Chapter 97: Should at Least Bow?
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
The entire classroom seemed to have been paused. Everyone froze and looked at the director in shock.
Xue Yao widened her eyes in disbelief.
Li Hanlei felt as though she had been slapped and her expression turned ugly.
The students in the class who were speaking up for Xue Xi admired Xue Yao and Li Hanleis awkward expressions. Meanwhile, the few people who had followed Xue Yao and Li Hanleis lead to seek revenge on Xue Xi lowered their heads, unable to speak.
There was no applause or cheers in the classroom. The director felt that something was amiss and looked at Old Liu in confusion. Why? Do you think its too little?
Old Liu coughed. Just as he was about to speak, the director hurriedly said, Of course, this is only a part of the reward. There are also some cash prizes. One of our schools special goals each year is to obtain the first prize in competitions. For this, the prize money is 10,000 yuan. Another goal is to get a guaranteed spot to a top-notch school, and for that, the prize is 100,000 yuan! Xue Xis situation is extraordinary. Not only did she receive two first-level prizes, but she was also guaranteed admissions. Furthermore, several universities have been calling us about her every day to ask about what her conditions were, making the school proud. Hence, the school has decided to reward her with 180,000 yuan in cash. Xue Xi, give me your bank card number.
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Although they were all children from wealthy families, those in the experimental class were treated more strictly and had a fixed allowance every month.
180,000 yuan was substantial enough for them.
Xue Xi, who was doing her paper, looked up in confusion. Oh.
The director:
Hed been feeling excited all this while and thought that he would also see some excitement on the students faces, but why were the students so calm?
He turned to look at Old Liu. Then, shall I leave first?
Old Liu was in a bad mood and said angrily, Why dont you stay and listen to my lesson before leaving?
The director pointed at him.Ever since Xue Xi has been accepted to university, Old Liu, youve been acting untouchable!
A while after the director had left, Qin Shuang broke the silence. Sister Xi, youre amazing. You just lost us two marks but turned around to bring back 20 marks!
The rest also spoke up.
Thats the Goddess of Studying for you!
Thats true. Those aggressive people just now must be feeling a sting on their faces, right?
Old Liu coughed and the class quietened down. Old Liu looked at Xue Yao and Li Hanlei and said, Its not the schools intention that you attack each other over such an impermanent thing like that banner.
Besides, our class and Class Two were tied previously. According to the schools rules, even if we remained tied, the banner would still have had to go to Class Two. Do the two points Xue Xi lost us really mean anything?
Xue Yao and Li Hanlei lowered their heads at Old Lius words. Xue Yao whispered, Mr. Liu, we just want the banner too much.
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Old Liu shook his head in disappointment. He turned around, turned on the projector, and inserted the thumb drive that he had brought along with him. This is last months score. Both classes were never late and would also leave early, yet we still scored three marks higher than Class Two did. Do you know why?
Xue Yao knew. Because our class average is three marks higher than theirs!
Apart from discipline, the silk banner also went to the class with the grades.
Old Liu nodded. Then can you guess who contributed these three points?
He took out all of Xue Xis scores from the calculation, and the average score for the entire class instantly dropped by four points!
Old Liu turned to look at Xue Yao. Xue Xi has been in the class for two months. Last month, the class received the brocade flag because of her. This month, it can be said that we owe it to her once again.
The entire class was instantly silent!
Xue Yao stared at the scores on the projector in disbelief and clenched her jaw.
In the end, Old Liu concluded, The classs sense of honor isnt based on whether someone has done anything. Its just a matter of whether that someone is successful or not.
After saying this, he took a deep look at Xue Yao and left the classroom.
The classroom fell into a long silence. Old Lius last sentence shocked everyone.
Amid this silence, Qin Shuang suddenly said, Old Liu is right. We are bound by glory and destruction. However, shouldnt the people who accused Sister Xi earlier apologize to her?
Everyone turned to look at Li Hanlei and Xue Yao.
Li Hanlei bit her lip and lowered her head.
Xue Yao merely clenched her fists.
Qin Shuang was aggressive. When you asked Sister Xi to apologize, she immediately did it. Or what, when its your turn, its not something that needs to be done anymore?
Xue Yaos face turned pale from anger. She whispered, Sorry.
Qin Shuang tilted her head. What did you say? I cant hear you! Sister Xi, did you hear her?
Xue Xi, who had been interrupted again, slowly raised her head. What?
Qin Shuang pointed at Xue Yao. See, the person in question did not hear it. What kind of apology is that?
Xue Yaos face turned red as tears rolled down her cheeks. She suddenly shouted, Im sorry! Im sorry, alright?!
Qin Shuang smiled. But is a simple apology enough? You dont have to kowtow, but you should at least give Sister Xi a bow, right?
This was what Xue Yao had just said to Xue Xi.
Looking at Qin Shuangs back, the corner of Xue Xis lips could not help but curl up.This little chatterbox can become Qin Nis retort!
Of course, Xue Yao would not bow. She ran out crying to avoid the awkwardness in the class.
Xue Xi did not care about her apology because she had never placed much importance on Xue Yao. She lowered her head and continued to answer exercises.
The days classes ended quickly. When school was over, Xue Xi carried her bag and left the building. She saw Uncle Li driving another car to pick her up.
She did not speak much to begin with and was indifferent to the matters at hand, so she did not ask where they were going.
Uncle Li drove her to her new houseXinyuans Residence.
This was a villa district. Their house was a three-story villa. It occupied a total of 200 square meters.
Outside, there was a small garden that was tens of square meters. There was a tree, and under the trees shade was a swing. It was decorated in the style of a garden.
When the car arrived, Ye Li came to fetch her and said excitedly, Xixi, Ill bring you to your room. I designed your room personally this time!
Xue Xi followed behind her and entered.
Xue Sheng looked at Uncle Li in confusion. Why is your car different today?
Uncle Li said, Oh. When I went to the old house to fetch Missy this morning, I was stopped by Second Young Master. He said that he didnt need me to send her off and didnt let me in. Then, when I was going to fetch Eldest Young Lady in the afternoon, I couldnt contact Second Young Master. I didnt know where to get the usual car, so I used this car for now.
Xue Sheng frowned and asked sternly, You said that you didnt send Xixi this morning, so who did?
