In the huge meeting room, there were dozens of students and their families, as well as all the teachers from the academy.
There were a lot of people in the hall and it was quite lively.
As usual, Principal Gu personally presided over the exchange event. After a few words, the family members of outstanding students in each school began to speak. Only the top three students in each school will receive this honor.
The noble ladies in gold, jade and exquisite makeup were all secretly happy but pretending to be humble.
He opened his mouth and said, "My little girl is so stupid that she owes this achievement to Master's careful teaching", or "My little girl's talent is mediocre and she is able to get into the top three in the exam because of her hard work."
In short, it is mainly low-key showing off and implicit flattery.
When it was Xie Jun's turn, all the girls and ladies couldn't help but spontaneously applauded.
Xie Mingxi's name has been known to everyone for a long time. In Lianchi Academy, he is even more famous. It is no exaggeration to describe him as being admired by everyone.
And Xie Jun, as Xie Mingxi's father, came to attend the exchange event in person today and stood out among the ladies.
About half of the warm applause was directed at the handsome, elegant and personable Xie Jun.
The title of the most handsome man in the capital is by no means unfounded! Xie Jun is not only handsome in appearance, but also has a deep and sweet voice. The corners of his lips are slightly raised, and there is a smile in his eyes.
Ladies, keep on applauding!
Xie Jun stole the show and felt very happy.
Over the years, wherever he went, everyone treated him politely and courteously, and most of them were directed at the Huainan Palace. No matter how warm they were on the surface, they would inevitably make fun of him in private.
He knew this very well, but he had no choice but to pretend he didn't know it.
Today is different.
Everyone looked at him with eyes full of admiration. They admired his ability to teach his daughter, and admired him for having such an outstanding daughter. This admiration was completely different from the attention he got from his in-laws.
This feeling is really good.
…
When Xie Mingxi quietly entered the conference room, what he saw was Xie Jun returning to his seat gracefully amid the applause of everyone.
The sixth princess laughed softly.
Xie Mingxi glanced at the Sixth Princess with a faint smile: "What are you laughing at?"
The sixth princess lowered her voice and replied: "I was laughing. Except for your appearance, you are completely different from your father."
Bad bamboo produces good bamboo shoots!
Xie Mingxi heard the implication of the sixth princess's words and twitched her lips without saying much.
Naturally Yan Zhenzhen and her daughter, who came in behind them, also saw this scene.
Mrs. Yan's eyes were hot and stuffy, and she couldn't help scolding Yan Zhenzhen again: "Look at Mr. Xie, how beautiful you are today. You are a failure, and I have loved you in vain."
Yan Zhenzhen bit her lip hard and almost cried again on the spot.
Xie Mingxi suddenly turned her head and said calmly: "We are late, so we just find a corner to sit down. Someone is speaking today. Mrs. Yan might as well listen to it and learn how to be a dedicated and responsible mother."
Mrs. Yan: "..."
Mrs. Yan almost choked out.
Xie Mingxi and the Sixth Princess sat in the corner together.
Mrs. Yan's expression changed, and finally she led Yan Zhenzhen to another corner.
…
Li Xiangru's mother, Mrs. Li, walked up to the crowd gracefully and acted "low-key" and "self-effacing" as usual.
The ladies whispered quietly.
"Miss Li Er is both talented and beautiful, and she is also a lady from a well-known family. It is a pity that she is firmly dominated by Miss Xie San. She only comes in second place every time."
"Isn't that true? Mrs. Li, who is proud and arrogant, doesn't know how upset she is."
"I heard that the Li family raised their daughter carefully, but she only went there for the position of princess..."
"The third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince will all be of wedding age in a few years. Miss Li Er just can't get the best, so there is no problem in marrying an ordinary prince..."
"Keep your voices down, Mrs. Li is already here. It's not good if she hears you."
So, when Mrs. Li returned gracefully, the ladies quickly sat up straight and each showed an elegant and reserved smile.
It was as if nothing had been said just now.
Mrs. Li also pretended not to notice anything, smiled at them and then took her seat gracefully.
In fact, I don't feel very depressed at all.
Second! Second!
There is only one noun missing from No. 1, but when it is mentioned, there is always a subtle embarrassment.
Xie Mingxi is always first, and Li Xiangru is always second.
When everyone praises Li Xiangru, they must mention Xie Mingxi again. This feeling of being pushed down everywhere is really terrible!
…
The next person to speak was Fang Ruomeng's aunt, Luo Shi.
The circle of ladies in the capital is neither too small nor too big.
What happened in the Fang family's inner house has long been passed down by word of mouth.
Luo treated her concubine harshly and was deprived of her housekeeper's rights. She had to pretend to be sick to cover up her appearance. She had not left home at all in the past few months.
Luo Shi gritted his teeth with hatred, and had to force a smile, making an expression like "My daughter is so outstanding, and I am so proud as my aunt"...
It's a pity that Luo's expression is stiff and his words are insincere. His acting skills urgently need to be improved!
Fang Ruomeng didn't care at all, his eyes were shining and his back straightened unconsciously.
Lin Weiwei beside her whispered: "Your mother is a bit too much. If I don't want to see you at home, I should be warm and happy today."
Look at that helpless look!
It’s really an eyesore!
Fang Ruomeng didn't mind at all and whispered, "Actually, I'm quite happy to see her like this."
Over the past many years, she and her mother-in-law had been bullied to the point of being out of breath. She had fantasized about how many times her aunt would bow her head and give in. Unexpectedly, this scene would actually become a reality.
Happiness comes unexpectedly!
Lin Weiwei laughed dumbly: "You have become too wilted!"
Fang Ruomeng pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two rows of thin teeth.
…
After a while, Luo Shi came back with a smile on his face.
Fang Ruomeng stood up with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
All around were interested eyes watching the excitement.
Luo Shi had to continue to squeeze out a "gentle and loving" smile: "What a hard work it is. You did so well in the annual exam, and I, as a mother, also benefited from the glory. I can show my face in front of everyone today. I don't know how much I feel in my heart."
Happy."
The word "happy" was spoken through gritted teeth, and a rather beautiful face was slightly distorted.
The daughter of a humble servant who had never been looked down upon in the past was admitted to the Lotus Pond Academy in one fell swoop, which overshadowed all the legitimate daughters of the Fang family. Even her, the legitimate mother, suffered a great loss.
Her power as housekeeper was taken away, and she had no face to come out to see people, so she had to complain that she was sick.
Speaking on stage today was even more of a joke.
In the past, if Fang Ruomeng had seen his aunt being so angry and unhappy, he would have been so frightened that he would have lowered his head to apologize.
Today, she had the courage and confidence to continue to hold her chest and head high, and responded loudly: "Thank you, mother, for the compliment."
