The recording finished, He Zhizhi was completely panicked.

"He Zhizhi! I worked hard to put you through four years of high school, and in the end, you actually stole someone else's college entrance exam scores! I was blind to support you back then, how could I have sponsored such an ingrate like you? It's really bad luck!"

He Zhizhi wanted to cry but had no tears, she kept apologizing to her mother.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this, I really wanted to go to college. Auntie had such high expectations of me, I didn't want to hurt Auntie's heart."

"I'm really sorry, please give me another chance! I promise to study hard, and when I grow up, I will earn money to support Auntie."

"Auntie, you know, I come from a poor little village, going to school is my only way out. If I don't go to school, my parents will force me to marry. Please, based on the four years we spent together, spare me, Auntie!"

Is this He Zhizhi's best emotional manipulation?

In the end, He Zhizhi knelt down directly, continuously kowtowing to my mother, begging for her forgiveness.

I stood aside and suddenly said, "You shouldn't be seeking my mother's forgiveness, you should go find Ayen."

In the end, He Zhizhi was forced to drop out, and Ayen got the chance to retake the college entrance exam.

The whole school knew that He Zhizhi had cheated her way into the school, and the private jet at home was all a facade.

To thank me, Ayen specially invited me out for a meal.

At the dinner table, she handed me a photo of a child.

"Here, this is He Zhizhi's daughter in the countryside, she's four years old this year."

I incredulously picked up the photo, "What did you say? She actually has a child?"

The little girl in the photo was dressed shabbily, sitting in front of the house with vacant eyes, as if she had been waiting for her mother to come home.

"Yes, when she was eighteen, her parents arranged for her to marry the village's cattle seller. Just because she didn't reach the legal age, she never got a marriage certificate. After giving birth to the child, He Zhizhi ran away, saying she was going to work outside, but in reality..."

She didn't continue.

An idea suddenly sprouted in my mind.

After dropping out, He Zhizhi went to work at her mother's company.

It turned out that although she didn't do well in school, she was exceptionally hardworking at work.
