Chapter 377: Chapter 377

The test results were as expected by everyone, none of them passed; each one was a big failure.

Hua Miaozhu looked through their test papers one by one, only shaking her head at each one.

"Seriously, Zhao Gang, why are you behaving like a child?" Hua Miaozhu really couldn’t handle Zhao Gang. How old is Zhao Guangran, and here he is bickering with a child? Truly, he’s just regressing further.

Yes, his own father was behaving like a child. Zhao Guangran was furious. Although he was familiar with failing, he had never done it this disastrously.

Staring at the big score of 10 on the test paper, Zhao Guangran found it glaringly unpleasant.

What annoyed Zhao Guangran most was that the combined score of Chinese and Math didn’t even exceed thirty, which was utterly unacceptable to him.

Mind you, Gong Ruini also failed, but she scored 57 in one subject and 56 in another, not far from the passing score. Her single subject was twice the score of his two. Zhao Xuran’s face turned as red as a monkey’s buttocks.

"Grandma, Dad’s being mean." Zhao Guangran complained indignantly.

Gong Ruini stared at the two test papers with a sallow face. She clearly remembered aiming for scores in the forties. How did she end up with such results? Is this even real?

Even if it’s a failing score, being over fifty was still eye-catching. Hadn’t she noticed Zhao Guangran sneaking peeks at her paper several times?

Her gaze could almost ignite flames. Gong Ruini was genuinely uncomfortable.

"Ni Zi, you did well." Zhao Xuran thought Gong Ruini was uneasy because she hadn’t achieved a good score, so he immediately offered comfort.

"Look at my scores." Zhao Xuran knew his father was internally fuming, not just because of Zhao Guangran but also for other reasons. Still, there was no need to take it out on him , was there?

Zhao Xuran didn’t expect Zhao Gang to make too many concessions, but at least he shouldn’t let their scores be this terrible.

Zhao Xuran shot Zhao Gang an unhappy glance. Now look what’s happened, none of them scored well, especially Zhao Guangran, who set a new low. Dad could now bring this up occasionally and finally regain some dignity, right?

Zhao Xuran’s look left Zhao Gang with nothing but avoidance. When he initially created the test paper, he was also full of frustration and didn’t think it through properly. If Cai Ming hadn’t reviewed his test paper, who knows how many zeroes would have appeared?

Even though some questions were revised, the difficulty hadn’t decreased much. Zhao Gang was genuinely satisfied when the kids scored , "Actually, you did quite well."

Isn’t this just nonsense? Gong Ruini internally criticized relentlessly. Who knows how far the limits were overstepped? Fortunately, Zhao Gang wasn’t a teacher. Otherwise, with the way he set questions, countless kids would go home to get a thorough scolding from their parents and then taste Jiangnan’s spring specialty, bamboo shoots with pork.

When Zhao Guangran heard Zhao Gang say they did well, his eyes lit up. Hahaha, with backing from his father, doesn’t that mean they wouldn’t face punishment?

Of course! How could his dad set such difficult questions? Did he really think they were all geniuses?

Looking pitifully at Zhao Gang, Zhao Guangran was silently chanting in his heart, "No punishment, no punishment for this exam."

Zhao Gang naturally saw the look in Zhao Guangran’s eyes, "Zhao Guangran, don’t get cocky. Look how low your score is; the so-called ’not bad’ scores don’t include you."

For this grading, Zhao Gang personally took charge. Seeing his son’s abysmal scores left him quite angry. Clearly older than Gong Ruini, yet their scores were drastically different.

Yeah, that’s going too far. Zhao Guangran was really angry. This kind of test, if given to the more advanced sixth graders, wouldn’t guarantee a good score, and he’s only in a few grades learning fourth-grade content.

"Don’t be unconvinced. Look at Ni Zi’s scores, aren’t you studying together?" Zhao Gang felt a sense of shame upon looking at his son, as his results were exceptionally poor.

"Your total from two subjects was just 28, while Ni Zi’s single subject was 56. Reflect on your scores."

"When you multiply your total by 2, it’s still Ni Zi’s score for one subject." Zhao Gang indicated he wouldn’t let Zhao Guangran off so easily, intending to give him a harsh lesson.

With a total of 28 points from two subjects, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but laugh, almost unable to stay seated. Ever since the test papers had been distributed, she hadn’t glimpsed Zhao Guangran’s score.

But from his sour expression, she knew his score wasn’t good; she just didn’t expect it to be this bad.

"Pfft." Someone laughed without hesitation. Although the laugh wasn’t loud, it happened during a quiet moment after Zhao Gang mentioned Zhao Guangran’s scores, making it seem louder.

Gong Ruini quickly clarified, "It wasn’t me who laughed." Although inside, she was laughing uncontrollably, it truly wasn’t her. With scores already this bad, there’s no need to further crush Zhao Guangran.

Gong Ruini was genuinely worried that if she laughed out loud, who knows how furiously Zhao Guangran might react.

"It was me laughing." A brave soul stood up, Gong Ruwen looking very sincere and apologetic, "I just didn’t expect Guangran to score so poorly."

Gong Ruwen... Zhao Guangran had considered many people who might have laughed, but he’d never thought it would be Gong Ruwen. Why? Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs nοvelfire.net

Not because he thought Gong Ruwen would never engage in mockery. Yet here he was laughing and explaining why, almost making Zhao Guangran blow a fuse.

Gong Ruwen had been corrupted by his sister Gong Ruini, Zhao Guangran kept drawing circles in his mind against Gong Ruini. Hmph, it was her fault for not teaching her brother well! Now even the best-behaved Gong Ruwen was swayed, leaving Zhao Guangran wondering how he’d live at home in the future.

Thinking about having no allies at home, Zhao Guangran experienced all sorts of headaches.

"It’s the truth, right?" Gong Ruwen looked at Zhao Guangran with a straightforward face.

Big brother is awesome. If it weren’t for considering Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini would have really given him a big thumbs up.

See, that honest people sometimes really know how to set someone straight, leaving the other party unable to retort. Like now, Gong Ruwen had Zhao Guangran this infuriated, to the point of nearly bleeding, and unsure how to retaliate.

Zhao Guangran turned his head away, refusing to look at Gong Ruwen, "Yes, I didn’t do well, but none of us passed."

Zhao Guangran showed that he wouldn’t continue quarreling with Gong Ruwen; he must have been stupid to have forgotten something important—everyone who failed faces the same punishment. What was he doing squabbling with Gong Ruini for?

"59 points and 10 points get the same treatment." Zhao Guangran boasted towards Gong Ruini, hmph, scoring well—so what? You’re still going to face punishment.
