Chapter 805: Chapter 805 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred Chapter 805: Chapter 805 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred Luo Qiao hung up the phone, feeling incredibly elated. She thought to herself that Xiao Ya was already a year older than her, and would be twenty-one after the new year. Although Xiao Ya was still in university, getting married wouldn’t be a problem; after all, her second brother had money now, and even if they both continued studying after marriage, there was no need to worry about supporting a wife.
Then the thought struck her that only her fourth brother was single now. She decided she would have to make a trip back to the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound to check on his situation soon.
She didn’t want to be too nosy about her second brother’s affairs with a girlfriend. It was better to let him discuss it with the family himself. She believed that Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad would definitely approve of Second Brother and Xiao Ya’s relationship.
The accelerated placement exam Luo Qiao applied for came as scheduled. She tackled each subject with great dedication and, unsurprisingly, her results were pleasing, earning her high praise from the professors who considered Luo Qiao a naturally gifted talent in medicine.
Luo Qiao successfully skipped another grade, and two days before the New Year’s holiday, she followed the senior’s class advisor into the senior classroom. Luo Qiao had become a legend in the school.
After a brief self-introduction, she found a seat and sat down. The majority of her classmates admired the talented and beautiful younger student, and the class radiated with goodwill toward her.
But there were some who couldn’t stand her, and Di Manning had been frowning ever since Luo Qiao walked in.
Before Luo Qiao enrolled, Di Manning was the beauty queen of Beijing Medical University. But since Luo Qiao’s arrival, not only had she lost her title, but now Luo Qiao had also jumped grades to become a senior in her class, which was quite irritating for her.
Luo Qiao was known in the school, but people only knew she had a fiancé who worked in public security. Her family background remained unclear to others.
From the way Luo Qiao dressed, it seemed her family’s financial situation was good, and combined with her amiable nature and fair treatment of all her classmates, she made a positive impression on them.
There was a female student in the class named Tan Xiaoyan, who came from a very poor family but studied hard. She had relied entirely on scholarships to sustain her university life, and she was aware that Luo Qiao received scholarships every year.
Previously, they were not in the same class, and Tan Xiaoyan didn’t feel threatened. But now that Luo Qiao was in her class, Tan Xiaoyan feared her top rank was at risk, so she harbored some animosity towards Luo Qiao.
Di Manning noticed Tan Xiaoyan’s expression and sneered dismissively, harboring some schemes in her heart.
The night before New Year’s Eve, each department organized a social gathering, and Luo Qiao did not seek any special treatment but went to the event with her classmates.
Upon arrival, Ji Lin and Shen Juan found her, and the three of them chose a relatively quiet spot to sit down. Ji Lin said, “Luo Qiao, you’re really something, jumping grades just like that.
Not only are you acing rotations in the affiliated hospital, but you’re also making waves at the university. I really don’t know how your brain works, perhaps you have a larger brain capacity than the rest of us.”
Shen Juan laughed and said, “I can’t even keep up if I were riding a horse. It makes people envious, jealous, and resentful.”
Luo Qiao unwrapped a candy and put it in her mouth, “Haven’t I told you? My master had already taught me all of the university courses, including the specialty ones. What I lack is practical experience.
So don’t always think I am so capable; you can consider that I am an early bird. Who in our university isn’t a top student, right?”
Ji Lin ‘hmph’d and said, “You really know how to talk, making me feel a lot better.”
Soon, some people came to invite them to dance, but they politely declined. Worried that continually refusing invitations would look bad, Luo Qiao thought about stepping outside for some air. As they stood up, they suddenly heard someone on the stage calling Luo Qiao’s name.
Luo Qiao turned around, and now all the students in the room looked towards her. The host on stage said, “Student Luo Qiao, as an outstanding figure in clinical medicine, could you please say a few words to everyone?”
Facing so many people, it was definitely not possible to decline, but Luo Qiao looked up and stared at the host for a few seconds, making the host nervous.
Shen Juan worried about Luo Qiao said, “Qiaoqiao, if you don’t want to, don’t force yourself.”
Luo Qiao patted Shen Juan’s hand, which was gripping her arm, “It’s okay, just wait for me here for a bit.”
