Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Switching Places (2)

The arrogance could almost lead into a showdown with whoever opposed Jiaojiao the next moment.

Xu Jie dared to bully Yang Xiaona because she knew Xiaona was poor and lacked any connections.

But when facing Ruan Jiaojiao and Lu Zishu, or even Xiu Xi, where would she find the courage? She just stood there, a bit stunned and helpless.

Everyone knew Ruan Jiaojiao came from a good family, wealthy, and her mother was a senior year teacher; Lu Zishu also had a good family background, rumored to have connections higher up, and he was anything but low-key, almost to the point of arrogance. As for Xiu Xi, there wasn’t any known background, but one look from the class monitor was enough to scare someone stiff.

Now, no one who had spoken before dared to make a sound.

Yang Men, sitting at the fourth desk of the second group, seeing the classroom’s situation, her eyes flickered as she said, “Ruan Jiaojiao, no one said anything much; they just raised a bit of suspicion without harming Yang Xiaona. Why are you being so relentless?”

“Just raised a bit of suspicion?” Ruan Jiaojiao scoffed coldly, her feigned solemnity quite convincing: “Then can I suspect you of stealing my stuff?”

“Ruan Jiaojiao, don’t slander me, that’s defamation!” At these words, Yang Men instantly exploded.

“Ha.” Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at her lightly, sarcastically: “Feelings aren’t hurt when it’s not happening to you, huh?”

“What do you mean!”

“Calling you an idiot!” Lu Zishu rolled his eyes in exasperation: “Those who paid the school building fund to get in are indeed different from those of us who passed the exams.”

Ruan Jiaojiao and the others attended City No. 1 High School, a key high school.

There were two types of students admitted: those who passed the exams and those who paid the ‘school building fund’ to get in.

The term ‘school building fund’ was just a nice way of putting it. Honestly, it meant that their scores didn’t meet the criteria, so they paid a fee to get in through the back door.

Each year, the school allocated a portion of quotas for students entering through the back door.

Yang Men was evidently one of those students.

“Pfft.” No one knew who it was, but someone suddenly burst into laughter, followed by waves of ridicule.

Students who got into City No. 1 High were generally top students from every middle school, carrying a natural pride, and they looked down upon ‘building fund students’ to some degree.

Now, it didn’t really matter whether Yang Men understood Ruan Jiaojiao’s words, as it didn’t stop them from laughing at her.

Yang Men was so angry her face turned nearly blue, glaring at Ruan Jiaojiao with intense hatred. If it weren’t for the people beside and behind her acting as shields, she really would have charged at Jiaojiao for a fight.

“What’s going on, from downstairs it’s our class that’s the loudest, are you trying to lift the classroom with the noise?” Just as Yang Men was about to lose her temper, a familiar voice came from outside.

The homeroom teacher entered, glaring eyes with a notebook tucked under his arm. He walked to the podium, tossed the notebook onto the desk, and continued, “Out of all the classes I’ve taught over the years, yours is the noisiest! Most outrageous! Go out and listen, is there any class like yours?!”

“Or should I just give you a lesson’s time to let you have a proper shout? Huh?”

After finishing, he fixed his gaze on the standing figures of Ruan Jiaojiao, Lu Zishu, Yang Men, Yang Xiaona, and Xu Jie.

“What’s going on with you all?”

The moment the homeroom teacher asked, Xu Jie immediately burst into tears before saying a word, “Teacher, I want to change my seat.”
