Chapter 424: Protecting Her

Jiang Xinyi was speechless and apologized to Sheng An repeatedly.

However, her first reaction had betrayed her. Her apologies now seemed insignificant and meaningless.

After sending Teacher Lu off, Jiang Xinyi was extremely happy. What was with today?

She had finally gotten what she wanted.

Who should she call now? Yes! Sheng Tai!

Jiang Xinyi took out her phone and called him.

Look at how well she raised the children for him! He would definitely be moved and might even care more about his family.

Upstairs, Sheng Yue had witnessed everything, but she was not happy about Sheng An’s good results.

She leaned against the cold wall, her heart growing colder.

Firstly, Sheng An had made such a huge improvement, which made it harder for her to say her real ranking.

Secondly, she felt that her position was becoming increasingly precarious.

In the past, she was able to please her mother and the old lady because even though Sheng An was a boy, he was too reckless. But she was different. She had good grades, good manners, and a good personality. She was the face of the Sheng family.

But now, Sheng An’s little improvement would easily cancel out his past. In the future, his status would only rise.

Mom, Grandpa, Grandma would only think more highly of him!

Downstairs, Jiang Xinyi called Sheng Tai excitedly. Sheng Tai was currently in a convertible sports car, wearing sunglasses. The wind blew his black hair, making it look messy and beautiful.

“Sheng Tai, look at how amazing our daughter is! She’s even better than your elder brother’s daughter. Sheng An, our son, is amazing too. He got first place in class this time!”

Sheng Tai was initially full of smiles, and at this moment, his smile did not fade at all. However, he still looked arrogant.

His eyes behind his sunglasses seemed to be smiling, but they did not light up. “So, why are you telling me this?”

“Aren’t you happy?”

“Happy? Why should I be happy?” Sheng Yang chewed on his gum, completely baffled. “I’m only happy when I see good wine, beauties, and yachts. Why are you telling me these boring things?”

The corners of Jiang Xinyi’s lips drooped.

This man’s heart could not be warmed.

At home, Kang Weizhen had her laptop on her lap and was focusing on her work.

Out of nowhere, someone sent a message to her. It was a woman she had never been close to. She was closer to Jiang Xinyi.

“Mrs. Sheng, don’t be too harsh on Miss Sheng. Miss Sheng went to the business war and took the exam right after she came back. She didn’t have time to revise at all. It’s understandable that she didn’t do well.”

Kang Weizhen’s fingers paused, and her expression looked confused. What was she saying?

Ever since Yangyang yielded such good results, she knew that she didn’t have to worry too much about her studies. Otherwise, it would seem superfluous.

Furthermore, her three brothers were very protective of her. It did not matter if her studies were good or not.

Hence, she had no idea when the exam was.

Now, after hearing what this woman said, she realized that Yangyang had taken the mock exam when she came back. From the looks of it, she didn’t get first place.

Kang Weizhen replied indifferently. “I won’t blame her. My daughter doesn’t need 100 marks in an exam. She just needs 100 marks for happiness.”

The other party was shocked to see this reply. She had bravely used this topic to talk to Mrs. Sheng…
