Chapter 208: Class Transfer Exam

It was already the next day.

Because Lu Jingqing hadn't let her go over the night before, Su Yun Jiao came to school early in the morning to see what had happened that night.

After arriving at class, Su Yun Jiao saw Zhou Tingting sitting in her own seat with a worried, unhappy expression.

Su Yun Jiao still thought the negotiations the previous night had not gone well.

She even felt that Madam Zhou might agree to let her daughter marry Zheng Haoyuan just like that.

Thinking of this, Su Yun Jiao immediately stepped forward and asked, "How did things go last night? You're not really going to marry Zheng Haoyuan, are you?"

Zhou Tingting glanced at Su Yun Jiao, and her expression became even more aggrieved.

Su Yun Jiao's heart tightened.

Having seen Madam Zhou before, Su Yun Jiao had thought she was the type who especially doted on her own children.

She hadn't expected Madam Zhou to also be a refined egoist.

She would rather let her daughter marry a scoundrel like Zheng Haoyuan than fail to protect her family's interests.

Su Yun Jiao then said, "I won't allow you to marry Zheng Haoyuan; I'll go tell Madam Zhou clearly that Zheng Haoyuan is just a scoundrel."

Seeing Su Yun Jiao really taken in, Zhou Tingting rushed forward, grabbed her arm, and said, "I was just joking with you—why did you take it seriously?"

Hearing that, Su Yun Jiao froze.

"I deliberately made that expression to scare you," she said. "Last night my mother harshly humiliated the Zheng family and then called off this engagement, so I don't have to marry Zheng Haoyuan anymore."

Hearing Zhou Tingting say that, Su Yun Jiao let out a breath of relief.

She had still thought, had thought that Madam Zhou had really accepted the Zheng family's apology.

After all, if the Zheng family truly wanted their son to marry Zhou Tingting, they might have offered some benefits.

In this circle nowadays, as long as there's profit to be made, they make good partners—no one cares about the other's character.

But Madam Zhou doesn't seem to be that kind of person.

Madam Zhou had no intention of letting her daughter marry a scoundrel like Zheng Haoyuan.

"You really scared me just now."

Su Yun Jiao said, "I still thought you were really going to marry someone like Zheng Haoyuan."

"How could that be? I despise people like Zheng Haoyuan the most—I would never marry him, even if I were beaten to death."

Hearing Zhou Tingting say that, Su Yun Jiao suddenly thought of Zhou Tingting's fate in her previous life.

Because the Zhou family had betrothed Zhou Tingting to Zheng Haoyuan.

After the marriage, Zheng Haoyuan abused Zhou Tingting violently, nearly beating her to death.

Furthermore, he cut off all contact between Zhou Tingting and the Zhou family.

If it weren't for Zhou Xian noticing something wrong, perhaps Zhou Tingting would have died at Zheng Haoyuan's hands.

Every time she thought of this, Su Yun Jiao felt the urge to strangle Zheng Haoyuan.

"When I came home last night, my mother said she would find me other suitable matches in the future and also plans to respect my wishes—I can choose not to marry if I don't like the person."

After all, the Zhou family already possesses vast wealth.

Even if Zhou Tingting doesn't marry, her life will still be very good going forward.

Moreover, Zhou Xian has already begun handling the family affairs; as long as Zhou Xian is around, Zhou Tingting will suffer no injustice.

Zhou Xian glanced at his sister, a doting smile appearing on his face without him realizing it; he didn't know when it started, but Zhou Tingting had already come to regard Su Yun Jiao as her best friend.

Zhou Tingting said, "But you didn't show up last night—I thought you would sneak a look at our conversation."

"I had wanted to go, but I was called back."

Lu Jingqing had Secretary Li wait for her at the school gate ahead of time, probably fearing she would get involved and cause trouble.

Hearing Su Yun Jiao say that, Zhou Tingting understood: it was Lu Jingqing who didn't let Su Yun Jiao get involved—no wonder she wasn't there last night.

"Your Brother Jingqing is really good to you; if it weren't for Lu Jingqing this time, I think I would really have gotten engaged to that scoundrel Zheng Haoyuan."

At this point, Zhou Tingting couldn't help but say, "Do you think I should give Lu Jingqing a gift to thank him for helping me this time?"

Zhou Tingting admitted that she used to think Lu Jingqing's voice was a bit loud, never expecting him to be so reliable when things actually went wrong.

Seeing Zhou Tingting's opinion of Lu Jingqing improve,

Su Yun Jiao said, "No need to give a gift; just stop speaking ill of Brother Jingqing from now on."

"You're really protective of your young—just engaged, and you already favor Brother Jingqing this much?"

Su Yun Jiao herself didn't know what had come over her.

Without realizing it, she had already begun speaking up for Lu Jingqing.

It seemed she had come to regard Lu Jingqing as the most important person.

She had never felt this way before.

Zhou Xian looked at Su Yun Jiao's slightly flushed face, and his gaze involuntarily shifted away.

"Class is about to start, Zhou Tingting—go back to your seat."

"It's just us chatting; you're being too strict, Brother."

Zhou Tingting pursed her lips, but still returned to her seat.

"Jiaojiao, this month's monthly exam determines the class reassignment—study hard, everyone is aiming for Class One."

Hearing Zhou Xian say that, Su Yun Jiao then remembered that this month's monthly exam decides the class reassignment.

In her previous life, she had stayed in Class Six all along because of Lu Chi.

Zhou Tingting also remained in Class Six because of Lu Chi.

As for Zhou Xian, he stayed behind because of Zhou Tingting.

But now there's no longer any need for them to stay.

So this time they can only strive with all their might to get into Class One.

Zhou Xian was afraid of putting pressure on Su Yun Jiao, so he said to Su Yun Jiao: "You don't need to worry; I've seen your previous exam scores, going to Yi Ban is not a problem."

Yi Ban has only twenty-five students in total, meaning the top twenty-five of the whole grade can enter Yi Ban.

Now it's senior year, and the pressure on all students has increased.

Also, many promising students are exerting effort at this time.

Su Yun Jiao's previous scores have always been around top ten of the grade; after Lu Jingqing's tutoring, her scores have improved, so she is not very worried about not getting into Yi Ban.

As for Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian, there's no need to say more.

Zhou Xian is firmly the top of the grade.

Zhou Tingting probably also did a lot of tutoring over the winter break; getting into Yi Ban is no problem.

Su Yun Jiao said: "Monitor, rest assured; we will definitely still be in the same class."

Zhou Tingting said: "That's natural; the three of us have the best grades in the class."

At that moment, Lu Chi walked in from outside the classroom.

Zhou Tingting's earlier remark was not accurate; Lu Chi's current grades are also among the top in the grade.
