Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 59: The Ignorant Are Indeed Fearless

“Since it was a simple exam, I guess getting a perfect score is nothing to show off about,” Old Madame Xu said disdainfully.

Yuan Keqing then pretended to be a good person by “comforting” Tan Mo, saying, “Cousin, don’t get me wrong. Grandma means that although you said that you had full marks on the exam, if you come across someone who knows that Jixia Academy’s test papers are easy, they will know your grades are inflated and will secretly make fun of you. That won’t be good.”

Tan Jinyi snickered. He didn’t know whether Jixia Academy’s first grade exam papers were difficult, but he was sure that the third grade exam papers must be really difficult.

Moreover, no matter how simple it was, there was a huge difference between the third grade exam paper and Yuan Keqing’s first grade exam paper.

Tan Mo smiled indifferently. Honestly, she couldn’t have cared less what Old Madame Xu and Yuan Keqing thought or said.

As a master of the techniques to be used against passive-aggressive people, if she had really wanted to, of course she would have been able to take down Old Madame Xu.

However, she just doesn’t have any desire to.

Yuan Keqing was willing to kiss up to Old Madame Xu. Old Madame Xu had preferred Xu Mingjing to Xu Mingzhen ever since they had been children, so she also preferred Yuan Keqing as a result.

Tan Mo might be as strong as she is because Xu Mingzhen’s personality has always been strong-willed. She is persistent and never compromises on what she insists on. She never listened to Old Madame Xu about anything.

It is precisely because of this that, although Old Madame Xu is being taken care of by the Tan family, Old Madame Xu has never been kind to the Tan family. Instead, she is much more solicitous about Xu Mingjing’s family.

Old Madame Xu was not nice toward Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, and she always glared at Tan Mo’s three older brothers.

So of course Tan Mo had no wish to please someone like this, and she didn’t even bother to use the skills she had honed against passive-aggressive people on Old Madame Xu.

Because even if she used these skills on Old Madame Xu, the only thing that would happen was that the old lady would treat her differently from the way in which she treated her parents and brothers.

Old Madam Xu was this kind of person.

Tan Mo didn’t want someone like this to like her.

As for Yuan Keqing, Tan Mo was well prepared. She took out a test paper from her backpack. “This is the first grade test paper of our school that was used this time. Cousin, how about you take it to see if it’s really that simple?”

She knew passive-aggressive routines very well, so she was up on Yuan Keqing’s little tricks.

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

So this is why Tan Mo had wanted to carry her backpack instead of her favorite crossbody bag.

It was probably because her small bag couldn’t fit all the papers she had wanted to carry.

Tan Mo had borrowed these papers from Ming Yeqing. She’d personally cut the paper, scribbled out the answers, and copied them out one by one.

“Keqing, how about you try it?” Tan Mo pushed all the papers toward Yuan Keqing. “In our school, we have to learn government and politics, history, geography, chemistry, physics, and biology from the first grade. Therefore, in addition to Chinese, mathematics, and English, the first year exam also includes a comprehensive social science exam paper and a comprehensive natural science exam paper.”

The Tan family had already been awed when they had seen the exam papers brought home by Tan Mo. No wonder Jixia Academy’s exam pass rate was so high.

From the beginning of school, the difficulty of the basic curriculum was much higher than that of other schools.

Every year, the graduates of Jixia Academy were admitted to prestigious schools.

Moreover, they were all admitted on their academic strength alone, without having to use money or power.

The rigor was profound from the beginning.

Yuan Keqing dared to say that Jixia Academy’s papers were simple…?

The ignorant are fearless indeed!

“Social…science? Natural science? What are those?” Yuan Keqing stared at the papers. She had never even heard of these subjects.

They didn’t learn these things in the upper grades of elementary school at her school.

Had Tan Mo brought the middle and high school exam papers as a bluff?

However, looking at the paper, she saw the bold black characters clearly: Jixia Academy Primary School First Grade First Semester Final Exam Questions.

“Cousin, do it now,” Tan Mo challenged her.

“Um…I didn’t bring a pen or anything…” Yuan Keqing was so unconfident that even her voice had gotten weaker.

However, she usually spoke softly, so her lack of confidence was not very obvious at this time.

But Tan Mo could tell.

“I’ve brought some.” Tan Mo took the stationery box out of her backpack. “I have lots of them.”

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

Tan Wenci: “…”

Why didn’t they realize before that their baby girl was so…sly and clever?

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Tan Mo clapped her hands, as if remembering something, and took back the exam papers, saying, “Other schools in elementary grades haven’t learned these yet.”

Yuan Keqing: “…”

How come she feels so humiliated?

“These Chinese, math, and English test papers are all at the first grade level in our elementary school.” Tan Mo urged her, “Keqing, you can try it and see how many points you can get.”

Yuan Keqing flushed. Looking at the paper, she only felt a headache.

She had only read five multiple-choice questions, and there were already two questions that she couldn’t do.

Yuan Keqing put down the paper, turned around, and threw herself into the arms of Old Madame Xu. Crying, she said, “Grandma, I was wrong. It turns out that my cousin’s test paper is so difficult. I don’t know how to do it.”

Old Madame Xu wasn’t someone who would be willing to admit that she was wrong. The fault could only be with Tan Mo.

But before Old Madame Xu had time to counterattack, she heard Tan Mo say, “This test paper is very simple for me, and I won’t deliberately answer questions wrong to make Keqing look good. But it doesn’t matter, because our test scores can’t be compared.”

Yuan Keqing was wondering about the meaning of Tan Mo’s words when she heard Tan Mo say, “Because I took the third grade exam this time.

“And I got perfect scores.”

Tan Jinqi chimed in seamlessly, “Mo Mo will go to the third grade to study at the beginning of next semester.”

“So cousin, don’t bother comparing yourself with Mo Mo, no matter what score you get on the test,” he said without mercy.

“The two of you aren’t on the same level at all, so how can you compare yourselves?” Tan Jinyi quickly said.

Yuan Keqing stared at Tan Mo blankly.

What are they talking about?

Why is Tan Mo suddenly going to the third grade?

She’s only been in the first grade for less than half a year.

Yuan Keqing felt that she could understand every word of what they said. But after the words were connected, she couldn’t understand their meaning.

Could Tan Mo be a genius?

After less than half a year of school, she could skip a grade directly?

Yuan Keqing couldn’t believe this.

Even Old Madame Xu was dumbfounded.

What were the Tan family’s brothers saying?

Tan Mo, the little fool who has been spoiled by the family, was going to skip a grade?

She just couldn’t stand how the Tan family pampered Tan Mo and how they actually put Tan Mo in a position higher than their three sons.

Of course, she didn’t like the three boys in the Tan family either.

Tan Mo took out her test paper from her backpack and unfolded it on the table.

“This is my test paper for this exam.” Tan Mo flattened the test paper.
