Qiao Nian Went on TV
Qiao Nian Went on TV
Qiao Nian!
"Mom, I won't be back this month. I'm going to an award ceremony with my teacher in a few days. I'm one of the invited guests. I'll tell you in advance. Help me tell Dad, too."
Shen Qiongzhi returned to her senses and stopped watching the television. Her attention returned to the call. "Chen Chen, you're not coming back again?"
Ever since the joint examination, Qiao Chen had followed Wei Ling back to Beijing. She had not returned once since.
After all, she was her biological daughter. Shen Qiongzhi only had her. It would be a lie to say that she did not miss her.
"Can't you take a day off…? Rao City and Beijing are not far apart. It will only take three hours by plane."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by an impatient Qiao Chen. "The plane only takes three hours, but it will also take six hours to go back and forth. In half a day, I still have to go to the airport to board the plane. I'll have to be on the plane for a security check. I'll spend the entire day on the plane just to come back for a meal. After dinner, I have to leave quickly again. Mom, I've been busy with the music arrangement recently, you know."
Hearing her words, Shen Qiongzhi could not say anything else. Her tone became weak. "…I know."
She was quite indignant. Holding the phone, her knuckles turned white as she whispered, "But your father and I miss you very much…"
Qiao Chen seemed to be very busy on the other end of the line. The sound of a page being flipped was heard. She paused for a moment before saying, "I understand. I'll find a time to come back after attending that event."
Shen Qiongzhi immediately grinned. She was extremely happy. "Okay. Tell me in advance when you're coming back. I'll clean your room and change your bedsheets."
"…Okay." Qiao Chen was quite busy writing the music arrangement. Over the past few days, Steven had been urging her harder and harder, but there was no progress in her new song. Although the call lasted for less than five minutes, she was already frowning, and her expression was impatient. "Mom, I'm done talking to you. I'm hanging up."
"Ah, so fast?"
Shen Qiongzhi didn't want to hang up yet. Coincidentally, the television was still showing the girl being blocked by the reporters for an interview. The girl seemed to be extremely impatient from the questions. At this moment, she looked up and revealed the cold and exquisite face under the brim of her hat. The stunned reporter did not recover from her shock for a long time.
Then, it was that arrogant answer.
Full marks!
Shen Qiongzhi looked at the wilful girl in front of the camera and pursed her lips. Her eyes were filled with disgust and hatred as she whispered, "Qiao Nian went on TV."
Qiao Chen was about to hang up when she heard this. She paused. "What?"
"Didn't she take the college entrance examination? She was the first to hand in her paper for the last examination today and was interviewed by the reporters outside."
Shen Qiongzhi held her phone in one hand and clenched her fists by her side as she said disdainfully.
"The reporter asked her how difficult the exam was and how many marks she could get. How do you think she answered?"
"How did she answer?" Qiao Chen heard the name she had not heard for a long time. Her tone was very cold, similar to Shen Qiongzhi's. It was the same tone as when she did not even want to mention something.
Shen Qiongzhi sneered and picked up the remote control to switch off the TV. She rolled her eyes. "Her? She said she would get full marks."
