Chapter 188 - Difficult for Her to Plead Her Innocence (2/2)

With all the distracting chatter, both mocking Yang Lu and Yun Xi, Yang Lu’s face grew pale with anger.

When she’d told Yun Xi that someone had tried to bribe her a few days ago, Yun Xi had told her that the person had ulterior motives.

Hearing these words from her cla.s.smates who she went to school with every day, Yang Lu realized that it was truly difficult for her to plead her innocence.

“Shut up, all of you. Instead of studying hard in our last year, you are all here gossiping instead. Don’t you want to go to college?”

“What does it have to do with you whether or not we take the university entrance exam? You should mind your own business.”

“That’s right. If you try any more tricks, be careful or Yun Xi will handle you.”

Yang Lu’s face grew stiff, and she turned her head and looked at Yun Xi, who was smiling at her and shaking her head. Yang Lu’s words felt stuck in her throat.

“You…” She didn’t want to say any vicious words.

Yun Xi closed her book and then walked over and dragged Yang Lu back and sat down.

“Yang Lu, you only need to remember what I said to you, I don’t want to say more about the others. For those who aren’t worthy, there is no need to waste your precious time talking nonsense with them. Do you understand?”

Yang Lu stared at Yun Xi’s calm and imposing countenance in a daze. Looking at Yun Xi’s wisdom that went well beyond her years suddenly made Yang Lu understand.

Nodding, she felt the resentful words of grievance at the tip of her tongue suddenly disappear.

“I understand…”

Upon seeing that they’d failed to cause a rift between them, they all looked over at Liang Xinyi at the same time, then at Yun Xi, and felt somewhat unsettled.

After Yang Lu had sat down next to Yun Xi, she’d seemed to have changed her personality. Besides her academic achievements, she’d become calm and low key.

The sudden drastic gap in terms of grades made them subconsciously jealous and made them feel that she was a potential threat.

So whenever there was a chance to partic.i.p.ate in a quarrel, all those who were jealous of her immediately gathered together.

Yun Xi glanced at Liang Xinyi and said airily, “In self-study cla.s.ses, gossiping should be done outside of the cla.s.sroom. If it affects other students’ studying, I’ll have no choice but to ask the homeroom teacher to watch over the group.”

The homeroom teacher had always been fond of Yun Xi, so no one wanted to offend her.
