Chapter 56: Critically Ill Again
“Watch your tongue,” Gu Mang said in a low voice. Her words were soft and slow.
Gu Yin’s mind immediately went back to when Gu Mang was five and had beaten a grown man up till he was bloody and half-paralyzed. A chill went up her body.
With that said, Gu Mang walked away leisurely. Her slim figure had a chilling aura.
After a few seconds, Meng Jinyang, Lu Yang, and the rest caught up to Gu Mang with milk tea in their hands.
Gu Yin’s pupils widened as she watched Meng Jinyang.
...
In the afternoon before classes started, all the subject representatives brought the exam papers from the teachers back to the classroom and distributed them to the class.
Xi Yan held the consolidated results slip of the cohort. She raised her eyebrows and exhaled. “This time, our Meng Jinyang is the top student of the cohort. Well done! Also, Shen Huan ranked 157th! Our class’s average score is now fourth from the bottom of the cohort so we’re no longer in last place!”
The results stirred the hearts of the students. Instantly, a deafening roar erupted from Class Twenty and everyone slapped their tables enthusiastically.
They had won!
Their “wall of honor” would not be empty for the parent-teacher meeting this time!
Because they were too noisy, the door of Class Nineteen slammed shut once more.
Xi Yan continued, “I hope that everyone continues to work hard and strives to do even better!”
Every single student in Class Twenty said in unison, “Yes!”
Their voices could be heard throughout the entire Year Three building. Their fervor surged to the skies. On the other hand, Class One was deathly quiet and Luo Songhua’s face was dark and long.
After the papers were given back to the students, Xi Yan walked to Gu Mang’s desk and took up her answer sheet.
When she saw that Gu Mang had answered every question, but had still scored a big fat zero, her lips twitched.
The English test had multiple-choice questions that were worth a total of 150 marks. How did she avoid all the right answers perfectly? Lu Yang gasped in astonishment as well. She had written so much, but she might as well have skipped the questions like he had done.
The boss was indeed the boss. By her own power she had increased his rank by one position from his last exam.
Xi Yan handed the paper back to her expressionlessly and said mildly, “You promised that you wouldn’t get a zero on your next test.”
Gu Si raised her eyes and uttered a noise of assent nonchalantly with wickedness in her glance. Her aura was wild.
In the afternoon, each teacher looked over at Gu Mang with a complicated expression in their gazes as they explained the questions on the exam. Gu Mang, surprisingly, seemed to be paying attention in class.
They wanted to criticize her, but did not know how they could do it.
A class meeting was held during the last period.
“There will be a break this weekend and the parent-teacher meeting will be held on Saturday morning. Remember to inform your parents beforehand,” said Xi Yan.
“No problem.”
They agreed readily and did not voice their discontent like before. They could show off their results this time. A gratified Xi Yan smiled and nodded.
...
Gu Mang was self studying at night when an urgent vibration from her phone shook her pocket.
She took out her phone and looked at it. Lu Shangjin was calling. At such a late hour? She walked to the washroom with her phone in her hand.
The phone had already stopped vibrating before she reached the washroom, but it rang again soon after.
Gu Mang answered it. “What is it?”
“Gu Mang, Uncle wants to request something of you. Can you go to the capital? The old grandmother is critically ill again,” Lu Shangjin said gravely.
Upon heating this, Gu Mang frowned. Her gaze sank when she thought of something. “Did they follow my perscription?” she asked icily.
