Chapter 17: Final Exam

Tang Ning nodded as she drank her milk and said, “Of course.”

Lu Yanchen didn’t say anything.

Seeing that Lu Yanchen was silent, Tang Ning thought that he didn’t want to go back to Class A to face Lu Chizhou, so she said, “I was just saying this casually. If you don’t want to go back to Class A, then don’t go back…”

“I’ll try my best.”

Tang Ning was stunned.

Lu Yanchen said calmly: “I will try my best to find a way to return to Class A.”

“Real?”

“Yes, really.”

Before Tang Ning could feel happy, the bell rang to signal the end of lunch break.

Lu Yanchen put away the books in front of Tang Ning and said, “It’s time for class. Go back and do your homework first.”

After saying that, Lu Yanchen placed the packed books and test papers in Tang Ning’s hands.

Tang Ning nodded.

When she returned to the classroom, she saw Su Yurou and other classmates showing off the expensive gifts Lu Chizhou had bought for her.

When Su Yurou’s eyes fell on Tang Ning, there was a hint of obvious provocation in them.

Tang Ning ignored her. The more proud Su Yurou was now, the more regretful she would be in the future.

People like Su Yurou, who spend a lot of time dating Lu Chizhou every day, have already delayed their studies to no end.

In her previous life, Su Yurou had excellent grades and got the opportunity to study abroad after graduation, becoming the white moonlight in Lu Chizhou’s heart.

But in this life, Su Yurou was only concerned with her relationship with Lu Chizhou and had not studied much in the past month.

Normally, nothing could be seen, but when it came to the final exams, Su Yurou would realize how much she had missed.

Tang Ning would not waste time competing with Su Yurou for a man. The most important thing for her right now was to complete her schoolwork and return to her previous level.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the semester was just three days away.

Based on the last monthly exam results, Tang Ning, Lu Yanchen, Lu Chizhou, and Su Yurou were assigned to the same exam room.

This exam was more difficult than the previous monthly exams. Tang Ning handled it with ease and finished the paper 20 minutes early, but Su Yurou was not in such good shape.

During the last monthly exam, she and Lu Chizhou had only been together for a few days, so her performance was stable.

But this month, with Lu Chizhou in a passionate relationship, Su Yurou often skipped classes and even copied other people’s homework.

In the second year of high school, every minute counts. Let alone a month, even a week of slacking off would put her behind others.

After the exam, Tang Ning saw that Su Yurou’s face had turned pale.

Previously, Su Yurou was the class beauty and had excellent academic performance, so all the classmates around her were willing to be friends with her.

At this time, everyone compared their answers with Su Yurou as usual.

Normally, Su Yurou would patiently check answers with everyone, but this time, she got up early and said, “I don’t feel well. I’m going to the bathroom.”

Seeing that Su Yurou was not feeling well, Lu Chizhou nervously stepped forward to ask about her condition.

When Tang Ning saw Su Yurou’s expression, she knew she had guessed right.

Su Yurou was afraid that she would not perform well in this final exam.

In the afternoon, after the last exam was over, Lu Yanchen waited for Tang Ning to finish class at the door of Class A.

As Tang Ning walked out of the classroom, she saw Lu Yanchen. Before she could approach him, she heard Wang Ting’s voice from behind,

“Hey, Lu Yanchen is waiting for Tang Ning again.”

“Yeah, they go to and from school in pairs every day, and they stay close to each other during breaks. Could it be that they are in a premature relationship?”

“Tang Ning, I thought you were a role model. You were also in love early, so how could you have the nerve to report Mr. Lu for being so gentle?”

The group of girls standing next to Su Yurou mocked Tang Ning without hesitation.

Especially after they learned from Su Yurou that Tang Ning was just a driver’s daughter, they began to dislike her even more.

Although all of them were children of small entrepreneurs, there was still a chain of contempt.

Lu Yanchen frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Those girls were frightened by Lu Yanchen’s look and shut their mouths.

Everyone knew about Lu Yanchen’s gang fight. In the eyes of the whole school, he was a dangerous time bomb.

“Leave them alone.”

Tang Ning handed the schoolbag to Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen naturally took Tang Ning’s schoolbag.

But before leaving, Lu Yanchen glanced at the girls and said, “Watch your mouths.”

Lu Yanchen’s obvious threat made the girls shudder.

Three days later, the final exam results were announced.

Lu Yanchen jumped directly to first place in the grade, and Tang Ning, under Lu Yanchen’s guidance, also ranked third in the grade.

However, Su Yurou, who was originally ranked high, suddenly dropped to outside the top 50, and Lu Chizhou’s ranking also dropped to 20th in the grade.

On the podium, the head teacher’s eyes fell on Su Yurou, and his tone became a little colder: “Su Yurou, ask your parents to come over before you leave at noon.”

Hearing this, Su Yurou’s face turned pale.

She had always been a good student in school, and her parents had never been called to school. Even when she was in a premature relationship with Lu Chizhou, the class teacher did not call her parents because she was a girl.

But recently, Su Yurou’s grades had seriously declined, and she often took sick leave to go out and date Lu Chizhou.

The head teacher couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Teacher…my dad is usually very busy and may not have time to come.”

“What about your mother?”

When Su Yurou heard the head teacher mention her mother, her expression became even uglier.

Seeing Su Yurou remained silent, others didn’t know what was going on, but Tang Ning knew.

Su’s father and Su Yurou’s mother divorced a long time ago, and Su’s father had been raising Su Yurou alone.

But now, in front of her classmates and teachers, Su Yurou naturally couldn’t tell them about her parents’ divorce.

After all, everyone in the school now thinks she is the daughter of the Su family. If people knew that she was the daughter of the Su family’s driver, the image she had worked so hard to build in school would probably be ruined.

Seeing that Su Yurou didn’t say anything, the head teacher said, “Su Yurou, your grades have dropped so much, your guardian is also responsible.

No matter whether your parents are busy or not, they must come over at noon.”

After saying that, the head teacher began to assign summer homework, leaving Su Yurou no chance to refuse.

Su Yurou felt uneasy when she thought about her driver father coming to school.

If all the classmates knew that she was the only poor student in the second grade, then her previous attempt to frame Tang Ning would be exposed.

At noon, other students in the school had packed their bags and gone home for the summer vacation, but Wang Ting and a few others stayed behind.

Lu Chizhou even stayed by Su Yurou’s side, which made Su Yurou very anxious.
