The old man's grandson was also studying in No. 1 High School and in Class 1. His grandson was an excellent student, so he believed his son's words.

Upon hearing that, everyone was curious about it.

"Is that true?" someone asked.

Leng Xiaoyao stopped being silent and opened her mouth. "It's true that I was terrible at studying and I was the worst student in our class. But that doesn't mean I have to be bad forever. People change, right? As long as I study hard and am willing to learn, I can become different. I have thought about my future if I fail to get into a university. Although a diploma can't do everything, it's very important. So, I've made up my mind to study as hard as I can."

Everyone agreed on that. Although they still felt it was unbelievable, Leng Xiaoyao did it.

"Right, as long as you're willing to learn and study hard, you can become an excellent student. In today's society, a diploma matters the most. Without a diploma, you might not even get a chance for an interview."

"I agree. One of my relatives is an example. He has skills, but doesn't have a diploma. It's a big disadvantage."

"..."

After the Chu family came, the elders went to chat with their friends, while Chu Jianan and Chu Jiayu walked to Leng Yuqi and Jiang Yihan.

The moment Chu Jianan saw Jiang Yihan, he felt aroused, whereas a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes when his gaze fell on Leng Yuqi.

Leng Yuqi stood with Jiang Yihan, but she looked like a kid in that childish dress. She was hardly comparable to Jiang Yihan.

"Hi, Jianan." Leng Yuqi was extremely nervous when she saw Chu Jianan. She remembered what Leng Xiaoyao said and was worried that Chu Jianan might prefer a mature woman to her in this style.

"Hi, Jianan, Jiayu." Jiang Yihan greeted them too with a casual attitude. There was nothing wrong with how she looked at Chu Jianan, but deep down in her eyes, there was affection for Chu Jianan. Only Chu Jianan could understand it.

"Nice to see you all." Chu Jianan answered in a flat tone. He glanced at Jiang Yihan once in a while, but Leng Yuqi didn't notice.

Since Chu Jiayu was also dressed like an elegant lady, Leng Yuqi became more nervous. Why did all the girls dress maturely while she looked like a kid?

"Enjoy yourselves. I need to see my friends," Chu Jianan said, then walked away. Chu Jianan was never close to them, unless they were in a group.

Therefore, it was normal that Chu Jianan left right after exchanging greetings with them, but Leng Yuqi thought a lot about it. Did Chu Jianan have no interest in her since she was dressed like that?

Did he really prefer a mature and sexy woman?

Chu Jiayu didn't think Leng Yuqi's dress was inappropriate, so she said nothing, but she was impressed by Jiang Yihan's style tonight. "Yihan, I can't believe you're so sexy! You don't usually wear this style. Once you dress up, you're really sexy. I've noticed several heirs glancing at you all the time."

Leng Yuqi was unhappy right now and felt even more upset when Chu Jiayu complimented Jiang Yihan. In the past, Chu Jiayu only complimented her, but now she was ignored and Jiang Yihan became the focus.

"Fine clothes make the man. After all, there aren't ugly women, only lazy women. As long as you dress up, you can be pretty!" Jiang Yihan said with a smile. She was very proud of herself because Chu Jiayu complimented her.

"You're right. I can't wait to see what Leng Xiaoyao is like tonight. Did she dress up or is she still ugly?" Chu Jiayu was curious and asked Leng Yuqi. "Yuqi, did you see Leng Xiaoyao? Did she stay the same or dress up?"

Leng Yuqi was reluctant to talk about Leng Xiaoyao, but it would be embarrassing if she said nothing, so she answered. "She dressed up."

"What does she look like? Is she beautiful?" Chu Jiayu asked excitedly. She really wanted to know what Leng Xiaoyao looked like now.

"You'll know when you see her later," Leng Yuqi said.

"Fine!" Chu Jiayu didn't continue, because she agreed it was better to see Leng Xiaoyao with her own eyes.

Chu Jiayu didn't notice Leng Yuqi's emotional change, but she felt Leng Yuqi was jealous of Leng Xiaoyao. In that case, Leng Xiaoyao should be very pretty after dressing up.

If so, she would be in a crisis too. What if Chu Jianan was attracted to Leng Xiaoyao?

At that moment, Leng Xiaoyao's friends were all present, so they chatted at the side. Because Leng Xiaoyao was here, Ling Tianqi, Pei Heran, and Feng Rui didn't leave, but stayed with them.

The party was about to start twenty minutes later, and most guests had arrived. Only very important figures were still absent.

Though Leng Xiaoyao was chatting with her friends, she paid attention to other people once in a while. She wanted to see whether Li Mochen was here even if he was one of the very important guests and wouldn't show up till the last minute.

Chu Jianan wandered around in the hall for a while, then saw Leng Xiaoyao and looked unhappy.

Leng Xiaoyao had become outstanding, so he lost his calm.

Because Leng Yuqi and Jiang Yihan focused on Chu Jianan, they saw his change when he looked in the direction of Leng Xiaoyao. The next moment, they turned to see Leng Xiaoyao.

Leng Xiaoyao was extremely irritated once she made sure that Chu Jianan was looking at Leng Xiaoyao.

Jiang Yihan didn't recognize Leng Xiaoyao right away, but guessed who she was from An Chenmeng and Xiong Manxin around her. Because Leng Yuqi told her that Leng Xiaoyao had dressed up, she couldn't look ugly.
