“Teacher, Su Mian definitely did not do well on the exams this time. Don’t be fooled, don’t use her broken things. She might have changed her grades when you weren’t paying attention!” Sun Ying did not dare to even blink right now in case Su Mian changed her grades when her mother was not looking at the papers.
“Alright, I know.” When Zhang Hai Ying saw that it was her own daughter causing trouble again, her expression clearly sank. She knew her daughter too well and that she could not bear seeing someone else do better than her. She had used Su Mian as an example quite a bit during the holiday this time. She had originally wanted to motivate her to do better, but it seemed that it had been counterproductive. She felt somewhat apologetic to Su Mian. If she had not done that deliberately, Sun Ying may not be targeting Su Mian like this so much.
Su Mian had been making the answer template and did not have time to reply to Sun Ying. She had not expected her to become worse than before, “I just came to the podium after seeing the English teacher suffer from marking papers. Since everyone doubts my intentions, then why not let the English teacher Zhang find our papers and mark them in front of everyone to see who did well in the exams and to see whether I actually needed to change my grades when the teacher wasn’t paying attention. Do you dare?”
“I, why would I not dare!” Sun Ying actually said this with a slight lack of confidence. Although English was her strong point, she had not read books well in the past few days. However, she had still performed better than her usual average and she would score 90 at least. Su Mian was different, running after her mother so enthusiastically. If this was not because she had not done well, then what was it? Besides, she used to have a poor English foundation.
“Fine, let the English teacher find our papers and mark them right now to see who scored higher!” Su Mian had originally not wanted to be so high-profile, but if she was not high-profile now, there were people who would always find fault.
Since they had both agreed, Zhang Hai Ying really found the papers.
Sun Ying was secretly regretful. She had been too impulsive just now and had accidentally been swept along by Su Mian’s words. She had been willing to prove her grades on the spot, but why did she join in?! If she really did not do as well as Su Mian in the exams, it would be so embarrassing!
However, thinking about it again, Su Mian’s English scores would not be able to exceed hers. It seemed like she had worried too much. Sun Ying still looked triumphant and had confidence. No one in the class had better English than her.
“It’s alright, if you didn’t do well this time, you can just work harder next time.” Wei Min put her arms around Su Mian’s shoulder and comforted her. She knew that Su Mian had not done well this time and was afraid that she would be sad for a while.
The whole class was staring at the English teacher right now. Sun Ying usually bullied people and did not have a good relationship with anyone. Right now, everyone was worried for Su Mian!
Su Mian had been too bold as well. If you did not do well, then you did not do well, could we not all keep a low-profile? She just had to compete with Sun Ying who was the best in English. Was she looking for abuse?
They had heard that Sun Ying’s English had not been taught by Zhang Hai Ying herself, but by graduated university students from the city who had majored in English. Zhang Hai Ying knew her own English level and had been afraid of holding her daughter back, so she had made her start learning from a young age.
With Su Mian’s answer template, Zhang Hai Ying’s marking speed had improved significantly. After a while, the results for the two of them were out.
Even if she had been mentally prepared, Zhang Hai Ying still could not believe it when she saw the grades.
“Teacher, you can fit an egg in your mouth. Hurry and tell us the grades!”
“Yes, hurry and tell, everyone is waiting eagerly!”
“Teacher, if you are embarrassed to offend people, I’ll come and read it!”
The class representative could not hold back anymore. He was tall and had long strides so with a few steps, he reached the podium and pulled the results from Zhang Hai Ying’s hands. With a glance, he became dumbfounded.
This could not be true!
