Novel Full Chapter 72 - Nie Li
Chapter 72: Nie Li
Ding Yi was not the only one who was at a loss for words, Mo Li could not help but frown as well. How did things end up like this?
When she studied with the professor, they also studied the potential of the candidates from the other schools. Based on her own calculation, she should be ranked third. She ‘un’ corrected the steps for 3 multiple-choice questions and an open-ended question. She got the mark she predicted but the other candidates scored worse than she thought. Their result during the actual exam was worse than their mock exam.
Ding Yi turned to Mo Li. Even though Mo Li didn’t show any expression, he managed to read mockery on her face. Why! How could this be? The exam wasn’t hard, so why is my score so low? I was sure I got all the equations correct but they were wrong?!
Underneath the table, Qiao Qing clenched her fists too. Even though she also entered the finals, she didn’t feel happy at all. She could not believe that fact that Mo Li had scored better than she did, and not only a little bit better but so much better.
Mo Li was facing trouble of her own. This is such a gross miscalculation! If I have taken only the 3rd place, people won’t pay me so much attention! But now… The thought of the Professor’s intensive training gave her headache. She would have even less time to do her own thing. She had no one but herself to blame for overestimating the preparation of the other candidates.
Granted, the questions were difficult and they needed a lot of thinking but the questions were from chapters that they had studied before. For the open-ended questions, only 2 were outside their syllables.
She purposely changed a few answers to be wrong and miscalculated some steps. Gauging every candidate’s standard, Mo Li believed she would get 3rd place. She did not expect… the situation to turn out like this!
These students were too nervous during the exam and all of them performed worse than usual. It was why the exam committee had to lower the passing grade.
Strange gazes turned towards Mo Li. The others started to wonder if the Mo Family had bought the answer slip to the exam for Mo Li.
…
Ding Yi was eliminated in the preliminary, even after a whole morning, he was unable to get over that fact. He was in a state of panic, afraid that Mo Li would come over to mock him.
However, the people who really came to jump on him when he was down were the people whom he considered his brothers. They surrounded him with wicked smiles, “Well, well, well. Isn’t this the math genius of our class?!”
“Ding Yi, I hope you haven’t forgotten the bet you made with Mo Li!”
“Don’t rub the salt in his wound. He is only the son of a small factory owner. After he hands over the factory, what else would he have left?” These people were victims of Ding Yi’s usual smugness. However, Ding Yi did have a good result, and these people had to rely on Ding Yi for intensive tuition before exams!
However, that did not mean that they were friends. They were only using each other. Now that Ding Yi had made such a fool of himself, they naturally would not waste this opportunity to knock him when he was down. The group of boys gathered together and mocked Ding Yi openly.
Ding Yi’s face reddened under their gaze but he didn’t say a word.
“Ding Yi, we’ll make sure you won’t back off from your bet!”
“Don’t be a sissy and be a man of your words. Plus didn’t you say that you’ll definitely score the first place before the results were out?”
“Well, look who’s the fool this time?”
…
On her part, Mo Li didn’t urge Ding Yi. After all, in her eyes, he was just a child.
She would let him calm down before she cashed in on her bet. Ding Yi was in no state to negotiate with her at the moment. But whether the boy was sad or frustrated, that was not her problem.
Mo Li attended the classes like usual. But strangely enough, after the school ended, and as she walked towards the gate, everyone was looking at her. It made her skin crawl with goosebumps.
At the gate, other than her driver, she saw someone unexpected.
“Hello, Miss Mo Li, I’m your brother, Mo Zheng’s agent, Nie Li.” The woman was tall and sexy. In the original, she participated in the National Rising Star Competition and won the Best Fashion Model award and debuted as a professional model.
After being a model for 2 years, she was asked to join a movie cast. The movie won her the best New Actor Award. However… Mo Li honestly did not know much about this woman.
In the original, Nie Li’s story was in the epilogue and Mo Li was killed before she reached the epilogue. However, Mo Li did remember that the woman currently worked as an agent for a Korean Entertainment Company. Her wish was to build her own entertainment empire.
Mo Zheng had reflected more than once that Nie Li was a woman of big ambition. She was the combination of both fiery passion and calculative rationality.
Based on the plot of the original, Mo Li knew Nie Li was also the sole daughter of the biggest financial mogul at Kanto, Nie Rong.
Why would this woman who had received rigorous training since she was young came to find Mo Li? Did she also believe that Mo Zheng’s car accident had to do with Mo Li so she came to take revenge?
