Chapter 100 – Graduation Speech (Part One)

Seeing Ye Jianxing’s slightly stiff expression, Ye Yunji couldn’t help but lower his head to suppress his laughter.

Back in the day, even Dad had been berated by Grandpa to the point of hanging his head in shame. Now the tables had turned – this grandfather known for his sternness was actually rendered speechless by Yunxi’s retort. It was truly astonishing!

“Heh, you little rascal, full of tricks.”

Surprisingly, Ye Jianxing wasn’t angry. Instead, he cheerfully picked up a chicken wing for Ye Yunxi: “Eat up, isn’t this your favorite?”

Witnessing this, everyone including Butler Wen and the other servants stared in stunned silence.

This was the first time Ye Jianxing had ever actively served someone food!

Even after Ye Wanting had lived here for seven or eight years, she never received such special treatment!

It seemed the old master genuinely liked this Miss Yunxi!

But why?

Just because Miss Yunxi ranked first in Jun Yao’s entrance exam?

Could the same person who once heartlessly drove away his own son now be so soft-hearted?

That didn’t seem possible, right?

While everyone wore puzzled expressions, Butler Wen understood clearly.

There was only one thing the old master regretted.

That his own flesh and blood couldn’t inherit his legacy.

This was like ancient emperors – if any of their descendants showed even a hint of capability, the throne would never be given to outsiders.

After keeping Jiang Baichuan until late last night, Ye Jianxing hadn’t slept at all, remaining in an excited state.

It appeared that the old master, whose hopes had long been dead, had seen them rekindled after confirming Miss Yunxi’s capabilities.

But Old Master, this young lady is so difficult to control – would she really obediently follow your directions and do as you say?

That seems utterly impossible!

Butler Wen maintained his expressionless demeanor, but like Ye Jianxing, he felt both increased expectations and increased concerns regarding Ye Yunxi.

Jade must be carved to become valuable – Miss Yunxi still had a long way to go before she could securely hold the position of family head.

**

Given that Ye Yunxi had achieved the best results in Jun Yao’s entrance exam history, Imperial Middle School seized the opportunity to have her share a few words with everyone before summer vacation.

“A few words? I really don’t know what to say.”

Ye Yunxi spread her hands.

Wan Bin grew anxious: “Just say anything! Like your study methods, how did you figure out the Three-Three Formation anyway!”

Ye Yunxi chuckled inwardly – would transmigration and rebirth count as the correct answer?

Forced into this situation, Ye Yunxi had no choice. But when she stood on the venue’s podium, she instead became calm.

Looking down at the sea of dark-haired heads and countless shocked eyes, Ye Yunxi just wanted to laugh.

These people must be utterly astonished.

Someone with such poor grades, who ranked second-to-last in the all-around competition, actually entered Jun Yao with the best scores – how could they not be shocked?

Ye Yunxi smiled without speaking, and the venue fell into complete silence.

“Hey, why isn’t Ye Yunxi saying anything!”

“Frozen with fear? Probably never seen such a large crowd before!”

“But she should still say something, right?”

Helian Moye, Wang Tingting, and others grew anxious. What was Yunxi doing? Why wasn’t she speaking?

During this awkward moment, someone suddenly stood up in the back, laughing heartily: “Hey, goddess, goddess goddess! Just tell us how you managed to get first place in Jun Yao! How did you discover so many problems? How did you actually do it? Clearly you weren’t a top student before! I’m really quite curious! Please, please, please tell us goddess… balabala…”

Everyone: …

“Damn, isn’t that a South City Academy uniform?”

“Where did this chatterbox come from??”

Principal: Security? Security?! Are they eating shit or what!!
