Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Was the One-Minute Effort All in Vain?
Although Zuzi rushed back to the exam hall at the last minute.
But was one minute really enough to answer the questions?
Everyone’s heart was tense with worry for her, yet Zuzi was seriously writing on the test paper and even took the time to remind Wu Qianman, who was about to submit her paper: "Don’t panic, check your multiple-choice questions again."
"Ring ring ring—" The end of the exam bell sounded.
Zuzi gracefully stood up and submitted her paper.
Wu Minghao sneaked a look: "Damn, the little Ancestor finished it all, and she’s writing even faster than I can fill out the answer sheet!"
Wu Qianman: "Luckily, Zuzi reminded me to check the multiple-choice questions. I found a misbehavior on the answer sheet, my God."
The invigilator’s lips twitched; he wanted to criticize but couldn’t find a fault.
The students spoke during the exam but didn’t give away any answers.
Students from East Sea Class gradually submitted their papers, and finally, the classroom door opened.
Nangong Meng, who was simmering with anger outside the door, couldn’t hold it anymore and erupted:
"So you’re Zuzi, right? What kind of heiress do you think you are? I looked it up, your dad Xi Yuanshan is just a chairman of a lousy company and he’s terminally ill. The company’s management rights aren’t even his anymore! How dare a nouveau riche from a small county call herself a lady in front of me, Nangong Meng?"
Zuzi responded with a dismissive smile and remained silent.
The Ancestor couldn’t be bothered to argue such a title with a junior; it was beneath her dignity.
But Xi Rubao wouldn’t stand for it: "Why is your mouth so foul? What right do you have to speak about my sister? Your information-gathering skills are pathetic. Haven’t you seen on Weibo? My sister is the recognized lady of the Gu Family!"
Nangong Meng snorted disdainfully, very proud: "We noble ladies of the Imperial Capital don’t stoop so low as to look at things commoners play with like Weibo."
Xi Rubao: "...You!" The sharp-tongued Xiao Jinli was fuming.
This so-called noble lady of the Imperial Capital was too arrogant.
Seeing that Xi Rubao was no match for her, Nangong Meng regained some smugness, continuing to pick faults: "Zuzi, you think by keeping me outside, you could sneak some answers? Don’t forget, if you’re late for the college entrance exam by fifteen minutes, you’re disqualified. You won’t get a single point on today’s English test!"
The people in East Sea Class were stunned.
They’d truly forgotten this point, heaven help them. All the hard-earned answers Zuzi wrote in the last minute, even if just a few points, were they really all in vain?
Everyone was feeling downhearted but still comforted Zuzi: "Zuzi, we can do without those 150 English points, there are still 600 points to go..."
Zuzi smiled silently: "Yeah."
At this moment, the Nanshan Class had also finished submitting their papers, and the students came out one after the other. Seeing the commotion over at East Sea Class, they gathered around as well.
Knowing Nangong Meng’s prestigious identity, they all fawned over her:
"Miss Meng, did you find Mr. Gu? It seems he didn’t come to the exam today."
"Miss Meng, where’s your bodyguard?"
"Miss Meng, where’s your desk?"
Nangong Meng’s face was getting darker and darker.
In the crowd, Xi Ruzhu had a flicker of cunning in her eyes.
She’d been bailed out of the detention center by Xi Yuanshan, only to be hit by a freak thunderstorm, spent the morning struggling in a hospital bed before rushing to the exam, wearing a thick wig and a large hat to cover her balding head, looking quite comical.
Having honed her observational skills over many years, she was the first to sense something was amiss, realizing that Nangong Meng’s move to East Sea Class wasn’t going smoothly; otherwise, she wouldn’t be standing at the door with arms akimbo, looking ready to brawl.
Scanning the entrance of East Sea Class, seeing Zuzi facing Nangong Meng, Xi Ruzhu was so shocked she almost yelled out:
Zuzi the murderer actually survived the detention center and escaped too!
Who paid her exorbitant bail?
