Chapter 106: Jiang Yu Was Afraid of Doing Poorly in the Exams
Jiang Chenglang heard a sound and turned his head.
It seemed like every time he saw Jiang Yu, she always had a look of indifference on her face, like nothing could catch her interest.
The only time she was more proactive was when it was time to eat. Other than that, she was like an invisible person, drifting away from him and Jiang Wan, never taking the initiative to get to know them better.
“Big Sister!” Jiang Wan greeted. “I’m talking to Big Brother about a reward for doing well in the exams. Do you want to join us?”
“No need.”
Jiang Yu rejected, “If there’s anything I need, I prefer to buy it myself.”
Jiang Wan had already expected Jiang Yu to reject her, so her expression did not change. She continued to try to persuade her, “This is a good opportunity to extort Big Brother. Big Sister, don’t let this slide.”
Jiang Chenglang added, “You can ask for anything.”
He knew that Jiang Yu’s results weren’t very good, as long as it did not decline any further, it would be considered an improvement. He has never demanded that they come back with high scores.
“No need.”
Jiang Yu was about to head upstairs to put her things away when she thought of something and stopped.
“I won’t be home for dinner tomorrow night. I have something to do.”
Jiang Chenglang replied, “Okay.”
Jiang Wan sneered in her heart. What else could it be?
The results would be announced tomorrow. Jiang Yu was afraid of doing poorly in the exams and would not be able to face her at home.
That was why Jiang Yu was finding an excuse to avoid her.
She originally thought that Jiang Yu was acting disinterested on the surface because she really did not care about the results. She had not expected Jiang Yu to just be pretending.
Seeing Jiang Chenglang’s expression fall a little, Jiang Wan knew that he did not know how to get along with Jiang Yu.
Of course, Jiang Wan was not stupid enough to directly mock Jiang Yu’s results in front of Jiang Chenglang.
The results would be out tomorrow. There was no need for her to waste her breath now.
She too put on a sad expression and said hesitantly, “Big Sister still doesn’t seem to like me… Did I make Big Sister angry again? Big Brother, I’ve already apologized. What should I do next to make up for it?”
Jiang Chenglang didn’t answer.
Firstly, he didn’t have any experience with this matter.
Secondly, he already knew the cause of the conflict between Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan.
Although Jiang Zeyu and Jiang Yu were unharmed, it was Lu Hetai who had ambushed them…
Why was Lu Hetai looking for trouble with Jiang Zeyu?
Jiang Chenglang didn’t want to simply point fingers at anyone. He had to find out the cause.
…
In the office, the teachers were divided into several groups according to subjects. They opened the sealed papers and prepared to grade them.
A male voice teased, “Teacher Kong, things will be easy for you. You’re leading Special Class One. I believe the first place in the monthly test this time is from your class again, right?”
The person called Teacher Kong was a man over forty years old. His name was Kong Tang. He had a beard and usually didn’t smile.
Before he could answer, another female voice had already taken over the conversation. “Look, what kind of empty question are you asking?”
“Feng Junhao from Teacher Kong’s class has always maintained first place in the whole grade and has never been surpassed by anyone. There haven’t been any new students recently. How could a dark horse possibly appear in one of the other classes?”
A male voice said, “That’s true. Even if there is a dark horse, it could only possibly come from Teacher Sun’s class.”
Teacher Sun was the form teacher in charge of Special Class Two.
Cheng Maoshi was flipping open the test papers. When he heard their conversation, he wagged his finger and said, “I think… that might not be the case.”

“What do you mean, Teacher Cheng? Could there be a seeded contestant in your Class Two?”
“No.” Cheng Maoshi shook his head. “I’m talking about teacher Zhao’s class.”
“Teacher Zhao? Class Seven?” The man sneered. “Teacher Cheng, your jokes go too far. Are you deliberately mocking Teacher Zhao?”
Kong Tang interrupted, “Alright, alright, stop chit-chatting. We’ve only given you one day. The results will be announced tomorrow, and you’re still causing a ruckus. Stay up all night if you want but I won’t accompany you.”
“Sigh. Alright, alright.” The man opened the test paper and was stunned. “Did I see this right? Why does one person have two test papers?”
“That…”
Cheng Maoshi raised his hand and touched his nose. “I can explain.”
…
The next day, it was time for the results to be announced.
The top-ranking classes were all looking forward to it, but in Class Seven, everyone was doing what they would usually be doing. Only Song Bi and Jiang Zeyu were unusually expectant this time around.
Song Bi and Jiang Zeyu had their heads together. Song Bi asked in a low voice, “Brother Yu, what do you think of your little sister’s test this time?”
Jiang Zeyu raised two fingers and said with certainty, “She must be in the top 20 of the grade.”
“Jumping from third-from-last to the top 20 of the grade… That’s a big jump.” Song Bi was dumbfounded. “To be honest, I have the same feeling.”
Soon, Zhao Jiande, the form teacher of Class Seven, rushed into the classroom, exam papers in hand.
His face was full of joy and excitement. One look and anyone could tell he was in a good mood.
Song Bi gave a thumbs up. “Look at how happy Old Zhao is. One of the top 20 spots is in the bag.”
In the regular classes, if a student was promoted to the next class, there would be rewards. The greater the promotion, the greater the reward.
