She didn’t sit down. She placed her hands on the edge of her table and gave an awkward smile. “I’m sorry. I was shocked because Ye Jian is my older sister. She had left home for a year and never contacted anyone. Hence, I was... surprised to see her.”
She grabbed the corners of her table forcefully. Her hand turned pale because of the strength she was exerting. Veins started popping out on her hand.
Ye Jian raised her eyebrows. She didn’t say anything. She used her attitude as a reply.
Ye Ying was still the same. However, her speaking skills improved.
If she was a girl that left her home and never contacted anyone in her family for a year, it meant that she was a problematic child.
Would a problematic child be a good student? No way!
Look at how evil she was.
Most importantly, she managed to explain why she lost control of her emotions while harming her.
Her speaking skills really improved.
Ye Ying might be able to fool her classmates but she couldn’t fool Mrs. Tong.
By now, Mrs. Tong understood why Principal Cao wanted to place Ye Jian in Class Six at the start.
So this was the reason.
It was a forced explanation but most people would believe it. What she shouldn’t do was... she shouldn’t talk bad about her own classmates, especially her older sister.
Mrs. Tong had a bad first impression of Ye Ying.
She pushed her glasses. She didn’t look at Ye Ying but smiled and Ye Jian and said, “Please introduce yourself first.”
She noticed that Ye Jian was still smiling. She didn’t get flustered by the sudden change. Even her expression was still the same. Mrs. Tong smiled slightly. Ye Jian was a smart person. She should understand what Ye Ying was trying to do.
She didn’t confront Ye Ying directly but replied to her with a smile. Sometimes, a smile was a good weapon. It represented forgiveness as well as a person’s character and upbringing.
Mrs. Tong added, “I believe that many students are willing to interact with you.” This sentence represented her stand. It meant that she supported Ye Jian.
The number of students who understood her intention we’re unclear but Ye Ying and Ye Jian understood her.
Ye Ying bit her lips in frustration. She tried her best to calm down as she sat down slowly. She never looked at the podium again.
She was contemplating how she should regain her reputation.
On the podium, Ye Jian smiled brightly. Her smile was pretty and enchanting. “Hello, everyone. My name is Ye Jian. I’m a transfer student. I took one year’s leave from school. After taking the senior high school entrance exam, I managed to enter Provincial No.1 Middle School again. Because of my age, the school decided to put me into year two.”
She made a joke and it lightened the heavy atmosphere. An Jiaxin and a few students laughed. The class turned lively again.
“It’s my honor to come to Class One and be in the same class as all the elites. Please take care of me. Thank you.”
It was a simple introduction but she mentioned a few important things. First, she took leave from school for one year. Second, she participated in the senior high school entrance exam this year. Third, she jumped levels.
