Chapter 118: Chapter 118: After Raising a Child and Becoming Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled 38 Tis
At this mont, the girl suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly looked towards the class teacher.
Su Caixia’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, holding the report card with a face that turned from green to white, looking as if she had suffered a trendous blow.
“Yes, Su Zhiruan, I truly didn’t expect that you would be the city’s top scorer! This has really brought honor to our Jinghua No. 1 High School!” The principal was beaming with joy, and even the school leaders wore expressions full of springti warmth. When he saw Su Caixia’s face, dark as the bottom of a pot, he asked with concern, “Why are you stunned, Su? Were you shocked silly by this surprise?!”
Su Zhiruan was the city’s top scorer!
It was her!!
The entire audience was dumbstruck, with almost no one expecting it to be Su Zhiruan.
...
Su Caixia stood frozen on the spot, while the boy who had just been mocking Su Zhiruan now awkwardly hid to one side.
All eyes in the room were focused on Su Caixia.
The class teacher, who had been standing behind the principal in shock, finally stepped forward and cleared his throat, “Principal, Su Zhiruan is that one over there.”
Only then did the principal realize he had mistaken soone else and quickly looked over.
The class teacher’s heart was filled with a storm of emotions; he could never have dread that Su Zhiruan, who hadn’t even attended primary school and had rely had her na on the roster in their class, would beco the city’s top scorer.
The level of shock was akin to fish learning to ride bicycles and birds learning to use sewing machines.
The class teacher’s emotions were complex.
The good news was that the city’s number one ca from their class.
The bad news was that this person was Su Zhiruan, who wasn’t really his student.
Su Caixia almost fell to the ground, but by now, no one was there to hold her up.
Others might not dare to fill in Jinghua University as their top college choice, but Su Zhiruan’s preference for university entrance was all too clear to her.
There weren’t many enrollnt slots at Jinghua University for the entire province this year; after doing the math, there was only one spot for the whole city. If that person were Su Zhiruan, it ant she had failed to get in!
It was a piece of news Su Caixia found difficult to accept for the mont.
The whole school was dumbfounded; they were no longer concerned with how many points they had scored, entirely questioning themselves instead.
“I never imagined I had fallen so far behind, have I? Su Zhiruan never attended school from a young age, yet she managed to score top in the city and is even going to Jinghua University!”
“Then what was the point of us tirelessly studying for three years?!”
The whole school was about to explode.
And the one who was completely stupefied was none other than Su Caixia.
The teacher responsible for checking the college entrance examination scores was buzzing in her head at this mont, rembering how she had scolded Su Zhiruan earlier and tried to please Su Caixia.
She wished there was a hole in the ground she could dive into right then.
In contrast to everyone else’s varied reactions, Su Zhiruan was comparatively calm. She walked over to Su Caixia and crouched down, helping her up, then pulled the report card from her hands, laughing, “Sister, although it’s July, you really shouldn’t sit on the ground.”
“It seems your dream of attending Jinghua University might be shattered. This first place is mine.” Su Zhiruan smiled as she stood up, looking at the report card in her hand.
Her scores could have been even higher, but for subjects like history and politics that required morization, she easily confused them with knowledge from her past life, which brought her scores down. As for subjects like physics, she scored full marks.
“Su, I would’ve never guessed that our Jinghua No. 1 High School harbored a hidden dragon like you. We should make a plaque with your score on it to inspire the juniors and juniors!” The principal kept talking, but now, these complints were directed towards Su Zhiruan.
Su Caixia always cared a lot about face and could never have dread that after all the careful planning and even resorting to so illegal thods to get into Jinghua University, in the end, things still turned out this way!
It still turned out this way, with Su Zhiruan stealing all the lilight.
She couldn’t accept it!
She couldn’t accept it!!
She must figure out a way to completely deal with Su Zhiruan, she would not let Su Zhiruan continue to live carefree!
At this mont, Su Caixia slowly stood up, her eyes brimming with hatred.
Su Zhiruan knew the score.
She didn’t even need to watch, Su Caixia had always despised her, and now, it was possible that the part where Su Caixia hard her in the original plot might happen sooner.
It seed she still had to prepare herself.
*
The period after Su Zhiruan returned with her report card was anything but peaceful.
The main reason was that after the neighbors found out she was the city’s top scorer, they all ca bearing gifts, so even giving her money outright, hoping that Su Zhiruan could help tutor their children.
After all, they were neighbors, and they had helped her when Su Zhiruan moved houses a few days ago, so it wouldn’t be right for her to ignore them.
In this era, tutoring was not prohibited, so she found a place and taught the kids so things.
When the neighbors asked their children, they found that what Su Zhiruan taught was even simpler than what the school teachers explained. Coupled with her good looks and friendly deanor, she quickly beca the acknowledged favorite far and wide.
Walking down the street, everyone had sothing good to say about her.
Eventually, whenever Su Zhiruan went out, she hadn’t taken many steps before receiving a heap of gifts.
During this ti, she also noticed that Li ihua had been acting a little strange lately.
A coy smile sotis appeared on her face.
Su Zhiruan had no idea and was almost startled upon asking.
“Since when did it start?” She was so surprised after hearing it that she almost couldn’t hold her teacup steady.
Li ihua was sowhat embarrassed; after all, her daughter was already so big, and she still…
“It was… before,” Li ihua thought for a while and then recounted the story to Su Zhiruan, “so ti ago, I was about to have my wallet stolen by a pickpocket on the street. He caught the pickpocket and brought them to the police station, and one thing led to another, I got to know him. Eventually, we realized that we’d t as children, but after we each got married, we lost contact.”
Su Zhiruan had not expected it to be a tale of childhood sweethearts reunited after a long separation.
Though it was sowhat unexpected, looking at Li ihua’s expression now, it was a bit like she was addicted to ‘love-brain’.
The very next day, Su Zhiruan t this man.
Rough around the edges, tall and burly, with dark skin, but his features showed he was a decent person.
After probing him a bit, she felt that the man was trustworthy and that it was good for her mother to have soone to rely on.
She would definitely go to Jinghua University in less than a month, and if finances allowed, she wanted to take Zhishu and Zhixiao with her.
Li ihua was soft by nature. If she were bullied, she would probably just suffer in silence and not tell her about it. Without Su Zhiruan there, Li ihua would be without a pillar and would surely beco anxious. If there was a man she could rely on now, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
After all, life is short; being happy is what counts.
Soon, the ti when the original protagonist was frad in the story was about to co.
That evening.
