Chapter 110: Su Yun Jiao Doesn

~7 min read 1,260 words

The next day, the school's final exam results came out; the teacher notified the students to return to school to check their grades, and also assigned winter vacation homework.

Although it was winter break, once the next semester ended they would have to take the College Entrance Exam.

There were less than three months left until the College Entrance Exam.

During those three months, their winter break amounted to only twenty-odd days.

In those twenty-odd days, if they didn't review properly, their grades would plummet.

"Su Yun Jiao, 683."

The homeroom teacher announced Su Yun Jiao's total score, and the surrounding classmates were astonished.

No one expected Su Yun Jiao's grades to be even better than before.

Su Yun Jiao received her scores for the five subjects; math was indeed a bit weak, but fortunately the shortfall was small.

"Zhou Xian, 715 points."

When they heard Zhou Xian had scored over seven hundred, the whole class grew even more envious.

Zhou Xian's grades had always been the best in their class.

715 points—that's enough for direct recommendation!

Zhou Xian stood up to get his grade sheet.

The homeroom teacher gave Zhou Xian an approving look.

He almost always saw that kind of look after every exam.

Su Yun Jiao rested her chin on her hand.

As expected of Zhou Xian.

I recall that in his previous life, Zhou Xian went to a top-tier university.

I just don't know why Zhou Xian didn't choose to study abroad.

Zhou Xian returned to his seat.

The homeroom teacher picked up another grade sheet and said, "Zhou Tingting, 693 points."

"Holy crap! Zhou Tingting scored that high?"

"Zhou Tingting's grades have always been good; if it weren't for Lu Chi, she wouldn't have wasted time in Class One."

After Zhou Tingting received her grade sheet, she turned back and returned to her seat.

During this period, since her mind wasn't on Lu Chi, Zhou Tingting focused all her thoughts on studying.

Her grades also leapt forward.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but sigh.

Is this the strength of the Zhou family's genes?

Soon, the homeroom teacher picked up another grade sheet and said, "Lu Chi… 502."

When she heard 502, Su Yun Jiao's brows furrowed.

502?

When had Lu Chi ever scored 502?

"Holy crap! 502? Lu Ge, how are you so awesome!"

"Yeah, Lu Ge, you don't even attend class—how could you possibly score 502?"

The few lackeys beside him were dumbfounded.

Lu Chi stood up, expression unchanged, and took the grade sheet from the homeroom teacher's hand.

"Is it hard? Just do a few practice papers and you'll get it—the question types are basically the same."

Lu Chi leaned back in his chair.

He still had to thank Su Yun Jiao for being able to achieve this score.

Upon hearing Lu Chi's words, Su Yun Jiao's eyes rolled so hard they almost flew out of her head.

Fake pretender!

Lu Chi had originally said that line on purpose just for Su Yun Jiao to hear.

He just wanted Su Yun Jiao to know.

Without Su Yun Jiao, he could still do homework just as well, and even get good grades.

However, he was indeed putting on a bit of an act just now.

The reason he could achieve such a good score was that his grades had been too poor, so Lu Mu specially hired a tutor for him.

Still, this was also thanks to his own intelligence.

If he weren't that smart, it would have been impossible to raise his score by over two hundred points in just one month.

Lu Chi gazed at Su Yun Jiao sitting ahead and fell into contemplation.

The lackey beside him, oblivious to his mood, said, "Lu Ge, Su Yun Jiao was on TV yesterday—did you see the news?"

Upon hearing the lackey's words, Lu Chi's face instantly darkened.

Yesterday Lu Jingqing had summoned many media outlets, seemingly to do a live broadcast on the scene.

Early that morning, Lu Chi saw the news on his phone; the reports were all saying how this time a rich‑family romance novel had come to life.

Furious, he just tossed his phone aside.

He hadn't expected his own lackey to still be speaking without restraint right in front of him.

What he least wanted to hear right now was the news of Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing's engagement.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Lu Ge isn't happy—clearly Su Yun Jiao can't win him over, so she's settled for second best with that Lu Jingqing, who's just an illegitimate child; how could his status compare to Lu Ge's?"

The lackey's words, one after another, kept stepping on landmines.

Lu Chi's face grew ever darker.

Yesterday he had already spoken up saying he wanted to marry Su Yun Jiao, but Su Yun Jiao was unmoved.

All her thoughts are set on marrying Lu Jingqing.

What do you mean by settling for second best?

It's clearly that Su Yun Jiao doesn't like me.

"Where did all this talk come from?"

Lu Chi stood up directly and said coldly: "From now on, no one is to mention Su Yun Jiao in my presence."

After saying that, Lu Chi left directly.

His underlings still didn't know what had happened; for a moment they stared at each other, clueless.

Wasn't Lu Chi previously the one who loved hearing them speak ill of Su Yun Jiao the most?

How come he doesn't want to hear it now?

Lu Chi walked out of the class, his heart growing increasingly vexed.

His mind was filled with the words Su Yun Jiao spoke when she rejected him last night.

Lu Chi rubbed his forehead, not knowing what was wrong with himself.

At that moment, Qin Xue also walked out of the class.

When Qin Xue raised her head, she happened to see Lu Chi standing opposite.

But unlike before, this time Qin Xue ignored Lu Chi and turned away directly.

Seeing Qin Xue walk away as soon as she saw him, Lu Chi immediately called out: "Where are you going?"

"I just don't want you to misunderstand that I have other intentions toward you."

Qin Xue forced a smile and said: "I saw the news; please congratulate Su Yun Jiao for me."

After seeing the news last night, Qin Xue knew she still had a chance.

Because Su Yun Jiao's fiancé is not Lu Chi.

As long as it's not Lu Chi, I still have a chance.

"All going to congratulate her."

Lu Chi gave a cold laugh.

It seems that despite Su Yun Jiao's engagement, he is not optimistic.

Qin Xue pretended not to understand and asked: "You seem to really dislike them being together."

"...... No."

Lu Chi averted his gaze.

Qin Xue, as usual, walked up to Lu Chi and asked: "Are you unhappy? If you are, you can tell me."

What Lu Chi liked most before was Qin Xue's understanding nature.

Now seeing that Qin Xue no longer harbors any other thoughts toward him, he said: "What do you think—does Su Yun Jiao actually like me or not?"

One sentence.

It made Qin Xue's heart tighten.

As expected!

Lu Chi cares about Su Yun Jiao.

Otherwise he couldn't have asked this question.

Qin Xue could only force a smile and say: "Of course she likes him, but I think… it might not be romantic liking…"

Before Qin Xue could finish speaking, Lu Chi immediately retorted: "If she doesn't like him, why did I previously tell her to do something and she just did it?"
