The head teacher also said that if she failed to be one of the top 10 after the next test, she had to attend the evening class then.
Gu Ning agreed willingly. She now didn’t worry about her studies at all. From afar, Gu Ning saw An Yi walking around the door of her classroom. She knew that he must be here for her. An Yi must want to thank her for rescuing him. He didn’t know about the deal between Gu Ning and his dad yet.
The minute An Yi saw Gu Ning, he wore a pleased face. “Hi, Gu Ning.”
“How are you?” Gu Ning asked.
“I’m fine now. I wanted to thank you for what you’ve done for me, but you were absent this afternoon. Um, would you please come to lunch with me tomorrow? I really want to thank you all. Please.”
Although An Yi mainly wanted to thank Gu Ning and her friends, he also wanted to express his affection towards Gu Ning.
“Sure!” Gu Ning said. Gu Ning and An Guangyao were close now. She wouldn’t reject An Yi for the sake of his father.
An Yi was thrilled to have Gu Ning’s affirmative answer. “Great, then I’ll come to you tomorrow noon.”
Then they said good-bye to each other.
Most of the classmates inside saw Gu Ning talking with An Yi. They also knew that An Yi was chasing Gu Ning, so they thought that it was understandable, but Shao Feifei and her friends were envious of Gu Ning. They couldn’t accept the fact that Gu Ning, who had been poor and disliked by many, was now so popular.
They actually didn’t know An Yi’s background. If they had known that An Yi was from a rich family, they would have hated Gu Ning to the death.
Nonetheless, An Yi’s family business was different now, because the company that once belonged to his family was now Gu Ning’s property. Luckily, An Yi remained low-profile, and not many people knew about his background.
Besides, his family business almost went bankrupt this time. He also knew that someone had bought the company, but he had no idea who the buyer was. Therefore, An Yi didn’t believe that he was still a rich kid.
Gu Ning went into the classroom. She told Yu Mixi and other friends in the WeChat group that she wouldn’t be attending the evening class from now on.
Chu Peihan, Hao Ran, Qin Zixun and Zhang Tianping went to school every day only because of Gu Ning. Since Gu Ning wouldn’t be attending the evening class, they would do the same thing.
Mu Ke and Yu Mixi would follow the rules as usual.
They planned to train in the afternoon in the future.
As for the reason why Gu Ning wouldn’t be attending the evening class, she simply explained that she didn’t want to.
Since, she was the top one in their grade now no one could blame her for being so casual.
When Gu Ning got home in the evening, she also told her mom about her scores in this monthly test and her decision. Gu Man was happy to hear about it.
Parents all wanted their children to be excellent and outstanding. Although Gu Man had never criticized or blamed Gu Ning for her bad performance in school, she was thrilled to see that her daughter had improved a lot.
Gu Man supported Gu Ning not attending the evening class as well. She now completely believed in her daughter.
When Gu Xiaoxiao got home, she told Gu Qinxiang and others about what had happened that morning. Gu Qinxiang was in a rage. He had to admit that Gu Ning’s words made sense, but he hated Gu Ning for saying it in public. It was humiliating in his eyes.
Gu Qingxiang ignored the fact that it was Gu Xiaoxiao who had gone to argue with Gu Ning first.
Selfish people only cared about their feelings, and treated others badly. Gu Qingxiang’s entire family started to swear at Gu Ning. If it hadn’t been for Gu Man not being willing to answer their calls, they would have called and sworn at them directly. They also didn’t know Gu Ning’s number.
In fact, they hadn’t supported Gu Ning for a single day, so they actually weren’t in the position to slam Gu Ning.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn’t mention that Gu Ning was the top one in their grade in this monthly test. She had always been the best student in the Gu Family, and she didn’t want to be replaced.
Even though Gu Ning had cut her connection with the Gu Family, her family name was still “Gu” after all.
…
The next day, Gu Ning left zone G and met Xu Jinchen.
“Hey, morning!” Xu Jinchen greeted Gu Ning.
“Good morning!” Gu Ning said.
“Are you going to school? Oh, I do miss my school days,” Xu Jinchen said when he noticed that Gu Ning was in her school uniform with a backpack.
“I wish that I could get rid of my school days as soon as possible. I want my freedom,” Gu Ning said.
“Ha-ha, I understand. It is boring staying in the school all day, but once you need to find a job and earn money, you’ll be stressed and miss your school days,” Xu Jinchen said.
It was true. Most people started to miss their school days once they left school and tried making a living in society.
Those who had a rich or powerful family would feel that it was easy, but those who didn’t would be under great pressure.
“I agree. So even though I don’t like studying, I will seize my chance to enjoy my school life. I don’t want to regret it in the future,” Gu Ning said.
She disliked studying. It was time-consuming, but since she had been reborn, she wanted to live an ordinary life. She couldn’t let the hatred get the best of her. She would get revenge, and also enjoy her life.
Gu Ning didn’t talk with Xu Jinchen for very long, because she had to go to school.
After Gu Ning was gone, Leng Shaoting appeared from other side. He glanced at Xu Jinchen, but didn’t say a word. Xu Jinchen felt nervous at once.
Why didn’t Leng Shaoting stop him from chatting with Gu Ning?
Xu Jinchen thought for a while, then asked Leng Shaoting, “Shaoting, what do you think of Gu Ning?”
“What?” Leng Shaoting said.
“Um, do you think that she would be a good girlfriend?” Xu Jinchen asked again.
“I don’t know,” Leng Shaoting replied. He had no idea, because he didn’t understand romantic relationships at all.
“Oh,” Xu Jinchen cleared his throat, then asked seriously, “Shaoting, be honest with me. What is your relationship with her?”
“Nothing,” Leng Shaoting said.
“Really? Don’t lie to my face. I am getting interested in Gu Ning now. If there is nothing between you two I’m going to chase her!” Xu Jinchen said with sincerity.
