The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 88

Chapter 88 – An Endless Stream of Visitors!

The atmosphere outside Qi’s house was quite awkward. Shen Qiu looked at Qi Yun and couldn’t decide whether she should charge him for advertising.

“Ahem, it seems our little top scorer has a good business sense!”

The Director of the Education Bureau remained calm and turned to Qi’s mother, saying, “It seems you have raised your child comprehensively!”

Qi’s mother responded with confusion, “???”

She had no idea that Qi Yun had opened a milk tea shop.

She was about to speak when Qi’s father finally intervened and covered her mouth.

Good!

Old Xu silently applauded in his heart.

Looking at the Principal and the Director, both of them wore relieved expressions.

Indeed, Qi’s father, the pillar of the family, was the reliable one.

Qi’s mother and Qi Yun were the troublesome ones!

Qi’s father, observing the approving gazes of the leaders, looked at Qi’s mother with a pained expression.

You probably don’t know how much I have sacrificed for you all!

The Principal and the Director didn’t stay long.

Qi Yun felt they seemed in a hurry as if they couldn’t wait to leave.

For Qi Yun, they left behind the most important thing.

Money!

As the top scorer, he received a reward of 100,000 yuan from the Municipal Education Bureau and 50,000 yuan from Chuncheng No.1 High School.

Qi’s mother couldn’t help but sigh, “I never thought in my whole life that I would see my son’s reward money… Qi Yun, I even thought you might have to rely on us when you were young.”

Qi Yun responded, “No, what kind of image did you have of me in your heart, Mom? Besides, with our family’s conditions, could I really rely on you?”

Qi’s mother confidently said, “I didn’t plan to save money just to let you rely on us! I sincerely wanted you to learn to be independent and progress on your own. Mom’s intentions were good, and now look, I’ve raised you up, right?”

Her expression was that of a great mother who silently worried about her child’s education.

Qi Yun couldn’t help but believe her a bit and looked at Qi’s father ……

Qi’s father remained silent.

Yeah, she really did it for you!

Staying up late playing mahjong when you were young was to lose money for you!

Buying new clothes every month was also to spend money for you!

Our family had always been poor, all for you!

In fact, Qi Yun understood that it wasn’t that Qi’s parents wasted money; it was that his parents, and even himself, had no concept of saving money.

Qi Yun remembered clearly that although his family wasn’t well-off, his pocket money was always the highest among his classmates.

There was no other reason than Qi’s mother being generous.

The small shop near his elementary school treated him as a super VIP customer!

So, Qi’s family and Qi Yun didn’t have much awareness of saving money.

Qi Yun thought their family’s attitude towards life was quite simple.

Money didn’t matter!

Happiness did matter!

A family with a carefree attitude!

……

With a top scorer in the Qi family, today was destined not to be peaceful.

After Old Xu and the others left Qi’s house, Wang Shang and his mother, Aunt Zhou, arrived.

Aunt Zhou seemed to have been crying, with red eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Qi’s mother became anxious.

Aunt Zhou had never cried in front of others before.

“It’s nothing.” Aunt Zhou wiped her eyes in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

“I… I’m just happy! Today, my child’s test scores came out. He scored 642! We asked the teacher, and they said this score is in the top fifteen in the entire school. It’s enough to get into a prestigious university without any issues!”

Qi Yun calculated that Chuncheng was a key school in the city. Being in the top fifteen in the entire school meant he could aim for a prestigious university, maybe even within the top ten in the country.

Compared to Wang Shang’s performance in his previous life, he had made tremendous progress in this life.

“Ah! Top fifteen in the whole school? Little Zhou, you’ve really come a long way!”

Qi’s mother heard this and displayed even more happiness. She clapped her hands while sitting on the sofa and laughed.

“Yes! I came here specifically to thank Qi Yun! If it weren’t for Qi Yun, Wang Shang wouldn’t have performed so well!”

Aunt Zhou looked at Qi Yun, and her eyes were filled with infinite gratitude.

Qi Yun glanced at Wang Shang, who seemed a bit downcast.

Qi Yun’s expression became slightly serious. He looked at Aunt Zhou and said, “Actually… did Wang Shang never tell you why he worked so hard?” Aunt Zhou, with a puzzled look, nodded.

“Actually, I can guess that Wang Shang worked hard for you… not because of me or anyone else, but simply to make you happy…”

Aunt Zhou was surprised. She widened her eyes and looked back at Wang Shang.

Wang Shang lowered his head, not looking at her.

When Aunt Zhou looked at her son again, she realized he had grown up.

He had grown up to the point where he silently made sacrifices for her, and she didn’t even know about it.

Aunt Zhou’s already bloodshot eyes filled with tears again.

“Aunt Zhou, go back and talk well with Wang Shang… Compared to others, you are the most important to him.”

Aunt Zhou covered her mouth, nodding repeatedly, and left with Wang Shang.

Qi’s mother couldn’t help but exclaim, “Children grow up in the blink of an eye.”

Qi’s father looked at Qi Yun, nodded, and said, “To be honest, although they didn’t say it, we also feel that Qi Yun has matured quite a bit. Especially in the past six months, it made us both feel relieved and a bit lost. Seeing our children grow up is both a source of pride and regret.”

……

After Wang Shang left, Lian Qingxue came to Qi’s house. When Mr. Xu and the others left, she donated money directly to the orphanage.

However, her donation couldn’t compare to Qi Yun’s.

The city awarded him 20,000 yuan, and the school rewarded him with 10,000 yuan.

In total, he received 30,000 yuan. After all, the title of top scorer was the most valuable.

Although the Director of the Education Bureau assured Lian Qingxue that if she encountered any difficulties in her studies, the city would do its best to help her, she didn’t really need it.

Nevertheless, she was persuaded.

She had just sat down when the door of the Qi house rang again.

“Is Qi Yun at home? I am a recruiter from Shiumu University!”
