Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 199 - 193 Mysterious Call!

First Middle School’s gates were already open, and a good number of students taking the exam at the school had gone inside.

Parents, buzzing around outside, each wore a face that was both tense and expectant.

One by one, the shuttle buses at the school gate drove off.

The last bus to No.3 Middle School was about to depart.

Tian Ye indeed did not spot Xia Ye.

Next to the bus, Emperor Yang stretched his neck, searching in all directions.

Upon meeting students from Class 19, he asked, "Has Xia Ye arrived?"

Without exception, the students replied, "Report, Brother Yang, we haven’t seen the class beauty."

After acknowledging with a "Got it," Emperor Yang never forgot to add another word of advice, "Don’t be nervous during the exam, just perform normally."

"Yes!"

The bus driver honked the horn, urging Tian Ye, who was standing at the door, to get on quickly.

Clutching his hand, Tian Ye turned to Emperor Yang, "Teacher Yang, Xia Ye wasn’t in the previous buses that went to No.3 Middle School either. Maybe you should call her family and ask."

The first test of the day was her strongest subject, Chinese; it would be a huge pity if she were late.

Emperor Yang hurriedly reached into his pocket for his phone, "Alright, the teacher will call right now; you’d better go with the bus."

Tian Ye nodded and boarded the bus.

Emperor Yang first tried calling Xia Ye, but as expected, her phone was like a decoration, checked only when she felt like it, and ignored at all other times.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Yang searched in his contacts list and directly called Mr. Jiang.

During the last parent-teacher conference, Jiang Xuan specifically left his number, saying if anything related to Xia Ye came up, Emperor Yang should contact him directly.

**

The Xia family men watched the car horn at them in warning, and without waiting for Dong Mao to take the back route, Jiang Xuan got out of the car directly.

He was originally going to First Middle School to see Xia Ye and happened to encounter the situation midway.

Just now, seeing the car parked by the roadside, he understood what was happening.

At that moment, he propped himself on the car door with one hand and pressed his phone to his ear with the other.

Emperor Yang’s voice sounded incredibly urgent, "Mr. Jiang, are you with Xia Ye? The last bus to No.3 Middle School has already left, could you..."

Jiang Xuan’s demeanor remained composed as he stepped out of the car without moving further away. He propped himself against the door to facilitate Xia Ye’s entry, motioning her into the car with a nod while replying on the phone, "I will drive her directly to No.3 Middle School."

Emperor Yang repeated fervently, "Great, great, great, the exam starts at 9 a.m., please, Mr. Jiang, hurry if you can."

Xia Ye adjusted her shoulder bag and ducked into the car.

Jiang Xuan locked his phone screen, slid it into his pocket, and was about to get into the car when he saw Xia Tiao and Xia Xian, one following Xia Ye into the backseat, the other climbing into the passenger seat.

They moved with incredible swiftness.

Once Jiang Xuan got back into the car, Xia Xian was sitting between him and Xia Ye, hugging Xia Ye’s shoulder with a feigned politeness and scooting to the side, "Little Tiangao, be good, let’s sit to the side, don’t crowd Mr. Jiang."

From the passenger seat, Xia Tiao looked back, full of gratitude, "We are so thankful, if it weren’t for Mr. Jiang, we really would have been too late."

Jiang Xuan: ...

He had just wanted Xia Ye to get into the car by herself, they might have misunderstood...

In the driver’s cabin, Dong Mao eyed the suddenly crammed space inside the car and chuckled, "Boss, Mr. Xia, I’ll start driving now, okay?"

The brothers of the little ancestor seemed to stick to their sister like glue; it seemed like an enormous regret not to accompany her to her college entrance exam.

His master probably regretted writing such a spoil-the-darling script for the little ancestor.

However, including the driver’s space, the car could only fit five people.

So, even though only two of the Xia family men had come aboard, there was no room left.

That was what Dong Mao thought.

But as he was about to start the car, he suddenly spotted Xia Xing through the window, standing with a mysteriously sweet smile and staring straight at him beside his seat.

His face full of covetousness.

A minute later, the car with the sleek body took a turn, heading in the direction of No.3 Middle School.

At the side of the road stood Dong Mao, left behind.

Alone, adrift in the wind!

Of the six people, only he was the extra one!

**

No.3 Middle School, Room 7.

Tian Ye glanced at the still-empty seat in the back row and then looked down at the time.

8:58.

The college entrance exam has strict rules, to prevent cheating and ensure fairness, if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the exam has started, you can’t enter the examination room.

Xia Ye still hadn’t arrived.

He had just received this language test paper, gave it a quick glance, and saw it wasn’t as difficult as the last mock exam. With Xia Ye’s ability, it was possible to get a perfect score, or even if a few points were deducted from the essay, the score would still be considerable.

This time, Xia Yourong was seated right next to Tian Ye. She sneaked a look at Tian Ye twice, feeling a little thrill in her heart.

What good luck, to be in the same examination room with Tian Ye and so close at that.

Tian Ye would surely take care of her.

However, from the few stealthy glances she had taken, she noticed that Tian Ye, who usually had a great mentality during exams, seemed a bit nervous today.

He kept checking the time on his watch.

It was understandable, after all, this was the college entrance exam, different from regular tests.

Not just Tian Ye, she was very nervous too.

The teachers at the lectern were discussing why the student in the back row still hadn’t arrived.

The exam was about to begin.

Xia Yourong did not know who the always-empty seat belonged to, nor did she care.

Anyone who dared to be late for the college entrance exam must have already given up on their scores.

Just then, footsteps suddenly echoed from the corridor.

They weren’t hurried at all, leisurely just like usual.

On the other hand, the invigilators at the front rushed out to meet the person.

They quickly checked her admission ticket, then pointed to her seat.

"You’re just in time. Do your best on the exam, don’t get distracted," they said.

"Thank you, teacher," as that cool and pleasant voice rang out, Xia Ye’s figure appeared at the classroom door.

Tian Ye quickly glanced at her, then promptly lowered his head to look at the paper.

At 9 o’clock sharp, the bell for the first session of the college entrance exam rang in the hallway. Xia Ye, neither early nor late, took her seat just as the bell sounded.

She picked up the paper and gave it a glance.

Starting to write at the same time as all the other students, she wasn’t delayed for even a second.

However, Xia Yourong, with a shocked expression, forgot to pick up her pen to answer the questions for a whole minute after the bell had finished ringing.

What shocked Xia Yourong was not that Xia Ye was in the same examination room as her, but the fact that Xia Ye’s arrival seemed to instantly relax Tian Ye’s seemingly tense demeanor.

What did that mean?

Could he have been worried about Xia Ye arriving late for the exam???

**

Meanwhile, outside the gates of No.3 Middle School.

A white, ordinary-looking BMW, amidst various fancy cars, didn’t stand out.

In the driver’s seat, Xu Qing, like the other parents waiting for the students to finish the first part of the exam, suddenly received a call on her mobile phone.

As she recognized the incoming number, her expression immediately grew tense!
