Chapter 174: Show Off
Jiang Yao smiled awkwardly. She didn’t understand what was wrong with these people. She had 3 sons who were so outstanding but they had to focus on Mo Li. These people also had no idea that Mo Li had been faking it all along. It was because they had been too partial to Qiao Qing that Mo Li purposely scored bad in school.
Being attacked like that by Mother Wei, Jiang Yao was rather annoyed but she was too graceful to say anything before the other guests. She smiled and said, “Of course, we all know the Wei Family is always good in family education.”
“I mean look at Qiao Qing, she is such a good seed. How bad of a parents you must be to have raised her like this? A child’s failure reflects on their parents too.” Mother Wei continued in a casual tone, “Speaking of, if you ask me, for good family education, both parents and children must work hard. In a bit, I will recommend a few books for everyone to go back and study.”
The smile on Jiang Yao’s face was visibly getting frostier. However, she still didn’t get into an argument with Mother Wei. The latter took this as weakness and continued to push. She narrowed her eyes condescendingly at Mo Li. “I hear that Mo Li has shown great improvement for Pearl River’s IMO this year, she finally no longer scores last in class!”
Hearing that, Jiang Yao’s expression eased up a little as a smile appeared on her face. “Li Li has indeed improved a lot. For this year’s IMO…” Before she finished, she was cut off by Mother Wei. “But if you ask me, IMO is nothing impressive. In fact, our Wei Lan never intended to participate in one. Her school has always begged her to participate but she always refuses. There was one time when the IMO occurred as the same time as her university’s academic conference. In the end, she chose to attend the conference and gave the key-note speech.”
Wei Lan took out the cup of milk tea she brought from home and shoved the flower tea Old Madam Mo had served to the side. “The IMO is indeed very famous but as someone who truly appreciates learning, it stinks too much of a popularity contest. Learning cannot be utilitarian. Therefore, I chose to attend the conference. After all, I don’t want to flaunt my knowledge, I know where I stand.”
The other guests looked at Wei Lan with approval. They saw great future in her. The other guests heard that the Mo Family’s idiotic daughter had achieved extraordinary result in the IMO. However, they still had their reservation about the authenticity of Mo Li’s results.
“Oh right, since both Mo Li and Lan Lan are here, I have a problem that I need your help to solve. You know that my son has found a high IQ Russian fiance. She has given him a question to solve, she said she would not continue to see him if he couldn’t solve it. I saw the question she left behind and I wonder if you can help me solve it.” Old Madam Mo happily took out the paper she had been keeping in her bag. Since Wei Lan the genius was there, she wouldn’t need to spend money to find a math professor to help her anymore.
Wei Lan was intrigued while Mo Li only took a glance at it. Mo Li instantly saw how difficult the problem was. The Russian girl probably had no interest in Young Master He and was using this way to fend him off.
Unfortunately, he was not Mo Li who had already solved the question in her mind. The question was difficult but not for Mo Li.
Mother Wei said, “Li Li, do you even understand what’s written there? If you don’t, there’s no need to pretend. Elder Lin and Lan Lan’s grandfather are both experts in this area. If they test you in person, you’ll only make a fool of yourself.”
Jiang Yao turned to Mother Wei and demanded in a shaking voice, “What do you mean by that?”
“Well, there are geniuses and dunces in this world. I just don’t want Li Li to mistake her role in this world simply because she has done well in the IMO. One has to know how much one is capable off. Come, Lan Lan, explain to Li Li how one is supposed to solve this question.”
