1753 The School’s “Treasure”

Wu Li quickly handed the English test paper to Qiao Mei. This subject was even easier for her. The most basic requirement of a lawyer was to be familiar with the law. Not only did she have to be familiar with the laws of her own country, but she also had to know the laws of foreign countries well. If she did not know English well, how could she understand those foreign law books?

This time round, Qiao Mei was even faster. She only needed 30 minutes to complete the test and even wrote the essay in cursive handwriting. It was not to show off her skills, but purely to pass time. This test paper was child’s play to her and she did not feel any pressure at all.

The speed and accuracy in which Qiao Mei submitted her test papers very quickly attracted all the teachers’ attention. Everyone was full of praise for how she did in the various tests. She was definitely a candidate for the position of the top scorer next year!

After Qiao Mei completed the chemistry test paper, the lunch break bell rang. Qiao Mei picked up her school bag and walked towards Xia Fang’s house. Wu Duo ran out of the classroom and went up to Qiao Mei, asking, “Are you going home? I rode my bicycle here today. If it’s on the way, I can give you a ride.”

“There’s no need. I’m going somewhere close by. Thank you,” Qiao Mei said coldly.

Qiao Mei decided to answer Wu Duo’s question out of courtesy. After all, it was only the first day of school. If she did not reply to her classmates when they spoke to her in a friendly manner, it would make her seem like a difficult person. It would not be good to offend her classmates.

Bian Chi looked at the two of them from behind. She gnashed her teeth so hard that they were about to break. She should be the one sitting on the backseat of Wu Duo’s bicycle. Why would Wu Duo only ask that woman!

Qiao Mei quickened her pace and returned to Xia Fang’s house. She did not want to meet other classmates on the way there. If everyone stopped her to ask her one question, then she would not have time to eat lunch. Just as she was about to reach the block, Xu Jiao suddenly yelled out to her.

“Hey! Wait for me! I’m talking to you! Pay attention to me!” Xu Jiao ran to Qiao Mei’s side as she panted heavily.

“Why did you follow me here?” Qiao Mei asked with a slight frown.

“You’re my cousin-in-law and I have no one to rely on here. If I don’t follow you, who else can I follow? Where are you headed? You have to bring me along,” Xu Jiao said.

Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Jiao as she asked, “Why should I bring you along? Have you forgotten the bet I made with your mother?”

“The bet… a bet is a bet! A relative is a relative! If you don’t bring me along, I’ll… I’ll tell my mother! I’ll say that you bully me! I’ll get my mother to settle the score with Aunt!” Xu Jiao looked at Qiao Mei smugly.

Qiao Mei felt a little helpless. She hated running into scoundrels the most. They were like turtles that would bite the enemy tightly after being provoked and not let go. Such people would not let go easily unless you hit their weak spots.

If Xu Ju came to look for Qiao Mei directly, then Qiao Mei was not afraid at all. However, if Xu Lan would also get involved, then she had no choice but to consider her family member’s feelings.

Xu Ju had been causing trouble at home recently because of Xu Jiao’s letter of recommendation being invalidated, causing Xu Lan to have trouble sleeping every day. She was only able to fall asleep at dawn. Her originally rosy complexion had disappeared. In order to cause less trouble for Xu Lan, Qiao Mei decided to bring along Xu Jiao, the annoying thing.

“You can come with me, but behave yourself. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll chase you out immediately and also make you drop out of Sixth High!” Qiao Mei threatened.

After the entrance examination this time, Qiao Mei was certain that she would become the school “treasure”. Even the principal would have to be nice to her. She was a prime candidate to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination next year! If Qiao Mei went to another school, it would definitely be a loss for Sixth High! No matter how unreasonable Qiao Mei’s request was, the school would still consider it carefully.

“Drop out of school? Who are you trying to scare! I don’t believe you’re that powerful! You can only rely on my cousin’s family! Don’t think that I’m afraid of you! I’m their biological cousin!” Xu Jiao said.

Qiao Mei did not want to quarrel with a fool. It was not Xu Jiao’s fault that she was young and brainless.

For the sake of getting the Xu family’s headdress, Qiao Mei would endure all this nonsense for a year. After one year, Xu Ju would have to personally bring that lovely treasure to her!

The two of them arrived at Xia Fang’s house. Xia Fang was still working at the hospital at this hour as her lunch break did not coincide with the school lunch break. Qiao Mei cooked lunch for two people first.
