Chapter 36 - The Poor Childhood Sweetheart's Counter Attack (9)

There are surveillance cameras in front of each classroom, which will be turned on during the exam, so there was no cheating at all. That’s why no one questioned Xu Zifan’s results, just amazed and shocked. What is it like to go from the bottom of the list, to the top of the class in a month? Did he exchange brains?!

The teacher praised Xu Zifan strongly in the class, even the principal knew about the student who had made great progress. He asked him to share his learning experience in public at the morning assembly and inspire the students.

At the morning assembly, Xu Zifan graciously walked up to the podium, hugged eight notebooks and said, “Hello, everyone. I did well in the monthly exam, Xu Zifan, Class 3, Grade 3, but there isn’t any secret to it. My method is to race against the clock to maximize the efficiency of my study. I study until 2 o’clock in the morning, get up at 5 in the morning, do exercises after class, memorize English words and Chinese texts silently on my way to and from school, without wasting any time. However, I do morning exercises every day, and my mother makes soup to replenish my body every night, and my willpower is strong enough to stick to it like this. You can refer to it, but it’s not recommended by the school. It is not good to tire out your body, it may lead to weariness.

In addition, the students who know me all know that my foundation is very poor, so I began to review my textbooks from the first grade of primary school. Self-study, and then find a tutor for the things that I don’t understand with self-study. These on my hand are all the notes I have made during this period of time, which could be regarded as the sum of the important knowledge points of various subjects, as well as a very thick book of mistakes I made in those questions. If any student needs to borrow a photocopy for review materials, of course, this is the material I summed up with hard work. I think it is no worse than the materials bought in the bookstores. So, I will charge some fees appropriately.”

When he saw that the face of the principal next to him had changed, many of the students below began to cheer and smiled calmly: “Although I want to help my classmates selflessly, I think it is more meaningful to earn some pocket money and lighten the burden on my parents when I reach the age of 18. In this way, you don’t have to owe me a favor when you buy the information, and it’s more comfortable to use it, isn’t it?”

The students watched the hustle and bustle and shouted in unison, “Yes!”

Xu Zifan smiled and nodded, “Everyone who works hard and studies hard is to be commended, and fair trade is much more noble than asking for free. I hope the students don’t think I’m money oriented. After we enter society, this would just be a trivial matter. Of course, we’re still good classmates. With the friendship relations with classmates, the price of my information will be relatively low. Usually, if a classmate asks me a question, I will try my best to help answer it, and there will certainly be no charge. Thank you!”

The students cheered and applauded again. Xu Zifan bowed, returned the microphone to the principal, smiled and nodded to him, and returned to his class queue. The principal smiled and encouraged everyone, and as soon as they were dismissed, he wanted to tell the head teacher of Class three to call Xu Zifan to the office. But how could he possibly have anything to say about Xu Zifan? When Xu Zifan left, he even thought that not giving Xu Zifan money was taking advantage of him and squeezing him for his hard work. The principal shook his head and asked the head teacher of each class to keep an eye on the students. Xu Zifan said that the materials sold were outside of the school grounds, and it really had nothing to do with the school. Anyone who wanted to buy materials could be regarded as buying materials from a bookstore, which might be really useful.

When Xu Zifan came back from the assembly, he met Ji Yuxin. In the hallway Ji Yuxin instantly stared at him. She glanced at him with disdain and said in a moderate tone, “aren’t you ashamed of yourself, Xu Zifan? Did the lack of money make you crazy? There are so many people who study well, I don’t see anyone else taking notes to make money.”

Xu Zifan stopped and looked up and down at her, regardless of whether there were two female classmates beside her and directly said, “what’s the shame of making money by your own ability? Is it honorable to spend money given by others? It’s better to abandon morality than suffer poverty, right? By the way, how much did you score this time? If you have transferred to Class one, your grades must have improved a lot…”

Ji Yuxin’s face was even darker. She hasn’t studied much since she was with Li Xudong. The decline in the last monthly exam wasn’t obvious. This time, she only scored 536 points in the exam, not even as good as the Xu Zifan. She was second from the bottom of the class. Li Xudong was the last, which was really embarrassing at the moment.

