Volume 1 Chapter 31 Han Luos Result (1/2)

”Young Miss, please wait for me.” The butler was hurriedly running after a six years old girl. She was wearing a white shirt with a red tie around her white collar. A navy blue beret was gracefully on her head, matching her navy blue skirt and shoes the shoes decorated with white lace. Her shiny black hair was tied into two braids which danced in the air as she ran. She was carrying a pink school bag on her shoulders, contrasting from her clothing.

”I can't wait!” The girl giggled and sprinted even faster.

After much effort, the butler had finally caught up to her. He panted heavily as he worriedly said, ”Young Miss, you shouldn't run like that. What if you were to fall down?”

”I won't fall!” The girl darted down the road to a huge mansion. The door of the mansion was open. She paused and quickly took off her shoes before scurrying up to the second floor. The girl reached her destination and took a deep breath before politely knocking on the door.

”Enter.” A manly voice could be heard from inside the room.

The girl turned the doorknob and went inside the room. She saw a man sitting on the couch who was looking through some doc.u.ments. The girl grinned radiantly and exclaimed, ”Uncle, uncle I came first place this year!”

The middle-aged man looked up and smiled upon hearing the good news. His hair had turned grey because of his painful workload, but his dark expression instantly brightened up. ”You did? That's wonderful! Let me see your results.”

The girl sat beside him and handed over the blue book. The man opened it and chuckled. ”Full marks in every subject! Luo'er you have done a good job despite being sick. I am very proud of you.”

”I couldn't have done it if it weren't for you, uncle,” Han Luo sweetly sung. She couldn't keep in her happiness.

Han Luo had passed the first year of elementary school.

Previously, throughout her entire time in kindergarten, she had nearly always come first place. Han Luo's cousin, who was older than her by a year, was studying in the same class as her. Her cousin was scolded by her father after she got fifteenth place. Han Changhong chided, ”Look at Luo'er. She is a year younger than you, yet she can do better than you. You are both in the same class, so you cannot give me any excuses! What were you doing the whole year? No more dolls and dresses for you, Luilui!”

Han Luilui panicked and asked for her mother's help. Du Liu defended her. ”She tried her best and got fifteenth place. Shouldn't you congratulate her? Many students received fewer marks than her.”

Han Changhong snapped at his wife. ”If you didn't pamper her and let her play with dolls day and night, she could have done better. It's the first year of kindergarten and the first year is very important, yet she did not get a good mark! A whole life is waiting ahead of her. The more she grows up, the harder the path will become. Can she ever win with fifteenth place? We won't always be by her side to support her. If you can't teach her what's more important and what's less important now, by the time she grows up, she will turn into an idiot who doesn't know what to prioritize.”

When the two girls were in their second year of kindergarten, Du Liu bribed the teachers to get the questions on the exam.

”Ma'am, instead of begging us for the questions, why don't you get your daughter to actually study properly?”

This was Du Liu's third attempt to get the exam questions from the teacher in charge of the exams. ”My daughter is studying very, very hard! More than what a young girl her age should do”
