54 Roping In

Director Zou nodded in understanding and asked them to go back to class first. She would announce the results later.

After returning to the classroom, Fang Han did not dare to make a sound. She no longer had the aura she had before. Like an ostrich, she wished she could stuff her head into the hole in the table and was ashamed to face anyone.

Thinking of her aggressive appearance previously, she felt her face hurt.

Geng Hui was getting more and more satisfied with Shi Man. Not only was she the most outstanding student he had ever taught in his teaching career, but he also saw the calmness in her confrontation with someone just now.

Such a student was definitely not the stupid idiot in the rumors. He firmly believed that Shi Man’s strength was far beyond this. There would definitely be a wider platform for her in the future.

Su Tang congratulated her quietly from her seat and even offered to help her take notes and highlight the key points in the future.

Shi Man could not be bothered to do this. Since Su Tang took the initiative to take over, she did not refuse.

The students of Class F had already started class normally, but Class S was in chaos. Song Zhi was still crying at the table, and Hu Jing had assigned a lot of homework with a dark expression.

In the office, Shi Jing cast aside her pride. She knelt on the ground and begged with tears in her eyes, “Director Zou, don’t expel me. I was just possessed for a moment. I just want to obtain the Shi family’s approval.”

She cried until she was out of breath and her words were incoherent. “You, you probably don’t know yet, right? I’m just a distant relative of the Shi family. I’m just living under someone else’s roof in the Shi family. Shi Man has always been domineering and bullied me with all kinds of excuses. Her brothers don’t care about me either. I just think that if I can shock the world and improve a little, I can at least be a person in the Shi family openly and not live like a dog every day!”

“Director Zou, I beg you. Don’t expel me, or my life will be ruined! I’ll definitely study hard in the future and turn over a new leaf. Please give me a chance!”

She cried pitifully, and Director Zou could not help but feel a little soft-hearted. In the end, although Shi Jing had violated the examination rules this time, fortunately, there were no serious consequences. After all, it was just a simple monthly examination. She just had to recalibrate her results.

She thought for a moment and chose to reach out to help the child up from the ground. She handed her a tissue and couldn’t help but sigh. “I will not expel you, but I’ll have to give you a serious demerit. In addition, you have to write a 10,000-word reflection letter to me. If you make another mistake within a year, I won’t be able to protect you. At that time, you have to leave the school.”

“I understand. Thank you, Director Zou!” Shi Jing bowed to her gratefully and walked out of the office while wiping her tears.

She was too ashamed to return to class now. She could only sit alone in the corner of the field to kill time. The rankings had been amended and she was now in last place in the entire cohort.

Looking at Shi Man, who was ranked third, Shi Jing secretly clenched her fists. Her face was filled with hatred. She had been careless this time and accidentally walked into that b*tch’s trap. Shi Man would never be so lucky next time!

During the lunch break, Shi Jing was about to call the teacher for sick leave and go home to rest when the sunlight in front of her was suddenly blocked by a figure.

“Why are you here?” Shi Jing looked up and saw an unfriendly girl looking at her coldly with deep calculation in her eyes.

“I want to work with you.” The girl looked around and gestured for her to walk into the forest behind her. Then she turned around and said with sympathy, “I know you want to take down Shi Man. Coincidentally, I do too, so let’s work together.”

“Why should I believe you?” Shi Jing looked at the other party warily. Her experience just now was probably going to spread throughout the school. She really did not expect anyone to be willing to make a request for cooperation at this time.

“I believe you know who I am, right? Therefore, you should know that I hate Shi Man as much as you do. I hate her so much that I can’t wait for her to disappear in front of me immediately. This is the reason why I chose to cooperate with you. This is also helping you, right?” Fang Han raised her eyebrows and looked at her with determination. She had never thought that Shi Jing would refuse.

Shi Jing did not intend to refuse. She did not know why Shi Man had suddenly become so difficult to deal with. In the past, she would have chased Shi Man out of Cassel Academy long ago and would not have ended up like this!

“I can promise you.” Shi Jing nodded. The two of them plotted in the forest for a long time until the bell rang in the afternoon. Then, they returned to the classroom.

After school, Shi Mu was the first to rush to the class door to pick up his precious sister. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “Manman, I just told the family what happened in the morning. They heard that you got third place in the cohort and said that they wanted to hold a celebratory feast for you!”

“Yes.” Shi Man was not interested in these banquets. What she cared about was, “Are there king crabs and lobsters?”

“Of course!” Shi Mu held his sister’s soft hand happily and smiled. “I could tell that you liked it last time. When I head back, I’ll get someone to send another batch over. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied!”
