I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 214: Congratulations!

"You were away on a business trip, how did she end up coming along?"

While Chen Yumei was in the restroom, An Hui asked Uncle Chen directly in front of Yuan Xiu and his wife.

Uncle Chen smiled helplessly: "I only found out she bought a ticket on the day I left. She said she wanted to relax after the exam and hadn't traveled far from home in so many years, so I let her come along."

"What's the point of relaxing? I think she's here to upset herself." An Hui rolled her eyes at him.

"She's childish and slow-witted, so don't take it to heart."

"I spoke to her politely because I didn't want to argue with her. If I had argued, you'd see what I said."

"I know, I know, you've always been very generous."

Yuan Xiu could tell from their conversation that her mother-in-law had the upper hand at home!

After finishing her meal, Chen Yumei pulled An Hui along, wanting her to accompany her to the local department store for a stroll.

"Since I've come all this way, I plan to buy some local specialties to take back with me. Aunt An, would you like to come with me? And sister-in-law, would you like to come too?"

Yuan Xiu shook her head: "I won't go. I have a child with me, so I can't leave."

"I'm not going either." An Hui rubbed her forehead. "I don't have much energy, and we've finished eating, so let's go back first."

"Isn't Aunt An here with Dad?" Chen Yumei asked, taking her hand.

"He has meetings every day, what would I do with him? You're here, aren't you?"

If my stepdaughter hadn't come, I would have stayed. But now, I'd better not; I'm too lazy to stay here and listen to her talk.

Uncle Chen also said, "That's fine. You can stay at Xiaozhou's house for now, and I'll contact you when I'm done with my work."

Having reached an agreement, Yuan Xiu and her group prepared to leave.

As soon as I stepped out of the Western restaurant, I heard people from the hotel next door talking about exam results and score distribution.

That means the local college entrance examination results and score breakdowns have been released and will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

"Then your sister-in-law will know tomorrow whether she passed the cutoff score or not?" Chen Yumei asked with a smile.

Yuan Xiu nodded, feeling both nervous and excited.

Chen Yumei's eyes flickered. "Dad, don't you know the director of the admissions office here? You even chatted with him for a long time yesterday. Why don't you ask him for your sister-in-law in advance, so she won't have to worry all night?"

Yuan Xiu looked at Chen Yumei and had to admit that her suggestion was... quite good!

Although her original intention might have been to embarrass herself, she was still quite willing to "go through the back door" and find out her results a day early.

Whether you cower or stick your neck out, you'll still get stabbed, so it's better to let the knife fall sooner rather than later.

Uncle Chen: "What does Xiao Yuan think?"

Knowing the results in advance is not against the rules; it's just a matter of making a phone call.

Yuan Xiu nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

The group then went back into the hotel and made a phone call using the hotel telephone.

"...It's nothing, you're too kind! Give me your name and exam number, and I'll call you back once I've checked."

After waiting for about ten minutes, the phone rang.

"Congratulations, Lao Chen! I won't mention your score, but you did really well! You've passed the university entrance exam cutoff, and even exceeded it by quite a bit! You're definitely going to university!"

The phone reception was poor, and the person on the other end was speaking loudly, so Yuan Xiu and the others standing nearby could hear everything clearly.

Yuan Xiu laughed, her bright eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Zhou, as if to say: Look! I passed the exam!

Jiang Zhou smiled and gave her a thumbs up: "Great job!"

Yuan Xiu raised her chin, a hint of pride in her voice.

An Hui patted Yuan Xiu on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Yuan! Your results are a testament to your hard work!"

Uncle Chen smiled and congratulated him, saying, "Xiao Yuan's achievement shows how hard he works!"

Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and even the two little ones could sense the adults' happiness, waving their little hands happily from their strollers.

Only Chen Yumei smiled awkwardly and offered a dry "Congratulations."

"The results here are all out, and Xiaomei's results might be out too. We happen to have her phone here, so why don't we call back and ask?" An Hui suggested with a smile.

"No!"

Chen Yumei instinctively refused, "...What I mean is that Xiao Zhou and I have already agreed that he will call me when the results are out, so we won't waste the hotel's electricity resources."

She was self-aware enough to know that she might get into university, but her score would be significantly higher than the undergraduate admission line.

She wasn't sure.

Chen Yumei didn't speak again until Yuan Xiu and the others left.

On the way back, Yuan Xiu and An Hui each held a child in their arms and sat in the back seat. Both children had small silver locks around their necks, which were gifts from Uncle Chen, their stepfather.

Because Yuan Xiu got good grades, the atmosphere in the car was very pleasant!

"Xiao Yuan can rest easy now; he'll definitely get into medical school."

Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "We'll have to wait for the admission notice to find out if I can get in."

"Your grades are good, so you'll definitely be among the first to receive your acceptance letter. It should be soon. I certainly won't be able to wait that long. Remember to send me a telegram after you receive your acceptance letter."

Yuan Xiu nodded with a smile.

After returning home, Yuan Xiu didn't tell anyone that her score had reached the undergraduate admission line. She only told Sun Ying and the others that she knew the news in the city and that she could go to the admissions office to check her score the next day.

The next day, Yuan Xiu had to go to work. As soon as the news came out in the newspaper, the hospital staff who had taken the exam lined up to ask for leave to go to the admissions office.

Yuan Xiu went with everyone.

When checking the results, they don't mention the scores, they only say whether the score met the undergraduate, junior college, or vocational school cutoff.

Yuan Xiu's inquiry results were the same as what she heard on the phone yesterday: she had passed the undergraduate admission line. As for the fact that her score was significantly higher than the undergraduate admission line, the admissions office staff did not mention it.

Congratulations, Yuan Xiu!

Congratulations to you both!

Those who passed the score line congratulated each other, while those who didn't cheered themselves on to try again next year! Others were dejected and couldn't believe they hadn't passed.

"...Check again. There's no way I failed the exam. Are you sure you didn't look it up wrong? You're probably just looking for someone with the same name."

"What's wrong with you, comrade? I've checked for you so many times, I've even shown you the list, it's you! You didn't pass! Get out of here, don't hold up the others!"

"No way, how could I not have passed? I checked my scores and estimated my results, I was sure I would pass! Waaah..."

Wang Xiaomei was kicked out by the admissions office staff while crying.

When she saw that all the hospital staff were staring at her, she realized how ridiculous she had become. Her face flushed red, and she covered her face and ran away.

"Yuan Xiu!" Wang Ting pulled Sun Ying out of another office. "We passed the score requirement! We got in!"

Yuan Xiu flashed a big smile: "Me too! Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Congratulations to you! Hahaha!
