Chapter 251 Withdraw (Third Watch)

Chapter 251: 251 Withdraw (Third Watch)

In her father’s company, even a secretary who serves tea is a graduate of a key university, let alone a mere teacher, there’s really no need to be afraid.

In fact, Teacher Wu had already guessed the purpose of Lin Xiaoyue’s visit to some extent, but at that moment, he slowly said, "I’m sorry, I’m too slow to really understand the meaning behind your words."

"Teacher Wu," Lin Xiaoyue frowned, "I don’t know what you’re implying? You clearly knew that I was also going to participate in today’s speech competition, yet you still deliberately arranged for a loser to share the stage with me. Aren’t you intentionally trying to annoy and insult me?"

As Lin Xiaoyue spoke these words, she didn’t glance at Chu Jin the entire time, merely sweeping her with a sideways glance from the corner of her eye.

A glance filled with disdain and disgust.

"So," without waiting for Teacher Wu to speak, Chu Jin set aside her speech, then lightly lifted her perfectly sculpted chin, and with a pair of peach blossom eyes that carried a smile, she looked in Lin Xiaoyue’s direction and said, "What do you want?"

She was smiling, but Lin Xiaoyue didn’t see a trace of warmth in her eyes.

That smile-filled gaze instead caused an instinctive shiver to run through her body.

A loser, after all, apart from that good-looking skin, what else did she have!

All show and no substance, no cause for fear!

Thinking this, Lin Xiaoyue felt much better, steadied her mind, and spoke with an extremely cold elegance, "My demand is very simple, you, voluntarily admit defeat and then withdraw from the competition!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin’s face didn’t show any anger, but instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a provocative smile as she laughed and said, "Ask me to admit defeat voluntarily? Excuse me, who do you think you are?"

That attitude was somewhat arrogant.

Arrogance mingled with a bit of dazzling brilliance that made it impossible to look away.

As the school belle of South Bridge No.2 Middle School, Lin Xiaoyue had always been held in high esteem, although she remained noble and cold on the outside, her facial expressions imperceptible.

In fact, she really enjoyed being adored like this.

No one at South Bridge No.2 Middle School had ever spoken to her with such an attitude!

At that moment, Lin Xiaoyue’s expression suddenly changed, and she coldly said, "Don’t you have any clue about yourself? How could someone like you be worthy of being my competitor! Even less deserving of sharing that stage with me!"

Then, the short-haired girl who had been following Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and chimed in, "Exactly, how does a loser like you deserve to stand with our Xiaoyue! Isn’t this just an insult to her? Plus, with someone like you who can’t even distinguish the 26 letters, even if you got on stage, you would just bring shame to South Bridge No.2 Middle School. The TV station is here to broadcast live today, so I suggest you better admit defeat quickly! Save yourself the embarrassment here!"

At this point, the short-haired girl turned her head to look at Teacher Wu, changing her tone, and sarcastically said, "I say, Teacher Wu, really now, of all people to choose, you had to pick such a well-known loser for such an important competition. Aren’t you trying to tarnish the reputation of South Bridge No.2 Middle School?"

The truth was, the background of that short-haired girl was quite simple; she was so arrogant solely because of Lin Xiaoyue.

After all, Lin Xiaoyue’s background was not simple, and this was her way of trying to curry favor with Lin Xiaoyue.

After all, connections of this kind are very important.

Teacher Wu’s face had already turned as dark as coal, and at that moment, he stood up and said sternly, "I am the homeroom teacher of Class Ten, and I decide who participates in this competition! It has nothing to do with any of you! Please leave immediately!"

Though Teacher Wu said this, the two people in front of him showed no intention of moving.

Instead, they looked at Teacher Wu and Chu Jin with a defiant gaze.

"Teacher Wu," Lin Xiaoyue closed her eyes in disgust, then spoke with a chill, "I think I haven’t made myself clear enough, if Chu doesn’t drop out of today’s competition, then I will! Today’s competition will have me without her, or her without me!"

She was the finale of today’s competition!

Without her, the competition would lose its meaning.

After all, there she stood with her English grades for all to see, and ask, how many could score full marks in the English exam?

