The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

As everyone returned the gifts, Kang Wan’s expression froze. Now, she could no longer pretend as if nothing had happened. She pursed her lips in grievance and took the gift bags that everyone had returned. She lowered her head and returned to her seat.

Seeing this, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and looked at the students of Class Eight indifferently. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something and the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile.

As the exam was approaching, other than revising freely, they spent the entire afternoon’s lesson completing all sorts of examination papers. Some of the students in the class were doing revision questions seriously, while others were whispering about the difficulties they had faced and knowledge questions that they did not know how to solve. At this moment, only Mo Zhu was lying on the table and resting with her eyes closed as if nothing had happened.

Due to the heaven-defying results she had achieved previously, even if the teachers of the various departments were personally supervising her self-study, very few people would disturb Mo Zhu. After all, it was not important whether such an outstanding student studied hard in this lesson.

Mo Zhu laid on the table to catch up on her sleep. Surprisingly, Kang Wan did not cause trouble. She sat quietly in her seat and read her textbooks.

An afternoon passed very quickly. When the bell rang, Meng Ran quickly put away her books and tidied up her and Mo Zhu’s desks. Out of habit, she poked the girl’s arm and asked Mo Zhu to get up and prepare to leave school together.

Mo Zhu was woken up by Meng Ran. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and stood up in a daze. Just as she carried her bag, she walked straight to the classroom door.

Meng Ran followed closely behind her. Mo Zhu walked very quickly, and in a few minutes, the two of them arrived at the school gate.

Once she left the school, the Huo family’s car was parked at the entrance of Jingyang High School. It looked very conspicuous. When Mo Zhu saw Huo Xuan standing by the car door waiting for her to go over, she turned around and greeted Meng Ran briefly before walking towards Huo Xuan.

Unexpectedly, before she could reach the car door, a figure suddenly ran over from behind and rushed to Huo Xuan before her.

Mo Zhu frowned and took a closer look. The figure that rushed over was Kang Wan. Seeing that the girl was currently looking at Huo Xuan gently, she crossed her arms and calmly took two steps back as if she was watching a show.

“Brother Huo, I didn’t expect to meet you so coincidentally when I had just arrived in Cloud City. It’s really fate.” Kang Wan smiled gently at Huo Xuan, her tone sweet.

Huo Xuan was also stunned. Why hadn’t he heard any news that Kang Wan had come to Beijing? He and Mo Zhu had just left Beijing after attending the auction, and the Kang family had sent a daughter to transfer to a school in Cloud City. No matter how he looked at it, something didn’t seem right.

The man looked up at Mo Zhu in confusion. Seeing that the girl was unwilling to meddle in his business, he retracted his gaze and glanced at Kang Wan before asking angrily, “Why are you in Cloud City?”

Kang Wan’s eyes moved slightly. She raised her hand to tug at the strap of her backpack and replied with a smile, “The elders in my family said that the enrollment rate of Jingyang High School is especially high and they pay attention to nurturing the comprehensive quality of the students, so they specially sent me here to study so that I can aim for a good university.”

After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something and added, “Brother Huo, I heard from my cousin that you just came back from Beijing a few days ago. It’s all my fault for only thinking about traveling overseas. Otherwise, I would have been able to meet Brother Huo. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. We should catch up.”

After being nagged by her, Huo Xuan pinched the space between his eyebrows with a headache. He waved his hand coldly and said, “There’s no need to reminisce about the past. Since you came to Jingyang High School because of the wishes of the elders of the Kang family, you should study hard here.”

After saying this, Huo Xuan ignored the girl and walked around her. He took two steps forward, held Mo Zhu’s hand, and turned to get into the car.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Kang Wan immediately raised her hand and grabbed Huo Xuan’s sleeve tightly. She blinked her eyes aggrievedly and said, “Brother Huo, I just came to Cloud City. There’s no driver to pick me up and the place I’m staying is not safe. You promised your aunt that you would take good care of me.. Can you let me stay at your house for the time being?”
