Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Top Student Dog
Sheng Tang wasn’t as pretty as Yang Mingming, and her grades were average; her family was well-off for ordinary people, but at Huishi, she was considered lower middle class.
With such conditions, she managed to beat Yang Mingming once, showing how popular she was.
"Sheng Tang, you’re amazing! Normally, whenever there’s a project with Yang Mingming involved, she’s guaranteed to get first place. With all the trouble yesterday, I thought your reputation would plummet, but you still managed to beat her," the girl in the front row exclaimed excitedly.
Sheng Tang’s victory felt like it represented all the ordinary girls, defeating a goddess like Yang Mingming.
"Yeah, Yang Mingming must be fuming," another girl in the front row chimed in.
Sheng Tang felt helplessly amused.
She could imagine Yang Mingming’s current anger and resentment.
Last time, Yang Mingming was whipped by Gu Shiting, but the matter was left unresolved.
Yang Mingming took a week off to recuperate and returned to school, but Sheng Tang hadn’t seen her.
"Sigh, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing," Jiang Baocu sighed worriedly.
She really didn’t want Sheng Tang to provoke Yang Mingming.
Yesterday’s incident had obvious signs of manipulation, likely Yang Mingming’s doing.
While they were talking, a girl who sat next to their group and loved gossip just like Jiang Baocu ran over and leaned on Sheng Tang’s desk, "Are you talking about Yang Mingming?"
"Yeah," the girl in the front responded, "What’s up?"
"Yang Mingming nearly died yesterday."
"What?"
"What happened?"
The girl smiled mysteriously, "I heard it from a senior in the third year. Yang Mingming was returning home yesterday when her car was rear-ended by a heavy truck and almost crashed off the viaduct."
Everyone gasped.
Sheng Tang was taken aback.
"The front of the car was smashed, just a little bit more and she would have fallen off the viaduct with the car."
All the girls clutched their chests.
"That’s terrifying!"
"Natural disasters and accidents, you can’t predict them."
Sheng Tang remained silent.
How could it be such a coincidence?
"Her driver is still in the hospital, supposedly with a severe concussion. It’s really serious, yet she still came to school today," the girl continued.
Sheng Tang quietly took out her phone.
She sent Song Chen a message.
"It’s unsafe to go out lately. I heard a senior nearly got into an accident. Remind the young master to be careful," she wrote.
Song Chen replied five minutes later, "The young master is aware and will be careful."
Sheng Tang: "...."
It really was them.
Gu Shiting was unhappy last time and whipped Yang Mingming; this time, suspecting Yang Mingming harmed Sheng Tang, he sent someone to kill her.
How adorably fierce.
Sheng Tang was quite ruthless too. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with Gu Shiting’s actions and was instead very grateful for his protection.
What a filial child.
Thinking about rejecting his company last night, Sheng Tang felt a bit guilty.
Moreover, with Song Chen by his side, Sheng Tang believed Gu Shiting wouldn’t cross the line.
Feeling warmed by these thoughts, she sent Gu Shiting a message.
"Math is so hard. Can you help me review this weekend?"
Gu Shiting quickly replied, "Sure."
That simple response made Sheng Tang feel his exuberant mood.
"Thank you, senior. It won’t interfere with your own exam review, right?"
"No, I never need to review before exams."
Sheng Tang: "...."
This maniacal academic overlord!
She was messaging, while the girls were still chatting when the teacher walked in.
They dispersed immediately.
Sheng Tang took out her English textbook and studied earnestly.
At lunch in the cafeteria, she encountered Yang Mingming.
Yang Mingming’s whip mark from last time was totally gone, likely covered with makeup.
Accompanying her were several male and female students, including Gu Jiahui.
Before entering, Gu Jiahui glanced at Sheng Tang.
That glance was full of meanings.
