Lin Jianan could not comprehend her thoughts. “Your grades are so good, so it shouldn’t take you too much time to study.”
Xu Wanwan shook her head. “I still have other things to do.”
In her previous life, her luck had been snatched away by Xu Yue, causing her to live a mediocre life and die of illness.
After living a new life, she had to cherish her time to the maximum and complete the things that she couldn’t do in her previous life.
Lin Jianan said helplessly, “Alright, but I think a lot of people will definitely choose you as class monitor.”
Xu Wanwan did not take this matter to heart. She read for a while and then took a break.
In the afternoon, the counselor came to the classroom and wrote a few big words on the blackboard—
Class cadre election.
The counselor said, “Student Xu Wanwan did not come yesterday. To be fair, we pushed the election day to today.”
“Everyone has one vote in their hands. Now, let’s vote for class monitor.”
Lin Jianan patted Xu Wanwan’s arm excitedly. “Wanwan, wake up. It’s time to vote for class monitor. You will definitely be elected.”
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly and got up from the table. Looking at the paper in her hand, she didn’t know how to choose.
“Wanwan, I’ll vote for you.”
Xu Wanwan was about to stop her when Lin Jianan had already written her name on the paper.
Xu Wanwan wanted to say something but hesitated. She thought for a moment and asked, “Who else in the class is more suitable to be the class monitor?”
“Liu Ru,” Lin Jianan said seriously, “During the election yesterday, many people in the class wanted to vote for her.”
“By the way, she’s also the daughter of the Dean of Education. I heard that her college entrance exam results are also very good.”
When Xu Wanwan heard this name, her eyes darkened.
In her previous life, she had often seen Liu Ru in the Xu family.
Xu Yue had concealed herself well at that time and had made many friends. She and Liu Ru were close friends.
At that time, Liu Ru had listened to Xu Yue’s words and bullied her a lot.
Xu Wanwan’s expression turned slightly cold and decisively gave up on the idea of voting for Liu Ru.
She directly wrote Lin Jianan’s name on the paper and handed in the voting sheet.
After the counselor counted the votes, she wrote Xu Wanwan’s and Liu Ru’s names on the blackboard and said, “The votes of these two students are equal. I still have one vote left to decide the class monitor.”
Below the podium, Liu Ru stared at Xu Wanwan with an unfriendly look.
Lin Jianan looked nervous and waited for the counselor to speak.
Xu Wanwan, on the other hand, acted as if she was an outsider.
Under the eager gazes of the entire class, the counselor turned around and ticked Liu Ru’s name.
“I vote for Liu Ru.”
The class instantly exploded.
“I thought the counselor would vote for the top scorer.”
“Liu Ru’s grades when she entered the school seemed to be pretty good. Her father was also a dean, so it was natural for her to be the class monitor.”
“Looks like Xu Wanwan doesn’t have a good relationship with the principal. She can’t even be a class monitor.”
Xu Wanwan listened to the discussions in her ears and did not have any reaction. She looked down at the book and stayed out of it.
Lin Jianan was indignant. She took a deep breath. “I really don’t know how the counselor had chosen. Instead of picking the top scorer, she chose the head teacher’s daughter.”
Xu Wanwan calmly flipped through the pages. “It’s okay. I’m not sad at all.”
On the other side, Liu Ru’s seat was filled with people. Laughter and celebration could be heard one after another.
Lin Jianan retracted her gaze and consoled, “Forget it. We can still win it back elsewhere.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “That’s right.”
After school in the afternoon, Lin Jianan had something to do and left early.
After Xu Wanwan slowly packed her bag, she slowly went downstairs.
When she went down to the third floor, she saw two familiar figures.
The counselor and Liu Ru were walking side by side and talking.
“Auntie, I knew you would vote for me. You’re the best.”
“That’s because you’re outstanding. You and Xu Wanwan just tied. You can only blame her bad luck for not having a dean as a father.”
“Of course. Father will definitely be happy when he finds out that I’m the class monitor.”
The two of them walked side by side in front, neither too fast nor too slow. Xu Wanwan had no choice but to slow down and follow behind.
She was not surprised when she heard those conversations. There were unspoken rules everywhere, and it was not just at school.
“You better go home obediently. Little Auntie still has something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.” The counselor left at the corner of the second floor.
After Liu Ru waved goodbye to her, she glanced back and happened to see Xu Wanwan.
Her expression changed drastically, and a hint of coldness appeared in her gentle eyes. “Why are you here?”
“This is the stairway to the school. I want to go back from here,” Xu Wanwan explained in a good-natured manner and turned to go downstairs.
Liu Ru suddenly reached out and blocked her way. “It’s been so long since school ended. Why are you still in school?”
“Aren’t you in school too?”
“I had something to do.” Liu Ru stared at Xu Wanwan and said in an unfriendly tone, “Did you hear something just now?”
Xu Wanwan looked at her without changing her expression. “The entire stairwell is only this big. I’m not deaf.”
Liu Ru’s heart skipped a beat.
She had snatched Xu Wanwan’s class monitor position, and now she had been discovered. She wouldn’t be exposed, right?
Liu Ru’s face was gloomy. She took two steps closer to Xu Wanwan and leaned her body close to her ear. She said coldly, “My father is the Dean of Education. If you dare to tell anyone about this, I can guarantee that you will have a hard time in school from now on.”
Xu Wanwan was not afraid of her threat at all. She replied with a smile, “Then let me tell you, it’s best if you don’t provoke me for no reason. Otherwise, I won’t take it lying down.”
“Xu Wanwan, I still have other evidence against you.” Liu Ru sneered. “Don’t forget, you’re still a member of the Xu family. You’re just a country bumpkin from the countryside. Do you think you can become a phoenix just because you climbed up a high branch?”
“If other people know about this, I won’t let you go. Tell me, if the students know your true face, how will you stay in school?”
Xu Wanwan couldn’t be bothered with her and was about to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, a mocking voice suddenly sounded behind her—
“Top scholar, are you waiting for me here?”
Liu Ru quickly looked up and saw Li Xuyi walking over. A flash of calculation flashed across her eyes. She suddenly loosened her grip on the railing and fell backward.
“Ah!”
Before Xu Wanwan could react, she saw Liu Ru fall on the stairs behind her.
Li Xuyi quickly ran forward and helped Liu Ru up. “Are you okay?”
Liu Ru looked at Li Xuyi with tears in her eyes. “I’m fine.”
After she said that, she looked at Xu Wanwan and sounded even more aggrieved. “Wanwan, running for class monitor is fair and open. You can’t vent your anger on me just because you’re not convinced.”
When Li Xuyi heard this, he glared at Xu Wanwan coldly and said sarcastically, “I know that some people can’t afford to lose. Don’t you feel ashamed to do such embarrassing things?”
“I didn’t push her.” Xu Wanwan saw through Liu Ru’s trick at a glance and pointed at the surveillance camera in the corner. “If you don’t believe me, you can go and check the surveillance camera..”
