Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Did I Get it Wrong? Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Did I Get it Wrong? The principal, accompanied by several teachers and holding a large prize plaque, walked in. Everyone who saw this scene understood what was happening. The principal and teachers were here to celebrate Zhou Jingya. Zhou Jingya looked at the teachers behind the principal and felt that something was amiss. She was the top scorer in the college entrance exam; why were the teachers who accompanied the principal not her own teachers? Although Zhou Jingya was suspicious, she didn’t think too much about it; after all, she was the top scorer! Nan Qiao watched the principal excitedly shake hands with Zhou Hongqi and happily talk to him, “Mr. Zhou, Zhou really brings honor to our school. Our school has produced a top science student who has become a role model for the other students.” Zhou Hongqi: “Principal, my daughter’s excellent results couldn’t have been achieved without your school’s dedicated nurturing.” The formal conversation continued, and Nan Qiao stood aside, feeling that something was off. Why was her homeroom teacher here? Zhou Jingya was the top science student; why wasn’t her homeroom teacher here? The homeroom teacher walked up to Nan Qiao with a smile brighter than he would give his own child. “Nan Qiao, you look beautiful today, very fitting for the occasion.” Nan Qiao: ? “Teacher, why are you here?” The homeroom teacher frowned: “Nan Qiao, why shouldn’t I be here? Today is a celebration; if I don’t come, then who will?” As Nan Qiao was puzzled, the principal continued excitedly: “Today, I am truly happy. Our school has produced the top scorer in the college entrance exam, which is a great honor. Today, I would like to have a good chat with Zhou and arrange for her to come to our school to give a speech, to share her study experiences with the juniors.” Liu Yanfang pushed Zhou Jingya forward, smiling: “Principal, our Xiao Ya has always been diligent in her studies; I will have her prepare her study experiences and arrange for her school presentation soon.” After Liu Yanfang finished speaking, the teachers looked at each other bewildered. Nan Qiao’s homeroom teacher, looking puzzled, said: “Isn’t Zhou Jingya in Class 18? She shouldn’t need to share her study experiences.” Liu Yanfang spoke displeasingly: “Why can’t our Xiao Ya share? She is the top scorer. If she doesn’t share, should Nan Qiao do it?” She thinks Nan Qiao can only get into a no-name university! The homeroom teacher seriously said: “Of course, it should be Nan Qiao who goes; she is this year’s top scorer! Zhou Jingya is in a regular class, her name has never appeared on the school’s rankings.” Mr. Zhou & Liu Yanfang: What! The couple was stunned. Zhou Jingya’s cheeks burned; she felt doomed! The principal looked bemused: “Yes, this year’s top scorer is indeed Zhou Nanqiao.” Nan Qiao looked shocked: “But I checked my score; I got zero points.” The homeroom teacher explained: “That’s because your score was so high, it was temporarily hidden. You didn’t score zero; your score was just too good.” The principal looked at Nan Qiao, then at Zhou Jingya, still confused: “Did I mistake the person?” Homeroom teacher: “Principal, you didn’t mistake the person. Nan Qiao is also a child of the Zhou family; just call Mr. Zhou, it’s not a problem.” Nan Qiao explained with a smile: “Principal, I was switched at birth with the Zhou family’s child; I’ve already broken ties with the Zhou family. I came today because Ms. Liu sent me a message saying she wanted to break ties with me today, otherwise she would accuse me of not supporting her financially. However, I’ve long since had the papers drawn up to sever our parent-child relationship, and I came today also to ask Ms. Liu why she is pressing me this way.” What! The whole room erupted into an uproar. They were already surprised to see Nan Qiao as the top scorer. Now, to hear that the Zhou family had long since broken off ties with Nan Qiao was even more astonishing. Does Zhou Hongqi have some serious illness? To dismiss such an excellent daughter and instead throw a celebration for another daughter who scored only 250? Someone asked: “How much did the true daughter, Zhou Jingya, score?” The homeroom teacher, checking his phone, said: “I’ve asked her homeroom teacher; she scored two hundred and fifty points.” Everyone: ... Mr. Zhou’s face turned from dark to pale to livid with rage. Zhou Jingya’s expression was also extremely unsightly. She had thought she was the top scorer, but she had never imagined that Nan Qiao would be the actual top scorer! How could Nan Qiao score so well? Liu Yanfang was also stunned; she had had Nan Qiao come over to humiliate her. To show Nan Qiao how excellent Zhou Jingya was, how proud she was of Zhou Jingya. But now, Zhou Jingya scored only 250?? Liu Yanfang found it hard to accept; she felt faint. The homeroom teacher, surprised, looked at Nan Qiao next to him: “Isn’t today your celebration?” Nan Qiao: “Teacher, you misunderstood; today is not my celebration, it’s Zhou Jingya’s.” Homeroom teacher, dumbfounded: “A celebration for scoring 250 points?” Does this family really have no problems? The homeroom teacher’s words made the Zhou family’s faces burn as if they had been slapped. The teachers were somewhat puzzled; no celebration for the top scorer, but a celebration for someone who scored 250? “What’s there to celebrate about 250 points? Aren’t you embarrassed to even mention it?” murmured one teacher quietly. The principal awkwardly approached Nan Qiao: “I’m really sorry, student, I mistook the person.” Nan Qiao politely replied: “Principal, it’s not your fault; I also did not expect to be leaving the Zhou family.” Watching Nan Qiao being congratulated by the teachers, Zhou Jingya felt bitter. Zhou Jingya, full of grievances, asked pitifully: “Sister, did you intend to make me look foolish?” This statement made Liu Yanfang blame everything on Nan Qiao. “You did it on purpose! Your biological parents are penniless, and you just want to stay with our family, don’t you? You dress so beautifully, isn’t it just because you scored well, just to show off? Nan Qiao, I didn’t expect you to be such a scheming person!” Zhou Hongqi: “Qiaoqiao, even though you aren’t our biological daughter, haven’t I treated you well all these years? Why would you do such a thing? This is just revenge on us, isn’t it?” Nan Qiao looked up, her eyes cold and distant as she spoke to Zhou Hongqi, “Did I ask you to send me away? Did I ask you to never care about my studies, to never come to a parent-teacher meeting? Did I ask you to not look at my admission ticket number? Did I ask you to not check my scores in advance? Did I ask you to sever ties with me?” Nan Qiao’s questions overwhelmed the Zhou family. Nan Qiao then looked at Liu Yanfang: “Wasn’t it you who messaged me to come today? I dressed this way because my parents were celebrating for me, and they booked this venue too. Ms. Liu, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the manager.” Nan Qiao turned to Zhou Jingya and said: “Zhou Jingya, you know your admission ticket number better than anyone, right? Didn’t you check your own score before organizing the banquet?” The crowd finally realized that Zhou Jingya had deliberately assumed the identity of the top scorer. Tsk tsk, what poor taste!
