Chapter 559: Han Jianyou’s Result

On the other side, Han Jianyou was sitting for his midterm exams. These exams were held to check whether the students had been studying and were ready for the college entrance exams. Under the threat of his sister, who told him that she was going to take him to the sea if he did not study well, Han Jianyou did not dare to slack off these days. Even when his friends were out playing these past few days, he stayed inside his dormitory and continued to work hard.

He did not want to go to the sea and get tanned. It would be horrible! He already looked uglier than all of his siblings; if he ended up getting tanned, then who knows what might happen to his below-average face!

"I will definitely surpass you in this exam," he confidently told his deskmate. "Do you believe it?" After his last success, he was quite happy and confident and was sure that he could get a good rank in this exam as well.

His deskmate rolled his eyes and said magnanimously, "Jianyou, don’t be silly. The last time the exams were too easy, only those who did not study failed those exams. There is no need to be so confident. And maybe I will simply turn in a blank paper and make it so that you will be able to surpass me because there is no difference between being the last and the second-to-last."

Hearing this, Han Jianyou snorted. "You think I will fail this time? I am telling you there is no chance!"

His deskmate could not be bothered by him. He had been playing games all night and was a little tired. He immediately leaned down on the table and started to take a nap. He was not lying about turning in a blank paper.

"Where is your ambition?" Seeing that his deskmate really had no intention of filling in the paper, he felt disgusted. He had been working hard for these exams for ages, and this boy! He truly had no ambition to do better than the others. Rolling his eyes, he took the exam paper. Han Jianyou took a look at the paper and was pleasantly surprised to see that he could actually do a lot of questions! This was the first time he did not have to jump to the next question in the hope that he would be able to do it. He was actually able to deal with the first question on his own!

Han Jianyou looked at the questions one by one and realised that he could do them without any worries.

It was the same for language, mathematics and English.

After giving four exams, he was filled with confidence.

After the exams, he returned home and could not help but brag in front of Han Ruochen and the rest of the family. "Sister, I was able to do all the questions this time around. I am sure that I will definitely do well. What will you reward me with this time around?" Han Jianyou did not want to return home, but he did so because he wanted to be praised by his sister. What’s more, he also wanted to check up on his father. He was still upset over the fact that no one had told him anything when Han Yichen was admitted to the hospital.

Thinking of this, he turned and looked at his father worriedly. "Dad, are you doing alright? I hope that you did not hide anything from me this time around. Because if you did, then I would be really upset."

"I am alright, I just—"

"Alright, what is up with this fuss?" Meng Yunhan returned home and heard Han Jianyou’s bragging. She was already in a bad mood because she had to bring the groceries using her own pay. It was clear that Han Ruochen had enough money in her hands, yet she refused to bring it out. She had more than fifty thousand yuan, and yet she was relying on her old mother to bring in the groceries. It was shameless of her!

She turned and glared at Han Jianyou before scolding him. "Your grades are not even out yet, and you are already bragging. Don’t you think that is simply stupid of you? At least first make sure that you have delivered what you speak before making such a loud fuss, or else you will be embarrassed to death."

"At least learn something from your sister Ziyan. She won an art competition in the county, and she never made such a fuss about it. One would think you are an idiot who always scored zero, and this is the first time you actually received a decent report card!"

Meng Yunhan’s harsh rebuke was enough to make Han Jianyou forget everything that he wanted to say, and the light in his eyes could not help but dim. The reason he was happy was that he believed he did well in his exams, and the reason he was willing to speak about it was that he believed that no matter what, his family would trust and believe in him. He never expected to be mocked in the face like that.

"Yeah, Jianyou. Your sister Ziyan received an award in the art exams when she was ten, and that was her only achievement in her entire life. As for the exams, if I am not sure, she always failed in three subjects because if she had done well like your Sister Ruochen, then she would have been able to get a job on her own and wouldn’t have had to waste our hard-earned money or scheme for it." Han Yong sneered as he walked out of his room. His hair was a mess, and he was running his hand through it to settle his mane down.

"You—!" Meng Yunhan’s face flushed with anger. "How can you talk to your sister like that?"

"What? I am just leading Jianyou by your example. You were the one who just taught me how to teach a child...by putting him down, and given that Ziyan is pregnant before marriage, I believe she needs more teaching than Jianyou." Han Yong retorted with an innocent look in his eyes.

Meng Yunhan: "...."
