Shan Yue nodded thoughtfully. “Alright, I understand. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll settle it myself.” With that, she pushed Shan Chen comfortingly and urged, “Hurry up and go to class. You’re going to be late.”
“B-but…” Shan Chen could not help but turn around to look at her, his eyes filled with hesitation and worry. He was worried that Shan Yue could not resolve this matter alone. After all, only the teacher could change her score to zero. Usually, students who went against the teacher would be punished and write a self-reflection letter.
No matter what, he did not want Shan Yue to face these things alone. As her family, he should always stand by her side!
Shan Yue understood Shan Chen’s thoughts. She curled her lips and urged again, “Go quickly. I’ll call you to settle it with me after class, alright?”
Hearing this, Shan Chen was completely relieved. He smiled at Shan Yue and jogged back to the classroom.
Shan Yue had originally thought to go to the office after class to ask about it. The first place was not important to her. What she cared about was only one reason. However, an accident happened during the first math class in the morning, disrupting Shan Yue and Shan Chen’s plans.
The teacher-in-charge of the math class was Ms. Li, who had deliberately made things difficult for Shan Yue in class last time. After handing out the math paper to the entire class, Ms. Li leisurely glanced around the class and said, “My nephew, Li Xu, came in first place in this monthly exam. He scored 675 points. Among them, he scored 99 points in math, the highest in the grade.”
Only 99 points was the highest score in the entire third year of high school? Then what about her full marks in math? Shan Yue crossed her arms and watched silently as Ms. Li danced and praised her top student nephew.
“Ms. Li is acting up again. Every time before class, she has to nag a lot of things that have nothing to do with the class. It’s so annoying,” a girl in the back row complained softly.
Her deskmate secretly glanced at Ms. Li and hid behind a tall book to continue, “That’s right. She only knows how to brag about her sensible and filial nephew who had outstanding results and good personality every day. Those who don’t know might think that Li Xu is her biological son.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Since she likes it so much, she should have one. I even saw her arguing with the dean in the stairwell last time because she couldn’t get pregnant,” another person added.
“She and the dean? What’s their relationship?”
“Her husband is the bald dean. We knew because our language teacher introduced him. Did you only know it now?” The boy chuckled teasingly.
Hearing the discussion below the podium, Ms. Li slapped the table and said with a change in expression, “Quiet! You’re already in Year Three, are you still like a primary school student?!”
The few students who were discussing softly immediately sat up straight and stopped talking.
Unable to find the culprit who disturbed the class discipline, Ms. Li turned her gaze to Shan Yue in the corner. Seeing her cross her arms and look at her indifferently, Ms. Li was immediately furious.
In the entire grade, there was no teacher who did not know Shan Yue. There were also teachers who tried their best to help her raise her results, but in the end, they were all angered by Shan Yue’s intelligence level. They shook their heads and shouted that Shan Yue was hopeless.
At this moment, she was both disdainful and afraid of Shan Yue. After snorting coldly, she continued to pace on the podium. “I believe everyone has seen how outstanding Student Li Xu has been for the past three years. I hope that everyone can learn from Student Li Xu and be a good student with integrity. You can’t rely on some cunning methods and luck to deceive yourself and the teacher!”
Ms. Li gritted her teeth and stared at Shan Yue as she said the last few words. She thought that Shan Yue would lower her head guiltily, just like the students she had caught cheating or breaking the rules in the past. However, Shan Yue still looked at her expressionlessly, as if the person who was talking to her was not Shan Yue.
Ms. Li was even more unhappy. She thought to herself, She’s so thick-skinned and doesn’t take the teacher seriously at all. I have to contact the parents to deal with such a problem!
