Huang Jingjing was not someone who could be taken advantage of.

How could she take it lying down after being mocked by Chen Li?

She suppressed the anger in her heart.

“Chen Li, your son’s luck in finding things is really amazing! He’s indeed impressive. I can’t help but admire him.”

Huang Jingjing changed the topic and said with a look of pity on her face, “It’s just that he isn’t very lucky in his studies. The school now wants to segregate classes based on the second joint mock exam.”

“Everyone knows your son’s results. He will definitely be assigned to the Progressive class. Moreover, I heard that the principal is the one who made the policy this time. He’s impartial. It’s useless no matter who goes to plead with him.”

“What a pity, what a pity!”

“I heard from Qingli that your son has been studying quite seriously recently. After he has changed class and a new environment, with the new teachers, especially considering that he would be going to a class with all the lousy students, I wonder if your son would still be so serious. It’s really worrying,” Huang Jingjing said hypocritically. She was obviously gloating.

Immediately, the smile on Chen Li’s face froze. She looked at Huang Jingjing angrily.

It wasn’t because of Li Chengqian’s results. When Li Chengqian came back the day before, he had already told them about the results. After a round of discussion, they both felt that Li Chengqian didn’t seem to be lying.

She was angry because Huang Jingjing had called her the day before in all seriousness, pretending to be informing her of the class segregation. She had asked Chen Li to find someone to intercede and keep Li Chengqian in Grade 12 Class 5.

What Huang Jingjing said just now was very clear. She knew that it was useless to find someone to intercede!

Huang Jingjing acted as if she didn’t notice Chen Li’s anger. She continued with a smug smile, “Chen Li, I have another piece of good news for you. Qingli has obtained an opportunity to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Tianyi High School is only sending two teams.”

“The teachers said that Qingli’s team stands a chance of emerging in the top 50 in the country.”

“Do you know what it means to be in the top 50? You can have direct admission to Divine Dragon University without having to take the test!” Huang Jingjing was getting more and more proud, acting as if Jian Qingli had already obtained the admission ticket to Divine Dragon University without having to take the test.

Chen Li’s face became more and more sour. Even Li Tianlan, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, was getting visibly upset.

“This woman is quite good at talking.” Even Huang Daliang, who was focused on cooking, stepped back and sighed.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Huang Jingjing. This woman’s words are simply venomous!

She had been attacking Chen Li, starting with the ingredients, then his results, and right after that it was about Jian Qingli participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Every issue she raised was aimed at displaying her sense of superiority.

It could even be said that Huang Jingjing’s sense of superiority was built on Li Chengqian’s family.

“No wonder in my previous life, my father was so angry that he fell and broke his leg.” In his previous life, he had stuck by Jian Qingli’s side, and he had no idea how much his parents had been mocked.

Moreover, he was certain that his parents had suffered more ridicule in his previous life than this one.

This time, he got the best ingredients, so Huang Jingjing didn’t dare to talk about the ingredients later.

This time, he had obtained a spot in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition, which he hadn’t in his previous life!

Just as Li Chengqian was about to speak, Ding Ling, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but say, “Auntie, actually, Li Chengqian is also participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.”

“He’s still the captain. I’m his teammate!”

“Jian Qingli and I are not in the same team. Her captain is called Bi Jialiang!”

“Previously, in order to select the participants, the school organized an examination.”

“Li Chengqian represented our team in the exam. He got first place, 100 marks!”

“Bi Jialiang came in second, 58 marks!”

“Jian Qingli knows this best. If you don’t believe me, ask her.”

Instantly, the smile on Huang Jingjing’s face froze.

At this moment, Jian Qingli, who had gone out to take photos, happened to return. When she saw her mother’s stiff expression, she asked in confusion, “Mom, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Why didn’t you tell me that Li Chengqian is also participating in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?” Jian Qingli had told her that she was participating in this competition, but she didn’t say a word about anything related to Li Chengqian.

“You didn’t ask me!” Jian Qingli replied in confusion. Then, she thought of what Huang Jingjing usually did and seemed to have figured out what was going on.

She knew her mother too well. She loved to show off, compare, and find a sense of superiority.

Instantly, she understood what had just happened.

Then, her face turned as red as a monkey’s butt.

At this moment, Chen Li asked Li Chengqian, “Son, why didn’t you tell us about your participation in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?”

“Mom, actually I don’t think it’s important at all. It’s not something worth showing off, so I didn’t tell you.” Li Chengqian said calmly.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Huang Jingjing couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her face and ears turned red, and she wished the earth could swallow her up.

Thanks to Bi Jialiang, Jian Qingli was qualified to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition. Huang Jingjing wanted to tell everyone in the world and win their praises.

As for how Li Chengqian did it, how he obtained first place in the school exam, he didn’t breathe a word to anyone.

In comparison, Huang Jingjing felt even more embarrassed.

Then, she pulled Jian Qingli and left without saying a word.

“Son, this is so satisfying! I’ve never seen your Auntie Huang look so upset.” Chen Li was all smiles. Huang Jingjing had been irritating her for three years. This time, she could finally hold her head high.

She felt the gloom accumulated in her heart was swept away, and she instantly felt refreshed!

“Mom, I said before that I would make you proud. Did you think I said that for fun?” Li Chengqian laughed.

“Hey, kid, I just said you’re fat, and you’re already panting!” Li Tianlan scolded with a smile.

…

On the way back, Jian Qingli looked at Huang Jingjing, who was visibly upset, and asked carefully, “Mom, were you showing off in front of Aunt Chen that I participated in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?”

“What’s wrong with you, child? How could you set me up like this? Why didn’t you tell me that Li Chengqian had also qualified to participate in the Junior Informatics Programming Competition?” Huang Jingjing said angrily. Jian Qingli was a sabotager. If she had known that Li Chengqian had also qualified to participate in the competition, she definitely wouldn’t have broached this topic.

“You didn’t ask me!” Jian Qingli rolled her eyes at Huang Jingjing and defended herself.

“Moreover, Bi Jialiang said that Li Chengqian’s theoretical results are indeed very good, but his practical hands-on experience is nil.”

“Furthermore, Li Chengqian isn’t studying properly. Recently, he’s been playing computer games every day. He won’t gain anything from the Junior Informatics Programming Competition.”

“Bi Jialiang’s judgment is that Li Chengqian will be eliminated in the preliminary round. He’s destined to be eliminated. Why should I tell you!” Jian Qingli said unhappily.

“Is that so?” After Huang Jingjing heard this, she thought for a moment and told Jian Qingli, “Qingli, when your preliminary exams are over, you must tell me Li Chengqian’s results!”

“Also, aren’t you guys going to take the second provincial joint mock exam next week? After the results are out, ask around about Li Chengqian’s results and then update me.”

“Li Chengqian’s grades are so bad, he will definitely be assigned to the Progressive class. Why are you asking about his grades!” Jian Qingli said in confusion.

“Don’t worry about what I’m using it for. Just help me find out when the time comes.” In fact, Huang Jingjing couldn’t take this lying down at all.

When the results of the second provincial joint mock exam are released, she would talk to Chen Li and get her payback for what happened today.
