For the next few days, Lu Jinqi stayed in the hotel, hacking away to earn some money.

Lu Jinqi lazily sat on the sofa, controlling the game character with both hands, skillfully shooting the other party in the head.

Just then, a call came in. Seeing the caller, Lu Jinqi did not even blink and directly hung up.

Song Zhilin’s face darkened when he saw his call get hung up. The servants who saw what happened dared not to breathe.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Song Yayin had just come downstairs when she saw Song Zhilin’s angry expression. She could not help but ask.

When he saw his daughter, Song Zhilin’s expression eased up a little. “How are you? Are you feeling better?”

“I’m much better now. Thank you for your concern.” Song Yayin smiled sweetly and replied gently.

Song Zhilin tried to call her again, but the call kept getting denied. He narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Earlier, Yayin had mentioned that Lu Jinqi had changed. Not only did she run into her ward and say a lot of nasty things, she even hurt Shu Min. At that time, he did not believe her. After all, she was an extremely timid person.

Now, she actually dared to hang up on him. It seemed like she had indeed changed.

Song Yayin sat by the side and played with her phone. In fact, she had been observing Song Zhilin’s actions.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, but soon, she pursed her lips and smiled. “Dad, are you calling Jinqi again?”

“Yes.” Song Zhilin nodded.

As soon as she said that, Song Yayin’s face instantly turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body could not help but tremble.

“Dad, does Jinqi blame me for everything?”

Seeing his daughter like this, Song Zhilin became somewhat at a loss. He pulled her into his arms and clumsily patted her back. “How could it be? She wouldn’t dare do such a thing.”

“But…”

“There are no buts. Her duty is to provide you with blood. She understands that.” Song Zhilin interrupted her, his words were filled with sincerity for his daughter.

Song Yayin lowered her head and internally scoffed at her dad’s comfort.

“Then I’ll give her a call.” After saying that, she picked up her phone. Seeing that Song Zhilin did not object, she pressed the call button.

Just as Lu Jinqi ended the game, her phone rang again. She raised her eyes. It was them. She threw her phone on the bed and turned on the speakerphone. Song Yayin’s sobbing voice sounded.

“Jinqi, where are you? I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be angry, okay?”

For a moment, Lu Jinqi had goosebumps all over her body. ‘If I’m guilty for something, please let the law punish me instead of letting a lunatic torture my ears.’ Lu Jinqi retorted silently.

“Get lost after you’re done speaking.”

Song Yayin’s voice stopped abruptly. Clearly, she did not expect Lu Jinqi to dare to treat her like this.

Seeing that his daughter was about to cry again, Song Zhilin grabbed his phone. “Where are you? Get your *ss back here right now.”

“Who are you?” Lu Jinqi hung up immediately.

She did not need to think to know that Song Zhilin and Song Yayin were definitely furious.

It was just as Lu Jinqi had expected, Song Zhilin was furious!

So much so that his phone fell to the ground in pieces from his angered state.

Song Yayin had never seen him this agitated before. She was so frightened that she dared not make a sound.

The next day, Song Yayin appeared in class with dark circles under her eyes. She realized that the usually quiet classroom was now extremely noisy. No one noticed her at all.

She silently walked to her seat and sat down. This was the first time she had been ignored by someone. Her mood was terrible.

Finally, someone noticed her. She immediately came over and said, “Yayin, you’re here. Looks like you didn’t rest well last night?”

“Yeah, I had a nightmare last night.”

In fact, she was frightened by her father’s outburst last night and could not sleep at all.

“What happened today?”

Zhu Lanzhi pursed her lips and replied unhappily, “I heard that there’s a transfer student today. It’s a girl. Everyone’s talking about it.”

“A transfer student?” Song Yayin blinked and a bad premonition welled up in her heart. “Do you know their name?”

“I don’t know…”

The atmosphere in the principal’s office could be said to be at its lowest. Zhang Lin, the form teacher of Class One, originally thought that the transfer student was a straight-A student. After all, there were still students transferring schools even when they were in their third year of high school. In the end, when she looked at the file, her eyes sank.

What did she see? The new student had previously studied at Defeng High School. Everyone knew that the students in this school not only did not have good grades, but they were also famous for causing trouble. Moreover, she had even taken a year off from school, how could such a student enter this place?

“Principal, you’re not joking, right?”

The principal picked up his teacup and calmly took a sip. He looked at Zhang Lin with a smile. “Teacher Zhang, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Lin looked at Lu Jinqi with disdain. “I don’t agree with your choice. With her grades, how could she enter Class One?” She shook her head, then continued, “besides, she went to school in Defeng, so her character would definitely not be good.”

In any case, nothing could be summed up in one sentence. She did not agree to Lu Jinqi getting into Class One.

“Teacher Zhang, watch your words.” The principal nervously glanced at Lu jinqi, who had nothing to do with her. Seeing that she did not react, he heaved a sigh of relief.

How could she not understand what Zhang Lin said? The key was that since yesterday, the school board had changed. No one expected the new board member to appear in his office the next day.

‘I treat you as a board member, but you want to be my student.’ The principal thought.

“Anyway, I don’t agree. I think she’s suitable for Class Six instead. After all, birds of a feather flock together.”

Hearing this, Lu Jinqi’s interest was finally piqued. “Then Class Six it is.”

The principal’s face visibly twitched as he tried to persuade her otherwise. “Class Six has a bad reputation. Class One is our elite class, you can study hard there too.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Jinqi waved her hand nonchalantly. “Class Six suits me.”

Seeing this, the principal could not help but sigh. He dialed a number. “Teacher Cheng, come to my office.”

Very soon, Cheng Xin arrived at the office with a confused look on her face. Seeing that Zhang Lin was there as well, she gave a friendly smile.

“Principal, you were looking for me.”

The principal handed her a file and pointed at Lu Jinqi. “From now on, she’ll be a student in your class.”

After reading the file, even though Cheng Xin was a little surprised, she did not look down on her. Instead, she nodded her head seriously.

“Congratulations, Teacher Cheng. Class Six has gained another great general,” Zhang Lin said before leaving.

As long as she was not in Class One, it was fine. This Cheng Xin was also an airhead. She had already brought a bunch of useless trash with her, but now, she willingly took in another one, one who could not even pass grade two.

“Well, I’ll bring her back to my class first then.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Hm, why did little Cheng get called?” A boy from Class Six had a curious look on his face.

“It should be about the transfer student who just joined.” The boy sitting next to him adjusted his glasses and read the character book with relish.

“Yao, the transfer student is coming to our class.” The little fatty poked the person who was still sleeping, unable to contain his excitement.

Xiao Yao, who had been woken up, had a displeased look on his face. His tone was sullen as he replied, “So what, do you want to throw flowers and provide a red carpet to express your welcome?”

“There’s no need. Hehe.” The little fatty scratched his head and laughed.

Cheng Xin brought Lu Jinqi to Class Six. Halfway through, she could not help but ask, “Why were you suspended from school before?”

“There was a sick pig. I went to save the pig,” Lu Jinqi answered without raising his head while playing with her phone.

“Oh…” Outwardly, that was all Cheng Xin said. Inwardly, she had other opinions. ‘That’s ridiculous. You don’t look like someone who would save a pig. Instead, you look like you would kill a pig.’

Lu Jinqi’s reply killed the conversation. The two of them remained silent the entire way to Class Six.
