Han Ning cleared his throat, “Don’t overthink it for now, just watch the forum. There might be a tough battle to fight soon.”
“We won’t have to without Han Ning,” Huang Hao said, his voice tinged with loss.
Han Ning frowned, “What do you mean?”
Zhang Fu touched his face; the injuries that had marred it just two days ago were all gone now. He spoke quietly, “Cla.s.s 1 will no longer be a match for us. Ms. Seven has already taught Duan Shujie a lesson. If he wishes for peace for the Duan family, he shouldn’t provoke us again.”
“What happened?”
Han Ning was bewildered. He had only been grounded for two days and it seemed like he had missed out on some major developments. Zhang Fu simply explained everything that had happened, from being bullied in the cafeteria to the head of the Duan family begging for mercy from Rong Qi.
After hearing everything, Han Ning was equally stunned. He was surprised that Rong Qi was actually someone who could dominate one of the four great families in the capital. He struggled to find the right words, his emotions as complex as theirs.
From the first day of the semester, the Cla.s.s 7 students had only seen Rong Qi as Ms. Seven once, when they were framed for cheating. They never expected that the girl they thought was small and cold would turn out to be their instructor.
Han Ning said, “There’s a cla.s.s meeting later. Have you told your families not to come? After all, Ms. Seven doesn’t want us anymore.”
Someone whimpered, “Don’t talk about Seven like that. She’s not such an unfeeling person. There must be some special reason,”
Lu Qi had heard the “bad news” as soon as she arrived early in the morning. Her only friend at Capital University turned out to be her instructor. It was very heartbreaking for her.
Still, Lu Qi instinctively defended Rong Qi, “We’ve spent a semester with Seven. We can’t just deny the fact that we got along well with her because of our preconceptions when she was Ms. Seven. Have you forgotten how many times Seven stood up for us? She even bet 100,000 yuan for us in a wager with those spoiled brats from Cla.s.s 1.”
After Lu Qi finished, the others all looked down, embarra.s.sed.
Lu Qi continued, “You guys didn’t mention in the group that Seven was Ms. Seven, so my dad is still planning to come.”
Previously, because of the incident with Duan Shujie, some in Cla.s.s 7 had learned of Rong Qi’s ident.i.ty, but she had asked them not to publicize it, saying they would talk after the exams were over.
“I’m in the same boat; my family has already taken time to come. If Ms. Seven isn’t there for the cla.s.s meeting, I’ll get an earful when I get home,” someone else concurred.
“Let’s just wait and see. For now, there’s no sign of Ms. Seven at the Academic Affairs Office. Maybe she’s already left the country.”
“Left the country?”
“Yeah, isn’t she from the Perkston University in Merica? Maybe she went back there to teach or to do research. At least the students there are better than us. They don’t get into trouble as often and love to study more. They’re the kind of students every teacher likes…”
Silence filled the room again.
Around nine o’clock at Capital University, the campus began to bustle with activity. The students’ parents were rushing towards the cla.s.srooms. Some looked hurried, others impatient, and yet others had proud smiles plastered across their faces.
Rong Qi walked through the campus, observing the diverse expressions of the parents. She suddenly imagined the future scene of her own child going to university, and how she and Ye Nanshen would have to find time to attend parent-teacher meetings, a small smile playing on her lips.
She had already decided that when it was time for parent-teacher meetings for their child, she would play rock-paper-scissors with Ye Nanshen to decide who would go. That way, there would be no need to worry about it. However, it would be best if Ye Nanshen went instead. She didn’t like such occasions.
Rong Qi stepped into the Academic Affairs Office. The results were all in, and it was time for the final ranking. Once she signed off, the results could be released.
In the office, Qiu Yonggen and others were already growing impatient..
