As it turns out, not just anyone can become a top student.
Even with Xu Jiayan personally tutoring him, Young Master Xu merely scraped by with average marks, without even making it to the top ten of his class, let alone the top ten of the grade.
However, the old man either forgot or saw that he had been relatively serious lately, and afterwards, he didn't bring up finding a parent again.
So Young Master Xu dodged a bullet.
Just as he was secretly relieved and couldn't help feeling smug, Jiang Yuan asked nonchalantly, "Have you never considered that there may have never been a thing such as making it to the top ten in your grade?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Jinyan stalled for a moment.
Jiang Yuan blinked her sparkling, bright eyes and said, "Do you think the old man believes you can make it into the top ten of the grade? I bet that even if you dare to claim it, he wouldn't believe it."
Anyways, she didn't believe it.
Xu Jinyan: "Are you saying that my brother tricked me?"