Zhao Jiande was in charge of Class Seven. Initially, he didn’t have much hope, but who could have known, this time, he would suddenly receive a surprise?
Zhao Jiande slapped the table and said, “Everyone, I have good news for you. There was a dark horse in our class for this exam!”
Everyone had already witnessed Jiang Yu’s actions during the exam, so they weren’t too surprised to hear Zhao Jiande say that.
It seemed like Jiang Yu had done it?
Who knew what her results were?
Meanwhile, the person involved, Jiang Yu, looked calm, as if what Zhao Jiande said had nothing to do with her.
Zhao Jiande looked at Jiang Yu. “This time, the dark horse from our class got into the top ranks of the grade. Furthermore, she completed two different sets of test papers within the time limit set for an examination!”
“We have carefully graded the two sets of examination papers and both scored 100%. Both of them yielded excellent results!”
Zhao Jiande took the lead and started clapping. “Now, let us congratulate her, Student Jiang Yu!”
“Full marks in all four subjects, first place in the whole grade, breaking the monthly test result record!”
…
At the same time, in Special Class One.
“What?!”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.
Feng Junhao wasn’t first place. Who could have surpassed him?
Kong Tang said, “Looks like you lot have been slacking off in your studies. That’s why you were surpassed by a Class Seven student. This is good, let this serve as a warning. You should focus more on your studies. There’s not much time left before the college entrance exam.”
Feng Junhao was also in a state of shock.
He had been surpassed by an ordinary Class Seven student?
Chapter 108: Definitely Couldn’t Have Been Obtained by Cheating!
Wait… Class Seven?
Feng Junhao frowned and said, “Teacher Kong, that student, what’s their name?”
“She has some connections with a student in our class.” Kong Tang looked at Jiang Wan. “Her name is Jiang Yu.”
Jiang Wan’s expression immediately changed.
How could it be Jiang Yu?!
Ni Manman muttered, “Could there be someone else with the same name and family name in this school…”
Teacher Kong had just said that she had a relationship with one of their classmates though…
Wasn’t Jiang Yu Jiang Wan’s older sister?
Chen Miaoyi’s mouth was open but she did not make a sound.
She was a little flustered.
Sh*t. If it was really Jiang Yu, then what about her bet with Jiang Yu?
How did she manage to do so well?
Ni Manman couldn’t believe it. She raised her hand and asked, “Teacher Kong, were Jiang Yu’s results checked thoroughly? Could it be that she got such good results through some improper means?”
What Ni Manman said was what many others were thinking as well.
If a dark horse appeared from their class or Special Class Two and replaced Feng Junhao’s position, they would be surprised, but it wouldn’t be something they couldn’t accept.
For such a person to appear from Class Seven though, wasn’t that next to impossible?
She must have cheated!
Kong Tang recalled to back in the office, Cheng Maoshi had imitated Jiang Yu, talking about being afraid of trouble. He felt a little annoyed and turned to Ni Manman with a cold gaze.
“Jiang Yu’s results definitely couldn’t have been obtained by cheating!”
Kong Tang’s words were loud and clear. “She had asked to complete another set of monthly test papers within the stipulated time. This happened with all four subjects!
“We even checked her results twice. All eight papers had full marks! You’re saying she cheated? Then why don’t you all give it a try?”
Everyone: “What the hell?”
They already felt that there was barely enough time for one paper, yet Jiang Yu had done two papers at once?
Was she a freak?
Did she think that the third-year exams weren’t hard enough?
Feng Junhao pursed his lips.
He recalled the last time she was at the Feng family home, Jiang Yu said that she didn’t need him to teach her because he couldn’t.
At that time, he only thought that Jiang Yu was trying to save her own face. Now, reality slapped him in the face.
Ni Manman and the others were also stunned.
Moreover, Ni Manman’s face was a little pale after hearing Kong Tang’s words.
“Just because your skills are inferior to others, you accuse people of cheating. That’s not what I taught you. You should look inwards and take a good look at yourself!”
Kong Tang swept his gaze across the room. “You all have disappointed me greatly in this monthly exam! A portion of you will be leaving this class in the near future. I hope that you will reflect on yourselves. Now, class rep, come up and hand out the exam papers!”
…
Compared to the gloomy atmosphere in Special Class One, Class Seven was filled with jubilation.
Jiang Zeyu thought that Jiang Yu was just pressuring Zheng-what’s-his-face. Who knew that his little sister would actually get first place?
And they were all full marks?
Previously, he had been worried that his little sister’s grades wouldn’t be up to scratch and hadn’t believed his little sister’s words. Back then, the way his little sister was looking at him, was she just tolerating his stupidity?
Jiang Zeyu was silent for a moment. It was over. His little sister was being switched to Special Class One for sure.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Yu walked over to Jiang Zryu’s seat where he was forlornly staring at the ground. She informed him, “I have something on later today and will be leaving a little late. You don’t have to wait for me.”
“Alright, Little Sister.” Jiang Zeyu wanted to say something but hesitated. Only one word came out. “Congratulations.”
Jiang Yu did not put much thought into it. “Thank you.”
After school, Jiang Yu stayed back in the classroom for a while. Then, she picked up her bag and walked to the back wall of the school. She easily scaled it and jumped the wall.
Parked on the side of the road, a black car rolled down its window.
