Nuannuan was the kind who would reciprocate tenfold if a person gave her respect. However, if you truly decided to go against Nuannuan, all those unlucky people from Jiang District were the best examples.
At that moment, Nuannuan looked safe and harmless. Obviously, she did not take this mean Teacher Zhou seriously. She explained, “Teacher Zhou, I didn’t join the camp because I received Teacher Guo’s approval, and Teacher Guo called me twenty days in advance to check everything that I’ve memorized. Also, there was an emergency at home today, so I came to Yamato earlier. I wasn’t late or absent. Furthermore, I also applied for leave with Teacher Guo and obtained his approval.”
Nuannuan tried to explain herself, but Teacher Zhou refused to accept her explanation. He sneered, “Are you talking back at me?”
“You can think of it that way,” Nuannuan retorted.
“What kind of student are you? What kind of quality do you think you have? Do you really think that just because you have a good memory, this team position belongs to you?”
“Enough!” Guo Zhennan interrupted Teacher Zhou unhappily, his expression turning stern.
“The competition is about to begin, and the students’ emotions are very important. Teacher Zhou, are you sure you want to provoke the students’ emotions again and again? Nuannuan is the dark horse among our batch of students. You and Teacher Cheng are only responsible for the students’ accommodation. You just need to do your job well. The rest is my jurisdiction.”
Teacher Zhou was put on the spot by Guo Zhennan’s words. He glared at Nangong Nuannuan fiercely and said in spite of himself, “I do hope she’s a dark horse as you think she is. Otherwise, we’ll see how you’ll answer to the Education Bureau.”
Nuannuan decided not to argue with him.
After all, she was only here to participate in a competition as a high school student. After that, she would have nothing to do with these people.
Seeing Teacher Zhou had insulted Nuannuan, Xia Anchen stood up and defended her. “Teacher Zhou, Nuannuan truly has a photographic memory. You weren’t there back then, so you didn’t witness her showcase. You wouldn’t be able to understand and experience the shock.”
He then said to Nuannuan, “Nuannuan, don’t take it to heart. Teacher Zhou has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He’s not a bad person.”
Looking at Xia Anchen, Nangong Nuannuan thought to herself, ‘…Who are you? Are we that close for you to call me that?’
However, as the saying goes, one would not slap a smiling person. Therefore, Nuannuan did not argue with him.
Even though she did not argue with him or reciprocate with snarky remarks, she was generally indifferent to him.
Seeing that his goddess was ignoring him, an awkward expression flashed across Xia Anchen’s face.
Initially, he had wanted to use this opportunity to build good repo with the goddess, but judging from how things were turning out, his goddess was still quite arrogant.
However, even though she was arrogant, she had all the right to be. After all, not only was she beautiful, she even called the mysterious Chairman of Shengyang Group Second Uncle.
Although Shengyang Group had yet to enter the list of first-tier wealthy families, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Eagle Eye Group and the Wu family of Sea District would have to stare at its back with its massive capital background. The Four Dominant Families were the exception, of course. Other second-tier wealthy families in Emperor District, even the top ones, were far inferior to Shengyang Group.
It was a pity that Xia Anchen had not been able to spend time with his goddess for the past month, but now… it was not too late.
He had already told his grandfather about Zhong Nuannuan. His grandfather had sent people to inquire about how the granddaughter of the Wu family, Wu Yuewen, had offended the rich daughter from Shengyang Group on the day everyone was gathered for the training camp.
