Chapter 458: 167: A direct slap in the face, interviewing the national champion Miss Song Daxiao! _4
At these words, Beatrice Black’s eyes lit up.
She had thought that Viola Thompson was just a city girl, but it turned out that her parents were both big bosses. If she had known this earlier, she would have tried her best to befriend Viola and take her in as an adopted daughter.
Rachel Barton continued, “Mom, let’s not talk about her anymore, let’s get going.”
Beatrice Black caught up with Rachel Barton’s pace.
On the other side.
Viola Thompson and her parents, along with Mrs. Thompson, also arrived at the airport.
Eleven thirty.
The family of four boarded the plane on time.
After a flight of three hours, the plane arrived at the Capital City Airport as scheduled.
Samuel Thompson and Mandel Thompson came to meet them.
Edward Thompson and Sylvia Thompson were also there.
Edward Thompson didn’t want to come at first, but he couldn’t resist Sylvia Thompson’s persistent pleas.
Sylvia Thompson was just too kind-hearted.
Mandel Thompson picked up Viola Thompson’s luggage, “How did you do on your exams, little sister?”
Viola Thompson gave a faint smile, “Not bad.”
Not bad.
Hearing this, a nameless anger rose in Edward Thompson’s heart.
When would Vi-ola Thompson ever grow up and stop acting like this?
With her, what kind of results could she really achieve on the test?
Mandel Thompson laughed and said, “The College Entrance Examination is just a part of life’s experience, the results don’t matter, as long as you went through it.”
His sister, no matter if she was last in the rankings, was still his sister!
Sylvia Thompson smiled and said, “With Viola being so talented, I’m sure she did well on the exams.”
After she spoke, she continued, “I heard from the inside that this year’s National Top Scorer might be in River City, maybe it’s Viola!”
Both the perfect scores in Chinese and Mathematics are in River City.
The National Top Scorer must be from River City.
Sylvia Thompson’s words seemed to be meant to prop up Viola Thompson, but were actually meant to kill her with praise.
If Viola Thompson didn’t get the National Top Scorer, how would she ever face people in the future?
Viola Thompson slightly turned her head back, looking at Sylvia Thompson with a smile, “Congratulations, you guessed right.”
Sylvia Thompson was stunned.
She never thought Viola Thompson would suddenly come up with such a move.
How much self-confidence did she have to think she could achieve the National Top Scorer?
She truly had no shame.
Edward Thompson just wanted to slap Viola Thompson awake, but he dared not do so. “Little sister, the results aren’t out yet, you better be modest. The National Top Scorer is not something you can easily get!”
If it were any other matter, they could still beg their parents to use connections and take shortcuts.
But this can’t be done.
The College Entrance Examination relied on real ability.
Now that Viola Thompson was daydreaming in front of her family, it was fine, but if she did this in front of others, it would only bring shame to the family.
But looking at Mandel Thompson and their father, they didn’t seem to take this matter seriously.
Looking at Mrs. Thompson, she also had a smile on her face.
If today the person saying these words was Sylvia Thompson, Mrs. Thompson would have definitely scolded her.
However, when the person became Viola Thompson, Mrs. Thompson just chose to turn a blind eye.
This was so unfair to Sylvia Thompson.
Just as Edward Thompson was about to say something else, he felt a gentle squeeze on his palm, and a gentle voice in his ear, “Big brother, I’m fine.”
Edward Thompson sighed helplessly.
For Sylvia Thompson’s sake, he endured!
On the other side.
Rachel Barton and her parents took a high-speed train for nearly seven hours before they arrived at the station.
This was Rimount County, fifty kilometers away from Olsand Village where Gregory Diet and Beatrice Black lived. They had to take a one-hour bus ride to the town center, and then a half-hour minibus ride to Olsand Village.
After all the hassle, Rachel Barton’s face was a little pale, and she frowned slightly as she looked at the rough mountain road.
She had thought Show Village was already remote enough, but Cokoon City’s Olsand Village was even more remote.
It was like a winding mountain road with eighteen twists.
Throughout the journey, she threw up several times.
Beatrice Black asked with concern, “Sweetie, are you okay? We’ll be home soon.”
“I’m fine,” Rachel Barton shook her head, “Mom, don’t worry about me.”
Beatrice Black smiled and said, “As long as you’re fine, when we get home, I’ll make you something delicious to eat.”
“Okay.”
The driver bumped along, and they finally arrived at Olsand Village before dark.
The couple walked ahead, and Rachel Barton followed behind.
Unlike coastal cities.
Most of the plants in Olsand Village were unfamiliar to Rachel Barton.
The air did not have the salty taste of the sea breeze either.
Visiting an inland city for the first time, Rachel Barton was very curious and looked around everywhere she went.
Some villagers passing by asked curiously, “Is this your daughter, Seven Treasures mother?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Beatrice Black nodded, “Does our daughter look like me?”
