236 Present

After they were done talking about the house, Grandpa Le stuffed a bank card into her hand.

“There’s not much money here. It’s a gift that your grandma and I have prepared for you for your college entrance examination.”

Le Wan looked at the things stuffed into her hands and was at a loss for words.

“Grandpa, you and grandma don’t have to be like this. I don’t lack anything.”

“I know you don’t lack anything.” Old Master Le sighed. “I know you’re a little angry with your grandma and me about what happened last time. Indeed, your second uncle’s family isn’t very promising. It’s just that as parents, we’re more or less a little selfish. We’ve always thought that we should be harmonious since we’re a family. Because of such selfish thoughts, someone will inevitably be wronged sometimes…”

Le Wan pursed her lips and looked down at the table without saying a word.

Even though the second branch of the Le family, from Second Uncle Le to Le Yan and Le An, only occasionally jumped out and did some terrible things, if they really wanted to pursue the matter, they didn’t do anything that was particularly life-threatening.

However, Le Wan, who had read the original owner’s story, couldn’t forget how much the Le family’s second branch had involved themselves in the tragedy of the Le family’s first branch as described in the book. Hence, Le Wan would definitely not be able to live in harmony with them.

It was already her greatest mercy that she didn’t want to kill them all as soon as she appeared.

Master Le looked at her silent expression and understood that some things were destined to be irreversible. He was sad for a moment and said,

“Your grandma is too much. She insisted on saying goodbye to her friends, so she left in a hurry early in the morning. She even said you should wait for her return.”

Seeing that the old man no longer talked about the Le family’s second branch, Le Wan finally smiled.

“I think grandma was lying when she said she was going to say goodbye. She was more serious about showing off to someone.”

As she had achieved good results in the college entrance examination, everyone in the Le family, except second Uncle Le’s family, was in a jubilant mood these two days. They couldn’t wait to pull Le Wan out for a chat whenever they saw her, just to hear the sour but helpless expressions of others who had to praise her.

Grandma Le was leaving for the Southern continent tomorrow, so she could only take advantage of today to go out and show off. Naturally, she had to seize the opportunity.

It could only be said that Papa Le loved to show off his daughter in his circle of friends not only because of his hobby but also because this was inherited in the Le family.

Therefore, when Grandpa Le heard what Le Wan said, he emphasized,

“Our baby is so outstanding. What’s wrong with praising her a little more?”

“Yes, yes, yes. I took the exam fair and square. I should be proud of my good results!”

After Le Wan had coaxed the old man, she came out of the study room and saw Le Yan.

Le Yan’s eyes lingered on the envelope in her hand. Although she couldn’t see what was inside, she thought that the things that Old Master Le had sold must be good.

There was a flash of jealousy in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and smiled.

“Big sister, I haven’t congratulated you on your good grades.”

Even Le Yan was shocked.

It was one thing for Le Wan’s results to improve by leaps and bounds in the mock exam, but she didn’t expect her to improve again in the crucial college entrance exam. She had surpassed so many people in one fell swoop and obtained second place in the province.

After seeing the report card that Papa Le had uploaded to the family group chat, Le Yan looked at it for a few seconds before being sure that it was Le Wan’s results.

To get rid of her foster parents’ control, Le Yan gritted her teeth and got into the best local school as the top student in the school. She fought for the opportunity to get a free tuition fee and a full scholarship, which made her foster parents let her continue to study in high school.

In Le Yan’s mind, she was undoubtedly proud and good at studying. However, this sense of superiority quickly disappeared after leaving her foster parents’ home and the small county to enter Mingcheng high school.

This was because the good grades that she had worked so hard to get were completely lost in the crowd at Mingcheng high school.

It was only when she was in a big city and in a school where rich kids gathered that she clearly understood the difference between people.

In her opinion, many of her classmates were not as smart as her. However, because they had an excellent learning environment and good teachers from when they were young, they could easily achieve good results even if they didn’t study very hard.

Even if they didn’t score very high on the written test, they could still speak a foreign language with a pure and fluent accent.

This natural gap, which was like a natural chasm, would have shattered Le Yan’s pride and self-esteem in her previous life, making her feel inferior.
