Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Slapping the Fake Heiress 36

Song Ruyi’s phone rang.

She hurriedly answered the call.

The call was from the homeroom teacher of Class One.

He somehow obtained Song Ruyi’s cellphone number and made this call.

The Class One homeroom teacher asked directly if Song Ruyi was willing to let Anning transfer to Class One, listing many benefits of being in Class One and also said many words of encouragement to Anning.

Of course, Song Ruyi actually did want Anning to go to Class One.

After all, Class One was the best class.

She looked at Anning, wanting to see what Anning thought.

Anning took the phone, smiled, and said to the Class One homeroom teacher: "Hello, I currently have no plans to go to Class One. Thank you for your kind offer."

The Class One homeroom teacher was pretty disappointed.

However, he didn’t insist, "Alright, the teacher respects your choice. If you ever change your mind, come and find me."

After hanging up the phone, Anning discussed with Song Ruyi, "Mom, I want to learn more."

Uh?

Song Ruyi gestured for Anning to continue.

"I want to learn piano, a few more foreign languages, calligraphy, and many other things..."

Song Ruyi was quite troubled: "Learning so much, can you handle it? Your health is important. I understand that you want to win some glory, to make your dad and me proud, but we must consider the actual situation. Your health isn’t great to begin with and still not fully recovered. If you plan such an intense schedule, I’m afraid it will wear you down."

Anning shook his head: "It’s okay, why don’t you arrange a few courses for me first, let’s give it a try. If it really doesn’t work out, we can cut back, is that okay?"

"Okay."

With such enthusiasm from the child, Song Ruyi naturally wouldn’t refuse too much.

In Class Twelve, Xiao Yuan looked at the report card in his hand, with a big joyful smile.

He, who had always been at the bottom, finally made some progress this time.

Although his scores weren’t as terrifying as Anning’s, his improvement was still quite significant.

Previously always the last, this time he moved up nearly two or three hundred places and was finally not dragging his class down.

Xiao Yuan took out his phone, snapped a photo of the report card, and sent it to Anning.

Anning replied quickly.

Anning: Congratulations! Confetti.jpg

Xiao Yuan was even happier.

During the break, Zhang Ke and Gao Nana entered from outside, with Gao Nana excitedly dancing a fiery number on the teacher’s desk.

"Guys, we just ran into those from Class One and we showed off to them a bit. You know what we did to those snobs from Class One?"

"They’ve always looked down on us, and now that the top student is from our class, they got slapped in the face. They even avoid us in the restrooms."

Zhang Ke raised his hand and shouted, "To celebrate that we surpassed Class One, let’s all go out and have fun together this Saturday!"

Teacher Wu, holding his textbook, stood at the doorway, staring at Zhang Ke without saying a word.

Zhang Ke belatedly realized.

"Well, everyone’s just excited."

He got off the teacher’s desk, bent over and stretched out his hand in an inviting gesture, "Teacher, after you. Please, allow me to assist you."

Teacher Wu was provoked to laughter, gently tapping Zhang Ke’s head with the textbook: "Step down."

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Ke quickly ran to his seat.

Teacher Wu stood at the teacher’s desk, with a stern face spoke: "Pretty happy, aren’t we? Is the celebration that amusing?"

"No,"

Teacher Wu looked around with a half-smiling, half-serious expression, "Just because someone from our class ranked first in the grade, you think you can act so arrogant? But I’d like to ask, what right do you have to be arrogant? You are merely basking in Anning’s light, thinking you’re something special? How did Anning achieve her grades? It’s from her serious studying, inclusive of her hard work, sweat, and even tears. She deserves and rightfully owns that first place, but why should you benefit from her success? If you really want to overshadow Class One, you need to rely on your own efforts. When the day comes that every one of you surpasses Class One, then you can celebrate however you want and I promise I won’t interfere."

Teacher Wu’s words caused everyone to hang their heads.

"Don’t think you can be reckless because you’re young, don’t assume you have plenty of time."

Teacher Wu slammed a book onto the podium, "If you waste your time now on frivolous things, you won’t know how much effort you’ll have to put in later to make up for the time wasted. Now you all act like you’re the Master, so mighty and impressive, but eventually, society will teach you how to behave."

Many students felt disgruntled, "Teacher, your words are a bit too much. It’s our youth, if we don’t have fun now, when we look back, all we’ll remember is studying, and that’s the real regret."

Teacher Wu scoffed, "I’ve said this so many times, whether you listen or not is up to you. Alright, class is starting."

Some students, feeling suffocated, simply laid their heads on the desk and fell asleep.

Xiao Yuan, however, sat up straight and listened carefully throughout the entire lesson, not dozing off even once.

Everyone felt that Xiao Yuan had changed; it was as if Anning had influenced him.

But no one dared to say that to Xiao Yuan.

When school was over, Xiao Yuan was quite pleased to take his report card home.

He didn’t go to his own villa where he lived alone; instead, he went back to his family home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father Xiao Hongyi, his stepmother Tian Mei, and his stepsister Chen Ke’er sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing together.

It appeared as a warm and sweet family scene, making Xiao Yuan feel like an outsider, unable to interject.

"You’re back, Ning."

Seeing Xiao Yuan, Xiao Hongyi immediately straightened his face, "You still remember this home, huh?"

Tian Mei quickly stood up and went to take Xiao Yuan’s backpack with a smile, "Yuan Yuan’s back. I was just about to call you... Sit down quickly. Are you thirsty? Hungry?"

Xiao Yuan sat down with a cold face.

Chen Ke’er glanced at Xiao Yuan, then scooted closer to Tian Mei.

"It was the mid-term exams, right?"

Xiao Hongyi asked after waiting a while.

Xiao Yuan nodded, taking the report card out of his backpack, "The teacher asked for a parent signature."

Xiao Hongyi hummed as he took the report card, "You must be last again, can’t you show some drive? Always the very bottom..."

Huh?

He looked at the grades in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.

Then, Xiao Hongyi looked up, furiously glaring at Xiao Yuan, "You little cheat! Are you trying to kill me? Not studying properly is one thing, but cheating..."

He pointed at Xiao Yuan, shaking with anger, "Just look at you! Look at your hair, your ragged clothes, you..."

"That’s enough, tone it down."

Tian Mei quickly held Xiao Hongyi back, preventing him from hitting Xiao Yuan in a fit of anger, "Yuan Yuan’s improvement is something to be happy about, why are you angry?"

She turned to Xiao Yuan with a smile, "Yuan Yuan, don’t be mad, your dad is just concerned. I’m happy for your improvement for you..."

Xiao Yuan glared at Tian Mei, "Who asked for your opinion?"

Tian Mei’s smile turned awkward.

Chen Ke’er stared at Xiao Yuan, her face also carrying a hint of anger.

Seeing Chen Ke’er’s expression, Xiao Yuan’s temper exploded, "What, even you look down on me? Don’t think you’re something special just because you get good grades. No matter what, your last name is still Chen."

Xiao Hongyi slammed the table in rage, "Why are you lashing out at Ke’er? What has she done to you? Xiao Yuan, if you can’t stand Ke’er, you don’t have to come back."

Xiao Yuan, angry, grabbed his backpack and stormed out, "As if I’m eager to come back."

Tian Mei hurried after him, "Yuan Yuan, where are you going? We’re about to have dinner..."

But she was petite and couldn’t keep up with the long-limbed Xiao Yuan.
