Zhuo Bufan ignored everyone's stares and Zhuo Luo's words. She turned to look at Zhuo Shanshan and said gently, "Shan Shan, tell me, do you like Yang Jian? If you tell me the truth, Brother Xiao Fan will help you. "
Zhuo Shanshan pinched her fingers, her head almost touching her chest. Her pearly white teeth bit down hard on her moist lower lip, leaving a mark. In the end, she shook her head. "I don't like Yang Jian."
"You heard it. Shan Shan doesn't like Yang Jian at all." Zhuo Bufan stood up and said loudly, "You're willing to sacrifice your own family just for the sake of the family?"
Everyone fell silent when they heard Zhuo Bufan's righteous words. Zhuo Shuai suddenly laughed coldly, "What family? Shan Shan is just an adopted child of my aunt. She has no blood ties to the Zhuo family!"
Zhuo Shanshan bit her lip hard when she heard his words. Tears welled up in her eyes and she ran out of the hall in tears.
Zhuo Shuai was feeling proud of himself when he suddenly saw Zhuo Bufan walking towards him. "Hey, what are you doing? Grandpa is here … "
Before he could finish, Zhuo Bufan slapped Zhuo Shuai's face hard. Zhuo Shuai lost his balance and fell to the ground. He held his swollen face, tears and snot flowing out of his eyes. He stared into Zhuo Bufan's cold eyes and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Yu Huang and Zhuo Wei stood up at the same time and stared at Zhuo Bufan.
"Grandpa and Grandpa are here. Zhuo Bufan, you've gone too far!"
"Zhuo Bufan, how dare you hit Little Shuai. If you don't teach him a lesson, he's going to turn the world upside down. Please punish him." Yu Huang stared at Zhuo Bufan with hatred.
Zhuo Shi Xian heard that Zhuo Bufan kicked Zhuo Shuai and Yu Huang into the swimming pool yesterday. He did not believe it at first but now that he saw Zhuo Bufan's impudence, he was furious. "Zhuo Bufan, do you still have any respect for the Zhuo family?"
"Zhuo family? You mean you're sacrificing Shan Shan's happiness in exchange for your benefits? If that's the case, I don't mind smashing the Zhuo family into pieces! "Zhuo Bufan stood proudly and her voice boomed in everyone's ears like thunder.
Zhuo Shi Xian and the other two grandpa's faces darkened and their eyes were filled with anger.
"Punish him!" Zhuo Shi Xian said angrily.
At that moment, Zhuo Luo, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up. He glanced at Zhuo Wei and the others before looking at Zhuo Shi Xian. "Dad, if you want to punish me, use it on me. It's your fault for not teaching your son properly."
"You …" Zhuo Shi Xian's eyes widened. He did not expect Zhuo Luo to stand up for Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan looked at Zhuo Luo. Do you think I'll be grateful to you for playing this kind of game?
At this moment, a servant from the Zhuo family suddenly ran in from outside. Panting, he said, "Master, Secretary Qiu is here."
Hearing his words, everyone forgot about Zhuo Bufan hitting Zhuo Shuai. Secretary Qiu was a close aide to the mayor of Qingzhou and a very popular person. With the power of the Zhuo family, how could a secretary of such status come to visit them?
"Is he here for Zhuo Fang because of the college entrance exam results?" Molly stood up excitedly and looked at her son proudly.
Zhuo Rong was also very proud. As long as his son entered the government career, his status in the Zhuo family would rise as well.
Zhuo Fang seemed to have expected this. He stood up and walked out with his parents with a faint smile on his face. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was standing at the door. He said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuo, congratulations. Young Master Zhuo has become the top scorer in Zhe Province. Even the mayor and the deputy governor of the education department have been alerted. However, they are both busy with work, so I have to come first to announce the good news."
Zhuo Rong and Molly were shocked. It was true that their son's results were good and he was ranked in the top five in Qingzhou, but he was able to become the top scorer in Zhejiang Province's college entrance examination. Even the mayor would have to take care of the Zhuo family.
Zhuo Fang was stunned. He did not expect to become the top scorer in Zhe Province. Did he perform better than he did in the mock exam?
The other family members looked envious and shocked. Even Zhuo Shi Xian and his two granduncles could not sit still. A provincial top scorer would have limitless achievements if he entered the government career in the future. This top scorer alone could probably help the Zhuo family rise from a third-tier family to a fourth-tier family.
Zhou Biyu looked at the family members around Zhuo Fang, and then looked at Zhuo Bufan who was standing to the side. She could not help but sigh in her heart. Which parent did not want their children to be successful?
Secretary Qiu said and then asked, "May I know who is Young Master Zhuo Bufan?"
In an instant, the smiles on Zhuo Rong, Molly, and Zhuo Fang's faces became extremely stiff. The people around them also looked suspicious.
"Secretary Qiu, why are you looking for Zhuo Bufan? He is my son," Zhuo Luo said.
Secretary Qiu smiled and said, "Of course it's to congratulate Young Master Zhuo for becoming the top scorer in Zhe Province."
The whole place was silent. Zhuo Rong, Molly, Zhuo Fang, Yu Huang, Zhuo Shuai, and the rest of the people at the table looked worse than if they had eaten sh * t. Zhuo Shi Xian and his two granduncles were also shocked. It was not Zhuo Fang who had become the top scorer, but Zhuo Bufan!
Zhuo Luo, Zhou Biyu, Zhuo Mei, Zhuo Shanshan, and Ye Ziqin were all pleasantly surprised.
"I'm here." Zhuo Bufan stood proudly in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back. He was calm as if he was a Buddhist.
Secretary Qiu hurried forward and said with a flattering smile, "Congratulations, Young Master Zhuo. I'm here on behalf of the mayor. This is the fountain pen that the mayor always carries with him. He asked me to give it to you." He then took out a golden fountain pen and handed it to Zhuo Bufan.
The fountain pen was custom-made by the senior members of the municipal government. It was engraved with exquisite patterns. When Zhuo Shanshan knew that Zhuo Bufan had become the top scorer, she stopped crying and pulled Zhuo Bufan's arm with a smile. "Brother Xiao Fan, this fountain pen is so beautiful."
"If you like it, I'll give it to you. Brother Xiao Fan didn't have a gift for you this time." Zhuo Bufan said and handed the fountain pen to her. Seeing Zhuo Shanshan's hesitant expression, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? You don't even dare to accept something that belongs to Brother Xiao Fan? "
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Fan." Zhuo Shanshan was as excited as a child.
When everyone saw that Zhuo Bufan directly gave the fountain pen that the mayor had given to Zhuo Shanshan, many of the younger generation showed envy in their eyes.
Secretary Qiu didn't say anything. It was Zhuo Bufan's gift to Zhuo Bufan. He said a few words of congratulations before leaving.
Zhou Biyu's eyes were filled with tears. She wiped them away and said, "Xiao Fan, did you really become the top scorer?"
"Mom, I said that I wouldn't let you down again." Zhuo Bufan wiped the tears off her cheeks and showed a sunny smile.
Zhuo Luo looked at Zhuo Bufan and nodded. There was a gratified expression on his face. Other than the aunt who was close to Zhuo Bufan's family, the others didn't look very good, especially Zhuo Shuai, who felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. His face alternated between green and red.
Zhuo Fang stood dejectedly at the side. The arrogance on his face had long since disappeared completely.
