Eyes Staring Like Copper Bells

Even though Bai Ning had changed her wording, the two of them still understood the effect of the pill. Jiang Meilin even tried to hold back her laughter.

Seeing his wife's reaction, Bai Shijie's old face instantly flushed red. The small porcelain bottle in his hand tilted and almost fell to the ground.

He felt that his pride had been seriously insulted, but he couldn't do anything about it and simply endured it.

"Pfft, hahaha..." Jiang Meilin couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw her husband's depressed expression.

Her daughter was so interesting. The first gift she gave her father was a pill that could nourish the kidney!

After being depressed for a long time, Bai Shijie sighed as if he had resigned himself to his fate. He got up and took out an exquisite hollowed-out rosewood box, placing the small porcelain bottle inside.

No matter what, this was the first gift he had ever received from his own daughter. He had to keep it well.

Bai Ning didn't pay attention to her parents' actions. She lowered her head and thought about how to treat her mother's headache as she went upstairs.

Seeing that her daughter had already gone up the stairs, Jiang Meilin quickly stopped her and said, "Ningning, I have something important to tell you."

Bai Ning turned around, went back down the stairs, and stood beside her, waiting for her to continue.

"Actually, it's about transferring schools," Jiang Meilin said. "School is starting soon, so we need to hurry up and choose a good school." As she spoke, she took out a few photo albums from the drawer and handed them to Bai Ning.

"Your father and I have chosen a few schools. Here is the information. Take a look and choose one."

"This is Fourth Middle School. The teachers are average, but fortunately, it's close to home. You can choose to attend day school here. It's always more comfortable to live at home as well."

"This is Eighth Middle School. The number of students is not high, but the proportion of art students who get into first-tier high schools is higher than in all the other key high schools."

"The third is Xiwen Private School. Although the tuition is higher than that of public schools, our family can still afford it. Your father and I are more inclined to have you transfer to this school."

Jiang Meilin opened the album one by one and handed it to Bai Ning, then continued, "These schools all have entrance exams, but our family pulled some strings, so you can transfer directly in without having to take the exam."

Bai Ning, who had been silent, looked at the picture of Xiwen Private School. She was not interested in the school, but she was thinking about something.

Xiwen Private School was a well-known aristocratic school in S city. Although it was second only to the First Middle School, their teaching staff was made up of elites from all over the country. The school's facilities were also the best in all of S city.

There were only two types of students in such a school: the top students who were poached from other places and the rich second generation.

Even if one did not do well in their studies, as long as they were willing to donate money to the school, they could still get in.

"Did you guys donate money to Xiwen?" Bai Ning asked straightforwardly.

"No," Jiang Meilin replied.

"Yes," Bai Shijie replied.

The two's answers were different. For a moment, Bai Ning's expression was a little serious. Jiang Meilin glared at her husband and secretly kicked him, signaling him to quickly explain things to her daughter.

After receiving his wife's signal, Bai Shijie coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Not yet, but if you choose Xiwen, our family will indeed donate to them."

The couple had considered this. If their daughter chose this school, they would donate the amount they had discussed with the principal. As long as their daughter was happy, that little amount of money was nothing.

"It's fine as long as you haven't donated." Bai Ning's expression eased a lot as she continued, "Actually, I've already chosen a school."

Although her family was not poor as his adoptive mother had said, she did not need them to donate any money or use their connections to get in through the back door.

"You've already chosen one? Which of the three schools is it?" Jiang Meilin asked expectantly.

"First Middle School," Bai Ning replied, scratching her head.

"First Middle School?" The couple asked in unison, their voices full of shock. Did they mishear?

"Daughter, can you repeat that? Which high school? " Jiang Meilin asked again.

"First Middle School, the top high school in the city," Bai Ning replied lazily.

After hearing the answer, Bai Shijie still did not give up and asked again, "Daughter, you're really not joking?"

Bai Ning had to stop her lazy expression and said seriously, "I chose First Middle School, and I'll only go to First Middle School. I won't go to any other school."

The two of them were shocked once again. Their eyes were as wide as bronze bells. They looked at each other silently, clearly still in disbelief.
