Chapter 54: Surpassing the Top Student of Your Class By Accident

The Year Head looked up at the students and said gently, “Meng Jinyang, Shen Huan, we owe you an apology for today. We should not have suspected you of cheating and we hope that you won’t be affected by this and continue to get excellent grades on your exams.”

Just then, the door to the meeting room was pushed open.

The moment Lu Yang entered, he said in an eccentric tone, “Why does giving an apology need to be policed so strictly? How interesting. Is Class One the only class capable of producing good students? If someone outside of Class One does well does that automatically mean they cheated?”

Luo Songhua’s aging face flooded with anger instantly and she glared at Lu Yang.

Behind him, Chu Yao and Fatty tried to control their mirth.

The Year Head was silenced by Lu Yang’s speech as well.

Lu Yang suddenly acted as though he had hit upon a realization. “Ms. Luo, I heard from other teachers that Meng Jinyang was supposed to go to Class One at first, but you didn’t want to take her because you were disdainful of her education. How does it feel like to be slapped in the face now?”

Luo Songhua’s chest heaved violently and her eyes looked like they were going to burst into flames.

Gu Mang’s hands were in her pockets as she stood with her head cocked to the side. There seemed to be a wicked smile playing at the corner of her lips.

Xi Yan looked at Luo Songhua. “Ms. Luo, even the Year Head has already apologized. What about you?”

“That’s right, Ms. Luo. Who was the one who said that she would apologize to Gu Mang if someone from Class Twenty scored better than the last place student in Class One? It seems like you did.” Lu Yang smiled. “My apologies, we’ve even surpassed the top student in Class One.”

“Lu Yang!” Unable to withstand this anymore, Luo Songhua stood up suddenly and slammed her hands on the table. “Shut up!”

Lu Yang laughed and shouted in a louder voice, “Apologize!”

If it were not for Chu Yao’s girlfriend in Year One who told them about it, they wouldn’t have known that this old witch was trying to slander Class Twenty!

Luo Songhua breathed heavily as she dug her nails into the meeting table.

“Ms. Luo.” The quiet and gentle Meng Jinyang spoke out suddenly. She looked at Luo Songhua with her pure, bright eyes, and said clearly, enunciating every word, “The rumors originated from Class One. They sounded very ugly and even slandered Gu Mang’s reputation. I don’t believe that you’re unaware that you were the one who initiated this bet. Now that Class Twenty has won, I hope you’ll be willing to accept defeat.”

There was a staunchness in the girl’s eyes. It was as though this was the first time she was trying to protect someone and her fists were curled tightly like a hawk chick.

Upon hearing this, Gu Mang’s eyebrows rose and a smile appeared in her eyes.

It seemed like letting her come to school was the right choice. She had now learned how to embarrass someone.

Luo Songhua glared at them, gritted her teeth, and said stiffly, “Gu Mang, I’m sorry.”

With that said, she rushed out of the meeting room quickly with displeasure on her face.

When she passed by Gu Mang and the rest, she scowled daggers at them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Yang scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Let’s go and get some food, Gu Mang.”

They walked out of the meeting room.

Gu Mang wrapped her arm around Xi Yan in a buddy-like way and said softly, “Thank you, Little Xi. You must have suffered a lot of criticism before we arrived.”

Xi Yan had been the subject of much eye-rolling and ridicule by being the form teacher for Class Twenty.

In the past, she merely grinned and bore it, slowly getting used to it.

Gu Mang’s words made Xi Yan’s eyes redden instantly. She said, “Then you’re not allowed to get zeros for the next Chemistry test. Pay attention in class and do your homework.”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and agreed readily. “Sure.”
