At this point, everyone could tell that Li Li was out to make things hard for Luo Zheng.
Unfortunately, no one helped Luo Zheng, partly because they were not close to her. Her only “best friend” was Jiang Xinlei who belonged to another class... another reason was also that they hated how arrogant she was and they despised the fact that she kept bragging. Hence, they felt that she had brought it upon herself.
Lastly, it was because Li Li’s mother, Zhao Yafang, was the form teacher of Class 9. Hence, who would dare to provoke her?
“No, I said top 30 so I’ll do it!”
Luo Zheng ignored Li Li afterwards.
As long as she revised thoroughly and put in hard work,it would be possible for her to make it to the top 20... However, she decided that slow and steady wins the race, and that there was no point in getting upset over someone like Li Li.
Still feeling indignant, Li Li continued, “Luo Zheng, you seem very confident. Do you dare to make a bet with me?”
Even if Luo Zheng hires a genius tutor, can she save her pathetic grades within a month’s time?
“If you don’t make it to the top 20, you’ll have to run 10 kilometers around the field in a swimsuit, right in front of everyone. Are you game enough?”
Luo Zheng thought to herself, I ignored Li Li time and time again because I did not want unnecessary trouble... but why is she so annoying? If I do not retaliate, she is just going to think that I am a pushover.
The thought of it made Luo Zheng smirk and she turned to look at Li Li in disdain, “And what if I make it to the top 30?”
“Hah, you’re definitely not going to make it!”
Li Li was a hundred percent certain and confident.
“Vice president, don’t be too quick to speak. You might end up slapping yourself and that is going to hurt!”
Luo Zheng reminded her out of goodwill and smirked like a wolf.
Just as Li Li was about to retort, a middle aged woman entered and hollered, “What are you people doing instead of studying?”
She immediately recognized Luo Zheng and rebuked with a frown, “Luo Zheng, why is it you again!?! Haven’t you already quit school? Why are you still here!?”
Luo Zheng’s eyes lit up and she stared at Zhao Yafang coldly.
It was her!
Although Luo Zheng did not exactly do well in the first two years of high school, she would never be the last few of the cohort. The change was because... of Zhao Yafang who took over the class in Year 12. Since then, she had been nitpicking Luo Zheng and making things difficult for her.
Over time, Luo Zheng began to hate studying and instead focused all her attention on pursuing Xi Mubai!
Later on, she found out that Zhao Manru and Zhao Yafang were related to each other. Zhao Manru was Luo Zheng’s stepmother and hence, she knew that she definitely had something to do with it!
The thought of Li Li being Zhao Yafang’s daughter made Luo Zheng regret ignoring her instead of abhorring her!
“Madam Zhao, your daughter made a bet with me. If I were to make it to the top 30, she would run 10km around the field wearing a swimsuit!” Luo Zheng provoked while twirling her pen.
“What rights do you have to make such a bet!?! You only managed to make it to an elite high school because of your family’s wealth and connections! Luo Zheng, I suggest you’d better continue dropping out of school, lest you embarrass yourself here!”
Zhao Yafang scanned her surroundings and looked at the other students in contempt. “As for the rest of you, you’d better buck up and study hard if you’re not as wealthy as Luo Zheng’s family! Let’s not be like her. Once her family goes bankrupt, she’ll be nothing but a beggar... ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Is this how a teacher should speak to her students? Of course not. She and Zhao Manru are obviously in cahoots to deal with me!
Luo Zheng still managed to be provoked. She sprung up and asked, “Madam Zhao, do you dare to make a bet with me?”
“We’ll bet on me making it to the top ten! If I manage to make it to the top ten for the next exam, you shall resign!”
