Chapter 523: Chapter 523: The Other Three Spoiled Brats (6)_1 Chapter 523: Chapter 523: The Other Three Spoiled Brats (6)_1 Ruan Wei held the prizes with mixed feelings and whispered at Ruan Jiaojiao’s side, “Sister, I will definitely try hard during the final exams, and I will also win prizes for you.”

“Good, I believe in brother. Brother, you need to put in more effort,” Ruan Jiaojiao said with an encouraging smile.

Ruan Wei wasn’t dumb, but in the past, no one was there to guide or teach him, unlike Ruan Jun who could learn from Ruan Hao or Ruan Chi who could learn from Ruan Jie. He was a bit older than them, so his foundations were a bit weaker.

But now they were in the same class, and they did their homework together every day. Her enthusiasm inspired him, and he no longer feared humiliation. He would ask her and Xiu Xi about anything he didn’t understand. In less than half a semester, he had already improved greatly. It was entirely possible for him to get good results on the final exams.

After the three of them left the classroom, the other three outside had been waiting and volunteered to help carry the prizes when they saw Xiu Xi carrying a backpack and trying to hold onto the awards as well. The group walked mightily towards the school gate.

When they arrived at the school gate, they happened to meet Liu Mei and Xiu Cheng.

Since they lived at the head of the village, the boys usually came to play at the tenement where Ruan Jiaojiao lived, and she hadn’t seen Liu Mei for a long time. She didn’t expect to see her today.

Liu Mei also saw them at first glance. Noticing that Ruan Jiaojiao was holding several certificates while Xiu Xi wasn’t holding anything, her eyes flickered, then she puffed out her chest proudly, looking over at them and shouted so loud that it could be heard a hundred meters away, “Hey, my Cheng got the sixth place, just missed a little to receive a certificate. He really inherited my intelligence, not like some people who think they are young masters just because they dress well. Deep down, they are still some unwanted mongrel with bad blood, not even their brains work properly.”

Time proved to be a wonderful thing. With months gone by, Xiu Cheng’s hand injury had healed, and Liu Mei gradually forgot her fear of Xiu Xi. Plus, with the good results Xiu Cheng had achieved this time, she got so carried away that she forgot everything.

Seeing Xiu Xi without a certificate, she assumed his scores were bad and couldn’t help but show off at the school gate.

Moreover, the fact that Xiu Cheng didn’t get a certificate this time was, in Liu Mei’s eyes, due to the teachers’ negligence. She thought it was because the teachers hadn’t taught well that her son didn’t perform well. Because of this belief, she had made it known in the village just how terrible the first-grade teachers were, preventing her son from receiving a certificate.

She completely forgot that Xiu Xun was also in the same class and had got the top place, whereas her son had not. She couldn’t fathom why.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Liu Mei, who seemed as dumb as they come, and although she didn’t want to deal with her, she didn’t want Xiu Xi to be at a disadvantage either. She glanced at Liu Mei, who was all puffed up and smug, deliberately walked closer to her, then flipped through the certificates in her hand and said to Xiu Xi with a beaming smile, “Brother Xiu, this first-place certificate of yours is so beautiful. Shall we stick it on the wall when we get home?”

“What! First place!” Liu Mei’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

“Yes, doesn’t Aunt Liu know? Not only did Brother Xiu skip a grade to the third year, but he also got the first place. Isn’t that super awesome?” Ruan Jiaojiao purposely waved the first-place certificate in front of Liu Mei, her tone full of pride, “Indeed, my Brother Xiu is the smartest, and not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can compare to him.”
