Chapter 39: Excellent student, attitude change
Everyone was talking about it, but when they saw Cheng Fenghao and Chu Xiyan appear, they immediately shut up to avoid causing trouble.
Cheng Fenghao's face darkened, and he felt that the students' reactions were a little strange.
Chen Yang, however, spoke frankly, "Class Leader Chu, Cheng Ye got the first place in the city!!"
Chu Xiyan was stunned, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. No. 1 in the city?
Then, her doubt turned into complete shock.
It has only been a short time, and Cheng Ye has actually ranked first in the city? !
She first ruled out the possibility of cheating. There were several invigilators and high-definition cameras in each classroom, so cheating was impossible.
What's more, can cheating only result in a 1 point deduction? !
Chu Xiyan's heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly supported the old man of the Chu family to the results bulletin board.
When they saw that this was indeed the case, not only Chu Xiyan, but even the old man of the Chu family had a flash of obvious approval in their shrewd eyes.
He stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Not bad, granddaughter, it seems that the marriage agreement that Mr. Cheng and I made for you and Cheng Ye is still feasible."
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, feeling mixed emotions.
Did Cheng Ye really transform from a useless student to an excellent student?!
As soon as Cheng Fenghao caught up, he heard the old man of the Chu family praising Cheng Ye generously.
He was so jealous that his teeth were about to break!!
With his grades, he ranks fifth in the city, which is already a very good result.
However, compared with Cheng Ye's results, it seemed a little inferior.
Cheng Fenghao felt extremely aggrieved. He had underestimated Cheng Ye.
This kid has been deliberately hiding his abilities before!
The old man of the Chu family was also a shrewd person. He vaguely sensed that Cheng Fenghao was unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Fenghao, you did well in the exam too!"
Cheng Fenghao responded with a stiff face, "Grandpa Chu, I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations of me."
The old man of the Chu family nodded symbolically, "Xiyan, take me to your class."
Hearing this, Chu Xiyan roughly guessed the real purpose of her grandfather's visit.
He came here to find Cheng Ye.
Although she didn't understand what her grandfather wanted to talk to Cheng Ye about, Chu Xiyan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Cheng Ye's nearly perfect score.
In her inherent impression, Cheng Ye is an uneducated and troublesome person.
Suddenly becoming the number one in the city made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll take you there right away." Chu Xiyan replied gently.
The moment they turned around, Cheng Fenghao's face suddenly turned as black as ink.
His expression was cracked, which was particularly embarrassing.
In the past, when the old man of the Chu family came to school, he would never even look at Cheng Ye. Even if he saw Cheng Ye, he would ignore him as if he were air.
Every time the old man of the Chu family came over, he would come to see him and ask him about his recent studies and how he was getting along with Xiyan.
He could clearly feel that the old man of the Chu family had placed extremely high hopes on him.
But now...
The old man of the Chu family made a 360-degree change in his attitude towards Cheng Ye.
The speed of the change left him stunned!
Cheng Fenghao clenched his two fists hanging at his sides.
The wealthy are the most ruthless!
In the eyes of wealthy families, strength is everything!
In terms of study, he needs to work harder and must not be outdone by Cheng Ye! !

Classroom of Grade 1 ().
There are still fifteen minutes until morning self-study begins.
Cheng Ye had nothing to do, so he started looking through the advanced mathematics materials he had bought.
Jiang Mian had his back to him, holding his phone, looking at something.
Even with his back to him, Cheng Ye could still feel the little joy emanating from Jiang Mian.
His eyes that were staring at the book suddenly paused, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Mian who had his back to him.
Cheng Ye couldn't help but wonder, what was he doing so secretly?
He stood up gently, trying to get closer to see what she was doing.
It turned out that Jiang Mian was even more cautious than him. He turned off the screen of his phone, pretended nothing had happened, and put the phone in the pocket of his school uniform jacket.
Cheng Ye was suspicious for a moment.
At this moment, he inadvertently saw Chu Xiyan and the old man of the Chu family appearing at the door.
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, and with an uneasy look on her face, she supported the old man of the Chu family and came to Cheng Ye's seat.
Almost as soon as Chu Xiyan arrived at the classroom door, Jiang Mian's excitement instantly disappeared.
Jiang Mian was sitting by the window. She supported herself on the table with her palms and slowly stood up. She said to Cheng Ye in a soft and sweet voice, "Cheng Ye, I'm going to go out for some fresh air."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ye naturally stepped aside to make way for Jiang Mian to leave.
When Jiang Mian passed by Chu Xiyan, his shoulder accidentally bumped into Chu Xiyan's arm, and he seemed to step on Chu Xiyan without noticing.
Chu Xiyan's face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Jiang Mian was like a frightened deer. He looked at Chu Xiyan's ashen face in panic, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize.
Chu Xiyan was about to lose her temper, but the old man of the Chu family signaled his granddaughter to pay attention to the proper image of a lady from a noble family. Cheng Ye was still watching.
"It doesn't matter!" Chu Xiyan gritted her teeth and let bygones be bygones, but she was filled with infinite confusion in her heart.
She is the daughter of the Chu family, and her grandfather never restricted her behavior before.
As for image?
Being from the wealthy Chu family, she never needs to look at anyone's face!
Why should we care about image? !
But what happened to grandpa today?
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips and waited for her grandfather's reaction.
The old man of the Chu family glanced at Jiang Mian who walked out of the classroom to get some fresh air. He turned his gaze back and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, you did well in the last physics competition and this mock exam."
Cheng Ye had no intention of playing coy with the old man of the Chu family. The other party's opening remarks were somewhat boring.
He replied perfunctorily, "It's OK, just like that."
Chu Xiyan's eyes flashed with shock. Just that?
Being the first in the city is not something you can get easily!!
The old man of the Chu family heard the perfunctory tone in Cheng Ye's voice.
His eyes flickered slightly, "Xiaoye, I see that you and Xiyan spend less time together alone."
"How about this, tomorrow is my 70th birthday, you can come and attend, and chat with Xiyan."
Chu Xiyan frowned beautifully.
Cheng Ye was not interested anymore. "Just get straight to the point, don't beat around the bush."
The old man of the Chu family smiled and said, "Your grandfather saved my life back then, and I will always remember it in my heart."
"Although he left us early, I will never forget his kindness."
"Xiao Ye, but I have my own selfish motives. I was not optimistic about the development of you and Xi Yan, and I also hoped that she could marry a reliable person."
"If you continue to study hard, I think you and her are a good match."
The old man of the Chu family smiled amiably, "Okay, I've said almost everything, I won't disturb you and Xiyan's studies anymore."
Chu Xiyan was completely stunned. Grandpa, what is this...
She didn't have time to react, and hurriedly helped the old man of the Chu family out of the classroom.
Cheng Ye frowned briefly.
He didn't take it seriously and quickly started doing math problems.

After school, self-study in the evening.
While Cheng Ye was packing his textbooks, his elder sister Cheng Wei appeared in his sight.
"Xiaoye, you moved to Room 301 of Building , South Second Lane, Changqingju Street, right? I'm free tonight and I can drive you there."
Cheng Ye slung the black bag over one shoulder. He didn't have time or energy to waste on Cheng Wei. "No need. Besides, I don't like being investigated so thoroughly."
"Xiao Ye, I investigated your current address just because I want to care about you. Can't you understand?" Cheng Wei said anxiously.
