Chapter 921: I scored 200 more points than your brother!
[I told you, she's only cut out for second-tier universities at best.]
[Scatter, scatter, this score last year would barely make it to a second-tier, and this year the cutoff line will definitely rise, might not even reach that!]
[Tsk, seeing her pretend to love reading every day on her livestreams, I thought she'd score more. Turns out it's just over 400 points.]
[That's fine, for a celebrity, scoring 400 is already quite good, everyone should stop the hate.]
[How funny, if she knew it would be like this today, why drop out back then? Start working early and make money for a few more years!]
[Did you actually believe it? The young lady was just going to get some traffic at the exam venue, did you really think she was taking the exam seriously?]
Shortly after the high school exam scores were released, an anonymous netizen posted Jiang Li's results online, causing a huge stir.
In no time, almost half of the trending topics were related to Jiang Li, apart from the high school exams.
It was either about Jiang Li failing her retake, or buzzwords like her "overachieving persona collapsing."
Even her fans were extremely disappointed in her.
Many had become her fans while studying alongside her regularly.
Now that Jiang Li's exam results were unsatisfactory, they felt she was just putting on an act.
They all unfollowed her in disappointment.
In the Jiang Family's study room.
As soon as everyone saw Jiang Li's results, silence fell over them.
Only Jiang Yan patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, over 400, that's 200 more than your brother scored back in the day, amazing!"
Jiang Cheng really wanted to grab a stick from the side and smack this cheap brother of his.
But right now, Jiang Li was more important.
"Sis, this result isn't quite right, is it? Want to check again?"
Jiang Li's skill level was about the same as his, even underperforming she should still score over 600.
Clearly, scoring over 400 doesn't make sense.
Jiang Li frowned, exited and checked again.
But it was still the same.
Lin Manru quickly said, "It's enough, over 400 can still get you into college. Lili did great!"
"Yeah, yeah," Shen Lan echoed from the side, "even Shi Xu might not score that much!"
Jiang Shixu's score also came out, surprisingly similar to Jiang Li's.
But since he was an art student, those scores could get him into the best music academy in the Capital.
But with the current situation, he couldn't boast, just quietly accepted his score and said to everyone, "My results aren't great either."
Jiang Yan looked incredulously at the others.
"This score isn't good? How can that be, over 400 is amazing!"
Jiang Li calmly replied, "Over 400 is 300 less than I estimated."
"What? How much did you estimate?"
"Over 700, that's all."
"Over 700?! That's full marks, right?"
Even though he wasn't a good student then, he knew the total score for the high school exam was only 750.
Jiang Li's fingertips gently tapped the tabletop, frowning deeply, "But according to my estimation, several subjects were indeed full marks."
She took the history exam.
Even if something went wrong, her Chinese shouldn't be just 90, and math and English shouldn't be failing, right?
Lin Manru naturally believed her daughter's words.
But the score in front of them was officially released, it couldn't be fake.
"So what's going on? Was it marked incorrectly?"
"Why not file an appeal?" Jiang Mingyu suggested, "I've seen lots of cases online where papers were marked wrongly, maybe yours is too."
Jiang Li nodded, "Okay, I'll try to appeal."
The result of the appeal would only be known three days later.
But yet again, it was a surprise—
The person handling the papers called to say Jiang Li's score was not wrong!
The atmosphere in the Jiang Family dropped to freezing point again.
Lin Manru had been extremely cautious these past few days, afraid of saying something that would make Jiang Li do something rash.
After all, she had witnessed all her hard work this year.
Even though the score wasn't ideal, there was nothing that couldn't be accepted.
After all, as long as Lili's happy, that's what matters.
"Did you maybe fill in the answer sheet incorrectly at the end?" Jiang Zhao Yuan also comforted her, "I remember someone whose grandson filled in the answer sheet wrong and lost over 100 points."
Jiang Li sat on the sofa, shaking her head gravely, "That's impossible."
She had checked the paper thrice before submitting it, there was no way she filled it wrong.
It's impossible for her to score so low.
There must be something more to this.
Besides, she even did a divination for herself before the results came out.
The outcome should have been in her favor.
But unexpectedly, this was the result.
It just didn't make sense.
Jiang Mingchuan also walked over.
"I called a friend at the examination bureau, he said the papers are reviewed by experts in several rounds, scoring errors are impossible, and appeals generally only correct calculation mistakes."
"Lili, it's okay, 400 is still good, we Jiang family don't compare ourselves to those academic geniuses."
"Yeah, you just don't worry," Meng Wanzhi said as she peeled fruit for her on the side, "In a few days have your Third Uncle take you on a trip to relax, and everything will be fine."
Jiang Li wasn't in a bad mood, just confused.
She seemed to remember something and reached out to Lin Manru.
"Mom, can I have my phone back?"
Lin Manru looked a bit evasive.
She had also seen the recent online news, full of attacks on her daughter.
She was afraid Jiang Li couldn't handle it, so she had taken her phone away.
"What do you need the phone for? If you want to contact someone, I can call for you."
Jiang Li sighed helplessly, "Mom, I know why you took away my phone, it's because of all the online opinions, right? Even if the entire internet is cursing at me, I'm fine. It's not like I haven't been through this before, don't worry, I just want to contact a friend, confirm something."
"Really okay?"
"Really okay." Jiang Li said with a smile.
Seeing that she was indeed behaving normally, Lin Manru returned the phone to her.
As soon as the phone turned on, countless messages popped up.
Jiang Li sighed, feeling a bit exhausted.
Although she didn't care, this was a bit too annoying, wasn't it?
Just Zhao Lang alone had called her hundreds of times, not to mention others.
The internet was even more chaotic.
But they were all mocking her—
[Wasn't she the first to leave the exam room and hand in her paper early? Thought she'd score a lot, but it's just over 400.]
[I laughed, heard Jiang Li was unsatisfied with her score and went to the examination bureau to appeal, only to still get over 400 after the appeal.]
[Haha, really? That's hilarious, this girl just can't accept it, got a slap on the face, huh!]
[Jiang Li hasn't been online for long, probably scared, time she learned a lesson, stop stirring things up!]
