Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 88:

Chapter 88: Why Did Lu Ning Score So Well?

Lu Ning’s words hit straight to the heart. The room instantly fell silent, everyone staring at Lu Ning in shock. As expected of their idol!

Qin Xiang’s face flushed red with anger and her eyes quickly filled with tears as she pitifully said, “Ningning, I was just trying to comfort you. I didn’t mean anything else.”

Little follower number two protested indignantly, “Lu Ning, don’t be ungrateful. So what if you did a little better on the exam? If you have the ability, show us by becoming the top scorer in the city! What’s there to brag about?”

Some of the boys who liked Qin Xiang chimed in, “Lu Ning, your grades are good and you play games well too, but you shouldn’t mock others like this. Qin Xiang was just being kind.”

Lu Ning sneered, “That’s just how I am. I don’t need her kindness.”

Qin Xiang sniffled, “Everyone, don’t argue because of me. I understand that Ningning is upset about not doing well. I totally understand.”

Jiang Lu was furious, “Understand my ass. Stop pretending to be kind! When Lu Ning had problems with her stationery, I’m sure you had something to do with it!”

It was widely rumored that a top student had messed up on the language exam, leading to a poor overall performance. Qin Xiang had mentioned Lu Ning’s stationery issues, and Jiang Lu suspected Qin Xiang was behind it.

Qin Xiang put on an innocent face, “Class monitor, what you’re saying is hurtful. I didn’t prepare Lu Ning’s stationery. If there was a problem, it must have been bad luck.”

Serves Lu Ning right for doing poorly. As long as Lu Ning didn’t score well, Qin Xiang felt relieved.

Lu Ning chuckled coldly, “Who told you I didn’t do well?”

She hadn’t intended to show off, but seeing the white lotus attack the class monitor was too much.

Qin Xiang was surprised, “Lu Ning, stop forcing it. We all know.”

Little follower number two pressed, “If you did so well, Lu Ning, how many points did you score?”

Lu Ning lifted her eyelids lazily, “I don’t know.”

“Tsk, pretending not to know? The scores are already out.”

Class monitor Jiang Lu looked surprised, “There’s one other possibility—you don’t know your score because it was hidden.”

Lu Ning leaned casually against the table, looking completely calm.

Qin Xiang glanced nervously at Lu Ning, feeling uneasy. No way, Lu Ning had to be lying.

Little follower number two also didn’t believe it, “Lu Ning’s just putting on a front. No one knows her actual score.”

Qin Xiang thought the same but looking at Lu Ning’s calm demeanor, she wasn’t so sure.

Qin Xiang tentatively said, “Ningning, I know you worked hard these past few months and improved a lot, but good grades aren’t everything. You don’t have to lie.”

Just as Qin Xiang finished speaking, the class monitor shot back, “Qin Xiang, are you jealous? Everyone saw Lu Ning’s capabilities. Maybe she performed exceptionally and had her score hidden. It’s possible.”

Little follower number two countered, “But we’ve all seen Lu Ning’s usual scores. How could she suddenly do so well and even make it into the city’s top 50?”

Most people present didn’t really believe it.

At that moment, the homeroom teacher walked in beaming, “Everyone’s here, right? Today I’m treating you all to celebrate the top scorer of the city from our class.”

As soon as the words came out, the classroom exploded.

“Oh my god, the city’s top scorer is from our class?”

“It’s been years since our school had a top scorer! Who could it be?”

The homeroom teacher deliberately teased them, “Why don’t you all guess who the top scorer is?”

Qin Xiang quickly spoke up, “It must be our class’s academic committee member.”

“Yeah, if it’s the top scorer, it must be him. His grades have always been in the top three of the entire grade.”

At this moment, the academic committee member stood up, “It’s not me.”

“How’s that possible? If not him, who else could it be?”

Seeing that even reporters had arrived, the homeroom teacher finally announced, “It’s Lu Ning.”

The classroom fell into stunned silence.

Then Jiang Lu was the first to scream, “Our idol is the top scorer! You’re amazing!”

The rest of the students were dumbfounded. They had guessed so many names but never thought it would be Lu Ning.

Qin Xiang was completely stunned. How could it be? Lu Ning was the top scorer?

The news felt worse than death to Qin Xiang.

Jiang Lu glanced at Qin Xiang and little follower number two, “Hmph! Just now, weren’t some people shamelessly comforting our city’s top scorer, saying they’d accompany her to repeat a year? What a joke! How dare you think you’re qualified to repeat with the top scorer?”

“Class monitor, stop it! This is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Yeah, a total slacker comforting the city’s top scorer, saying she’d accompany her to repeat. Where did she get that courage?”

Qin Xiang’s expression was as ugly as if she had swallowed dung. These words felt like slaps landing hard on her face.

Little follower number two screamed hysterically, “How could Lu Ning be the top scorer? There must be something wrong with the scores. Otherwise, she must have cheated.”

Qin Xiang also thought so. How could Lu Ning possibly become the top scorer?

The homeroom teacher immediately turned cold, staring at them, “What’s wrong with you two? Lu Ning’s progress is clear to everyone. She performed exceptionally and became the dark horse. As her classmates and family, instead of being happy for her, you question her? Is this what I’ve been teaching you?”

Qin Xiang’s eyes turned red, but no one came to comfort her. Everyone was busy discussing Lu Ning being the top scorer.

At that moment, reporters walked over with the principal and the director of academic affairs.

The principal was a kind old man. He looked at Lu Ning with a pleased expression, “I didn’t expect you to do so well this time.”

Lu Ning smiled at him, “Thank you for the stationery you sent me back then.”

If the principal hadn’t delivered a good set of stationery in time, her language score would have been affected.

The previous stationery produced unclear handwriting and even leaked ink, which would have led to point deductions for dirtying the answer sheet.

“I was just following school policy. It’s your own ability that earned you the top spot.”

A reporter stepped forward, putting the microphone in front of Lu Ning, “Lu Ning, in the last few months your grades improved dramatically, earning you first place in the city. Surely you had support and help along the way. Who do you want to thank the most?”
