Chapter 79: Fang Ran’s Trick
The two of them found a small restaurant outside and ate there. However, when they returned to the Huo residence, they did not see Fang Ran in the living room.
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows as she thought to herself, That’s good then, it saves them the trouble of having to tolerate Fang Ran speaking weirdly and instigating trouble again.
After greeting Huo Xuan, Mo Zhu wanted to return to the room to catch up on her sleep. She hadn’t had a good rest last night, and it had resulted in her being unable to sleep well in the classroom today. All she wanted to do now was lie on her comfortable bed and stretch herself.
Mo Zhu went upstairs and returned to her room, but when she opened the door, she heard a voice coming from the room next door. She frowned slightly and crept closer to Fang Ran’s ajar door. As expected, she heard the girl’s angry questioning.
“I don’t care. There are still a few days. No matter what you do, I have to get the scholarship for the top student this year!” Mo Zhu held her breath. She could tell that the voice was Fang Ran’s. It seemed like she was talking to someone on the phone.
After saying this, the other party answered something. Fang Ran’s tone became even worse. “If you can’t get it, you don’t have to return to the Fang family. The Fang family doesn’t raise useless trash!”
A scholarship? Mo Zhu muttered in her heart. She had been in Jingyang High School for so long, but she had never heard of a scholarship for the best students in Jingyang High School.
However, it was strange. The Fang family did not lack this money. Why did Fang Ran have to insist on getting this scholarship? Could there be some unspeakable secret behind this?
After Fang Ran finished venting her anger, the other party persuaded her with a few more words. Through the gap in the door, Mo Zhu heard the girl agree to calm down a little. “That’s decided then. If you can’t do it, pack your things and get lost. You don’t have to return to the Fang family!”
After saying this, Fang Ran raised her hand and hung up the phone. Seeing that there was nothing else, Mo Zhu stood up and walked back to her room to lie down.
She was not interested in Fang Ran’s messy affairs at all. As long as it did not violate her interests, Mo Zhu did not care what tricks Fang Ran had up her sleeve.
After sleeping well at night, she was naturally awake during the day. For the first time, Mo Zhu woke up early and ate breakfast in high spirits. Huo Xuan stood up and sent Mo Zhu to school after getting dressed.
So when Fang Ran tidied up and went downstairs, she saw that the place was already empty.
Once she arrived in class, Mo Zhu went straight to her desk and sat down. She took out her phone and looked at the entertainment news that automatically popped up on her screen, listening to the discussions of the students.
“What song are we going to prepare for the duet this time? Although we know that we probably won’t get any awards, the competition is all about participation. It’s rare to have such a relaxing activity, so let’s just treat it as entertainment.”
The person who spoke was Zhang Qi. He was filled with curiosity and playfulness. When there was such an activity, he would always be more enthusiastic than anyone else.
“Every year, Class One gets the award. It really dispels the enthusiasm and participation of the other classes. Anyway, I think there’s no point in practicing this seriously.”
“Yes, yes. I agree with this. Our class is just trying to make up the numbers this time. Otherwise, we could just sing the one from last year. That would save us a lot of rehearsal time.”
Just as everyone was jabbering on and on about what song to choose for the duet, Meng Ran ran into the classroom with a wronged look on her face. She ignored everyone and laid on the table. Her actions shocked Mo Zhu.
A few familiar Class Eight students chased after the girl. They surrounded the two of them and started to comfort Meng Ran, one after another.
“Don’t be too sad, Xiao Ran. Such matters have happened a lot in the past. Aren’t we used to it already? Let’s work hard next semester, we might even have a chance again!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Don’t be too sad. It’s just a few thousand dollars. It’s not worth hurting our health because of this little bit of money!”
Mo Zhu put down her phone and leaned back lazily in her chair. No matter how she listened, she did not understand what was going on. Her cold eyes darkened as she looked at the girls showing concern to Meng Ran and asked.
“What’s going on?”
Hearing Mo Zhu’s question, one of the girls plucked up her courage and took a step forward to answer her, “Sister Mo, you don’t know this, but yesterday night, the school’s office called Xiao Ran and said that this year’s special progressive scholarship was given to her. In the end, when she came in the morning, Mr. Li called her to the office and said that the quota had been changed…”
After lowering her head and pondering for a few seconds, Mo Zhu instantly recalled the sneaky phone call Fang Ran had made last night.
“So in the end, the spot that originally belonged to Meng Ran was given to Fang Ran?” Mo Zhu stared at the girl who spoke in front of her without blinking, and a cold glint flashed across her dark eyes.
The girl shivered from Mo Zhu’s gaze. She was so frightened by Mo Zhu that she trembled as she replied, “Sister Mo, according to the school leaders, they had accidentally informed Xiao Ran last night due to some data error in the system.”
Mo Zhu nodded. She had already guessed that this was the case. If she was not wrong, Fang Ran had changed her target to the special-class advancement award because she did not get the top student scholarship.
