Chapter 89: Returning to Class

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Gu Xiao heard Jiang He’s words, she stood up and looked at Jiang He and Ji Yao in disbelief.

“Mom, Ji Yao was the one who brought up the matter of this bet to me back then, and…”

“Enough! I don’t want to hear you say this!” Jiang He interrupted Gu Xiao impatiently. She looked at Gu Xiao with uncontrollable disgust in her eyes. “Yaoyao only proposed that bet back then because she wanted you to improve. It’s fine if you don’t thank Yaoyao, but you actually dare to force her to leave?”

When Ji Yao met Gu Xiao’s gaze, her eyes were filled with smugness.

However, when she noticed Jiang He’s gaze, her expression immediately changed.

She said considerately to Jiang He, “Mom, if Xiaoxiao is really unwilling, then I’ll go back to my previous class! I don’t want to see you and Xiaoxiao get into a conflict.”

Jiang He glanced at Gu Xiao and snorted in her heart.

“I don’t have any conflict with her. Yaoyao, just stay in this class. Leave the rest to Mom.”

When Ji Yao heard Jiang He’s words, she immediately revealed a gentle smile. “Thank you, Mom!”

Jiang He patted Ji Yao’s hand comfortingly. After confirming with the principal, the teacher let Ji Yao return to class.

“Then I’ll leave first. Stay in school obediently.”

Jiang He instructed Ji Yao again before turning to leave. As for Gu Xiao, she did not take her seriously at all.

Gu Xiao looked at Jiang He’s departing figure in a daze and then at Ji Yao, who had already returned to her seat. She sat down dejectedly.

Chu An held Gu Xiao’s hand. “Don’t be sad. Others don’t care about you, but I will always care about you.”

When Wang Ming, who was sitting in front of Gu Xiao, heard Chu An’s words, he didn’t care that his teacher was still up there. He turned to Gu Xiao and said, “That’s right! Gu Xiao, you don’t have to be too sad. Our Chu An really cares about you! You still…”

Under Chu An’s threatening gaze, Wang Ming swallowed his words and stiffly turned around.

When Gu Xiao saw this scene, she secretly raised an eyebrow at Chu An without anyone noticing. Did Wang Ming know something about her and Chu An that she didn’t know about?

She was curious about this.

But Chu An only blinked at Gu Xiao and had no intention of answering her questions.

When Gu Xiao saw this, her head was still lowered, but she didn’t force Chu An to tell her what had happened.

When the students saw Gu Xiao’s reaction and Jiang He and Ji Yao’s attitude just now, they could not help but sympathize with Gu Xiao.

“Looks like the Ji family really doesn’t care about Gu Xiao! It’s already like this, but they’re still biased towards Ji Yao.”

“Ji Yao really has the cheek to say that. Everyone in the class knows that Ji Yao proposed the bet because she saw that Gu Xiao had just arrived and couldn’t keep up with her studies! At that time, Ji Yao said that Gu Xiao would drop out of school if she lost! I think Gu Xiao is already benevolent enough to Ji Yao. She just wanted her to change classes!”

“That’s right. I just didn’t expect Mrs. Jiang to believe Ji Yao’s nonsense.”

“I really feel that Gu Xiao is so miserable! No one is more miserable than Gu Xiao. Look at Mrs. Jiang’s attitude towards Gu Xiao just now. She doesn’t seem to be treating her daughter at all. Instead, she looks like she is treating an enemy.”

“Sigh! This Madam Jiang is really crazy. She doesn’t love her own daughter, but she actually protects the child of a human trafficker.”

The discussions in the class were very dispersed, but there were too many people discussing. For a moment, the atmosphere in the class was a little chaotic.

Even if it was just a few words, Ji Yao could roughly guess what these people were talking about.

At the thought of what these people were saying behind her back, Ji Yao clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug into her palms, but she did not seem to feel any pain.

From the corner of her eye, she looked at Gu Xiao, who had her head lowered. The look in her eyes was as if it was tainted with poison, making one’s back turn cold.

The teacher on the podium looked at the scene in front of her with a headache. However, since the principal had already spoken, she could not refuse Ji Yao’s return.

“Alright, quiet down.. Let’s continue with the class!”
