Ch 12: Only Wen Li solved it in the whole class.

As Wen Li had expected, the Wen Family’s affairs became the topic of after-dinner conversation in the upper class circle.

Wen Baixiang married three wives.

Wen Yan, the eldest Miss Wen, is adopted.

The true eldest Miss Wen is someone else.

These three facts alone were enough for those wealthy women to thoroughly investigate Wen Baixiang’s background at their tea party.

Everyone was curious about Wen Li, the suddenly emerged true eldest Miss Wen, having heard of her poor treatment in the Wen Family and her competition with the adopted Wen Yan…

As the matter fermented, besides Wen Yan suffering in her social circle, Wen Xin also had a hard time at school.

Tan Shiyin constantly made fun of the Wen Family’s affairs.

Wen Xin, always proud and arrogant, was furious, wishing to tear Wen Li, the root of all trouble, into pieces.

“Here’s a test paper. Everyone has two class periods to complete it.”

The Class Teacher walked into the classroom with the mathematics test paper.

“Let me explain this test paper. This test paper is exclusive to our No.1 Middle School, and only our Class 1 has it. There’s an additional problem at the end, added by Professor Song Baiyan from Peking University. I’ve looked at the problem; well…”

Song Baiyan?

Wen Li, who was working on a physics test paper in the corner, felt somewhat speechless after hearing the Class Teacher’s words—this problem was aimed at her.

It’s said that favors are the worst things to owe.

She had only been at No.1 Middle School for a few days? So quickly, they came up with a problem, and cunningly put it on the test paper.

They really used every method…

“Although Professor Song has high hopes for our class, to be honest, this problem… I can’t solve it either. Take a look at it to stimulate your thinking. Wen Xin, see if you can solve it.”

The Class Teacher called on Wen Xin.

Obviously, in the Class Teacher’s mind, the only one in the class who might be able to solve this problem was Wen Xin.

Wen Xin, who had been somewhat listless, instantly showed pride on her face, straightening her back and replying, “Okay.”

Confidently, she went straight to the last problem on the test paper.

“If any of you can write something down, I believe you can leave a deep impression on Professor Song.”

Upon hearing this, the students began to look at the last problem.

Song Baiyan was not just an ordinary professor at Peking University; the Song Family’s background was even stronger than the Tan Family and the Wen Family.

The Song Family and the Peking University Principal were also related by marriage, their strengths being evenly matched, and their backgrounds naturally comparable.

A scholarly family and an academic authority, the Song Family were prominent figures in both the political and business circles, and had a very good relationship with the Lu Family.

If one could impress Professor Song and gain access to the Song Family’s connections, it would be an exaggeration to say that one would ascend to heaven.

“Is this a math problem? Are you sure?”

“How is this different from the math I learned?”

“I knew this kind of good thing wouldn’t fall on someone like me.”

“Even if I were to cheat on this problem, I wouldn’t necessarily get it right. This isn’t beyond the scope of the curriculum; this is not even on the same level!”

After reading the problem, Tan Shiyin was completely flustered. Seeing Wen Xin bury her head in writing, Tan Shiyin clenched her pen.

Damn it!

This little bitch is going to steal the spotlight again!

Unbeknownst to Tan Shiyin, Wen Xin’s brows were furrowed just as tightly as hers. After writing the word “solution,” she couldn’t write a second stroke for a long time.

Wen Li calmly finished the physics test paper before taking the mathematics test paper and turning to the last problem.

After going through the steps in her mind, she was about to write down the answer, but she held back and wrote out the process…

She had often given Song Baiyan the cold shoulder in the past. It seemed that he had really run out of options, and didn’t want to use the favor of getting her into No.1 Middle School to come to school and find her with a problem, so he resorted to this tactic.

Wen Xin used one draft paper after another. She completely ignored the other problems and only focused on this one.

The Class Teacher had specifically called on her just now. If she couldn’t come up with anything, her reputation as a math genius would become a laughingstock.

More importantly, she had to make Professor Song remember her.

Not only Professor Song, but also… Wen Xin’s mind flashed with a handsome and cold face, that of the true math genius—Song Zhixian.

Wen Xin, already anxious because she had no clue how to start, was even more flustered by the Class Teacher constantly hovering around her.

After two class periods, the test papers were collected.

“Next class is chemistry. The chemistry teacher wants you to review yourselves. Be quiet.” After conveying this message, the Class Teacher took Wen Xin’s draft paper and left the classroom.

Back in the office, the Class Teacher immediately found Wen Xin’s test paper.

However, Wen Xin had written and crossed out the last problem, leaving nothing useful behind, and nothing meaningful was written on the draft paper.

The Class Teacher had no choice but to take a picture of Wen Xin’s test paper and draft paper and send them to Song Baiyan.

She had to give Song Baiyan a response.

She didn’t even look at the other students’ papers.

Because there was no need. Even Wen Xin, the math genius who skipped a grade, couldn’t solve it, let alone the others.

“Here it is.”

Song Baiyan was practically waiting for the message with his mobile phone.

Upon seeing the results sent by Wen Li’s Class Teacher, Song Baiyan questioned, “Hmm?”

Song Zhixian immediately leaned over: “Grandpa, this isn’t Wen’s handwriting.”

“I know. Did her Class Teacher make a mistake? Or was Wen being lazy again?”

Before the Class Teacher could inform him that it was Wen Xin’s paper, Song Baiyan sent a voice message first: 【Teacher Chen, please send me a picture of Wen’s paper.】

【Professor Song, this is Wen’s paper.】

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, then realized there was more than one person surnamed Wen.

Song Baiyan: 【I mean Wen Li’s paper.】

“Wen Li?” The Class Teacher wondered why Professor Song would know Wen Li, while finding Wen Li’s paper.

Although Wen Li’s grades were good, her mathematics skills certainly couldn’t compare to Wen Xin, the genius. Even Wen Xin couldn’t…

The next second, she saw that Wen Li’s last problem was filled with writing, instantly astonished.

Soon, the Song family received what they wanted to see.

“Hahaha, see? A group of old men, including this great genius, couldn’t solve this problem in a week, but she solved it easily.” Song Baiyan laughed with his phone in hand.

After Song Zhixian analyzed it step by step, he was enlightened: “So that’s how it is.”

The Class Teacher was somewhat incredulous. This problem was unsolvable for both her and Wen Xin, yet Wen Li had solved it.

She couldn’t help but ask Song Baiyan whether Wen Li’s answer was correct or not.

Wen Li omitted many steps, so even with the steps and answer in front of her, the Class Teacher wasn’t sure if it was correct.

Professor Song replied affirmatively: 【Of course it’s correct.】

Wen Xin’s mind was still blank because of the problem, her mood extremely low, angry and depressed.

Not only did she waste such a good opportunity to show off, but Grandpa Song would surely remember that she was in Class 1, and if he knew she hadn’t solved the problem, he would be disappointed in her.

Maybe Zhixian Brother would also find out about this.

But this problem was so difficult, it was understandable that she couldn’t solve it, Grandpa Song and the others should understand, right?

Wen Xin comforted herself this way.

At this moment, the Class Teacher came in with the test papers and told them, “A classmate in our class solved that problem.”
