Chapter 41 - Math Results

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Huo You finished speaking, the classroom that was originally quiet was immediately filled with noisy whisperings.

“What’s going on? I didn’t hear that one will be expelled if they didn’t do well on the joint examination…”

“What do you know? This is because the real young miss doesn’t want the fake young miss to be an eyesore in school. She’s just finding an excuse to chase Huo Tian away.”

“Really? Huo You doesn’t look like such a bad person…”

“One can never judge a book by its cover…”

Huo You vaguely heard the contents of the students’ discussion and her countenance turned extremely grim. She glanced at the people who had gathered together and were whispering among themselves. Her dark gaze made the gossipy students immediately shut up.

Mr. Wang, who was on the podium, looked even worse. He slammed the book in his hand on the table. His voice was not loud, but it frightened the students so much that they immediately shut up.

Mr. Wang looked at Huo You solemnly. “Huo You, I don’t know where you got this untrue information from. The school won’t expel Huo Tian just because her results are ranked lower than yours.”

“Is that so? It seems like you admire Huo Tian very much, Teacher.” Huo You didn’t mind Mr. Wang’s attitude towards her and even smiled.

“Unfortunately, Huo Tian’s decision to stay or leave is not decided by the teachers. When Huo Tian’s results are out, the school’s board of directors will make the decision to expel her. Teacher, you probably can’t do anything about it either, right?”

Mr. Wang frowned and looked at the smug Huo You. “Huo You, since you don’t respect me as the form teacher, then there’s no need for you to stay in my class.”

The moment these words were spoken, the smugness on Huo You’s face froze.

“Teacher, I’m not…”

Huo You instinctively wanted to explain, but before she could finish, Mr. Wang pointed at the classroom door.

“As a teacher, I don’t like having students interrupt my classes time and time again. Since you can’t concentrate on listening to my classes, then leave my classroom.”

“You’re kicking me out?” Huo You’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to offend me in order to defend Huo Tian, who is a good-for-nothing student?”

Mr. Wang stood upright on the podium. He did not cower because of Huo You’s threat but instead had a dignified aura. “I’m a teacher and you’re a student, but your attitude is even more arrogant than mine. I’m only getting you to leave my classroom. Huo You, have anything else to say?”

Faced with Mr. Wang’s threatening gaze, Huo You, who was originally full of arrogance, cowered a little in her heart.

She didn’t understand why Mr. Wang’s attitude towards her was so bad. She clearly had excellent grades and a good family background. Wasn’t Mr. Wang afraid of offending the Huo Family?

Huo You’s face turned red. She bit her lower lip and reluctantly walked out of the classroom with her books. She slammed the classroom door shut with a loud bang.

In the classroom, Mr. Wang pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and glanced at the students who were wearing different expressions on their faces.

He said indifferently, “I know many students in my class come from good families and that your parents can easily affect my career. As a teacher, when I stand on the podium, you’re only my students and not the children or grandchildren of some prominent family. Do you understand?”

“We understand…”

The students in the class all nodded in agreement. Some of them even thought that Huo You was really muddled. Mr. Wang was not a teacher who had paid his way in but was an outstanding teacher that the school had poached from somewhere else. How could he possibly give Huo You special treatment because of her good family background?

If it could be said that the other students in his class made Mr. Wang feel unhappy, Huo Tian’s existence was simply like a treasure to him.

“Alright, next, we’ll be distributing the math papers for this joint examination…”

Mr. Wang picked up an exam paper and broke into an affectionate smile. “Huo Tian, you received full marks for your math exam and have the highest score in the class. I hope you can continue to maintain this standard.”

Huo Tian got up and went to the podium to get her paper. She looked calm and was not surprised by her results at all.

Please, did they think that those long preparations and the many college entrance examination questions she had done before the joint examinations were for nothing?

Mr. Wang then continued to read out everyone’s marks one by one. The students whose marks were read out went to the podium to collect their exam paper. As the points decreased, Mr. Wang’s expression became worse.

The student sitting in front of Huo Tian also received his math paper. This boy was called Zhang Hao and he had scored more than 130 points in math. This was already a rare high score.

While the teacher was still reading out the results on the podium, Zhang Hao turned around and sprawled on Huo Tian’s desk. “Huo Tian, can you show me your paper? The test this time is so difficult. How did you get full marks?”

Huo Tian passed her paper to Zhang Hao, shrugged, and looked puzzled. “Is it very difficult to get full marks? I just did the questions normally..”
