Upon hearing Lin Wanqin's inquiry, a flicker of guilt crossed Ye Xiyuan's eyes. She maintained a calm demeanor and replied, "It's just like that. Can't say it was too challenging."
She sensed that today's exam was a disaster, but admitting that was out of the question. She understood the high expectations her parents held for her, especially given the recent attention on her. Many awaited eagerly to see her stellar performance in the college entrance exam.
She found herself in a precarious situation, unable to disclose any vulnerabilities. As for the future, she decided to deal with it when the time came. The exam results wouldn't be out so quickly, allowing her some time to strategize.
"That's fantastic." Lin Wanqin beamed with joy. "Xiyuan, I knew you'd achieve great results. I'll make sure everyone sees what an outstanding daughter I have."
Ye Xiyuan wore a smile, but her inner turmoil was palpable.
