That morning’s incident passed, and Gu Lingling suppressed her doubts and walked out with Wen Jing.
As soon as they reached the ground floor, they ran into Xiao Man, who was also heading to class. Upon seeing Gu Lingling, Xiao Man scoffed and turned her head away.
Wen Jing wanted to say something but was held back by Gu Lingling.
The best way to deal with people like that is to ignore them.
Who knew as they reached the classroom, Gu Lingling was about to sit down when Xiao Man pushed her, saying, "Sorry, this seat is already taken by me."
With that, she threw her backpack onto the desk and looked provocatively at Gu Lingling.
"Are you blind or what?" Wen Jing, with her fiery temper, got angry instantly, "Didn’t you see we were about to sit down?"
Thankfully Gu Lingling reacted quickly and grabbed onto the desk behind her, or she would have surely fallen.
"What’s it to you, meddling without cause," Xiao Man retorted, rolling her eyes.
"Let it be," Gu Lingling smiled and shook her head at Wen Jing, "Don’t stoop to the level of an animal."
"Who are you calling an animal?" Xiao Man stood up angrily.
"Whoever speaks is the one," Gu Lingling mocked.
What does it matter if she snatches a seat?
Moreover, the classroom was now filled with students, and everyone knew who was right or wrong.
She pulled Wen Jing to sit at the last row.
"The more you act like this, the more pride she takes," Wen Jing said angrily.
"Class is about to start; we can’t let a seating issue disrupt the lesson for everyone," Gu Lingling whispered.
Though her voice was low, the classroom was small, so many heard her.
"You!" Wen Jing glared playfully at Gu Lingling’s expression, "I heard today’s teacher is the youngest and most handsome teacher in our school."
"Was it Zhaodi gossiping again?" Gu Lingling chuckled.
Just as they were talking, a man walked up to the podium.
He was indeed quite handsome!
"Hello everyone, my name is Meng Qinghao," Meng Qinghao introduced himself on stage, while Wen Jing continued whispering to her, "This Mr. Meng is the brother of our new student representative Meng Yufei, truly siblings."
"What did this family eat, to grow up so well," Wen Jing said enviously.
During the last opening ceremony, the distance was too far to see Meng Qinghao clearly, but now upon closer look, indeed impressive, clearly a well-educated person.
"This student, yes, you—could you come up and help me with something?" As the two were whispering, Meng Qinghao’s voice came from the podium.
Gu Lingling glanced up, and it was indeed herself being pointed at.
She walked to the platform, bewildered, and the first thing she saw was Xiao Man’s smug face.
"I need someone to try out your spoken language skills, you just perform as you normally would," Meng Qinghao said with a calm smile.
Gu Lingling nodded.
Xiao Man told the person next to her arrogantly, "If she can’t say a word, it’ll be humiliating, shameless."
Meng Qinghao’s expression remained unchanged, "Then I also invite you to come up; once she’s done, it’ll be your turn."
Faced with such public doubt, Meng Qinghao did not get angry; instead, he smiled at everyone, "Anyone else who wants to come up is welcome."
Xiao Man stood up defiantly and walked up, glaring at Gu Lingling.
Gu Lingling, "..."
Spoken language, huh?
Gu Lingling’s lips curved slightly up.
