Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Took the Wrong Medicine?

"Grandma, don’t worry. It’s a good thing that Grandpa woke up. He’s just still very weak, which is why he fell back asleep."

Shen Nian held Tian Yilan’s hand and said comfortingly.

"I know, I know. I’ve taken everything you said to heart, Xiao Nian. You saved your grandpa’s life. When he really wakes up, we must thank you properly!"

"Grandma, he’s my grandpa. If I have the ability to save him, of course I have to! As long as he can get better, none of that matters!"

"Good, good. Your grandpa will be thrilled to death to have such an amazing granddaughter like you!"

"Grandma, you haven’t heard, have you? My sister was the top scorer in our province on the college entrance exam this year!"

Hearing his grandmother praise Shen Nian, Shen Xiangnan sidled up and chimed in. After he spoke, he shot a pointed look at Miao Suiping, who had entered not long ago.

’He hadn’t missed the look of utter disdain on Miao Suiping’s face when Grandma was praising his sister just now.’

’She looks down on my sister, does she? I’d love to see the look on her face when she realizes the gap between them!’

"Really? The provincial top scorer? Xiao Nian is the top scorer!"

Just as he’d expected, upon hearing Shen Xiangnan’s words, Tian Yilan’s gaze on Shen Nian grew even more fervent. This was the top scorer! And this top scorer was her very own granddaughter!

Tian Yilan couldn’t help but look over at Miao Dagui, who was still lying unconscious in the bed.

’Oh, my dear husband, you have to wake up soon! Our granddaughter is the top scorer!’

"That’s right! Even the director of the Bureau of Education made a special trip to the school to congratulate my sister!"

Shen Xiangnan saw Miao Suiping’s face fall the moment she heard the words "provincial top scorer," so naturally, he didn’t mind adding more fuel to the fire.

’Hmph. How dare she bully my sister!’

"Oh, Xiao Nian, you’re so accomplished! When your grandpa wakes up, he’ll be absolutely delighted!"

"Exactly, Xiao Nian, you’re amazing! I can’t believe I, your younger uncle, actually have a top-scorer niece. I’m so proud!"

Watching the grandmother and younger uncle crowd around Shen Nian, showering her with praise, the expressions on Miao Suiping and Guo Chunxiang’s faces grew increasingly sour.

"So what if she’s some stupid provincial top scorer? What’s the big deal!"

Miao Suiping added a cold snort, but inwardly, she felt nowhere near as nonchalant as her words suggested.

’The provincial top scorer! Shen Nian actually became the provincial top scorer! How could she be so lucky? Why does every good thing have to happen to Shen Nian?!’

"You’re right, it’s not a big deal! It’s just... I seem to have heard that some people’s college entrance exam scores were, shall we say, less than ideal!"

Shen Xiangnan already disliked his cousin Miao Suiping, and on top of that, she had even tried to make a move on his future brother-in-law during this visit. Given the chance to roast her, it would be a miracle if he didn’t go all out!

Miao Suiping and Shen Nian were only a few months apart in age and had both taken the college entrance exam this year. However, Miao Suiping’s grades were mediocre. She did poorly on the exam and, at best, could barely get into a vocational college—and a private one she’d have to pay for at that.

Originally, compared to those who couldn’t get into college at all, Miao Suiping had felt she’d done pretty well for herself.

But compared to Shen Nian, the provincial top scorer, her own results were an absolute humiliation!

"Shen Xiangnan, who are you talking about!"

"Whoever answers, that’s who I’m talking about! Nyaah nyaah nyaah..."

After speaking, Shen Xiangnan even made a face at Miao Suiping. He was a safe distance away, and with so many people around him, he didn’t believe for a second that she would dare to hit him.

Watching Shen Xiangnan bicker with Miao Suiping, Shen Nian was a bit puzzled. It was true that none of the three siblings liked Miao Suiping, but she’d never seen Shen Xiangnan go after her so aggressively before.

’What’s gotten into him today?’

"Did Xiang Nan take the wrong medicine or something?"
