Chapter 54: Accidentally Outscored Even Your Class Rank One (Bonus Chapter)

Chapter 54: Accidentally Surpassing Your Class's Top Student (Additional Update)

The director lifted his eyes and looked kindly at the group of students. “Meng Jinyang, Shen Huan, today’s incident was the teachers’ fault. We shouldn’t have suspected you of cheating. I hope this won’t affect you and that you’ll achieve even better results in the future.”

At that moment, the meeting room door was pushed open again.

Lu Yang strode in, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Apologies? What’s the point? Why even bother calling the police? This is amusing. So, the top spot in the grade can only belong to Class One? If you’re not in Class One, you just shamelessly accuse others of cheating?”

Luo Songhua’s aging face flushed red instantly as she glared at Lu Yang.

Chuyang and Little Fat, trailing behind, struggled to keep from laughing.

The director was left speechless by Lu Yang’s words.

Suddenly, Lu Yang’s expression shifted into one of feigned realization. “Teacher Luo, I heard from other teachers that Meng Jinyang originally wanted to join Class One, but you seemed to reject him because of his poor grades. How about that—feeling a bit embarrassed now?”

Luo Songhua’s chest heaved violently, and flames seemed to blaze in her eyes as she stared daggers at Lu Yang.

Gu Mang stood with her hands in her pockets, tilting her head lazily, the corner of her mouth curling into a faint, mischievous smile.

Xi Yan looked toward Luo Songhua and said, “Teacher Luo, the director has already apologized. What about you?”

“Exactly, Teacher Luo. Didn’t someone say if anyone surpassed the last place in their class, they would apologize to Gu Mang? I think that was you,” Lu Yang smirked. “Sorry about this—I accidentally surpassed even your class’s top student.”

“Lu Yang!” Luo Songhua snapped, unable to contain herself any longer. She stood abruptly, slamming the table. “Shut up!”

Lu Yang chuckled, raising his voice even louder. “You owe me an apology!”

If it weren’t for Chuyang’s girlfriend being in the tenth grade and having caught wind of some rumors, they wouldn’t have known that this old hag was still trying to slander Class Twenty!

Luo Songhua breathed heavily, gripping the edge of the conference table tightly.

“Mister Luo,” Meng Jinyang suddenly spoke up quietly and gently. The girl’s clear eyes met Luo Songhua’s as she enunciated each word with precision, “The rumors started in Class One. They were nasty and even tarnished Gu Mang’s reputation as a girl. I don’t believe you were unaware. This wager was your idea, and now that our Class Twenty has won, I hope you can accept the result.”

There was unwavering determination in the girl’s gaze, as if for the first time she wanted to protect someone. She clenched her fists, like a fledgling eagle ready to soar.

Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and flickered a shallow smile in her eyes.

It seemed sending her to this school was the right choice—now she even knew how to slap some faces.

Luo Songhua glared at them, gritted her teeth, and stiffly said, “Gu Mang, I’m sorry.”

After saying that, she tightened her expression and strode out of the meeting room.

Passing by Gu Mang and her group, she shot them a sharp glare.

Lu Yang snorted lightly and rolled his eyes. “She’s gone. Let’s eat.”

Outside the meeting room.

Gu Mang and Lu Yang both hooked their arms around Xi Yan’s shoulders. Lu Yang whispered, “Xiao Xi, thank you. We must have taken a lot of flak while we weren’t around.”

Xi Yan’s Class Twenty had endured many cold stares and sarcastic remarks.

They used to swallow their pride silently and gradually got used to it.

Hearing Gu Mang say this suddenly, her eyes reddened in an instant, but she replied irritably, “Then don’t score zero on chemistry next time. Pay attention in class and do your homework properly.”

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows and responded cheerfully, “Alright.”
