Chapter 78

Although it was nearly midnight, no one in the Jiang family had gone to sleep. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wei were both excited and nervous, so they had no intention of sleeping. As for Jiang Ping, he was exhausted by the enthusiasm of his family and couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

If it were up to Jiang Ping, there would be no need to check the scores in the middle of the night. Everyone should go to sleep and check the scores the next day. After all, the scores were already out, and checking a few hours later wouldn't change anything. However, seeing how much his family cared about his college entrance exam results, Jiang Ping didn't have the heart to say this and could only wait with them.

Finally, when the clock struck midnight, Zhu Yun couldn't wait any longer and urged her son, "Jiang Ping, quickly, make the call!"

"I know..." Jiang Ping replied softly and dialed the number to check his scores.

The line was busy, so he tried again, but it was still busy. Jiang Ping realized that many people were waiting until midnight to check their scores, all wanting to know their results as soon as possible.

Under the urging of his parents, Jiang Ping had to keep trying. After about ten attempts, he finally managed to get through. Following the voice prompts, he entered his examination number and confirmed it was correct. Then, Jiang Ping heard the electronic voice announce his score. He made the electronic voice repeat it twice to ensure he hadn't heard wrong, and then he hung up the phone with a blank expression.

Jiang Ping's demeanor made Mr. and Mrs. Jiang somewhat worried. They exchanged a glance, and then Mr. Jiang asked in a trembling voice, "How did it go?"

"543 points!" Jiang Ping said calmly, "31 points higher than last year's first-tier university admission line!"

"543!" This score was far beyond Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's expectations. Zhu Yun couldn't help but ask her son in a low voice, "Did you hear it right?"

Jiang Ping gave his mother a reassuring smile and promised, "Mom, don't worry, it's definitely correct!"

"Yay, that's great!" Jiang Wei was the first to react, exclaiming, "Bro, with this score, you're sure to get into a first-tier university!"

Jiang Ping remembered that the first-tier university admission line in 2002 was 515 points. If nothing went wrong, he was certain to be admitted to his first choice, which was Nanjing University in the city.

However, Jiang Ping wasn't sure if the events from his previous life would change after his rebirth, so he cautiously said, "If this year's admission line is similar to last year's, getting into Nanjing University shouldn't be a problem."

In fact, after learning that Jiang Ping scored over 540 points, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's anxious hearts were greatly relieved. Hearing their son say that he would definitely get into Nanjing University if nothing went wrong, they were even more delighted.

Zhu Yun grabbed Jiang Ping's hand and praised him, "Good, good, my dear son!"

Mr. Jiang, after a moment of stunned silence, let out a strange cry and picked up the phone to dial.

Jiang Ping quickly stopped his father, "Dad, who are you calling?"

"Of course, your Uncle and the others!" Mr. Jiang said with a smile, "I want to share this good news with everyone and let them know that our Jiang Ping has done well!"

Jiang Ping said helplessly, "Dad, it's almost one o'clock. Is it appropriate to call Uncle at this hour?"

Reminded by his son, Mr. Jiang laughed, "Right, right, I got carried away with my happiness!"

Seeing her parents so happy for her brother, Jiang Wei pouted on purpose, "Dad, Mom, you're biased, you only like my brother and don't care about me!"

However, Jiang Ping noticed that although his sister was complaining, she had a smile on her face, showing that she was also happy for him.

Zhu Yun knew her daughter was being playful, so she hugged her and said with a smile, "You two are both my treasures. How could I only like your brother and not care about you? Last time when we went shopping, didn't you say you liked that dress? I've already bought it for you, it's in the wardrobe, go get it!"

"Hehe, Mom is the best!" Jiang Wei was overjoyed, kissed her mother, and hurriedly went to find her new dress.

Seeing his lively daughter, Mr. Jiang couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, "This child, even at this age, still acts like a little kid!"

Seeing his family's warm and harmonious atmosphere, Jiang Ping felt a warm feeling in his heart. His desire to make up for the regrets of his previous life and to ensure his family lived a peaceful and happy life became even stronger.

After learning Jiang Ping's score, the whole family felt relieved. Concerned about everyone's health, Zhu Yun began to urge everyone to go to bed early to avoid the harm of staying up late.

Jiang Ping slept until dawn, then went out as usual to exercise. Just as he returned home, drenched in sweat, the phone rang. This time, it was really Li Qian calling.

"Have you checked your score?" Li Qian asked with concern, "How much did you get?"

"543." Jiang Ping answered the girl's question first, then asked, "How about you?"

Li Qian also gave a number, "576."

"Ah, that's pretty high!" Jiang Ping said with a smile, "Much higher than last year's key university admission line. Looks like you're definitely going to Fudan University!"

Li Qian whispered, "Thanks to the questions you circled for me, I was able to do so well in math. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten this score."

Jiang Ping laughed, "It's no big deal, don't worry about it. We're close friends, right? You're making it sound like we're strangers. Isn't that a bit too formal?"

In this life, Jiang Ping and Li Qian's relationship had grown closer, so he spoke to her more casually, and without realizing it, his tone had a hint of teasing.

However, Li Qian didn't get angry at Jiang Ping's words; instead, she was secretly pleased and shyly whispered, "Yes, you're right!"

Jiang Ping, who had played the field in his previous life, knew that the girl's reaction was entirely because she had secretly fallen for him. Although he had many women in his past life, none of them were as pure and innocent as Li Qian.

Feeling the girl's pure affection, Jiang Ping's mood greatly improved, and he couldn't help but say softly, "In a couple of days, I'll come to your place to see you and thank Mr. Li. Thanks to his strict requirements, I was able to achieve such good results."

In fact, Jiang Ping's high score had little to do with the school teachers. However, since Li Linxiang was Li Qian's father, Jiang Ping didn't mind showing his gratitude.

Jiang Ping's words made Li Qian even happier, but her shyness prevented her from showing too much joy. After a few more words, she hung up the phone.

After ending the call with Li Qian, Jiang Ping went to the courtyard in Huahua Alley as usual to continue making the large rosewood bracelet. After several days of effort, the bracelet was almost complete. It just needed a final polish and to be strung together before it could be given to Wei Decheng.

Jiang Ping worked in the courtyard until the afternoon, and finally, the large rosewood bracelet was finished. The bracelet had a diameter of 50 millimeters, with beautiful patterns and a high oil content, and even Jiang Ping himself was very fond of it. If it weren't for the urgent need to save money for his sister's medical expenses, he would have kept it for himself.

Since the bracelet was now complete, Jiang Ping didn't want to keep Wei Decheng waiting and immediately called him.
