Chapter 597: Don’t You Want To Come First In The College Entrance Exam?

“...whatever it is, the Lu family has nothing to do with you, so don’t feel pressured about doing anything on my account,” said the old lady.

Huo Yao nodded as she gazed out the window profoundly. No one could tell what was on her mind.

After talking for a few more minutes, Huo Yao told her grandmother to hang up and go home quickly.

Her face was starting to turn pale after sitting out in the wind for so long.

After putting the phone away, Huo Xiang turned his head sideways and said, “I heard Grandma saying that your foster mother wants to make up with you.”

Since Huo Yao used hands-free mode, he had heard their entire conversation.

Huo Yao leaned into the car seat lazily but her eyes were cold. “I don’t know what they want.”

Huo Xiang had never taken notice of the Lu family. However, he was taken aback by Lu Hongwen and He Xiaoman’s arrogance when they came knocking on their door after learning that Lu Xia and Huo Yao were swapped at birth.

He thought for a moment before he said, “Just ignore them if they reach out to you. If they say anything nasty, just tell me and I will seek revenge for you.”

Despite being called a little princess, he was not soft when it came to matters surrounding his baby sister.

Huo Yao looked at him and acknowledged him patronizingly.

By the time they got back home, it was already past 8:00 pm. Since it was school the next day, Huo Yao quickly washed up and went to bed.

The next day at school.

The Head of Math had given Huo Yao two questions to solve last week. He had told her to hand them in on Friday, but since she got called to the teachers’ room by her homeroom teacher, she decided to bring the questions along with to give them to the Head of Math.

The Head of Math did not look at the solutions right away when Huo Yao handed him the piece of paper containing her work.

Instead, he looked at her in disbelief. “Did you manage to solve this over the weekend?”

Huo Yao nodded humbly and decided not to tell him that she did not spend much time solving them and finished them in her free time.

A complicated feeling arose in the Head of Math’s heart. He had given Wei Mingzhe the questions so that Yi Lianfan from his class could give them a shot, but he did not hear about Yi Lianfan having any success.

He lowered his head and started to look at her work.

Since he was engrossed, Huo Yao said nothing. Huo Yao’s homeroom teacher was standing beside them. She was not good at math, so she did not ask much about it either. Instead, she called Huo Yao to her desk.

Chen Yu retrieved a few books from her drawer and handed them to Huo Yao. “I picked out these extracurricular readings to target your weaknesses. I think they can help improve your reading and writing skills vastly. Please find time to study them.”

Huo Yao looked at the Chinese classical books that Chen Yu had picked out for her and felt a headache coming on. She said without taking the books, “I think my reading and writing skills are fine.”

Chen Yu felt upset when she heard this. “Every single exam, you get full marks for all the other subjects and barely pass mine. Have you ever considered my feelings?”

Huo Yao coughed awkwardly.

“There are still over 200 days until the college entrance exam. You need to work hard and revise. Don’t you want to come first in the exam?” Chen Yu tempted her.

The Principal had spoken to her several times about Huo Yao’s weaknesses and told her to help improve Huo Yao’s grades in those areas. Based on her incredible grades in her other subjects, she had the potential to become the top student when she took the college entrance exam.

But...

She could not be held back by her language grades!

The Principal’s words kept reverberating in her ears until she almost went crazy. It felt as though it was not Huo Yao’s language skills that were holding her back, but her language teacher who was failing her.
