Chapter 175: She Doesn’t Know

Translator: Lonelytree

Sensing the tension in the air, the elders at the other table stood up and walked towards Mo Li and Wei Lan. Wei Lan accepted the piece of paper from Old Madam He, instantly she was stumped by what she saw.

She recognized some of the pictures on the paper but the formula was beyond her comprehension. She had not studied them before, they were beyond her standard!

However, Wei Lan refused to give up and be shamed in public. With a grit of her teeth, she picked up the pen and started to solve. The complicated symbols and numbers crawled before everyone’s eyes, it looked impressive to the outsiders.

However, when Elder Xu and Elder Lin saw the writing on her draft paper, they frowned. This girl got it all wrong from the start. Even though she knows a bit of math, this question involves formulations from physics. The girl won’t arrive at the correct solution since she doesn’t even understand the question…

After 6 minutes, Wei Lan was still unable to solve the question and her expression darkened. Old Madam Wei and Mother Wei added on the pressure by pushing her. “Lan Lan, hurry up! Why aren’t you done yet?”

Wei Lan was about to go crazy. She didn’t even understand the meaning of the question, how was she supposed to solve the problem?

Seeing Wei Lan sitting there in a daze, Mother Wei was furious. She nudged her daughter and said anxiously, “What is wrong with you today? Hurry up and figure out the answer!”

Wei Lan’s face turned redder and redder. Eventually she stammered, “I… I don’t know how to solve this!”

“What did you say? You don’t know how to solve this?” Mother Wei was desperate. “That’s impossible! You are supposed to know everything! How can you not know this?!”

Wei Lan might be a genius, but she was ultimately just a child. Furthermore, she was normally so pampered. To have her mother scold her in front of so many people, she turned to anger, “I already told you I don’t know how to solve this!”

“How could you take that tone with me… You…” Mother Wei almost choked on her words.

“Why are you pushing the child so hard? It’s okay if she can’t solve this, after all, she is just a child. There is still time for her to learn.” Elder Wei had no idea why the women of his family place such heavy pressure on his granddaughter. Today, they went to such lengths to show off and now they had ruined the Wei Family’s face with it. What was the point?

Mother Wei also didn’t expect she would be so humiliated before the public, especially in front of Jiang Yao whom she looked down upon.

Mother Wei instantly whipped her head to glare at Mo Li. “Li Li, I know you want to try your hand at this question but since our Lan Lan can’t solve it, it’s obvious that you won’t be able to solve it too.” Mother Wei’s meaning was clear. If she had to fall, then she would drag the Mo Family down with her.

Jiang Yao replied, “What do you mean by that? Li Li hasn’t even looked at the question. How would you know she can’t solve it?”

Mother Wei scoffed, “Let’s not kid ourselves. We all know the standard of that child. Since our Lan Lan doesn’t know how to solve the question, how can she? There is no need to force your daughter just for the sake of face.”

“You…” Jiang Yao didn’t mind others mocking her but she would not allow her Sweetie to be mocked like that. She was shaking with fury, which was exceptionally rare for Jiang Yao. At that moment, Jiang Yao felt a touch on the back of her palm. She turned and saw it was Mo Li.

Mo Li smiled at her. Honestly, Mo Li didn’t want to get involved in this show but they had gone too far to bully her mother and the Mo Family. If she didn’t do something, they would trample all over the Mo Family.

“Mom, it’s alright. Let me try.” Mo Li told Jiang Yao.

Everyone turned to look at Mo Li. Most of them were waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
