. She quickly reacted and tried to explain. “The questions in the independent enrollment examination for Qing University were harder this year. Many people did not score well. When I tried the questions for the previous examination, I only scored 580 points. I only got 500 points for this year’s examination and barely made it to the second round. Chen Chen took the examination for the arts major and scored 588 points. This is already a very high score. She’s among the top few students this year. If she sat for the College Entrance Examination with a score like this, I’m sure she would score at least 600 points! She would be admitted into Qing University either way.”
It was as though she was deliberately trying to make Qiao Nian disgusted as she flattered Qiao Chen so openly. “I didn’t expect Chen Chen to do so well in the examination. She made great improvements. If only she did not transfer schools, she would have been ranked in the top three in the monthly test at our school.”
The top three students at the First High School were usually treated well as they were most likely to make it into a good university.
They usually aimed for the best universities like Qing University and Nanjing University.
Wu Jie used to be ranked among the top three in their grade.
However, when Qiao Nian transferred into the school, she took first place. She was followed by Liang Bowen, who ranked second. Under normal circumstances, Wu Jie would have been ranked third. However, Chen Yuan returned to school. He had dropped out of school for half a year but was ranked third when he came back. He only scored five points less than Liang Bowen. The worst thing was that they scored twenty points more than her, who was ranked fourth. Wu Jie had always felt uneasy over this.
The class had started to unite since Qiao Nian’s arrival, especially Shen Qingqing, Liang Bowen, and Chen Yuan, who always hung around her.
This included Jiang Tingting, who was able to fit in well with them. Even though she hated studying, she seemed to have begun studying hard.
She appeared to be withdrawn and introverted in the class.
