GoodReadRon hadn't seen Scarlett's grandfather in years. Yair was also a comrade of Ron before he retired from the army.
The three talked about the old days without knowing time flew by.
Jacky came with his father this evening to meet Scarlett. He had always admired Scarlett. He wanted to know how Scarlett got such high grades on every exam. He asked Scarlett some questions and learned that Scarlett was born with a high 1Q.

And Scarlett was also a diligent student. Of course, she would get good grades.
Jack's grades were good, too. It wasn't hard for him to get into a top-notch college. But he had ambition. With his current performance, he was still a distance from his dream college.
Jacky was frustrated when he learned that Scarlett's good grades were mainly due to her talent.
Seeing Jacky get silent, Scarlett realized that she might have just discouraged the boy.
She took a sip of her tea. It smelt nice. Then she turned to Jacky and smiled," What? Are you frustrated?" Jacky was a good student in school. And because his father was a soldier, he was a boy of pride.
The answers Scarlett had just given him really frustrated him.

Jacky didn't want to lie to Scarlett, but he was embarrassed to admit that his pride was blown by her frank answers.
He blushed and didn't say anything.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are there any students in your class from wealthy families?" At his age, Jacky didn't understand what family status had to do with his study. He thought Scarlett was changing the subject, and he nodded, "Yes. Tom and Julia's families are both very wealthy; Tom is our class councilor and Julia is our class recreation councilor. Julia's father is the chairman of a public company, and her mother owns a painting training institute." "Are you jealous of their families? Or feel inferior to them?" Hearing Scarlett's words, Jacky got confused, "Why should | be jealous of their families? That's their mom and dad's money. Their parents worked hard to earn it. There are also students in our class who are not well-off. My family is not rich, but we don't lack money. We live a good life. Why should | feel inferior to them?" "Besides, if | study hard and get into a top-notch university and maybe get a Ph.D.
after that, when | graduate, | can also make a lot of money." ‘Teenagers are indeed naive.’ Scarlett curled up the corners of her lips and smiled, "So why did you feel frustrated when | told you | have a high IQ? | was born with a high IQ. It is a gift, just like everyone's family. We can’t choose our parents; neither can we change our IQ. But we can work hard to get higher grades and make a great future." "You know you will get what you put in, right Jacky? My IQ just makes it easier for me. But if you work harder than | do, maybe you can surpass me." Viviana heard Scarlett's words and she couldn't help but laugh, "Jacky, Scarlett has never encouraged other kids so earnestly. If you can't understand it, she's going to be upset.” Scarlett glanced at Viviana and did not deny it. "You have a bright future ahead of you. If you get frustrated by my words, I'll feel guilty." Jacky understood what Scarlett had said. He felt embarrassed, "Thank you, Scarlett.” "You're welcome." Scarlett smiled. Then she stood up and grabbed her purse, "I'm going to go to the restroom." Scarlett glanced at her grandfather who was chatting happily with Ron and Yair, so she didn't disturb them, but went straight out of the room.
