After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 46: Fake Rich Girl, The Real Number One?

"Her, causing Mr. Qin to lose face?"

The students, who were looking at the grades, all jeered in unison.

"Even though being last is technically still being ’first,’ Shi Yaoguang took advantage of a loophole when wagering with Mr. Qin, but this doesn’t mean she can do whatever she pleases! I believe the school board won’t turn a blind eye to this."

"Exactly! When that wager first appeared on the forum, I thought Shi Yaoguang was so badass for daring to bet with Mr. Qin. Now it looks like she was just bluffing, right?"

Some even mockingly responded, "Shi Yaoguang managing to score exactly one hundred is pretty badass too! After all, being last is still ’first,’ nobody knows how many points the last one will get, so her ability to control her score like that is a skill in itself."

"Being last is a skill? I didn’t know that was such a cheap way to talk about skills. If I wanted, I could do even worse, what’s so great about being last? I could score second to last!"

...

After the results were released, the forum became lively once again.

Especially regarding her and Qin Hongbo’s "wager."

Qin Hongbo set her up, claiming she swore she could rank first.

Shi Yaoguang, on his account, published the "wager" that if she really came first, Qin Hongbo would have to resign from this school.

The current situation is...

The results are out.

The conditions of the wager are unclear.

On one hand, people are saying there’s something inherently problematic with this wager.

After all, Shi Yaoguang only said she’d rank first, without specifying if it was the top or the bottom.

In this way, the condition of her betting with Qin Hongbo that she’d rank first was technically met.

On the other hand, there is strong protest against her smug satisfaction with being last.

How can being last be considered first?

If that’s the case, then couldn’t anyone just go around claiming they could be first?

While both sides were irreconcilably arguing, some people noticed the true first place of the current mock exam.

That is—the so-called top first place.

To everyone’s surprise, it’s—Shi Yiqing.

That is, the false heiress among the Shi Family’s two daughters.

"Between the two daughters of the Shi Family, one is the very last and the other is the very first, if I were part of the Shi Family, I’d choose Shi Yiqing too!"

"+1 to the above! The comparison between the two daughters is so tragic, if it were me, I’d pick Shi Yiqing too."

"Why do I remember Shi Yiqing’s grades from last semester weren’t this good?"

The mock exam covered six subjects, totaling seven hundred fifty points.

Shi Yiqing’s score, a staggering seven hundred forty.

In other words, her score was almost perfect.

Her past grades were never so impressive.

Naturally, Shi Yiqing’s Flower Guardian Group wouldn’t stay quiet and immediately hit back on the microphone.

"Just because you can’t achieve it, does that mean others can’t? Qingqing has always been outstanding and hardworking. Her previous grades weren’t as good because she didn’t feel like coming first!"

"If it weren’t for someone making boastful claims about wanting to come first, our Qingqing wouldn’t have had to show her true capabilities. All you jealous sour grapes, stop being so bitter. Your envious looks are really unattractive!"

"Wasn’t Shi Yaoguang so arrogant? Wanting to rank first? Now that the results are out, being last is truly impressive. And she dared to bully our Qingqing. If you have the guts, open your eyes and see, our Qingqing is the undisputed first! Some people aren’t even worthy to carry the shoes for our Qingqing!"

Upon seeing these messages, Shi Yiqing felt conflicted.

On one hand, she was happy about her classmates’ compliments and defense.

On the other hand, she couldn’t help feeling guilty.

Most of all, she was worried.

She was very aware that the true first place shouldn’t have been hers.

If she hadn’t secretly switched the test papers with somebody else, the person receiving all the praise now would be Shi Yaoguang.

Just thinking about how the other person was adored like a star, shining brightly, made her feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

No.

The matter of her swapping exam papers was done very covertly.

Apart from herself, no second person would know about it.

...

Scoring last in the exam was a big deal, and Shi Yaoguang naturally knew about it too.

In fact, she wasn’t surprised that her results were like this.

After all, it wasn’t the first time.

In her previous life, she couldn’t solve this, but in this life...

Could she still be killed by grades?

As Shi Yaoguang walked down the tree-shaded path, thinking of her absurdly low grades and Shi Yiqing’s impressive first place, an idea formed in her mind.

The sight of her deep in thought, as seen by Jiu Yanchuan who was passing by, looked like she was deeply saddened.

He walked directly up to her and tried to comfort her as gently as possible, "Don’t be too sad, if you study hard in the future, I believe you can get good results."

Shi Yaoguang, startled by his words, suddenly looked up, completely baffled.

What was going on?

When had she ever been sad?

Jiu Yanchuan, however, interpreted her shock as panic and continued to soothe her, "Everyone has times when they fail tests, you really shouldn’t worry too much about it."

Shi Yaoguang’s lips twitched, "Captain Jiu, I think there’s been a misunderstanding, I’m not sad."

Jiu Yanchuan looked at her deeply, then nodded helplessly, "I understand."

Shi Yaoguang: "..." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Jiu Yanchuan: "The educational resources you had access to before have always been quite poor, so it’s normal to be like this now. As long as you are determined and work hard, you can definitely do it if you put your heart into it."

Shi Yaoguang chose to remain silent.

She felt that no matter what she said, the other person wouldn’t understand.

If that was the case, it was better not to say anything at all.

Seeing this, Jiu Yanchuan became even more convinced of his earlier thoughts.

The girl must have been hit hard by this setback.

Couldn’t he see that she was already too heartbroken to speak?

Thinking this, Jiu Yanchuan finally decided to give Quan Jinbei a call.

After all, she was his little wife, and it was very necessary to notify him of such a matter.

Shi Yaoguang had no idea about what Jiu Yanchuan was imagining.

After exchanging a few casual words with him, she headed for the principal’s office.

All the way there, many classmates’ gazes fell on her.

"Shi Bro! Shi Bro!" Cheng Lingdang, still sporting twin ponytails, waved excitedly at her from the principal’s office door, "I knew you would come here; I’ve finally waited for you. Luckily, I didn’t give up!"

Shi Yaoguang smiled, and her tone also carried a touch of cheerfulness, "What are you waiting for me for?"

"Of course, I’m here to cheer you on!"

Cheng Lingdang made an enthusiastic cheerleading gesture.

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow, "To cheer me on?"

"Yep yep." Cheng Lingdang nodded, her face full of indignant expression, "Even if no one else can understand you, I want to stand by your side!"

Shi Yaoguang asked with a touch of confusion, "Why do I need others to understand me?"

"Geez..." Cheng Lingdang waved her hand, speaking quite calmly, "Let me tell you, those people are just jealous of you!"

"So what if you scored last? When Mr. Qin made that bet with you before..."
