Chapter 594 My Son, Can’t You Be Humble?
After the opening ballet performance, a pair of male and female emcees walked up the stage and delivered their opening
speech. "Respected administrators and dear guests, it is our honor today to welcome you to the award ceremony of our
school..."
At the end of the speech was the award ceremony.
The emcees announced the third-prize and second-prize winners first.
The vice-principal and the various heads of department awarded the trophies to the students.
Every named student went up the stage excitedly.
The school was the most renowned private school in A City, and every student there came from a wealthy and influential family.
The school had the best educational infrastructure and teachers, and the students were naturally intelligent and talented. It was
evident that being an ace student there was not an easy feat.
All the students who went up the stage were excited and proud, while their parents in the audience shared their glory.
Bianca waited patiently for Rainie's turn. It was the little girl's first time going up the stage to receive an award.
The female emcee's pleasant voice rang out once more. "Next, we'll be giving out first prize awards. Boys and girls, if you hear
your name being called out, please come up to the stage. Rainie Crawford, from First Grade, Class 6..."
Rainie had changed into her uniform. She walked up the stage.
Facing the emcees alone on the stage and looking down at the sea of people in the audience, she became a little frightened.
When she saw her mother sitting in the third row smiling and waving at her, as though giving her encouragement, she felt a little
better.
The male emcee started to speak into his microphone with his attractive voice. "Rainie has won the first prize in the Citywide
Drawing Competition with her art piece, 'The Mermaid in the Undersea Maze.' Congratulations!"
A lady brought Rainie's drawing onto the stage.
The drawing was placed on the scanner and was projected onto the big screen for the audience to see.
The mermaid in the drawing was lifelike, and the magnitude of the undersea maze was vividly portrayed, as though the viewer
was actually exploring its secrets. At the surface of the sea were people catching fish with dynamite.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and applauded when they saw the drawing.
"Rainie has depicted the conflict between humans and nature in her drawing. Unrestrained development has caused serious
pollution to the ocean, and the mermaid is hiding in her undersea maze. The mermaid's gaze is filled with love for nature, but she
is covering her ears because of noise pollution, and you can see her agony from the tears in the corner of her eye. Rainie has
expressed her bold idea with vibrant colors, and the drawing is filled with fantasy and mystery. Let's welcome Mdm. Queenie
Zeigler, well-known philanthropist of A City, to present the award..."
Queenie was dressed in a white dress. She stood up from her seat and walked up the stage.
She carried herself in a noble and elegant manner, but at the same time, she had a gentle and approachable demeanor.
Queenie bent down, took the trophy from the little helper's hands, and handed it to Rainie. "Congratulations on winning the first
prize, Rainie. I hope that you will continue to produce amazing drawings." "Thank you, I will do my best," Rainie said in an
adorable voice as she smiled at Queenie.
Queenie could feel her heart melt when she saw the little girl's smile.
She could not help but crouch and pat the little girl's head.
The little girl looked like her when she was a child.
Queenie was still thinking of Rainie even after she returned to her seat.
The child was soft and tender, and her hair was fluffy to the touch. If her birth daughter was married and had children, the child
should be about the little girl's age.
Queenie laughed at herself when she thought of that.
She realized that her memory was getting worse the older she got. She had just reunited with her birth daughter, and she had
not even asked about Julie's love life. Why was she already thinking about grandchildren?
She was losing her mind thinking about her daughter.
"We have now arrived at the most exciting moment. Blanche Crawford of Third Grade, Class 1 has won six prizes in total. He
has won the first prize in the National Scientific Innovation Competition, the first prize in the A City Stars of Hope Public Speaking
Competition, the first prize in the A City Aerospace Modeling Competition, and so on. Please come up to the stage, Blanche!"
Queenie came to her senses when she heard the emcee's announcement.
She lifted her head and saw a little boy in a baseball cap walk up the stage with his hands in his pockets. He was also chewing
gum.
He looked similar to Rainie.
However, Rainie was soft and cute, while the boy was gallant and handsome.
Queenie stared at him. The two first prize winners of the ceremony were not only smart but also good-looking.
The boy's surname was also "Crawford." Was he siblings with Rainie?
Queenie also recalled that when her daughter was dating Luke, she said that Luke had a pair of twins.
Queenie was fond of children, and she had asked Leia to bring the children home. Before Leia could do that, she had already
broken up with Luke. Naturally, Queenie did not have the chance to meet the twins.
She was inexplicably excited when she saw the children. She even forgot that their father was the culprit who had hurt her
daughter. Her thoughts were filled with the two outstanding children...
Lanie stayed on the stage for an interview. The female emcee crouched to his height and placed her microphone in front of his
mouth. "You're the student who has won the most awards, Blanche. Do you have secrets that you want to share with your
friends?"
Lanie thought for a long time before saying, No." "So why do you always win the first prize in everything?" The emcee was
persistent.
"Maybe that's because the other people are stupid," Lanie blurted.
"..." The emcee was speechless.
Bianca was speechless too.
She covered her face with her hands. 'My son, I know that you're very smart, but can't you be humble too?'
The rest of the audience was shocked by what the little boy said. However, they considered the fact that his parents could not
have bought those awards with money, and they had to admit that the boy was indeed talented.
Queenie chuckled when she heard Lanie's boastful words. 'What a candid boy!'
If she had a grandson like Lanie, she would definitely spoil him.
