Jiang Yue was bored. NO! She was very bored!
It had been more than an hour since they arrived at Headmistress Lu's office and she asked them to wait for the teacher assigned for the Special Section. Headmistress Lu said that she was more than qualified to enter the first class because of her achievements. However, it seemed the teacher did not agree with this and was blatantly ignoring Headmistress Lu's calls.
"Headmistress Lu, if you don't mind, how long are we going to wait for Teacher Yang? It's been more than an hour, and she is still not here. This is clearly a sign that she doesn't want my cousin in her class." Wang Minghua said, his voice low and grave. He was obviously losing his patience.
Headmistress Lu lifted her head and looked at them. She pursed her lips, thinking about what to say without sounding offensive. She couldn't afford to offend Mr. Wang. Although her cousin Lu Shi already told her to make things difficult for Jiang Yue, she couldn't really do it in front of the heir to the Wang Empire.
"Mr. Wang, please understand. Teacher Yang is a very brilliant teacher. She's been the adviser of our special class for more than 10 years and has shown great results. She is reluctant to accept Jiang Yue because Teacher Yang doesn't want to start over, just to let Jiang Yue adapt to the lessons." Headmistress Lu said in a stern voice.
"But-" Wang Minghua was about to retort. He clearly knew that his cousin was more than capable of topping the National Exam.
However, Jiang Yue interrupted him before he could say something nasty. She knew how impulsive Wang Minghua was and it won't be good if he lashed out at the headmistress.
"Headmistress Lu, I don't want to spend both of our day waiting for someone who doesn't want me to be in her class. Why don't we just do this instead?" Jiang Yue paused while observing the headmistress. "I want to go to the second best class. I am willing to take any test." She declared as she looked at her cousin. Her gaze was enough to make him not utter another word. Headmistress Lu looked at her while contemplating. She considered Jiang Yue's suggestion.
"Okay, I will give Teacher Shen a call." She then picked up her phone and asked someone to bring Teacher Shen inside. Teacher Shen was a beautiful petite young lady, wearing an old fashioned dress and glasses that seemed to be too big for her face.
When Teacher Shen saw Jiang Yue's qualifications, she was ecstatic. She was clearly looking at a young genius. Her skills exceeded all of her previous students, be it in academics or extracurricular activities.
"I will absolutely accept you in my class. Ayah... no need to worry about tests and formalities. From now on I will be your teacher. Call me Miss Shen." Teacher Shen smiled from ear to ear. She was positive that it was now her time to beat the arrogant Teacher Yang in the National Exams. What could go wrong with this young genius by her side?
At that time, Teacher Shen was not yet aware that this decision would change her life forever.
…
The news of what happened in the Headmistress' office spread like wildfire.
"I heard Teacher Yang refuse to accept her. Ha! I say this Jiang Yue is very bold. Even asking to be in the Special class two months before the National Exam."
"I hope she won't embarrass our school at the exams. She just arrived after all. What could she learn in these two months?"
"Hey did you know? This Jiang Yue is the older sister of Senior Jiang! The top student of the special class."
"Sister? But she is so shameless! I won't accept it. How can she become the sister of my goddess?"
Jiang Yue hasn't even formally started going to school, and everyone already knew her as the shameless and arrogant sister of Jiang Mian. Of course, Jiang Yue didn't really care about such rumors. When she heard their chauffeur mentioned what he heard from the students, she just laughed it off like the rumor has nothing to do with her. This could not be compared to the mockery that she received in her previous life.
On the contrary, Wang Minghua's fury sprang to life.
"What arrogant? What shameless? That's slander! They are slandering you! They haven't even seen you, and they are already spreading rumors! I will tell Grandfather about this. Grandfather didn't even use his connections to get you in! I will-"
"Hua gege calm down,"She interrupted her cousin. "These are just baseless rumors from jealous people. If a dog bites you, you can't bite them back." This would not affect her in any way. There were also rumors like this in her previous life. The only difference was that the rumors in her previous life were true.
Wang Minghua let out a sigh while looking at her. He couldn't help but pity his little cousin. She was just a weak woman. She already lost her mother, and her father doesn't care about her. Their grandfather is already old and sickly, things like this would not be good for his health. His own father and Jiang Yue's uncle might be capable, but he was very childish. He would surely act like a child and bite everyone that bullied his little niece.
Wang Minghua shook his head. He was the only person capable enough to protect his little cousin. He clenched his jaw, determination visible in his eyes. From now on, he would be the one protecting his little cousin. He would not allow other people to slight her in any way.
What he didn't know was that if Jiang Yue could hear his thoughts right then, she would have surely died from amusement. She would think that this cousin of hers is just too adorable.
