Chapter 929

Chu Xiang didn’t submit her paper early either. After answering all the questions, she remained seated, carefully checking her answers. Sometimes she even made revisions, showing more diligence than anyone else.

After finishing several subjects, almost all of the classmates had a gloomy expression, except for Chu Xiang, who remained calm.

Yang Xueqing compared her answers with Chu Xiang and exclaimed, “It seems like you got many of them right. You must have done really well this time.”

Chu Xiang nodded. “I’ve been practicing so many questions every day, so I feel like I’ve seen some of the question types before. But my foundation isn’t solid enough, so I still need time to consolidate the knowledge points.”

“For you, that’s something you can easily catch up on,” Yang Xueqing smiled. “Fortunately, you fell into the water that day. Otherwise, if you had continued to be depressed and not focused on studying, it would have been a waste of your talent.”

Chu Xiang also showed a grateful expression. “You’re right. Actually, if a person doesn’t go through any major events, there will always be many things they can’t let go of. Now, I’ve truly become open-minded and happy every day. I want to earn more money, see a bigger world, and then help those in need. That’s my dream.”

“I believe in you. You can definitely achieve it. I feel like whatever you want to do, you can make it happen,” Yang Xueqing said with a smile.

Previously, when Chu Xiang said something, some people didn’t take it seriously. But now, without realizing it, everyone believed that what she said was true and that she could accomplish what she wanted. She gave people an incredibly reliable feeling.

Shao Yan quietly observed her as she pretended, without saying a word. When she turned around, he sent her a message on WeChat: [We’re about to have a short vacation. Shall we go on a trip? I’ll accompany you to see the bigger world, no need to wait for the future.]

[Sure, I haven’t used the card given by Dad Shao and Mommy Shao yet, so we can go wherever we want.] Chu Xiang completely bid farewell to the Chu family, so of course, anywhere would do.

Others also asked her what she planned to do during the short vacation, and she simply said she wanted to travel around, explore business opportunities, and make some money. People didn’t pursue further questions, as they all knew that nobody was managing her now, and earning money was her top priority. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have the means to pay next semester’s tuition. Although she made 1 million yuan and repaid the Chu family through stock trading, who knew if she would lose it all one day? It was better not to hinder her and let her earn more money.

Just before the vacation, the exam results were released, claiming to give them a happy holiday if they performed well and a chance to make up for their deficiencies if they didn’t. So, amidst the lamentations of their classmates, the homeroom teacher shared the rankings of the entire grade in the class group.

Out of the 200 students in the entire grade, Chu Xiang ranked 68th. From being the last in the grade, she suddenly jumped more than a hundred places forward! The first two “Rocket” classes at the front had a total of 50 students, while Chu Xiang’s class was just an ordinary class, the first class of the regular classes, with 30 students. With this result, if there were any class reshuffling, she would be placed somewhere in the middle of their class.

Not only would she not be transferred to another class, but she also became an average student in her class. And in their class, being an average student meant being considered excellent in the entire grade!

Even more remarkable was Chu Xuan. She ranked 149th this time, dropping from her previous 77th place in the grade! In other words, not only was she assigned to an ordinary first class, but based on her performance, she was directly placed in an ordinary fourth class. There were only five ordinary classes in total, and she was almost at the bottom.

The “Chu sisters” seemed to have put a perfect end to the Chu family’s reputation with these results.

Good is rewarded, and evil is punished. Chu Xiang has successfully turned the tables and escaped from all those who harmed her. She has new friends, a new life, and it seems like she already has an incredibly bright future.

As for Chu Xuan, her true nature was exposed, and everyone despised her. She was kicked out of the Chu family, and her grades plummeted, resulting in her being placed in the fourth class. Mr. Chu said that he wouldn’t care about her anymore after another year. Unlike Chu Xiang, she didn’t have the ability to make money. If she didn’t get into a good university, she might lead an unremarkable life forever, right?

Such a contrast was truly satisfying, and some friends in the circle even wanted to host a celebration for Chu Xiang. However, she refused, citing the need to earn money and study during the vacation. Afterward, she returned to the Shao residence with Shao Yan.

Shao Yan was presently reticent at school, but privately he was becoming more and more accustomed to speaking. When Chu Xiang and him got into the car, she saw him exhale in relief and jokingly said, “Why are you so nervous? Afraid I won’t hang out with you during the vacation? The hotels for our trip are all booked.”

Shao Yan snorted lightly, “You’ve been busy during this time, one dinner after another, and so many groups of friends.”

“Well, who asked you not to come with me? If I want to successfully break free from the Chu family, I naturally have to lay a solid foundation. Look at how clean I am now. No one would think I owe anything to the Chu family. Instead, their reputation is in tatters, and everyone feels like they owe me a lot. This way, I’ll truly be free in the future. No one will morally manipulate me if anything happens.” Chu Xiang took out a small mirror and checked her appearance. The original body wasn’t in great health, and even after taking care of it for so many days, the snow-white complexion hadn’t fully recovered. She still needed to continue her efforts because the pursuit of beauty has no end.

Shao Yan naturally raised his hand to hold the mirror for her, allowing her to use both hands to tidy her hair. He said with a hint of concern, “I told you I could help you, but you insisted on doing it yourself.”

Chu Xiang smiled and said, “How could your help show how capable I am? Besides, didn’t you secretly set a trap for the Chen’s small company? I think it won’t be long before they go bankrupt and owe a large debt.”

Shao Yan averted his eyes uncomfortably. “You know about that?”

“Of course. Since they treated me that way, I definitely wanted to get revenge. But when I looked into it, I found out that someone had already taken care of it for me.” Chu Xiang put away the small mirror and playfully rubbed his face with her hand. “Thank you. You’re always so cold, and if it weren’t for you secretly causing trouble behind my back, I would have thought you were an ice cube!”

Shao Yan removed her hand, smiled at her, felt a slight stiffness on his face, and immediately adjusted his expression. He cleared his throat and said, “I’m practicing. I have many expressions.”

He turned to look out the window. Chu Xiang noticed his flushed ears and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Her desk mate was quite adorable too.
