Chapter 123: Results of Monthly Exams (2)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Jian Yiling had assumed that she wouldn’t have gotten a lot of points from her essay. However, the teacher had given her twenty points for ‘hard work and a good attempt’.

Furthermore, she had assumed that she had answered all the reading comprehension questions correctly. However, she achieved zero marks in that section.

Hu Jiaojiao just happened to see Jian Yiling’s answers for reading comprehension.

The moment she saw Jian Yiling’s answers, her expression went stiff.

Question: In the second to last paragraph, why did the main protagonist’s eyes turn red?

Jian Yiling’s answer: When the blood vessels in the membrane surrounding the eyeball and sclera get irritated, they may become red. This sort of irritation/bleeding can cause the white parts surrounding the pupil to change in color.

Question: What do you think about the phrase: “The tips of his fingers became white as he grasped tightly onto his umbrella. Suddenly, he felt that autumn was nearing.”?

Jian Yiling’s answer: He has poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation will lead to insufficient blood flow to the extremities of one’s body. However, usually, this doesn’t require any special treatment. Remember to keep warm and avoid any strenuous exercise.

Hu Jiaojiao was so impressed and confused by Jian Yiling’s answers. She couldn’t help but stare at her paper.

Jian Yiling’s train of thoughts... How strange!

At that moment, a member of the student committee walked over. It was Liu Wen, she came over and said to Hu Jiaojiao, “It seems that you’re actually about to go home and collect rent.”

Out of nine subjects, Hu Jiaojiao had once again failed six.

Hu Jiaojiao took a deep breath before replying, “Sister Wen, please don’t say that. I’ll have to face the wrath of my mother when I get home... Ahhh... It’s all my fault. She’s going to be so mad...”

Liu Wen paused for a moment. She decided to let Hu Jiaojiao go this time. Then she turned around to speak to Jian Yiling, “Jian Yiling, you’ve made great progress this time. Keep up the good work! Aim for a good score next time as well. Feel free to tell me if you need my notes.”

This time, Jian Yiling had successfully passed all her exams. She had made a significant improvement from her previous exams. As such, she had officially graduated from the group of failing students in Class 8.

However, Liu Wen’s attitude towards Jian Yiling hadn’t changed. She kept up the cold and arrogant demeanor of a top student. Her attitude would only change if Jian Yiling’s academic performance improved.

As for the bustling rumors on the school forum, Liu Wen had never cared for them. Those posts never affected her judgment of Jian Yiling’s character.

All of a sudden, Hu Jiaojiao got up. She was ready to be hardworking again, “Sister Wen, I want your notes as well! If Yiling can pass, I’ll try my best to pass as well! You guys can’t abandon me! I don’t want to be the only one stuck in this abyss of failure!”

Liu Wen replied, “You better go and hire a tutor. I heard that Yiling recently got a tutor. It seems to be working quite well.”

“I’m not sure about that. Yiling told me that she hated her tutor! I don’t think his teaching would be effective if it’s like that!”

Hu Jiaojiao had asked Jian Yiling that question two days ago.

While Hu Jiaojiao and Liu Wen were talking, a message suddenly popped up on Jian Yiling’s phone:

[Dr. F.S, we discovered something regarding the matter you’re investigating. Do you want to exchange something with us?]

The last time that Jian Yiling was in trouble, the other party had tried contacting her. However, she had refused their offer.

It was also proven that she didn’t need their help at that point in time.

She had also set clear conditions. If they found what she was looking for, she would consider the other party’s requests.

[The surveillance?]

[Yes. However, we haven’t gotten our hands onto it yet. The only thing that we can confirm is that the memory card is in He Yan’s hands. However, she hasn’t destroyed it yet.]

[Source?]

[We found the person who was responsible for the surveillance at Heyunshan Resort. He was bribed by He Yan. He just confessed everything.]
