The Provincial Top Scholar

Gu Shan knew better than to attempt to assert himself as the head of the household in recent years, and rather than engage in an argument with Zhang Mei, he took a step back and swiftly changed the subject.

"Forget it, don't bother," he said with a sigh. "Miao Miao, let your mom accompany you to check your score. Once that's done, we'll head over to the department store, pick up some new clothes for you, and I'll arrange a proper celebration for your academic achievements."

Zhang Mei, hearing this, immediately seized the opportunity to give orders. "And while you're at it, go ahead and notify the neighbors, family, and friends. Get everyone to come to Miao Miao's graduation party. This time, it's not going to be one of those backyard, casual get-togethers—make sure you book a decent restaurant and really show off Miao Miao's success."
