Chapter 82: Mistakenly Held Rich Heiress 081 (5)
“So you’ve all come together to condemn my granddaughter?” the old man of the An Family looked toward the people sitting on the couch. Despite his age, he was still the true head of the household.
Otherwise, An Toutou wouldn’t be so intent on winning his favor.
Uncle Yao’s face changed at the old man’s words. After all these years, the person he feared the most was still the elder of the An Family.
On the other side, An Toutou, with her hands twisted together, wondered if Ye Shaohua was his granddaughter, then what was she? Were her eighteen years just a joke?
“Dad, let’s take this matter slowly, but right now the Education Bureau and the internet are making a fuss, and there’s no way University Beijing is going to accept Shaohua,” An Toutou’s father spoke with some guilt, “It’s my mistake for not handling the details properly. I’ll think of a way to cover this up.”
“Yes, Uncle, don’t be too angry,” An Toutou said affectionately as she hugged Uncle Yao’s arm, “You said last time that if I did well on my college entrance exams, you would give me a set of Go stones. Does that still stand?”
Uncle Yao had always liked this niece, having doted on her as if she were his own for the past eighteen years. It was he who had introduced her to Go.
Many people didn’t know that the Yao Family had not been represented in international competition for four generations.
Uncle Yao believed that with An Toutou’s talent, she could definitely break into the international Go scene and reclaim glory for the Yao Family.
Even if An Toutou was not his own niece, he wouldn’t become distant towards her because of it.
“Of course it stands,” he said, considering An Toutou’s feelings, thus not dwelling on the issue with Ye Shaohua, “Toutou scored as the Top Scholar in the national exam this year. She’s the pride of both the An and Yao families. Looking around our circle, who could possibly compare? When are you planning the celebration banquet, brother-in-law?”
Being the Top Scholar in the national exam, something that only one person in the entire country attains each year, was an achievement at the level of the ancient Top Scholars.
It indeed was something to be proud of.
An Toutou’s mother looked at her daughter with tenderness and pride, also wanting to gloss over the recent matter with Ye Shaohua.
She had no desire to intervene anymore. Although she didn’t say it, the moment Ye Shaohua returned, she caused so much trouble. And with An Toutou’s comparison, she couldn’t help but feel some dissatisfaction toward Ye Shaohua.
She planned to find time to properly teach her own daughter, just as her brother said, to not ruin her foundation.
An Toutou remained unflustered despite nearly every gaze shifting to her. Yet out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ye Shaohua, her smile growing even brighter.
“The day after tomorrow is a good day. Shall we prepare the banquet then?” An Toutou’s father was speaking when his private phone began to ring at that moment.
Seeing that it was from the Principal of B University, his expression shifted. Could this matter have affected B University?
The others saw the number as well and did not look pleased.
As soon as he answered the phone, the eager voice of the B University Principal came through, “The person you’re trying to put into our school is Ye Shaohua?”
His voice was agitated, and Uncle Yao, who knew the Principal, was hearing such an excited tone from him for the first time.
“Dad, you’ve upset the Principal, you should talk this over with him…” An Toutou said softly, glancing over at Ye Shaohua as she spoke.
