Chapter 447: Chapter 447

Chen Chaonan was quite surprised when she heard about Huo Feng getting a girlfriend.

At that moment, Chen Chaonan’s expression froze, and a sense of discomfort she could feel surged from her heart, suddenly plunging her mood to rock bottom...

Watching Huo Feng’s triumphant smile, Chen Chaonan felt like she was having an illusion, thinking he was joking with her. So, hoping for the best, she asked, "You’re kidding, right? You’re not in a relationship, are you? Your grades are so poor, and yet you’re dating? Can’t be that foolish..."

She asked him several questions in a row, and eventually, she managed to soothe herself and convince herself over.

However, Huo Feng didn’t give her any hope, directly overturning her self-comfort, "Just because I have bad grades means I can’t date? Do I need to tell you about dating a top student? Is it necessary to inform you that my girlfriend is tutoring me, preparing to get me into Tsinghua? I told you, I’m lowkey, a simple person, lowkey, the kind who will achieve great things! Unlike you!"

Huo Feng tapped on the table with his finger, "Always showing off your grades, boasting about six A’s! I’m not exaggerating at all, even if I, Huo Feng, get into Tsinghua, I’ll remain humble! Never boastful!"

Huo Feng suddenly elevated himself to much higher levels with his own boasting.

However, at this moment, Chen Chaonan couldn’t focus her attention on academic grades...

Her attention was completely captured by the words ’girlfriend’...

She just found out that Huo Feng had gotten himself a girlfriend.

Without any hints, suddenly single no more.

The disappointment in Chen Chaonan’s heart uncontrollably appeared on her face, causing her to lose her energy to speak.

Seeing her dejected face, Huo Feng felt even more triumphant!

He thought Chen Chaonan was upset because he had a top student from the whole city as a girlfriend and because his academic performance improved, putting him in line to possibly surpass her!

Huo Feng, who had been suppressed by Chen Chaonan’s grades for so many years, finally saw a chance to turn the tables today!

Huo Feng was quite pleased with himself!

"Big bro! Did you rank first in your class this exam! Is it the first by positive numbers?"

At the same desk, one of Huo Feng’s chubby little brothers also heard this news and widened his eyes in surprise!

Huo Feng immediately pointed at the chubby kid, responding cheerfully with a bright smile, "Keep it lowkey, my natural destiny is to be first! Remember, study more like your brother, eat more vegetables than meat, exercise more and be less lazy. Persist with this, and someday you’ll be handsome, slim, and smart too!"

The chubby kid nodded vigorously. Then, turning around, he loudly told his mom, "Mom, next time you can’t say big bro is all brawn and no brains! Big bro got first place! I can admire him even more now! Ye!"

The world of children is pure, full of innocence, adorable and simple!

But speaking without a filter can also be quite frightening...

Huo Feng’s disdainful gaze landed on the chubby kid’s mom, causing her face to turn red in embarrassment and shy away from facing Huo Feng.

"Xiaofeng, what Auntie said was absolutely a slip of the tongue, really didn’t mean much, so please don’t take it to heart."

Huo Feng pounded his chest with his fist, unabashedly responding to her, "I remember all of it! Don’t be polite, you’ll look up to me eventually!"

he’s always polite to elders, usually never stirring any dissatisfaction.

But if any elder looks down on him, Huo Feng won’t play nice either.

When dealing with disrespectful people, Huo Feng definitely doesn’t practice respect for the elderly!

All in all, the aunt ended up with an embarrassed face, blushing out of awkwardness.

Unfortunately, the chubby kid at her side continued with his innocent romantic ideas, "Mom, see, I told you big bro is amazing! You always tell me to play less with big bro, but I learn so much from him every time! See, big bro still tops the class even though he loves to play!"

"Okay, stop talking, eat your food," wept the mom of the chubby kid...

"Big bro! You are my idol! I will definitely become as handsome, smart, and slim as you!"

The chubby kid gave Huo Feng a meaty thumbs up, his face wearing a silly smile.

Huo Feng had a special liking for the chubby kid, waving his hand proudly, "Well said. You just have to keep an eye out like me."

This time, the noise from the children’s table inevitably attracted the attention of a whole table of adults in the next private room.

Huo Hai heard someone praising Huo Feng and felt it was about time to show off his grandson’s achievements.

Just as he was about to speak, at the same table, Chen Zeqing had already begun boasting about his granddaughter Chaonan’s achievements.

