Chapter 179 - After All, He Was A Teacher
s.h.i.+ Dawei almost vomited blood when he witnessed the sight.
He just knew s.h.i.+ Jin spelled trouble! He knew that there would be no peace for his cla.s.s, especially the boys!
He slammed the table hard. "What do you need to stand on your own two feet? As students, you need good grades. You need talent when you are out in society! How could you waste your time on shallow things all the time? Even if she looks good on the outside, it is all superficial, got it?"
Everyone in cla.s.s burst out laughing.
s.h.i.+ Jin opened her eyes and glanced at s.h.i.+ Dawei.
Despite the calmness in her eyes, she looked completely emotionless giving s.h.i.+ Dawei a slight shock. However, he never liked students like s.h.i.+ Jin, so he continued, "As for the newly transferred students, even if you are not interested in studying, you should at least not affect the other students! Cla.s.s will begin now!"
Everyone reluctantly turned their eyes away from her before they finally settled down and proceeded with cla.s.s.
People kept furtively stealing a glance at her, but s.h.i.+ Jin remained focused and paid no attention to them, so they veered their eyes after looking at her briefly..
s.h.i.+ Jin opened her textbook and glanced through its contents. In her past life, she was academically inclined and was a model student. However, the moment she found out she was swapped at birth, she lost focus. She was just a 12 year old kid and was naturally unable to absorb this. Hence, she was gradually distracted from her studies and her grades declined badly.
She kept coming in last in cla.s.s and kept repeating grade two cla.s.ses in an effort to avoid getting married to Fu Xiuyuan.
In her past life, she secretly learned a lot of skills to help her court Chu Ling. After she was deceived, she regretted her actions deeply and tried to pick up her studies once more. However, she could not escape her fate in her past life.
After she opened the textbooks, memories flooded her head and all the questions were summoned to mind.
She flipped open a test paper as s.h.i.+ Dawei went on with cla.s.s and quickly finished it. After she was done answering the test, she checked her answers and confirmed she had gotten everything right.
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled.
s.h.i.+ Dawei slammed the table hard when he caught sight of s.h.i.+ Jin doing something else. "s.h.i.+ Jin, this isn"t the entertainment industry and this isn"t your stage! Put aside your coquettish behavior this instant. If you are interested in my cla.s.s, you are welcome to listen. Otherwise, get out!"
Although he was unable to stop the princ.i.p.al from transferring s.h.i.+ Jin to his cla.s.s, he was certainly able to throw his temper on s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin stood up and said, "In that case, I will leave!"
"You! How dare you leave!" s.h.i.+ Dawei was infuriated.
"Didn"t you tell me to leave?"
"Very well! Then don"t bother coming to my cla.s.s from now on!"
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled. "As you wis.h.!.+"
The second year students had never encountered anything as exciting as this. They were so blown away by s.h.i.+ Jin"s words that their legs turned soft as they slammed the table and went into a commotion.
s.h.i.+ Dawei looked livid. Moments later, he finally got a handle on things.
After cla.s.s finally ended, the students from the other cla.s.ses swarmed over to see s.h.i.+ Jin face-off s.h.i.+ Dawei.
s.h.i.+ Dawei stormed into the princ.i.p.al"s office angrily. There was no way on earth s.h.i.+ Jin could remain in his cla.s.s!
He was so angry that he barged right in without even knocking and saw Princ.i.p.al Lu and s.h.i.+ Jin chatting inside.
"Princ.i.p.al Lu, s.h.i.+ Jin can"t stay in my cla.s.s!"
"Oh? Why so?" asked Princ.i.p.al Lu.
s.h.i.+ Dawei was furious. "The school is a place for learning, but s.h.i.+ Jin isn"t here to study! People like her will just lead the other students astray. We have to be fair to the other students!"
"Mr s.h.i.+, I told you. s.h.i.+ Jin is really serious about studying. Also, her test results turned out well." Princ.i.p.al Lu had communicated with Yao Jiahong and s.h.i.+ Jin previously and felt very impressed when he found out how serious s.h.i.+ Jin was about studying.
"Turned out well?" s.h.i.+ Dawei found this unbelievable.
She kept flunking her soph.o.m.ore year. How could she be capable of having good grades?
He glanced at Princ.i.p.al Lu before looking at s.h.i.+ Jin. Some men got obsessed with beautiful women and even Princ.i.p.al Lu fell prey to her!
This was giving the school a bad reputation.
Princ.i.p.al Lu could tell what s.h.i.+ Dawei was thinking, so he suppressed his anger as he said, "Don"t worry. s.h.i.+ Jin has already requested to get promoted to third year. I will arrange for her to take the test as soon as possible."
s.h.i.+ Dawei was stunned. Did s.h.i.+ Jin want to skip the second grade and move on to the third grade? Did she know that the college entrance exams were due in two months? She must be dreaming!
"That would be best! I don"t care where she goes as long as she does not hang around and affect my students," said s.h.i.+ Dawei harshly.
Princ.i.p.al Lu secretly shook his head and said nothing.
***
s.h.i.+ Jin was in the hospital feeding Old Master s.h.i.+ porridge.
His eyes were much better, but he remained weak after all the operations and medication he had to take.
Yu Xiuhua and s.h.i.+ Xuexin happened to walk right in.
Yu Xiuhua said, "s.h.i.+ Jin, why don"t you let us feed him? Now that you are finally here, I don"t want you getting exhausted from taking care of him."
She was clearly implying s.h.i.+ Jin never visited Old Master s.h.i.+.
Old Master s.h.i.+ sneered, "This is nothing. How could s.h.i.+ Jin get tired from feeding me?"
He knew best who cared about him and visited him the most.
Yu Xiuhua awkwardly took a step back after Old Master s.h.i.+ saw right through her schemes. She poured a gla.s.s of water and eventually said, "I heard s.h.i.+ Jin has already gone back to school. Since she was held up for such a long time, it is only natural that she is unable to keep up with the pace. Why don"t you let Xuexin help you with your studies? Although she is a uni soph.o.m.ore, I am sure she still remembers what she learned in high school, right?"
"Uh huh. I still remember my high school work." s.h.i.+ Xuexin nodded gently.
Although Old Master s.h.i.+ did not like Yu Xiuhua much, he was impressed by s.h.i.+ Xuexin. He looked at s.h.i.+ Jin and waited for her to answer, but noticed the mild expression on her face and quickly said, "I am sure the teachers are able to help s.h.i.+ Jin just fine, so there is no need to trouble Xuexin. Xuexin can focus on her school."
"I heard Mr s.h.i.+ threw a temper at s.h.i.+ Jin today. s.h.i.+ Jin, even if Mr s.h.i.+ did anything wrong, you should be more patient. After all, he is your teacher," said Yu Xiuhua enthusiastically to ensure Old Master s.h.i.+ knew about s.h.i.+ Jin"s situation at school.
Old Master s.h.i.+ said protectively, "If the teacher has to scold s.h.i.+ Jin, he must be in the wrong. I am tired, so you two can leave."
Yu Xiuhua had barely started the conversation when Old Master s.h.i.+ pretended to be exhausted and told them to leave. Even though she felt embarra.s.sed, she said, "In that case, you should get some rest. We will come back another time."
After Yu Xiuhua and s.h.i.+ Xuexin walked out of the hospital ward, Yu Xiuhua felt annoyed.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin said, "Mom, don"t be mad. Isn"t it better if we leave s.h.i.+ Jin to her own devices?"
