Luo Zheng squinted, her peach-blossom-shaped eyes appearing like starry skies. “Of course, if I don’t make it to the top ten, I’ll withdraw from school and quit studying forever! Do you dare to do it or not?”
Her short and simple words managed to shock everyone.
Luo Zheng... has she been possessed!?!
Not only was she brazenly rude to Madam Zhao, she even used herself as a bet.
Quitting studying forever meant that she would not be going to university, and end up only having completed her education up till high school... it would be normal for average people but it was different for Luo Zheng, who was the heiress of a wealthy family. Hence, she obviously could not have such a low education level.
Her reputation would be ruined!
Zhao Yafang was just as shocked. She had gone through painstaking means and lots of underhanded methods like pulling connections, in order to become the form teacher of class 9.
Zhao Manru was her distant relative whom she had been helping in terms of dealing with Luo Zheng. Her goal was to make Luo Zheng detest studying and end up ruining her grades.
To her astonishment, Luo Zheng made such a bet with her. She reckoned that she should not have agreed to it.
However, she could not accept being challenged and provoked by Luo Zheng in front of everyone else. Besides, Luo Zheng’s grades were very poor... In fact, it was impossible for her to make it to the top ten within just a month! She thought.
If she could ruin Luo Zheng’s education, Zhao Manru would definitely offer her plenty of benefits!
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Yafang was overjoyed, even though she still appeared reluctant on the surface. “Luo Zheng, as the teacher of the class, how can I get up to such nonsense? You may be young and insensible but I can’t be too. If others hear about this, I’m going to be embarrassed.”
Luo Zheng cocked her head sideways and gibed, “Does that mean that you’re not game enough?”
“What a joke. Why would I be afraid of you? I just thought that I shouldn’t stoop to your level! However, since you insist, I’ll agree to it... ”
Zhao Yafang pretended like she had agreed out of anger.
Afraid that Luo Zheng would go back on her word, she added, “I’ll tell the other teachers about this later and get them to be witnesses, lest others accuse me of bullying you! There’s still time for you to withdraw. I’ll just take it that you’re insensible... ”
Well aware of Zhao Yafang’s intentions, Luo Zheng interjected, “Since I was the one who suggested this, I won’t regret it!”
“Fine, you were the one who said that. Don’t deny it when you fail to make it to the top ten next month!”
Zhao Yafang then turned around and left the classroom.
All of a sudden, all eyes were on Luo Zheng and they stared at her in disbelief, as if they were staring at an idiot.
Li Li sneered smugly, “Top ten? How gutsy of you, Luo Zheng! I hope you’ll stick to your promise and get lost from high school when the time comes. Don’t ever go to university!”
Luo Zheng opened the textbook and exclaimed, “I think you’d better worry about how your mother should be writing her resignation letter!”
How arrogant!
Li Li flew into a rage and glowered at Luo Zheng before returning to her seat indignantly.
She was sure that Luo Zheng would lose. She was looking forward to the end of next month!

The news then spread like wildfire after class was dismissed in the afternoon.
The sunny sky turned gloomy all of a sudden and even began to drizzle.
As soon as Luo Zheng arrived downstairs, she saw a bunch of girls gathering together and screaming excitedly. “Oh my god! It’s Senior Mubai! It really is him! He’s actually here in school... ”
