Start as a top student after transmigrating.

Liang Xiaoyue was stunned.

The brat always confronts his father head-on when he's scolding him. Of course, this confrontation isn't physical, but verbal. If Old Liu lays a hand on him, he runs away. If he can't escape from home, he runs outside. He has never asked her for help.

This time, things didn't follow the usual pattern.

Coming to her senses, Liang Xiaoyue smiled and waved to Liu Yumo while scolding Old Liu, "It's not that our son is criticizing you, sometimes you just don't like what you say. Isn't it a good thing that our son has changed? Why are you still criticizing him?"

"Exactly~"

Liu Yumo happily came up behind Liang Xiaoyue and proudly showed off to Liu Hongjun.

I have my mom protecting me, what can you do about it?

Unfortunately, he forgot that Liu Hongjun is not Chen Zhenjiang, and Liang Xiaoyue is not Zeng Ling.

Just as he was feeling smug, Liang Xiaoyue suddenly grabbed him from behind, "Old Liu, we caught him, come and beat him up!"

Liu Hongjun didn't stop moving at all. He knew Liang Xiaoyue too well. Just as Liang Xiaoyue pulled Liu Yumo out, the belt fell.

"Oh, Mom, you've got me into this..."

Liu Yumo was devastated. He wanted to learn from Dong Ge and his father's way of getting along, where they would bicker and have fun, but Lao Liu took it seriously.

He thought his mother could be as gentle as Dong Ge's mother and protect him from Lao Liu, but his mother sold him off instead.

Not only that, the singles match turned into a mixed doubles match. While playing, she kept telling Lao Liu to use more force. She was using quite a bit of force, as if she was afraid of not being able to kill him.

She's a tigress.

In the end, I loved the wrong person, sob sob...

……

Liu Yumo's situation is just a facade; in reality, the family is still very loving, but one person's situation is truly dire.

Shuya.

She didn't attend evening self-study, but she also didn't go home early. She followed her usual routine and didn't enter the community to go home until almost ten o'clock.

"Mom, why are you back so early today?"

As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the living room lights were on and her mother, Li Lan, was sitting on the living room sofa reading a book.

I'm not busy lately.

Li Lan said calmly, "From now on, my work hours and holidays will be adjusted to match your school and holiday schedules. I'll study with you and help you make the final push in this crucial moment."

Upon hearing this, Shuya felt a tremor in her heart instead of joy.

But he didn't dare show any unusual expression, and only gave a soft "oh".

"You didn't bring any books home today?"

Li Lan looked up and found that Shu Ya had returned empty-handed, and her expression immediately darkened.

"I... I was planning to do a test paper tonight. I have test papers at home, so I didn't bring any other books back," Shuya said hastily, her heart pounding with anxiety.

How could she possibly go back to the classroom after what happened that night?

Li Lan put down her book and looked at her without saying a word. Shu Ya didn't dare to move, keeping her head down and barely daring to breathe.

Fortunately, Li Lan didn't criticize her. Instead, she said seriously, "The first semester of senior year is almost over. You absolutely cannot slack off at this time. You must keep going and improve until you reach your best in the college entrance exam, understand?"

"Mmm," Shuya replied softly.

Li Lan's tone softened a bit, "Go wash up quickly. I'll give you ten minutes. Then come out and do the test paper. I'll do it with you. You have to get into the top five in the class for the final mock exam."

Shuya looked dejected. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Mom, I will study hard, but my mock exam results... I..."

She wasn't sure.

But she didn't dare to say it out loud.

"What do you mean, 'you'? You think you can't get into the top five?" Li Lan instantly regained her stern expression.

Shuya dared not speak, but silence was often the answer.

She really worked hard. Before, with Chen Dong protecting her, no one dared to mess with her. Her studies were not affected at all. She would also go outside for tutoring and intensive training.

She has given it her all.

But from the first year of high school until now, my best result is only sixth in the class, and I am usually ranked eighth or ninth. I can't get out of the top ten or even the top five.

She really lacked confidence in getting into the top five in the mock exam.

She had originally planned to have Chen Dong influence Ye Wanwan and the others to create an opportunity for her to break into the top five, but now that her plan had been exposed, she felt that her chances of making it into the top five were slim.

Why didn't you get in?

Li Lan was very dissatisfied with Shu Ya's attitude and slammed her hand on the sofa. "I hate your insecure attitude the most. You think this won't work and that won't work. You're just like your father back then."

"Over the years, I've raised you single-handedly with great difficulty, sparing no expense to support your education. Now, even my work hours are adjusted according to your study schedule. Do you know how much effort I've put into this?"

"And you tell me you can't do it? How can you do this to me?"

Shuya's eyes reddened, and she felt as if something was blocking her heart, making it hard to breathe.

"I don't have high expectations for you. You could relax before, but with the college entrance exam just around the corner, you have to focus on it."

"I can surpass my best score in the mock exam, even if it's just fifth in the class. It's just one ranking. If I play less and sleep less, I can definitely make up that little bit of time to study."

"Move up one place in the second mock exam, and a little more in the third mock exam. Each time you are only required to take a small step. This requirement is not excessive."

"Keep working hard and make progress step by step. You'll definitely get a very good score in the college entrance exam. Then you'll understand that Mom is strict with you because it's all for your own good."

Shuya had long since become numb to the classic lines, yet she dared not rebel.

……

Chen Dongjia, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.

"Why are you only coming back now?"

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Chen Zhenjiang asking me a question.

"Oh, I had my fourth evening self-study session, and the top student in the class, one of the top five in the grade, tutored me. Why aren't you guys asleep yet? Aren't you going to get up early tomorrow?"

Chen Dong changed his shoes and came to the living room, where Chen Zhenjiang and Zeng Ling were snuggling on the sofa watching TV, a very cozy scene.

"You have a top student tutoring you... Son, why did you change your hairstyle?" Zeng Ling was quite curious about the top student tutoring her son. She turned around to ask for details and saw Chen Dong's new hairstyle.

"How was it? Cool, right?"

Chen Dong's vain boasting.

"Handsome, my son looks handsome with any hairstyle." Zeng Ling said with a smile, still as doting as ever.

"Don't you even know whose genes you have?" Chen Zhenjiang also looked back, somewhat surprised, but that didn't stop him from showing off as well.

"Your GMOs?" Zeng Ling looked at him with disdain.

Chen Dong burst out laughing.

My mom is quite funny.

"Mom and Dad, you should get some rest. I'm going upstairs to wash up now." After chatting for a bit, Chen Dong said goodnight and prepared to go upstairs.

"Wait a minute," Chen Zhenjiang called out to him.

"Dad, is something wrong?" Chen Dong stopped and asked.

Chen Zhenjiang stood up, took out his wallet from his pocket, and then took out a few large red shrimp bills. "Take this money."

"Mom gave it to me this morning."

Chen Dong glanced at it and saw that there seemed to be six bills. This family is really well-off. Is this how they give pocket money?

"Your mom is your mom, your dad is your dad, so just take it if it's given to you."

Chen Zhenjiang handed the money forward.

Chen Dong was speechless, unsure how to describe it.

Last night I wouldn't let him ask for money, and I was ready to hit him if he dared to ask. But tonight I gave him money on my own initiative, and he was even more generous than my mother.

He may be arrogant, but Lao Chen, are you sure you're not out of your mind?

It changes faster than turning the pages of a book~
