During the entire conversation between Cheng Ling and Elder Ding, Lu Qi just sat quietly by the side and listened.

His carefree attitude attracted Elder Ding’s attention.

“This handsome boy is the Lu Qi you mentioned during the last meal at my house, right?”

Handsome boy?

Cheng Ling was amused by this title.

She nodded.

“Yes, Grandpa Ding. This is Lu Qi, the second young master of the Lu family. And this is the head of the Lu family. You must have known them.”

Ding Shun nodded. Every year, the Lu family would prepare a grand gift for him on his birthday. It was obvious that they put a lot of effort into doing this every year. He was not involved in the business world, so he did not interact much with the Lu family. However, he could tell from such a small matter about the Lu family.

After being called out by Old Master Ding, Lu Qi stood up and shook hands with Old Master Ding. He bowed slightly, showing respect but not being humble.

Old Master Ding also happily held his hand.

“Not bad, not bad, he’s very handsome!”

The birthday boy, Old Master Cheng, and his entire family were completely ignored by Old Master Ding. They wanted to interrupt, but they could not. They were at a loss.

At this moment, Cheng Xiao raised her left hand and looked at her watch. It was eight o’clock in five minutes.

She smiled. There was still her stage to go on.

She took out her phone. “It’s almost eight o’clock now. Our school’s shortlist for this year’s Holy Land Cup physics competition will be out soon.”

Her voice was not soft, and many people heard her.

The children of many guests today were studying at Yuya First High School. Many of them were in the same grade or even the same class as Cheng Xiao. Thus the guests were paying special attention to this.

When they heard what Cheng Xiao had said, they took out their phones.

“Really? We have to take a look, too. My son also signed up to participate this year.”

“He definitely won’t be able to enter the finals. My daughter has also signed up to participate. I heard from her that the questions this time are very difficult.”

Then, everyone looked at Xie Wan. “I heard from my child that your Xiao Xiao has also participated this time. Xiao Xiao’s results are so good, she definitely can enter this competition.”

Xie Wan also smiled and agreed. “That’s right. My Xiao Xiao loves physics the most. I heard that in school, she even has the title of Little Princess of Physics.”

“Yes, yes, that’s what I heard, too.”

Seeing that the attention had returned to her, Cheng Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the few of them gathered together and said in a low voice, “I heard from my son that he saw Cheng Ling in the examination hall. Cheng Ling only went in 10 minutes after the exam started and he didn’t know what happened.”

“Cheng Ling who only knows how to farm and always gets the last place in every exam? Why would she go? Isn’t that embarrassing?”

Lu Qi, sitting in his seat, had also heard the discussion.

He glanced at his watch. It was three minutes before eight o’clock.

He put down his glass, took the car keys from Lu Dong, and walked out of the door.

Cheng Ling thought that he was going to make a work-related call, so she didn’t pay too much attention to him. Unexpectedly, a minute later, the husbands and wives who were watching the forum with their phones suddenly changed their topic from the physics competition to another.

Cheng Ling couldn’t hear it clearly. She only heard something which sounded like ‘English’.

Old Master Ding pulled Ding Yu.

“Brat, what are they talking about?”

Ding Yu took out his phone and logged in to Yuya First High School’s forum. He saw a post on the forum that was forced to be placed at the top.

The content of that post was the video of him and Cheng Ling reading the text in class one’s classroom that day. However, the difference was that the part where he read the text had been deleted!

Ding Yu was so angry that he refreshed it a few times, but he still couldn’t find his part

This wasn’t right. When he was reading this post, there was still a video of him in it. Why did it disappear now and only Cheng Ling was left?

At this moment, Lu Qi, who was sitting in the car, curled up the corners of his mouth.

The computer screen on his lap shone brightly on his face, making his eyes glow.

In the banquet hall…

Cheng Ling didn’t need Ding Yu to tell her what they were watching because she could hear herself speaking English from her phone.

Cheng Ling was a little confused. Why did they suddenly start reading this post?

Then, Lu Qi came back and sat down beside Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling saw the faint smile on his face and felt strange. Why was he so happy after taking the phone call?

Cheng Xiao certainly saw the post, too.

What’s going on?! She had already suppressed this post before, but now it was pushed to the top again?!

Looking at the number of views on this post continuously rising, she instantly felt powerless. Why was nothing going according to her wishes today?!
