Chapter 120: Shi Xuetong Transfers Classes

Page 1/3

Since Gu Ci’s grades were so excellent, why had she previously been scoring zero? If that hadn’t been the case, would she have thought of herself as an incapable disappointment and immediately been adopted out to the second branch of the family?

Recalling the humiliating moment when Su Wan had just slapped her face with the truth, Chu Shixian hardly knew how she had left the Gu residence and returned to the car. The irritation creasing her brow deepened once again.

She instructed Gu Ziran, “Forget about last week’s quiz, but you must not let her surpass you in this week’s or any future exams.”

Gu Ziran lowered her eyes obediently and nodded. During this week’s quiz, Chu Shixian had specifically arranged for someone to keep an eye on Gu Ci, who had gone straight home in the evening and had not taken the test at all.

As for the future, it was likely that Gu Ci would no longer have one...

After receiving Gu Ziran’s assurance, Chu Shixian’s expression softened with relief.

She patted Gu Ziran’s shoulder. “That’s my good girl. You are the daughter I raised myself; you must be the best.”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t let you down.”

Seeing this, Chu Shixian smiled with satisfaction. “You must be hungry. I asked Sister Wang to prepare your favorite food, so you can eat it as soon as we get home.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

Gu Ziran whispered as she opened Weibo again. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon one of the hottest topics at No. 1 High School.

A flicker of cunning light passed through her eyes. She looked up, furrowing her brow and hesitating as she glanced at Chu Shixian.

Chu Shixian asked, “What’s wrong?”

Biting her lip, Gu Ziran said, “Mom, someone is accusing Sister of cheating on the last exam... Sister shouldn’t be that kind of person, right? Although her previous grades weren’t good, it’s not right to say that about her...”

Gu Ziran raised her hand and showed Chu Shixian the information on Weibo.

“What’s this about?” Chu Shixian’s eyes moved as she saw a new topic within the super-discussion at No. 1 High School.

It was a student claiming to be from Class 12 who exposed that Gu Ci had cheated on last week’s quiz.

The student even revealed that the entire Class 12 was helping Gu Ci cheat.

Staring at the super-discussion, Chu Shixian didn’t know which emotion dominated her more.

But subconsciously, she hoped... that everything this Weibo user claimed was true.

Scrolling down beneath the topic, Chu Shixian found an audio recording. When she played it, voices could be heard.

Hearing someone openly talk about stealing exam papers, Gu Ziran seemed surprised and covered her mouth, hesitantly saying, “This... really sounds like some students from Class 12 in our school...”

“I knew it. How could her grades suddenly be so good? Turns out it was through such despicable means. Shameless.”

Chu Shixian said this with a relaxed smile.

It seemed that only if Gu Ci’s performance was worse and Gu Ziran’s was better could her decision be proven right...

...

The next day, the news about a Class 12 student exposing Gu Ci’s cheating had quietly spread throughout the entire school.

Shi Xuetong lowered her head and shrank as she entered Class 12, instantly drawing all eyes upon her.

She curled up and walked to her seat, silently beginning to pack her things.

Everyone knew the whistleblower was Shi Xuetong, as she hadn’t even bothered to remain anonymous and had already requested a transfer from the school.

Huo Shuyue’s gaze had been fixed on her ever since.

Seeing her silent demeanor, Huo Shuyue could no longer hold back and slammed the desk, standing up. “Shi Xuetong, don’t you have anything to say?”

The whole class was watching Shi Xuetong, awaiting her explanation.

They didn’t believe she was completely unaware that they had only been joking verbally that day.

Yet unexpectedly, Shi Xuetong, for reasons unknown, had already recorded their joke as evidence to support her transfer request and refusal to be part of their clique.

Shi Xuetong’s hand froze, her face pale, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Fearful and aggrieved, she sobbed, “Shuyue, why are you blaming me? It was you all who made decisions without considering my feelings... I really had no choice... For you, it might have been just a bet; even if you left No. 1 High, you could still live well. But for me, it’s different. I’m just an ordinary person. I still need to study hard to get into a good university...”

“Besides, I didn’t fabricate the part about you helping Gu Ci cheat that day—I really saw it... I’ve been scared and anxious these past few days because of my conscience. I really don’t want to be associated with you anymore. What’s wrong with that?”

Since learning from Weibo about the outrageous claim made by Class 12, Shi Xuetong’s heart had been in turmoil.

She thought Class 12 was utterly insane!

With their grades, how could 60% of them possibly rank in the top 100 in the next monthly exam?

Even if Jin Jiejiao lost her position as the dean, she was still a teacher at No. 1 High. Even if Gu Ci was expelled, didn’t she have a wealthy and influential uncle backing her?

But Shi Xuetong was different; she only had No. 1 High. If she were expelled because of them, her life would be over. Why couldn’t they show her a little understanding?

Moreover, she had heard their talk about stealing exam papers wasn’t false. Why didn’t Huo Shuyue and the others reflect on their own mistakes instead of blaming her?

Did she do wrong by not wanting to stay in a class with people like them?

As Shi Xuetong finished speaking, a few girls from Class 11 arrived, sent by a teacher to help her move her things.

They felt sorry for Shi Xuetong and thought Class 12 was being unfair.

She had only exposed Class 12’s cheating with Gu Ci and didn’t want to stay there anymore, yet they questioned her so harshly.

Furthermore, what Shi Xuetong said wasn’t wrong. For the privileged children in Class 12, even if they left No. 1 High or never went to university, they would have no shortage of food or clothing their entire lives.

But they still had to get into a good university to have a chance at better jobs.

The students in Class 11 fully understood Shi Xuetong and believed there was nothing wrong with her actions.

They had never considered that some students in their own class performed worse than those in Class 12 yet still chose to stay in Class 11 rather than Class 12...
