Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Someone Else’s Child

Feeling the scrutiny from the person beside him, Lin Xuanze glanced over, "What are you looking at? I’m definitely better looking than you are!"

Yang Xing shot him a look of disdain, "You? Big boss is way more handsome than you; I’m not interested in watching you."

He glanced over again, with a teasing tone, "Big boss, you in need of a little brother? I’ll be the one who follows every command, never going east when you say west, always at your beck and call."

"!"

Could you be any more obvious about trying to pull the rug from under someone?

Does he think I’m dead?!

Yun Yue raised her eyes, her gaze lightly sweeping over the two, her tone as casual as ever, a smile that was neither quite a smile nor a frown playing on her lips, "This is high school, not kindergarten."

"..."

The two looked at each other, then disdainfully turned away.

This was the first mobilization assembly of the senior year; the scene was tremendously grand, held on the football field, big enough to accommodate all seniors and their parents.

Inspirational music filled the whole school from the football field.

By the time they arrived, parents and uniformed seniors were everywhere, and some freshmen and sophomores were also on the sidelines watching the excitement.

Groups of parents huddled together, comparing their children’s grades.

"The top of the grade? That has to be Gu Yue from class seven. He’s been the annual top student for a year; odds are he’ll dominate the senior year."

"Why would the top student be in class seven? Isn’t class one the best?"

"I heard from my child that Gu Yue looks down on class one, thinks it’s just full of bookworms. Too dull and boring for him, so he chose class seven."

"..."

Every parent-teacher meeting, it was a discussion about Gu Yue, the grade leader.

What can you do when someone’s just that good!

Liu Xiaoyan could hear such conversations wherever she went.

She maintained her smile painfully, swallowing her anger down.

Gu Yue had transferred in the second year; Lin Xuanze might have secured the top rank in the first monthly test of sophomore year, but every test after that, Gu Yue took over.

Gradually, parents from class one began to show dissatisfaction.

All she could say was that the boy had potential; even if he insisted on joining class seven, there was nothing she could do but bring up class one’s overall performance.

But this time, with four out of the top five slots occupied by class seven, including the top two, what could she say?

The overall average score was lower than class seven, and she no longer had that shield; she braced herself for being torn apart by those parents.

Did she regret it? How could she not!

If she’d known how excellent Yun Yue’s grades were, she would have never refused her that day at the office!

In class one, not only could she have secured the top rank for the grade, but her presence could have made it an exceptional class, even aiming for the national top scorer at next year’s college entrance exam!

745 points!

She had secretly seen Yun Yue’s Chinese paper; the essay was perfect, with only five points deliberately deducted by theChinese teacher grading the paper.

National top scorers in past years scored around 730-740 points; there was a ninety percent chance she could have secured it.

And instead, Xiao Ye had swept up that opportunity!

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, considering it the stupidest thing she had ever done.

She took a deep breath, struggled to control her emotions, and took an antihypertensive from her pocket.

Then she headed towards class one, emotionally prepared to be criticized and held accountable.

Gu Yue and Shen Xuan walked onto the soccer field together, instantly attracting everyone’s attention with their striking appearances.

Both were prominent figures at the school, and already familiar faces among this group of parents—a top male student and honor roll beauty known for her multiple talents.

"These two really do match well; they’re the kind of children others only wish they had."

"Mr. Shen, your sister grows more graceful and composed by the day, possessing a charm that outshines even the eminent ladies of Beijing."

Several wealthy ladies stood beside Shen Jinhao, uttering nothing but praises.

Shen Jinhao, Shen Xuan’s brother, was a top scholar at Jing University, soon to graduate, and reportedly doing quite well in Beijing. The Shen family’s status in Lan City had skyrocketed over the past few years because of him.

Bai Hui hadn’t come this time as she was in Beijing helping Shen Xuan prepare for her piano examination. If she could secure a position at the Beijing Piano Association, it would propel the Shen family to great heights, so of course, they needed to curry favor.

Today, Shen Jinhao was dressed in a trench coat, his demeanor gentle yet handsome, his expression subtly aloof, leaving few daring to approach him.

Shen Jinhao knew these people well , as they were friends with his mother, so he wore a slight smile and occasionally responded to their remarks.

However, upon seeing his sister, his usually distant expression betrayed an excessive fondness.

His gaze then shifted to Gu Yue standing beside her, the boy’s handsome features and familiar eyes giving him a sense of déjà vu.

"Whoa! Who’s that girl?!"

Yun Yue and her two friends suddenly appeared behind Shen Xuan, having grown taller over the past month and now outstripping Shen Xuan by a few centimeters.

The rebellious and flamboyant girl stunned everyone with her dazzling face and unruly aura, commanding the entire soccer field.

Beside her, Shen Xuan was reduced to merely a backdrop, her luster dimmed.

"Today, I finally saw Yun Xiaohua’s face clearly; I totally love her beauty!"

"With such a comparison, she’s absolutely crushing Shen Xuan, unbelievable!"

The students from first and second year excitedly discussed Yun Yue’s unexpected appearance.

"Mom, that’s our class’ big shot, the new belle; you better put on a good show to make a great impression in front of the boss," Wang Ning proudly informed his flabbergasted companions.

Shen Xuan is beautiful,right? Their boss is even more so!

Shen Xuan is talented and top ten in the grade, right? Just wait and they’ll be taken aback!

Wang Ning’s mother widened her eyes at her son, "Do you like her?"

Seeing her son acting this way, at 17, he was at the perfect age to start showing interest in girls, especially one as pretty as Yun Yue.

"What are you talking about! Don’t embarrass me later. I’m not worthy. Just be as charming to the boss as you are with Old Xiao, no, make it ten times more!" Wang Ning widened his eyes, almost frightened by her assumption.

To him, the boss was like some deity, someone he’d be lucky to serve under.

"She’s just a student..." Wang Ning’s mother felt incredulous at his excessive zeal.

"Oh, come on, Mom, I wouldn’t lead you astray. Just wait and see the surprises I have in store for you!"

Wang Ning smiled mysteriously, having advanced to the top fifty in his exams—a fact he hadn’t yet shared with his mother. She would lose her composure once she knew.

Wang Ning’s mother gave him a look,
