Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Slapping the Fake Heiress 15
Second year class 1
Zhao Mingzhu was sitting in her seat, smiling and talking to her deskmate.
Her desk had a box of snacks and a cup of warm milk tea.
"Our Miss Zhao is so popular, who is this admirer who sent these?"
The deskmate, while taking homework out of her bag, joked with Zhao Mingzhu.
Zhao Mingzhu shared the snacks with her deskmate and gave the milk tea to the chubby kid behind her: "I donāt know who sent it, but I never liked sweets much, itād be a pity to throw them away, you guys can share."
The chubby boy behind her thanked her and then came over with the milk tea, secretly: "Zhao Mingzhu, I just passed by the principalās office and saw your mom."
"Really?"
Zhao Mingzhu was shocked inside, but her face remained unchanged: "My mom probably had something to talk to the principal about."
The chubby kid shook his head: "Your mom brought a young girl with her."
Zhao Mingzhuās right hand gripped the book tightly, her face smiling: "That must be Anning, sheās a distant relative of ours, my mom must be here to help her with school admission."
"Your relative ah."
The deskmate, forgetting about the homework, turned to Zhao Mingzhu: "Then you better watch out, donāt let this relative bully you. Let me tell you..."
The deskmateās father came from the countryside, her family often had rural relatives over, some were okay, but some were particularly troublesome, taking things and saying unimportant stuff, she and her mom were quite afraid of these relatives visiting.
"Not at all."
Zhao Mingzhu smiled and shook her head: "Anning is really nice, and quite pitiful too, her parents died, sheās all alone, my mom told me to take care of her."
The chubby kid couldnāt drink more than half a cup of the milk tea, he put the cup on the desk: "Sheās not going to be in our class, is she?"
"Maybe."
Zhao Mingzhu looked down, fear in her eyes.
She actually didnāt want Anning to come to class one, she feared that Anning would reveal her identity.
Zhao Mingzhu had always prided herself on her identity as Miss Zhao, the last thing she wanted was for people to know she was a fake rich girl, swapped at birth, which is also why she made up that Anning was a distant relative.
She didnāt dare say Anning was her sister, as that would reveal her origin.
"I will find out in a bit."
The chubby kid loved to gossip, his nickname was āNews Bagā, there wasnāt anything he couldnāt find out at school.
"Okay, thanks."
Zhao Mingzhu thanked the chubby kid with a smile.
The class teacher soon came in, two periods passed, and finally, it was the long break, the bell rang, and the chubby kid dashed out.
His movement and his physique really contradicted each other.
After he left for a while, he came back with news for Zhao Mingzhu: "I tell you, your relative has been placed in class 12."
"What?"
Zhao Mingzhuās deskmate gasped quietly: "Class 12, huh... are her grades really that bad?"
Itās known that students in class 12 are mostly those who got in through connections, few are there to study seriously, most are incompetent, knowing only how to eat, drink, and have fun.
In the Foreign Language School, everyone knows that being in class 12 means youāre pretty much done for.
Class one is the best class for academics in the whole grade, they always look down on students from class 12.
"She used to be in a small county, seems her academics arenāt that great."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed in relief knowing Anning was placed in class 12.
She had been worried that Anningās good academic performance would make the Zhao family favor her more.
Now hearing that Anningās academics were poor, she started to contemplate how to subtly make Anning look bad, how to bad-mouth Anning in front of Song Ruyi, making Song Ruyi think Anning is a bad kid.
"How can someone with bad grades come to the Capital?"
The chubby kid shook his head wordlessly: "Your relative must be very shrewd, knowing your family has money, she wants to cling on tightly, you have to be careful."
"Sheās not, sheās really nice."
Zhao Mingzhu spoke well of Anning on the surface yet subtly made it seem like Anning was vain: "Sheās also quite pitiful, she became an orphan at such a young age, what can she do? Although she still has relatives in the county... never mind, letās not talk about this."
By saying this, the chubby kid and the deskmate believed Anning wanted to cling to the Zhao family, wanting a better life, hence not staying with the close relatives in the county but instead traveled so far to the Capital to find this distant relative of the Zhao family.
Both of them instantaneously felt even more disgusted by Anning.
Anning followed Teacher Wu into class 12.
Before she even entered the class, she could hear the incredibly loud noise coming from class 12.
Teacher Wuās face turned dark as soon as he heard the noise.
Anning calmly followed behind Teacher Wu, pretending not to hear anything and entered the classroom.
"What are you all doing?"
Teacher Wu entered and immediately barked with a stern face.
Quickly, like at a concert, the huge noise instantly stopped, and the whole class quieted down.
When Anning looked again, she saw all the students in the class sitting upright at their desks, neat in appearance, hairstyles and makeup not messed up, clearly indicating they were just acting out this scene.
She found these classmates quite amusing.
Maybe, studying in class 12 would be more interesting than in class one.
Teacher Wu, afraid to frighten Anning, coughed and his expression softened, his voice also became gentler.
"Everyone quiet down..."
A blond-haired kid raised his hand: "Teacher, weāre very quiet."
Teacher Wu glared at the blond kid, and he immediately sat up straight.
"Alright, I want to introduce a new classmate to you all, this is our new transfer student, Zhao Anning. Anning, please introduce yourself."
Anning smiled and walked up to the podium, her gaze shyly surveying the students, her voice quite soft: "Iām Zhao Anning, I... havenāt been in the Capital for long, thereās a lot I donāt understand, please take care of me in the future."
After saying this, a visible blush appeared on Anningās face, clearly showing her discomfort with the situation, somewhat shy.
The students from class 12 were always daring and unruly, seeing how delicately shy Anning was, blushing with watery eyes looking at everyone, they actually found her quite cute.
