Chapter 7 — Two People Get 748 Points

“Later, we will contact you directly about the procedures for special training programs and scholarships.” Applause rang out in the hall. First is you. Next is the homeroom teacher. Next were the relatives who had just gathered around to congratulate Tham Nhuoc Duong. The applause grew louder and louder. Tham Nhuoc Duong stood next to the red electronic screen, her face as white as paper. On that screen, only her name lit up. But tonight, the one everyone remembers is me. 08 The hotel manager is the fastest to respond. He wiped his sweat and asked Tham Duc Thang: "Mr. Tham, do you need to fix the electronic screen in front of the door right away?" “We can add your name Tham Thanh Hoa.” Tham Duc Thang's expression looked like he had just swallowed a thorn. He looked at Luu My Quyen, then looked at the admissions teacher, and could only grit his teeth and nod. "Fix." “Fix it now.” Luu My Quyen immediately grabbed his arm. “Mr. Tham.” “So what should Nhuoc Duong do?” Tham Duc Thang lowered his voice. “What else do you want?” “Tsinghua University teachers and the principal are both here.” “Do you want everyone to see our Tham family's jokes?” Tears fell from Luu My Quyen's eyes. “But today is clearly Nhuoc Duong's university entrance celebration party.” I heard it, but I didn't stop walking. The homeroom teacher accompanied me into the party room. “Thanh Hoa, I know you feel sorry for yourself.” “But tonight you don't need to be patient.” I raised my head to look at her. “Teacher, I have held back long enough.” Her eyes became even redder. “You're not good.” “I only know that your performance is stable, but I don't know that your situation at home is like that.” I shook my head. “This is not your fault.” “Some people are biased, outsiders cannot control them.” The banquet room was filled with relatives. The crowd, which was already cheerful and cheerful, now stretched their necks to look out. When we entered, all sounds stopped. The Tsinghua University admission teacher and the principal were also invited to sit at the main table. Tham Duc Thang tried to say hello. "Everyone, everyone, today is double joy." “Our two daughters both scored 748 points.” “Nhuoc Duong is at the top of the city's social sector.” “Thanh Hoa ranks first in the entire province in terms of natural resources.” When he said the last few words, his voice clearly dropped. But the room still exploded. “Top in the whole province?” "Didn't you say just now that Thanh Hoa hasn't checked the scores yet?" “Who said he can only get into a normal university?” “748 points, only two points less than a perfect score.” Those words were like small stones, making Liu My Quyen's face more and more unsightly. Tham Nhuoc Duong sat next to the main chair, her fingers tightening on the tablecloth. The main chair that was prepared for her now became extremely awkward. She raised her glass of wine and stood up to look at me. “Thanh Hoa, I respect you.” "All these years you've been silent and didn't speak up, but it turns out you're still as talented as ever." “Top in the whole province, truly honors the Tham family.” Before I said anything, Luu My Quyen suddenly spoke coldly. “It's been like that since childhood.” "I keep everything hidden in my heart and don't say anything." “If we hadn't caused this today, we would still be hidden by it.” The atmosphere in the banquet room immediately stiffened. She frowned. “Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?” “She is at the top, is it wrong that she did well in the exam?” Luu My Quyen gritted her teeth. “It's wrong that you didn't say he did well in the exam.” “You said it was too profound.” "The score was known in the morning, but we must wait until enough relatives have arrived before telling us." “Isn't it intentionally making Nhuoc Duong uncomfortable?” I put down the glass of water. “In the morning when I was standing in the kitchen, what did you say in the living room? Do you remember?” Luu My Quyen stiffened. I looked at her, speaking sentence by sentence. “Mom said that's all I have.” “It's great to be able to pass a normal university.” "Mom also said that today is your happy day, don't mention losing your mood." The entire banquet room immediately fell silent. Auntie Hai sighed. “Sister-in-law, these words really hurt people.” Luu My Quyen's face turned red. “You didn't know at that time, right?” I softly asked: "If you don't know the score, can you just trample on me?" "If

I really just passed an ordinary university, will you never ask me if I'm sad or not? She couldn't say anything. Tham Nhuoc Duong suddenly stood up, looking at me with red eyes. “Sister, I apologize on behalf of my mother.” “The family is so busy today, everyone forgets me.” “But can you stop pursuing it forever?” “Guests and teachers are all here.” Saying this, tears rolled down her eyes. “You've been seen by everyone.” “Still not enough?” I raised my eyes to look at her. “I was seen because I stood up for myself.” “Not everyone gives it.” Tham Nhuoc Duong's face became even whiter. She asked in a low voice: "So what do you want?" “Do you want me to give you my position?” I laughed. “You see.” “Up until now, I still think that everything must be given to someone by someone.” “But the score is not yours to give.” “The scholarship is not yours to give.”
