From-DIDIDA Novels
There were endless new versions of the rumors about Mo Zhu in Jingyang High School now.
Due to the huge commotion caused by the annihilation of the Du family, they occupied the headlines for three days.
In addition, previously, Mo Zhu was the only public enemy Du Wei had made in school, and coincidentally, Mo Zhu had applied for a week’s sick leave. Therefore, everyone who was unaware of the situation in school was guessing whether the Huo family was the culprit behind the Du family’s disaster.
Only Jiang Xun knew some inaccurate information that others weren’t aware of. However, because Jiang Yan had instructed him in advance, Jiang Xun kept his mouth very tightly shut. No matter who asked, he would respond with a blank expression, showing that he didn’t know the truth.
On this day, Mo Zhu finally arrived at school. The moment the girl stepped into Class Eight, everyone rushed up almost instantly, surrounding the path leading to her seat.
“Hurry up and ask what you want. I will only allow three questions!” Mo Zhu pinched her eyebrows and said impatiently.
“Sister Mo, Sister Mo, does the Du family’s annihilation have anything to do with you?”
The first to speak was Zhang Qi. He was famous for being a nosy person and he was extraordinarily curious.
Nodding calmly, Mo Zhu did not answer him directly. “The second one?”
“Let me do it, let me do it!” Meng Ran ran over from her seat. As she was far away, she was squeezed at the back by everyone. At this moment, she was trying her best to pull the few people in front of her away with the intention of rushing to the front.
“Sister Mo! You took a week off. Are you sick?”
Upon hearing Meng Ran’s question, everyone turned to glance at her speechlessly. How can she ask such an obvious question and use up one precious question? Meng Ran was indeed as dull as ever.
Mo Zhu looked at Meng Ran, who looked worried. She smiled and touched the girl’s face. “I’m not sick. It’s my grandmother. I took care of her in the hospital for a few days.”
Although Mo Zhu’s answer was not very accurate, at least she was not lying. Zhang Fen had indeed fallen ill from fright for a few days. Mo Zhu had also taken care of her grandmother for a week in the hospital. However, she had omitted some things that everyone did not need to know.
“Let me be the last one. Sister Mo, was the Huo family the one who fought against the Du family this time?” Li Shen raised his hand and asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
Gently tugging at the strap of her bag, Mo Zhu reached out a finger and shook it playfully. “You guessed wrong, it’s not.”
With a relaxed smile, Mo Zhu walked around everyone and returned to her seat.
The third period in the morning was physics. The moment Duan Xu entered Class Eight, the students welcomed him with excited expressions.
Seeing that the teacher was already prepared for class, Jiang Xun stood up on behalf of the entire Class Eight and asked, “Teacher Duan, I heard that the school will arrange for the third year to visit Cloud City’s Technology Museum next week. Is this true?”
Duan Xu scratched his head in embarrassment. He stood on the podium and said in a low voice, “Originally, this was how the school had decided. However, there seem to be fewer spots this year than last year, so the school has decided to only let the first seven classes take turns to visit…”
Once the man finished speaking, the entire classroom of Class Eight instantly erupted into chaos. One after another, complaints came from the students.
“How can the school arrange this! Even if our Class Eight’s results aren’t as outstanding as the first seven, they can’t deprive us of the right to explore science!”
“Yes, yes! It’s not like our class doesn’t have students who have outstanding results. Meng Ran’s results are still above the average of the whole cohort. Sister Mo even got first place in Physics. Why are we the only ones who are not qualified to go?”
“I don’t agree. This is blatant discrimination! Discriminating against us students who have poor grades!”
Mo Zhu was in a daze and sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by the aggressive voices of her classmates beside her.
She sat up and rubbed her ears which felt uncomfortable silently. In a few minutes, she figured out what had happened.
At this moment, Duan Xu, who was standing on the podium, was also at a loss. He wasn’t the one who had issued the notice. Even though he knew that this wasn’t good and would affect the enthusiasm of Class Eight, he was just a mere physics teacher. He had no say in this matter.
“Don’t worry, students. After class, I’ll mention this matter to the Physics Department again. Who knows, there might be more places released.” Duan Xu rubbed his temples, trying to calm the students of Class Eight.
However, these comforting words did not have much effect. Even Meng Ran, who was sitting beside Mo Zhu, was depressed. “It wasn’t easy for us to get the chance to visit the Technology Museum. I didn’t expect that we wouldn’t be able to go because of our bad grades…”
Seeing that the girl’s eyes were already glistening with tears, Mo Zhu sighed helplessly and asked, “Do you really want to go to that lousy Technology Museum so badly?”
When she heard Mo Zhu describe Cloud City’s Technology Museum in this way, Meng Ran retorted agitatedly, “Sister Mo, how can you say that? Cloud City’s Technology Museum is the most famous Technology Museum in the country. Beijing does not even have some of the advanced equipment we have in ours!”
