Chapter 450 - Lifes a Play, and Everything Depends on Acting (1/2)

Through Yun Xi, news of Zhao Yumo’s sudden illness and hospitalization spread like wildfire throughout the senior grade level.

The 29th of the month was the date for the preliminary stage of the English compet.i.tion. From the teacher who’d visited Zhao Yumo, they’d heard that she had a fever and a sore throat. There was probably no hope for her partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion.

Many knew that Zhao Yumo came from a family of translators, so they felt bad for her.

But some who were her rivals felt gleeful. The disqualification of a formidable rival secretly made them happy.

Zhou Chengzhe looked regretful when he mentioned Zhao Yumo in front of his teachers and cla.s.smates, but he was actually happier than anyone else deep inside.

For others, without Zhao Yumo, their rankings might go up by a little, but for Zhou Chengzhe, Zhao Yumo’s absence was directly related to his future.

In order to keep up her act of leading the snake out of his hole, Yun Xi had specially bought a dark-colored foundation in order to make herself look more haggard than usual.

She’d also deepened her dark circles with makeup to create the appearance of sleeplessness.

She allowed herself to be repeatedly called out by her teachers for sleeping in several cla.s.ses. There was no way her efforts would go unnoticed.

Upon being called out by the teacher, she had deliberately glanced at Li Sinuo.

Li Sinuo’s seat was right at the front. Though it seemed as if she was looking at the teacher, in reality, she had been watching Li Sinuo’s reactions.

Upon careful observation, Yun Xi saw unconcealed glee and smugness on Li Sinuo’s face after thinking that she had succeeded. There was no confusion or guilt.

Yun Xi could pretty much confirm that Li Sinuo probably hadn’t known what was in Yun Xi’s cup.

If she had known, her expression at this moment wouldn’t be so subtle and careful.

Yun Xi had no idea how the man had coaxed Li Sinuo when he’d given her the stuff to use on her cla.s.smates, but whatever he’d said, she didn’t seem to have the slightest worry.

Li Sinuo was going to suffer greatly this year.

Not only this year, but her promising future would probably also end right here.

Yun Xi believed that she had given Li Sinuo many chances that had gone unappreciated, whenever Li Sinuo had crossed her bottom line. No one could blame her for being merciless.
