Chapter 848: Chapter 848 I Disgust You to Death Chapter 848: Chapter 848 I Disgust You to Death Luo Qiao, since she spent half her time away from school and had only recently transferred to this class, wasn’t too close to her classmates.
After entering the classroom, everyone looked her way. When Tan Xiaoyan saw Luo Qiao come in, she was so mad that she clenched her fists. The chance to attend the exchange program had gone to her, and even one of the spots for guaranteed university recommendation had been given to her. If she hadn’t skipped a grade, that spot might have been Tan Xiaoyan’s own.
She was dressed so nicely; her family must be well-off. Yet she still had to come and steal what was Tan Xiaoyan’s, fingers digging into her own flesh without even realizing it.
Just as Luo Qiao sat down at her desk, a group of students surrounded her: “Luo Qiao, did you learn a lot at the exchange meeting?”
Luo Qiao said with a smile, “Yes, I really gained a lot. I’ll organize my notes later and make a copy for everyone to share.”
“That’s really great. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
At that moment, a sarcastic voice chimed in: “Sure, she says that, but you take it seriously? An exchange meeting is such a rare learning opportunity. She wouldn’t have enough time to keep all that to herself, let alone share her real tricks. She’s got a good master, but we don’t.”
Sitting in her seat, Luo Qiao replied indifferently, “That’s not something you can covet, just the ability to be snarky. You’re only shaming yourself.”
Di Manning wanted to argue with Luo Qiao, but recalling the warnings from her family, she just glared fiercely at Luo Qiao and sat down in her own seat.
Just to save face, she spat out viciously, “Let’s see if you can keep up your smugness.”
Luo Qiao turned around, looked at Di Manning with a smirk, and said, “Next time, I’ll take action directly. I believe the school will handle it fairly. What do you think?”
Tan Xiaoyan, sitting beside them, watched the scene and cursed Di Manning inwardly as useless.
After composing herself, she walked up and said to Luo Qiao, “Congratulations, Luo Qiao. You’ve really brought honor to our class.”
Luo Qiao had always felt that Tan Xiaoyan’s way of looking at people was a bit off, and now, hearing this and seeing the poorly concealed jealousy in her eyes, she knew she was dealing with a hypocrite.
Luo Qiao responded coolly, “What’s there for me to be congratulated on?”
Tan Xiaoyan said with a laugh, “The school only has five spots for guaranteed university recommendation this year, and you quietly snagged one. Isn’t that worth congratulating?”
The classroom buzzed with this news, as the students started discussing it among themselves.
They all understood that if Luo Qiao really got that recommendation spot, it was because she had the ability, but they still felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.
Luo Qiao stood up. “I wasn’t aware of this news. Tan Xiaoyan, how did you come to know about it? Surely you don’t have personal connections with the school leadership?
You’re really impressive, knowing such big news before the school has even announced it. Make sure you let the rest of us in on any insider info from now on, okay?”
Your plan was to have everyone envy and resent me, then join forces to ostracize me, wasn’t it? Well then, let’s all do it together. Who’s afraid of whom? Hmph.
Tan Xiaoyan didn’t expect Luo Qiao to react so quickly and hurriedly tried to explain: “That’s not what I…”
Luo Qiao dismissed her without giving a chance to continue: “No need to explain. It’s very normal to have connections. None of us will speak of it outside, but I must say, having such connections really sets you apart; you get the news even before the person involved does.”
After speaking, Luo Qiao even gave her a thumbs-up with a smile.
Now, the classmates looked at Tan Xiaoyan with skepticism, letting their imaginations run wild.
Seeing the desired effect, Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Tan Xiaoyan, I need to get back to studying. Whether it’s true or not, I appreciate you letting me know about this.”
As she sat down, she thought to herself: I’ll make you regret your pretense.
Tan Xiaoyan was so angry her face turned pale.
A classmate named Miao Shuang couldn’t resist twisting the knife: “Tan Xiaoyan, you look unwell. How many times have we told you to eat better? Health is the capital of the revolution. With all those scholarships you win, what are you doing with them?”
Miao Shuang disliked those who always pretended to be something they’re not, showing one face in public and another behind people’s backs. It was simply nauseating. If you’re jealous, just say so, instead of faking your way over to offer congratulations. Now you’ve hit a wall, haven’t you? You really thought everyone else was a fool.