She spoke angrily: “Academic achievement can’t represent everything. After graduation, their achievements won’t count as success.”

Xu Zifan shrugged. “Ancestor’s possessions don’t represent everything. Who knows if they will be ruined by a good-for-nothing? Also, I’ve laid down a line between you and me. It’s better to stay as strangers in the future. Remember, don’t stop me just to say such ridiculous things. I have nothing to do with you.”

Xu Zifan said so and left. Ji Yuxin was so angry that she couldn’t stop him anymore. She felt that some people had already started to look at her in the hallway. In a moment of shame, she turned and ran out.

The female classmates that was her shouted, “it’s time for class soon. Where are you going, Yuxin?”

Ji Yuxin ran away without answering. The two girls looked at each other and whispered as they walked into class. “What did Xu Zifan mean by that just now? What did he mean by: better to abandon morality than suffer poverty, spend other people’s money, and what ancestor’s possessions? And about laying down a line between them, have they been in a relationship before?”

“I heard that Ji Yuxin and Xu Zifan used to be desk mates for three years, and some people have seen Xu Zifan pedaling a bike to carry Ji Yuxin around. Is it possible that Ji Yuxin dumped Xu Zifan for Li Xudong, and that’s why Xu Zifan was so angry? Well. Ji Yuxin had become so rich, is it because of the money that Li Xudong gave her?”

The two gasped at the same time, this kind of thing was beyond their understanding. Although they were close to Ji Yuxin, and they could get advantages, but if Ji Yuxin really spends Li Xudong’s money, they still couldn’t accept it. Isn’t that ‘being kept’? The two didn’t dare to say anything more when they returned to class, but several girls who were close to them still learned some ‘truth’ from them.

Ji Yuxin ran to the shade of the playground, sat on the ground and tugged at a few grasses to vent her anger. Li Xudong came out to look for her, narrowed his eyes, looked at her and said, “I heard you quarreled with Xu Zifan just now? What was that? Can’t forget your childhood fiancé?”

Ji Yuxin frowned, glared at him and said, “what are you talking about? I told you I didn’t like him, and it was all his wishful thinking. I was just angry that he made a mess when my parents recognized me. I wanted to say a few words against him. Who knew he would bite and had a sharp mouth, and he pisses me off!”

Li Xudong scoffed. “Why are you so angry with that kind of guy? If you don’t like it, you just have to find someone to teach him a lesson, why do you have to do it yourself? Depreciating yourself. By the way, you skipped class anyway, so why don’t we go to the clubhouse to play? My buddies are all there. It seems that Wang Liqiang has found a new girl and is going to show her to everyone today.”

Ji Yuxin laughed as soon as she heard that he was going out to play, got up and took him by the hand and said, “okay, his new date must be prettier than the last one. You can’t look any more. You can only play with me later.”

“All right, my lady, let’s go.” Li Xudong replied with his mouth, but he didn’t take it seriously. This woman used to be obedient to him, but she has been wavering since she returned to Yan’s. But it doesn’t matter, he is her first man, and she obviously has feelings for him. How proud was he to find such a thing? That is, his father said that the Yan family was a very good marriage target, if they could be together, they should stay together.

In fact, this is what he thought about while pursuing Yan Yaru in the past. The Yan family of this province was better than his family. Of course, it is best to take the daughter of the Yan family as a wife. But Yan Yaru didn’t give him face, so he simply trampled Yan Yaru into the mire. Now Ji Yuxin had become the daughter of the Yan family, and she won’t even let the Yan couple break them up. What else is there to look for. It’s just a wife, anyway, if he wanted other girls, he just had to keep it a secret from her in the future. He taught her all the things in the circle, and he introduced all his friends. It wasn’t easy for him to hide something from her.

