FMLRWS Chapter 345

“Is Xiaoxue leaving? Why not stay for dinner?” Seeing Mo Xiaoxue saying goodbye, Mu Qing urged her to stay.

“No need, Auntie. I have evening self-study classes at school, and I can’t be late.” Mo Xiaoxue replied.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing was also concerned about delaying the girl, so she said, “Wait, I’ll have the driver take you.”

Mo Xiaoxue quickly shook her head, saying she could just take a taxi. Seeing her being stubborn, Mu Qing didn’t press further and let her go.

Once outside the Luo family, Mo Xiaoxue’s smile vanished completely. She pulled out her phone and sent a message to a certain number.

…

Because it wasn’t Luo Xi who was at the bottom of the class this time, everyone was curious about her and Mu Han’s scores.

No one dared to ask Mu Han.

While people had recently changed their views on Luo Xi, they still weren’t familiar enough to ask her directly. Instead, they turned to Luo Yuyi.

Thus, the news of Luo Xi scoring third in the class spread.

Everyone didn’t believe it at all. After all, they had seen Luo Xi’s grades before. How could someone who was often called to the teacher’s office suddenly do so well?

Naturally, they began to suspect she had cheated.

If she hadn’t cheated, then the second place would likely have gone to Luo Yuyi, along with Ning Mengmeng and another boy.

These few were always at the top of the class and occupied the top three positions.

But this time, because of Luo Xi, they found themselves pushed to the bottom.

What everyone didn’t know was that the scores of Luo Yuyi and the others had been reset to zero.

The three were considered to have failed and would need to retake.

The teacher wanted to avoid a scene and had only called a few students into the office for a scolding.

Among them, a boy named Chen Xiao looked particularly grim. (TN: the raw says Yang Hao, but the earlier chapter says Chen Xiao. Perhaps the names got mixed up just like Leng Minxing and Leng Minhang, but let’s stick to Chen Xiao.)

He had been dragged down by Luo Yuyi and Ning Mengmeng. If he hadn’t agreed to share answers, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Although the teacher didn’t disclose anything, it felt like a bolt from the blue to him.

Since the teacher didn’t say anything, the other students naturally wouldn’t suspect them.

However, Luo Xi became the focus of suspicion.

The news spread quickly.

As the school beauty, Luo Xi’s status was sensitive, and many were targeting her. A group began speculating about how she had cheated and managed to deceive the teachers.

At this moment, a new account appeared out of nowhere and suggested that Luo Xi had hooked up with a certain school director and knew the answers in advance.

This brought everyone’s minds back to that cold and domineering man from the last time.

Even the principal treated him politely. Having invested so much in the school, it wouldn’t be hard for him to know the questions in advance.

In this era, those with power could decide everything.

Additionally, it was clear that Luo Xi had made a public declaration of her feelings towards him, so many people speculated that she had been taken care of by someone.

Yet someone raised the question, wasn’t Luo Xi already married?

Everyone suddenly remembered this detail.

“I heard the man she married is in a vegetative state. Since he can’t satisfy her, she’s probably waiting for him to die so she can inherit his fortune and then be with that man.”

“At this rate, the school beauty is two-timing. I feel so sorry for her husband who in a vegetative state.”

“Just days ago, someone saw her secretly meeting with the school grass in the back mountain. Although she explained, I find it hard to believe. I confessed to the school grass too, so why hasn’t he ever come looking for me?”
