Chapter 316: Xia Wan is Not Easy to Bully

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Wan nodded in agreement, showing no signs of objection.

Upon reaching the cla.s.sroom, most of the students were already seated.

When Xia Wan and the others approached, someone approached and inquired,

I heard that you guys had an altercation with Li Pan after school. Some even claimed to have seen you at the princ.i.p.als office entrance. What exactly transpired?

Though the others didnt approach directly, their curious glances were fixed on Xia Wan. Evidently, they were quite intrigued by the situation.

Coincidentally, at that moment, Li Pan hurried back. She exclaimed, Whats it to you? Mind your own business. Have you mastered every subject? She was only here to meddle in other peoples affairs.

Despite their discontent with Li Pans outburst, the students refrained from asking further questions. They maintained a composed facade, but as they lowered their heads, hushed conversations between them revealed their wonder at Li Pans unusual ferocity.

As Li Pan walked past Xia Wans desk, she cast a lingering glance. However, following the incident at the princ.i.p.als office, Li Pan refrained from openly causing trouble for Xia Wan.

She still had 2000 words to write!

Later in the afternoon, she was summoned by Li Hong for a stern scolding.

Li Hong chastised her for bullying her cla.s.smate and then complaining about it, an act that had made Li Hong lose face.

Li Pan was well aware that Li Hong was venting her frustration due to the embarra.s.sment she faced in front of the princ.i.p.al.

Yet, she remained unconvinced. In order to earn Li Hongs favor, her father would bring back the trendiest clothes and various imported snacks whenever he returned from his travels in a sports car.

Despite Li Hong being a soph.o.m.ore, she was frequently the subject of discussions about her fas.h.i.+onable attire. This was a source of great pride for her.

However, Li Hongs family background was quite modest. Her husband was also a teacher, and their combined income was not substantial. It barely sufficed for her lavish wardrobe.

In essence, Li Hongs pride was a product of her fathers generosity. Her father only wished for Li Hong to be taken care of while in school.

Hence, Li Pan never felt indebted to Li Hong in any way. Since Li Hong had benefited from her familys resources, it was only fitting that she took care of her.

Now, merely due to her own misdeeds, which had caused Li Hong to lose face in front of the princ.i.p.al, Li Hong dared to reprimand her in such a manner.

Li Pans annoyance extended not only towards Xia Wan but also towards Li Hong.

Furthermore, after this incident, Li Pan realized that the person her father should have shown grat.i.tude to was her homeroom teacher, Jiang Rong.

In reality, the distinction between relatives and strangers was negligible.

Everyone acted in their own interest.

Contemplating this, Li Pan began composing a self-reflection letter.

Following cla.s.s, Li Pan completed her self-reflection letter. She cast a lingering gaze at Xia Wan before heading to the office.

Standing before Jiang Rong, Li Pan feigned remorse, bowing her head as she handed over her reflection letter.

Teacher, I genuinely recognize my mistake. Ive decided to emulate Xia Wans dedication to studies. I implore Teacher to grant me another opportunity.

Jiang Rong accepted Li Pans reflection letter. Her penmans.h.i.+p was neat, ant Jiang Rong sensed her sincerity, uttering a few encouraging words before returning the letter.

Back in the cla.s.sroom, Li Pan reclaimed her seat and periodically glanced at Xia Wan. It struck her that Xia Wan appeared truly engrossed in her studies.

Puzzled, she felt a tinge of rivalry.

Teachers favored diligent students. Xia Wans unwavering focus on her studies set her apart. In response, Li Pan resolved to work diligently and surpa.s.s Xia Wan.

Yet, Li Pan realized too hastily, for the subject at hand was Mathematics.

She comprehended her error. The teachers pace of instruction wasnt swift, but Li Pan found herself unable to grasp the concepts. Some of the formulas taught were introduced during her freshman year, but she had since ceased her study of them.

Math teacher, Cheng Ya, surveyed the cla.s.s. Is there anything unclear to anyone?

Li Pan found herself bewildered, yet embarra.s.sment hindered her from raising her hand. She surveyed her peers, hoping someone would take the initiative.

Normally, in a cla.s.s, a few earnest but struggling students would raise their hands, hoping for a recap from the teacher.

However, this time, no one volunteered.

Cheng Ya nodded in approval. Seems like everyone is following along well.

Your progress during this period has been commendable. Lets proceed to the next problem..