When the two entered the clubhouse, many people were in the private box already. Five of them were Li Xudong’s friends, and the rest were the ‘friends’ they brought to play with. At a glance, Ji Yuxin saw the girl beside Wang Liqiang, with long black hair, a delicate and beautiful face and a white dress. She thought of the word ‘pure school beauty’ at a glance. The girl was a little restrained, and her eyes were afraid to look at them. It was mostly Wang Liqiang who spoke to her. She only answered a few words for fear of saying something wrong, but she had a bit of pride in her bones, trying to show that she was not that kind of casual girl.

For a moment, Ji Yuxin saw who she used to be. This was what she looked like when she first came to the clubhouse with Li Xudong. Looking at other people’s famous brands, she heard that a watch was worth millions and a bottle of wine costs 20,000 yuan. She was almost too scared to move because she was afraid to damage things, and she couldn’t afford to pay for it. Then the more she went to these kinds of places with Li Xudong, the more she marveled that the world of the rich was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After she had eaten a Tomahawk-steak worth 800 yuan, she couldn’t eat the Beef brisket with tomatoes made by Mother Ji when she got home. She wore 3,000-yuan sandals. When she got home, she was afraid that her parents would see her, so she had to change back to her 200-yuan sneakers. She didn’t know why, but she felt it was very uncomfortable. Li Xudong bought her a diamond necklaces worth over 50,000 yuan. When she went home, she looked at the silver accessories worth hundreds that Mother Ji bought for her, and suddenly felt so poor. In the face of Li Xudong’s friends, she felt more and more inferior and out of place. It pained her to know that she didn’t have a good birthright.

Fortunately, Li Xudong liked her, treats her well, teaches her a lot of things, takes her out to play every day, and spends so much money on her. Although Li Xudong didn’t introduce her to his friends at first, they still became a couple, and his friends began to call her sister-in-law, and she finally integrated into their circle.

Ji Yuxin tasted the wine glass gracefully and glanced at the pure school beauty with a sense of superiority. She used to feel very self-abased in this circle. When she came home, she felt suffocated when she heard Mother Ji say that the price of some food had gone up again. She was angry with them. Why couldn’t they make progress, earn more money, and make her into a rich second generation. At that time, she would even dream of getting rich overnight, and she no longer had to adjust her behavior for these people anymore.

At that time, she was afraid of her change and panicked about the future, but she was now elated because she is a rich second generation. Her biological parents are the richest in the province, and she is now richer than anyone else in this private box. Not only does she not have to worry about Li Xudong turning away, but she can also openly fall in love with Li Xudong and even get married. As for her parents’ saying that Li Xudong was unreliable, she scoffed. Li Xudong didn’t dislike her when she had nothing, and brought her around every day to help her recognize her parents. Now that she has a noble status, Li Xudong would certainly treat her better. This is her first man, and the man who pulled her from the bottom into the upper class. As they are now, they would be very happy in the future.

If she has any dissatisfaction with her current life, it was that Father and Mother Yan were still very cold to her, didn’t give her a party to formally disclose their identity, and those noble daughters didn’t like playing with her, which seemed to exclude her a little. She wondered what Yan Yaru had said to them. After all, they were all friends of Yan Yaru before, weren’t they? Fortunately, Li Xudong’s friends where there, and it wasn’t difficult to find someone to play with.

She wanted to make some trouble for Yan Yaru, but the Ji couple actually got along well with Yan Yaru, and Xu Zifan talked and laughed with Yan Yaru every day. These people originally talked about how good they were to her, but now, haven’t they changed at a moment’s notice? Indeed, as expected, Li Xudong was right. The relationship between people changes, blood ties becoming enmity was nothing new. She had seen couples who hurt each other in the news. The only reliable relationship is an interest based one. She has enough confidence now and will only have more and more in the future.
