Chapter 73: Luo Songhua Ate Her Words!
The next day was the day of the first Year Three Parent-Teacher meeting and the first Year Three Assembly. 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 Class Twenty?”
“Yeah, I just don’t understand how a transfer student with such a good academic record would go to Class Twenty. Shouldn’t they be assigned to Class 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 principal’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 Class 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 Class One instead of Class Twenty. The teacher must have said something to provoke Gu Mang.
Lin Zhou was instead the one to return the greeting. “Ms. Luo.”
As soon as Gu Mang appeared in the square, Lu Yang quickly noticed her. “Pa, Ma, I’m going over there to find my classmate. Pa, remember to gather at Class Twenty later.”
With that said, he ran off.
Lu Shangjin’s mouth twitched. He slightly bowed his head as he said to Lin Zhou, “I’m going over as well. Stop sulking. No one succeeds all the time. Next time, Yi’er will definitely be the top scorer.”
Lin Zhou pursed her lips and smiled, nodding lightly.
Lu Shangjin grasped her shoulder before walking towards Gu Mang.
…
Lu Chengzhou and Jiang Shenyuan were influential, celebrity figures in the capital whom countless women went crazy for. Gu Mang’s face was looking so conspicuous with her cool, untameable aura about her.
Her black baseball cap covered her fine eyebrows and she held a lollipop in the corner of her beautiful lips, looking so pretty and wild. Many of the boys at school hadn’t seen Gu Mang before. When the rumored school beauty appeared, many of the boys were dazed as they stood together casually and chatted.
A commotion had already started amongst them. There were lots of discussions.
“Damn, who is that guy? Ahhh, so hot!!!” said a girl as she watched Lu Chengzhou.
The girl beside her was unable to take her eyes off him. “I don’t know. He’s standing with Gu Mang. Is he her relative?”
“The man next to him is also super hot! Damn, who are those people? Their attractiveness index is so high!!!”
Lu Shangjin had already expected this would happen and he was filled with mixed feelings. Some people were fated never to have a low-profile life since their birth.
