Chapter 91 — Wei Zhao's Sensational Score
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Who graded this paper?" Mr. Liu frowned.
"Gu Mengyao," Shen Yushu said with a grin.
Mr. Liu nodded. He had a vague idea that this Wei Zhao had the school board director Gu Pengzhan behind him, and that Gu Mengyao was Gu Pengzhan's daughter. The two of them, in school, seemed to have no visible contact—but who knew why this Wei Zhao had come?
And the moment he arrived, he'd clashed fiercely with Zhong Yongliang, one of Gu Mengyao's suitors. The complications in all this were something Mr. Liu had no wish to meddle with. These young masters and princesses were the hardest of all to manage.
So when he heard that Gu Mengyao had graded the paper, Mr. Liu said nothing more.
Shen Yushu's voice wasn't loud, but the classroom was very quiet just then, so everyone heard her words and couldn't help casting Wei Zhao a look of sympathy. The boys were all thinking: Wei Zhao must have somehow provoked Miss Gu, and getting a zero from her was just terrible luck.
The girls, however, were somewhat disdainful. Wei Zhao was refined and gentle in appearance, with the air of a pretty boy from an idol drama, so they were a little displeased that Gu Mengyao had given him zero—yet none of them dared say anything to Gu Mengyao's face.
The most astonished of all was Wei Zhao himself. The moment he heard he had scored a zero, the look on his face was beyond description. Still, he had more or less guessed it: his paper had almost certainly been graded by Gu Mengyao, and with her involved, a miraculous result like this was hardly surprising.
Otherwise, even if he had deliberately gotten a few questions wrong, there was no way he'd have ended up with a zero. Watching Shen Yushu's face split into a wicked grin, Wei Zhao was left speechless. So what if it was a zero? Was that really something worth being happy about?
Kang Xiaofeng knew perfectly well that the paper Wei Zhao had graded was Gu Mengyao's. So when he now heard from Shen Yushu that Wei Zhao's paper had actually been graded by Gu Mengyao, his mouth dropped open into an "O" on the spot, exactly like the score on Wei Zhao's exam sheet.
There's something going on. There's definitely something going on. How could a coincidence like this ever happen? Kang Xiaofeng turned his head and fixed Wei Zhao with a look that demanded to get to the bottom of things. Sure, Gu Mengyao had given Wei Zhao a zero, but that only proved the point all the more. If there were nothing between the two of them, why would Gu Mengyao have gone out of her way to make things difficult for Wei Zhao?
Meeting Kang Xiaofeng's questioning gaze, Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile and spread his hands, as if to say he was entirely innocent.
Kang Xiaofeng, however, was somewhat puzzled now. Wei Zhao's expression showed that he was innocent, and although Kang Xiaofeng had earlier been convinced there was something going on between Wei Zhao and Gu Mengyao, thinking it over carefully now, there really didn't seem to be much possibility of it. Wei Zhao had only just transferred to the school a few days ago and hadn't even exchanged a single word with Gu Mengyao. How could there possibly be anything between the two of them?
Could it really be just a coincidence?
Kang Xiaofeng shook his head and turned back around. Although Wei Zhao's zero had given the whole class a good shock, it was only a shock for a single moment. After that, everyone turned their attention back to their own scores.