Moreover, there were several foreign judges at the scene today, here to assess the teaching quality of South Bridge No.2 Middle School, and if she wasn’t there to hold the fort, what would those foreign judges assess?

Could those insignificant others earn a look of appreciation from the foreign judges?

Did they really want Chu Jin, the incompetent one, to take the stage and be the laughing stock of South Bridge No.2 Middle School?

What a joke!

The difference between herself and that incompetent one was as clear as day.

She believed Wu Chen would know what mattered.

If it had been any other day, Teacher Wu might have considered it, but not today!

Because she believed in Chu Jin, he would bring a miracle to everyone, he would bring a miracle to South Bridge No.2 Middle School!

"Lin student," Teacher Wu’s gaze lifted calmly towards Lin Xiaoyue, then he spoke slowly, "Whether to participate in the competition is your own issue, and it has nothing to do with me. There’s no need to discuss it with me."

"You!" Lin Xiaoyue was so angry she almost couldn’t catch her breath.

She had never imagined that Wu Chen still had not realized her importance up to this point!

Didn’t he know that she was South Bridge No.2 Middle School’s pillar?

Without her, what meaning would this competition have?

At this moment, the homeroom teacher of Class Three, Lin Heng, walked in from the outside.

Lin Heng was a slightly overweight middle-aged uncle with gold-rimmed glasses, projecting a friendly and approachable demeanor.

"Teacher Lin!" Seeing the newcomer, Lin Xiaoyue was like seeing the light and hope, "Could you come over for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Lin Xiaoyue was the darling of Class Three and shared the same surname as Teacher Lin, so Teacher Lin generally favored Lin Xiaoyue more than others.

He immediately walked towards Lin Xiaoyue.

Teacher Lin first nodded at Teacher Wu, and then spoke very kindly, "What is it, Lin student? Do you have a matter you need to discuss with the teacher?"

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Teacher Lin, then spoke with a cold elegance, "Teacher Lin, I want to withdraw from today’s speech competition. Please find another student to participate."

She looked firmly at Teacher Lin, with no hint of joking in her eyes.

Having said her piece, she then turned to leave.

Teacher Lin panicked upon hearing this, immediately reaching out to grasp Lin Xiaoyue’s wrist, "Lin student, what’s wrong? Did something happen? Why would you withdraw from the competition all of a sudden? Are you in a bad mood?"

Lin Xiaoyue had always been his pride; he was counting on her to make him proud in this English speech competition.

Even teachers competed with one another.

Moreover, today there were foreign judges and TV crews coming to interview.

With Lin Xiaoyue’s English scores and verbal abilities, she was certainly destined to win this competition!

As Lin Xiaoyue’s homeroom teacher, he would, without doubt, receive his share of commendation.

He might even appear on TV because of it.

At that time, he would be a famous teacher known across the China mainland.

Several people had already given their speeches, and Lin Xiaoyue’s turn was approaching.

At this moment, with Lin Xiaoyue declaring her withdrawal from the competition, how could Teacher Lin not be agitated?

How could he not panic?

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Teacher Lin and said firmly, "I’m sorry to disappoint you, Teacher Lin, but there’s no way I’m participating in today’s competition! There’s no need for you to say anything more!"

She knew very well her place in Teacher Lin’s heart, which is why she dared to be so definitive in her statement.

After all, Teacher Lin wouldn’t give up on such an excellent student like her.

Today, she was essentially the protagonist!

The shining star who attracted everyone’s attention!

At such a moment, how could Teacher Lin possibly let go and allow her to leave?

"Lin student, what in the world is going on?" Teacher Lin asked anxiously, "Do you have any difficulties? Just tell the teacher directly, and I will help you solve them!"

The short-haired girl beside Lin Xiaoyue pulled her aside, offering comfort, "Xiaoyue, don’t be impulsive. With the teacher here, he will definitely take a stand for you."

Teacher Lin beside them nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Lin student, just speak up, the teacher will definitely take a stand for you!"

"There’s nothing more to say," Lin Xiaoyue spoke with cold elegance, "In any case, I will not participate in the competition."