"Oh, our Chaonan has been studying like crazy recently. If I hadn’t insisted on her coming out today, she might have spent the whole night studying again. Tsk, tsk, the pressure on students nowadays really is tremendous. It breaks my heart to see it..."

Chen Zeqing purposely started , because right after he finished, people quickly agreed and joined in the conversation, "Yeah, the pressure on students nowadays is no lighter than on adults. Hey, Old Chen, Chaonan is in her second year of high school, right? That’s a critical year, she really needs to buckle down!"

Chen Zeqing nodded, took a sip of his liquor, and let out a "Ha~".

"Our Chaonan is extremely conscientious in her studies, and very self-motivated! Last year, hmm, she got A’s in all six subjects. She told me she wanted to go for ten A’s next time. I told her that’s impossible, we have to leave some glory for others too, ha! Of course, I was just joking. I do hope she does well."

Chen Zeqing didn’t seem to know if he was intentionally saying this, but when he did, his gaze targeted Huo Hai sitting across from him.

Huo Hai, observing Chen Zeqing’s smug face, silently bristled with competition.

"By the way, Huo Hai,"

suddenly, Chen Zeqing called to Huo Hai who was sitting opposite him, "Xiaofeng has his first mock exam in June, right? You really need to push him, those exams are important!"

Huo Hai’s mouth twitched, "I know they’re important. But it’s not up to me to push him, Huo Feng’s dad will handle that."

Suddenly put on the spot, Huo Mingshan quickly put down his chopsticks and nodded in agreement, "Xiaofeng has been improving rapidly recently, so you don’t need to worry about the mock exam. With his current level, scoring an A is well within reach."

Chen Zeqing raised an eyebrow, unable to resist undermining him, "You say Huo Feng’s level can get an A?"

"Yes. His grades have improved drastically. He moved from the bottom of his class to first place in one term, and he is among the top hundred in his grade."

Huo Mingshan boasted very modestly and unassumingly, "For this mock exam, he even started preparing early. Honestly, I haven’t really supervised him much; it was he himself who had the realization. He said he wanted to get into Tsinghua, and he started working hard on his own."

Chen Zeqing’s eyebrow arched even higher, "He even wants to go to Tsinghua? Our Chaonan hasn’t even thought about Tsinghua, and he thinks he can?"

"Hey! What’s wrong, Uncle Chen?"

Just then, Huo Feng, who was carrying a glass of red wine, unexpectedly stood behind Chen Zeqing, giving him a solid pat on the shoulder and startling him so much that his face went pale. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Uncle Chen, I’m toasting to you."

Huo Feng offered the red wine, his face bearing a sly, seasoned smile, "Sorry about that, I was just about to wish my grandfather a happy birthday when I suddenly overheard you discussing me. Ah, I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems I’ve piqued the uncles’ curiosity."

Chen Zeqing turned around to face Huo Feng and bluntly asked, "Kid, are you serious about applying to Tsinghua? You do know how tough it is to get in, right?"

Huo Feng laughed, "As tough as Tsinghua is, it’s not impossible. I’m only in my first year of high school. With some hard work, I still have a chance, right, Dad?"

Huo Mingshan waved his hand dismissively, teasingly said, "Hey, don’t boast in front of your Uncle Chen. His granddaughter is a top student; how could you dare show off!"

"Oh dear, Uncle Chen, I really am showing off."

Huo Feng clinked his wine glass against Chen Zeqing’s, "My apologies for that. Let the elder forgive the younger, and please forgive my exaggeration."

Chen Zeqing took a sip from his wine glass, for a moment, unsure how to respond to Huo Feng.

To praise or to criticize?

After a sip of red wine, Chen Zeqing was still somewhat incredulous, "Kid, you really ranked first in your class?"

"That can’t be faked. Huo Feng’s report card is still with me, ha..."

Just then, Huo Hai burst out laughing, entering the conversation while pulling out Huo Feng’s very crumpled report card from his pocket and showing it to a colleague beside him, "Take a look, I’m also seeing him rank first for the first time. Quite shocking!"

"Really, impressive..."

The colleague nodded and passed the report card along to another.

Suddenly, the whole table erupted in praise, nodding and extolling Huo Feng’s achievements.

This scene was a heartwarming sight! Three generations of Huo Family men all wore proud smiles!

Finally, when the report card reached Chen Zeqing, he too looked shocked, "Wow, he really is first. Is it easier to rank first at Longxiang School? It’s probably not a key class, right?"

Chen Zeqing really knew how to ask questions...

The three generations of the Huo Family were left speechlessly choking up, "..."
