Chapter 73 - : Luo Songhua Ate Her Words! (1/2)

The next day was the day of the first Year Three Parent-Teacher meeting and the first Year Three a.s.sembly. The school had spent a lot of money organizing such a large event. Music could be heard playing 500 meters away from the sound system. There were parents and Year Three students in school uniforms walking all around the school.

Some of them came together to discuss their kids’ academics and the conversation led to the topic of rankings.

“What? The top student this time is a Year Three transfer student?! And she’s from Cla.s.s Twenty?”

“Yeah, I just don’t understand how a transfer student with such a good academic record would go to Cla.s.s Twenty. Shouldn’t they be a.s.signed to Cla.s.s One?”

“I don’t know. Maybe the school had to take other things into consideration.”

Luo Songhua heard these discussions wherever she went. She almost crushed her teeth into pieces as she kept up a stiff smile. Did she regret it? Of course she did! If she had known that Meng Jinyang was such a good student, she wouldn’t have said those things back in the princ.i.p.al’s office! A student like her might even have the chance to become the top scorer on the province university entrance exams this year.

Xi Yan got lucky!

She took a deep breath and adjusted her expression as she walked towards Cla.s.s One’s area in the square. Lin Zhou and Lu Shangjin came together to attend the parent-teacher meetings for Lu Yi and Lu Yang.

Lu Yi stood beside Lin Zhou looking expressionless. Lin Zhou maintained an awkward, forced smile. The woman of the rich families, upon finding out Lu Yi’s grades, didn’t dare to approach her for fear of saying something wrong.

Lu Shangjin lectured Lu Yang briefly as usual, telling him to study diligently.

Lu Yang smiled as he agreed, looking as though he were just putting on a front to get it over with. His eyes wandered as he looked around for someone.

“Mr. Lu, Madam Lu,” Luo Songhua greeted Lu Shangjin and the others first, smiling ingratiatingly.

Lu Shangjin didn’t reply.

It wasn’t hard to guess how exactly Meng Jinyang had ended up going to Cla.s.s One instead of Cla.s.s Twenty. The teacher must have said something to provoke Gu Mang.

Lin Zhou was instead the one to return the greeting. “Ms. Luo.”
