Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 20: Result

Translator: Lonelytree 

This was a trap, the class teacher didn’t ask me to go to the photocopy room. Someone planned this trap for me. Their goal was for the men to ambush me, kidnap me and sell me to some underground mafia lord. How cruel could these people be?

However, it also showed that the girls didn’t think much of me, or else they wouldn’t have sent such a motley crew that an injured girl like myself could beat off.

When I returned to the exam hall, the exam had started for 10 minutes already. If I was 1 minute later, I would be barred from taking the exam.

I sat in my seat and let out a breath to calm myself down.

Finish the exam first before you tackle anything else!

After the last exam was over, I stretched and worked my stiff shoulders.

“Nan Xing!” Jing Ni’s voice came from the door.

While I packed my things, Jing Ni strode in to help me carry my backpack and my crutches. After everyone had vacated the exam hall, Jing Ni whispered to me, “Nan Xing, I heard that this afternoon, Li Tian and Tian Ting were attacked by ruffians outside the school. They were slapped repeatedly and greatly humiliated.”

So it was them?!

Jing Ni continued, “Eventually the school’s admin was called to stop the assault. The admin wanted to report this to the police but Li Tian and Tian Ting stopped him. The girls insisted that they were the ones who provoked the guys and they deserved the punishment. They refused to get the police involved, don’t you find that strange?”

I chuckled in my heart. At least the girls were smart enough to leave the police out of this. If they continued to pursue this matter, the 3 men would naturally sell them out. Then they’d get into further trouble.

Jing Ni muttered in a soft voice, “I can’t believe such a thing actually happened at our school. It’s so unbelievable, right, Nan Xing?”

I nodded in agreement.

This was a lesson for me as well. Now I understood why I was bullied so badly in my previous life. It was because I had no money, no power and no idea how to use my own brain. No wonder I was left at the mercy of others.

“Nan Xing, how did you do in your exam? The result will be out at 8 pm tonight! I’m so nervous!” Rambling was a sign of Jing Ni’s nervousness.

I stopped and patted her shoulder, “Ni Ni, you’ll be fine. Relax. As long as we show improvement in our results, there’s a great chance we can continue to stay at 7th uncle’s.”

“I’m even more nervous now that you’ve said that.” Jing Ni frowned.

I wasn’t worried. If plan A didn’t work, I still had Plan B. My goal was clear, which was to stay by Jing Tian’s side.

To do that, I needed to improve myself.

One day, I would stand shoulder to shoulder with Jing Tian and be his equal and not his burden!

That day, Lin Ran came over early to wait for the results. It looked like he was more nervous about it than I was.

When the result was released, before I even saw it, he snatched my phone away. After he saw the result, he stomped towards me and shoved the phone in my face. “Nan Xing, what is the meaning of this?”

I watched calmly as the man exploded.

Jing Ni was happily sharing her result with Jing Tian when Lin Ran exploded. She was startled by it. She quickly hurried over to placate Lin Ran, “Doctor Lin, please don’t be mad.”

Lin Ran turned to roar at Jing Ni, “How could I not be mad? How can she score so badly in the exam? It feels like I’ve wasted all of my effort over the summer!”

Jing Ni glanced at my result and she tutted, “Nan Xing, you’ve cheated in the exam, haven’t you?”

“You mean this is the score after she cheated? Ni Ni, you have to be kidding me!”

I sighed. Lin Ran glared at me. I took out another set of test paper from my bag and handed it to Lin Ran. “This are today’s test papers. I did these after I got home.”

Lin Ran looked at them and his face soon froze in surprise. Then he grabbed a pen to start grading my paper. After examining the grading twice, he looked at me from behind the paper.

I asked, “So how did I do?”

Lin Ran had a question of his own. “But why? Is that why Ni Ni said you cheated?”

Jing Ni reached for the test papers and smiled, “I knew Nan Xing wouldn’t score so low in the tests. She must have cheated and purposely answered wrongly so she wouldn’t score that high.”

“But, why? Every test you have now is very important. They’ll play an important role in your future university application. They’ll help determine your future study goals and trajectory. So why would you do this?” Lin Ran was confused.

I shrugged, “Let’s just say I’m biding my time.”

Jing Tian, who had been silent the whole time, walked over and took the test paper from Jing Ni’s hands. He asked Lin ran, “Are you satisfied with her results?”

Lin Ran nodded. “I’m more than satisfied.”

Jing Tian said, “Then that settles it. From now on, fit your teaching program to her plan. She has her own difficulties so don’t ask her too many questions. Just do as she says and trust in her!”

I was touched. Be it in this life or the last, Jing Tian had chosen to trust me unconditionally and give me the greatest support.

Jing Tian, I will not let you down!
