Chapter 219: Qin Xue's Grades Have Plummeted

By the time Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian finished their exams and came back, the first period had already ended; they are now in the stage of sprinting for the College Entrance Exam, and each class is nothing but doing practice questions.

After Zhou Tingting came back, she deliberately sat next to Su Yun Jiao.

"Isn't this the class monitor's seat?"

"My brother said we're about to switch classes, so it doesn't matter who sits here."

Zhou Tingting felt embarrassed to mention her plan to change seats, so she could only say this to Su Yun Jiao.

Although Su Yun Jiao felt a bit strange inside, she didn't press Zhou Xian further.

After all, Zhou Xian had been avoiding her since a few days ago, seemingly afraid that getting too close would cause Lu Jingqing to misunderstand.

Su Yun Jiao knew what Zhou Xian was thinking, so she didn't take it to heart.

After class ended, Su Yun Jiao then said to Zhou Tingting, "Regarding Zheng Haoyuan, what did your family tell you about him?"

Whenever Zheng Haoyuan was mentioned, Zhou Tingting felt a surge of anger; she never liked him to begin with, and if it weren't for her mother previously arranging her engagement to him, she would have absolutely nothing to do with him.

Thus Zhou Tingting said, "My parents haven't said anything to me, but my brother said the family has already started pressuring the Zheng family—Zheng Haoyuan has no chance of getting out of prison this time; not locking him up for three to five years would be unsatisfying."

Upon hearing Zhou Tingting say that, Su Yun Jiao nodded.

Looks like it's pretty much what Lu Jingqing and I said.

Anyway, Zheng Haoyuan has no hope of getting out of prison this time.

"By the way, the Class Exchange Exam—do you want to know what rank you got?"

"What rank?"

"When I just finished the exam, I specially went to the homeroom teacher's desk to look, and found you placed third in the grade. Even counting me and my brother, you're already fifth in the grade!"

Su Yun Jiao had already expected she would do well this time, but she didn't anticipate doing this well—Zhou Xian is surely first in the grade, Zhou Tingting is also around top five, which means she herself placed fifth in the grade.

With this score she can already get into a very good university.

At that moment, Zhou Tingting suddenly leaned close to Su Yun Jiao's ear and whispered, "Do you want to know what rank Lu Chi achieved this time?"

"What rank?"

"Seventh."

Upon hearing that Lu Chi actually placed seventh in the grade,

Su Yun Jiao was still a little surprised.

Because before senior three, Lu Chi basically never studied properly; it's estimated he only managed this score thanks to the cram class during senior three's final push, yet even so, a seventh-place rank is genuinely surprising.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Lu Chi, and saw that even while resting he was doing practice questions.

Lu Chi was naturally a smart person; he previously didn't study well because he thought studying was useless, but now that he knows studying is a stepping stone, he has begun reviewing day and night the knowledge he previously missed.

Su Yun Jiao said, "Seventh is fine; anyway, we don't have any relation."

"How can there be no relation? If Lu Chi is seventh in the grade, then in this Class Exchange Exam he's definitely going to Class One."

Zhou Tingting said, "If the three of us end up in the same class again, I'll feel uneasy inside."

Zhou Tingting is the type who, when she likes someone, likes them to the extreme; but once she stops liking someone, she doesn't want any involvement with them at all, and may even develop a dislike.

Su Yun Jiao currently feels nothing toward Lu Chi, and whether he ends up in the same class as them seems not very important to her.

Meanwhile, over here—

Fang Hong once again walked up to Qin Xue.

Qin Xue knew Fang Hong was after money this time, but these past two days she hadn't been able to contact Zheng Haoyuan, and only this morning did she learn that Zheng Haoyuan had been imprisoned for kidnapping and intentional injury.

Thus she now had no source of income at all.

"Qin Xue, you said you'd repay me after the Class Exchange Exam—where is my money now?"

Fang Hong looked at Qin Xue before her.

This was already the deadline for Qin Xue to repay the money; if she couldn't pay today, she would have to have her parents called.

Qin Xue bit her lip and said, "I…"

"You're not still short on the money, are you? Never mind—even if you didn't scrape it together, your parents have money. Wait a moment; I'll tell the teacher to call your parents and have you repay me those two thousand."

After saying that, Fang Hong turned to leave, but Qin Xue quickly reached out and grabbed her: "Honghong! Don't go—I'll definitely pay you back before school ends!"

"Come on, it's already been over a week of day after day, and now you're making me wait until after school—after school is the class exchange, and your grades definitely won't keep you in Class One; if you run off, who am I supposed to go after?"

"You know my family's contact info—if I still haven't paid you after school, you can just come find me directly, right?"

Qin Xue could only hope Fang Hong would give her a little more time.

She absolutely could not let Fang Hong call her parents; if her parents found out she had borrowed money from Fang Hong and then lent it to another man, they would surely beat her to death.

Seeing Qin Xue say that, Fang Hong could only respond irritably, "Fine, I'll give you another four hours; if you haven't repaid me by the time of the class exchange, you're done for."

After saying that, Fang Hong left.

Seeing Fang Hong go, Qin Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The surrounding classmates were all watching the spectacle involving Qin Xue, and they all knew she had no money.

How could she possibly raise two thousand in just these four short hours?

Feeling the strange looks from the people around her, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Finally, Qin Xue bit her lip and ran straight out of the classroom; with no other option, she could only borrow money from a teacher.

Qin Xue ran to the office, saw the homeroom teacher grading papers, then approached and said, "Teacher, I…"

"You've come at just the right time."

The homeroom teacher glanced at Qin Xue disapprovingly and said, "Did you even attend the winter break cram class properly? Do you know what score you got this time? Your rank is already outside the top hundred!"

Upon hearing her rank had fallen outside the top hundred, even though Qin Xue had braced herself, her face turned pale; if her parents learned her grades had plummeted, she would surely get a beating.

"Teacher, my grades are bad, I can work hard, but I really don't have two thousand right now—I dare not let my parents know I borrowed money from a classmate; teacher, could you help me?"
