Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Days passed, but Huo Xiao did not wake up, while Xiaoqi went to the hospital on time every day to tell stories to his great-grandfather. He looked forward to his great-grandfather waking up soon.
Su Xiyin felt that the kid was too tired from going back and forth, so after confirming that her husband’s condition was stable, she moved him to Huo Ci’s house.
She had learned professional care and emergency medical knowledge, so she could handle emergency situations. There were also professional medical staff who would monitor him 24 / 7 and observe his condition.
On June 7th, the annual national college entrance examination was held. Someone had leaked Ling Sheng’s examination venue number and reporters were blocking the school entrance.
The bet Ling Sheng had made with the netizens half a year ago became more and more popular with the arrival of the examinations. Last night, there were still people betting on it!
Those who stood on Ling Sheng’s side believed that she would definitely be the top scholar in the examinations. On the other hand, her naysayers who had originally looked down on her, many of them were now older fans of hers.
Then there were fans of Nangong Lengyu’s family who believed in her daughter, even if others did not. Even if they did not believe in her, they could not boost their rivals’ morale and diminish their own by showing it openly.
Most of the gossipers were expecting her to not do well and not many believed that she would be able to get the top score in the examinations. After all, she had not even graduated from high school and when she was still in school previously, she was a bad student. Furthermore, she was from a rural school. Did she think that being the top scorer in the college entrance examination was something that she could get just by saying it?
The anti-fans were all getting ready to watch a good show, they wanted to see the fans eat their own words.
Ling Sheng’s mentality became calmer and more confident the nearer the date of the exam is. The average score for her first, second and third mock examination was 695, which was 15 points higher than the highest score of the major universities.
For the two days of the examinations, Ling Sheng had been on the top of the trending searches and had never gone down. Her fans waited expectantly for her to report the good news, while the haters waited to see her make a fool of herself.
After the exam ended, Ling Sheng disappeared. She did not even give her an estimate of her score. Those who were slightly famous and attended the same exam as her, whether they were actors or internet celebrities, would post their scores on Weibo after the exam. But she did not show any signs of activity.
However, some fans took photos of her and said that they met her, her son, and her husband on the plane to Northern Europe. They guessed that she went on a vacation.
On the day when the examination results were released, Ling Sheng was still sleeping when she was woken up by the continuous stream of calls. She looked at her son and the man who was sleeping soundly beside her, quietly picked up her phone, and ran outside to answer the call. “Sister, are you crazy?”
“The top scorer of the college entrance examination, congratulations.” Shi Lingyu was happy and called her immediately. However, he heard her slightly hoarse voice. “You’re still not awake?”
“It’s daytime at your location, but it’s nighttime at mine. We’re not in the same time zone!” Ling Sheng muttered gloomily as she scratched her head.
“You sure are broad-minded. Don’t you know that your examination results are out today?” Shi Lingyu sounded helpless. The manager did not expect to meet such a careless artiste, he had to put in a lot of effort for her. “Your studio has already posted your results.”
“That’s a sure thing. Even if I don’t check, I’m still the top scorer in the examinations.” Ling Sheng smiled confidently. Although she said that, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She had been having fun these past few days and had thrown all her worries to the back of her mind. As for the examination results, if such an outstanding person like her was not the top scorer, who else could it be?
“Yes, you are the best. You are the best, right?” Shi Lingyu smiled and said, “Little Fairy, quickly go back to sleep. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Ling Sheng acknowledged and was about to hang up.
“By the way, when are you coming back?” Shi Lingyu asked her. “We were going to celebrate for you!”
“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow.” Ling Sheng was relieved. Although she was very confident in herself, it would be embarrassing if she wasn’t the top scorer.
Her father probably would have to kill her.
With a high score of 721 points, Ling Sheng became the top humanities scorer in the Beijing college entrance examination. At the same time, she was also the highest scorer in the country. The Internet exploded, and the trending search headlines were all occupied by her alone. The show “My Wife” that was used as a bet for it did not need any publicity. Its popularity immediately exploded, and its trending search index rose rapidly.
The filming crew of “My Wife” was elated. Director Chen Mo led the entire crew and actors to hold a grand party to celebrate her getting the spot of top scorer.
The Eight Immortals gathered together again because of Ling Sheng. They went to Ji Fanchen’s house for a celebration and even recorded a variety show together. The Eight Immortals fans cried as they watched, feeling extremely touched.
On the 23rd of July, “My Wife” started showing in cinemas in the country. Those who had made a bet and owed Ling Sheng movie tickets posted their own purchase records on Weibo’s comment section to support the box office.
The premiere was on the morning of the 23rd. Xiaoqi had agreed to go to the movie premiere to support his mommy’s box office movie.
Coincidentally, something happened at the Huo family home that day. Huo Xuanze lost his footing and fell down the stairs, causing him to be seriously injured. As his uncle, Huo Ci went back to take a look before he hurriedly drove home to watch the movie with the rascal.
Huo Xuancong stood on the balcony on the third floor of the Huo Family’s mansion with a sinister smile. He watched as Huo Ci’s car disappeared from his sight. He raised the wine glass in his hand and swirled it in the air before drinking it in one gulp.
The hatred of killing his father was absolutely irreconcilable. Tomorrow, it will be the day of Huo Ci’s death!
Xiaoqi carried a stool and stood by the window to look at the cars on the road but it was very dark outside. He and his great-grandmother had already eaten, but his grandfather had not returned.
“Xiaoqi, Great-grandma will accompany you to watch a movie!” Su Xiyin felt sorry for the little fellow as he waited anxiously for his grandfather to return. Could Ci’er, that bastard, be lying to the kid again?
“Great-grandma, grandpa is here!” Xiaoqi clapped his hands excitedly as his big eyes lit up. “Grandpa’s car is here. Great-grandma, I’m going to watch the movie.”
Su Xiyin nodded when she saw that the little fellow was as happy as a silly dog. If not for the fact that she can’t leave her husband’s side, she would have gone to the movie premiere as well.
She walked the two of them to the door and watched as the little fellow hopped into the elevator with her son. “Ci’er, watch Xiaoqi!”
Huo Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Mom, why don’t we get the doctor to come over and look after Dad? You can come with us.”
Su Xiyin glared at him. Seeing that the elevator had closed, she turned around and returned home. She did not know what was going on, but no matter what happened recently, she was always a little flustered. She was worried even when Ci’er sent Xiaoqi to school. She was also worried when Sheng Sheng went overseas to film a show.
When Huo Ci drove, Xiaoqi liked to sit in the passenger seat.
At 11 pm, there were not many cars on the road.. When they reached the crossroad ahead, a truck suddenly rushed over.
