The next morning, Nan Yan got up early, changed into sportswear, and went downstairs for a run.
She didn’t want to stay in the hotel for a specific reason; there were no good sports facilities outside.
Her body was currently weak, and she needed to exercise and improve her physical condition.
After an hour of jogging and exercise, Nan Yan went back upstairs, took a shower, changed into her school uniform, and took a taxi to school.
While waiting for the taxi, she bought a pancake roll for breakfast.
Upon arriving at school, the classmates in her class looked at her with more evident exclusion in their eyes.
When they saw the pancake roll in Nan Yan’s hand, their exclusion turned into clear disgust.
Zhide High School was an elite school, and those who could study here came from decent families.
Either they were top students or were used to boost the overall academic performance.
In their eyes, snacks like pancake rolls were considered trash, something only low-class people would eat.
Lu Rongrong contacted An Muyao yesterday, thinking she had grasped the truth and gloated, “Nan Yan, weren’t you kicked out by the An family? How do you still have the face to stay in school?”
“A semester’s tuition in this prestigious school costs over a hundred thousand.
Can someone like you, who came from the countryside, afford it?”
Nan Yan smirked, a dangerous glint in her eyes. “Forgetting a beating but not a meal is all because it doesn’t hurt enough. Classmate, do you want me to give you a more memorable experience?”
Lu Rongrong’s face turned pale, and she sat down sullenly, not daring to mock
Nan Yan again.
She didn’t want to get beaten again.
The classmates who had expected Nan Yan to be humiliated instead saw Lu Rongrong being humiliated. They sheepishly averted their gaze.
Well, this girl had too much strength and was too wild. They didn’t dare provoke her easily.
They were just waiting for her to be expelled. Anyway, the semester was already halfway through, and there were two more months until the exams.
By then, she wouldn’t have enough money to pay the tuition and would have to leave.
They could endure her for just two more months!
The computer science competition was scheduled around the same time as the final exams, in about two months.
Time was tight, so the headmaster instructed Nan Yan to spend two afternoon classes every day for training with the other four participating students.
After Nan Yan went to the computer classroom in the afternoon, the atmosphere in the class became lively.
“I can’t stand it anymore. We have to be careful even when talking because of her. I wish she would just leave!”
“Who doesn’t wish that? But now she’s a member of the computer science competition team. I’m afraid she won’t be able to quit until after the competition.”
“What if we find a way to make her leave our class?”
“You’re being too optimistic. With her academic performance, besides being forcefully placed in Class Four, who would want her in the other classes?” “Unless she voluntarily drops out, we won’t be able to do anything!”
“I have an idea…” Tian Tao, the sports committee member who had been beaten up by Nan Yan, had a sinister look on his face. “Why don’t we make a bet with her? If she loses, she has to drop out. What do you think?”
Someone asked, “How do we bet? Can you beat her?”
Tian Tao sneered, “We can compare our exam rankings!”
“The mid-term exams are just a week away. If she can’t rank within the top one hundred, she will drop out!”
“Do you think she will agree just because you propose a bet? Will she listen to you?”
Tian Tao confidently said, “As long as the price we offer is enticing enough, she will definitely take the bet!”
“She has been kicked out of the An family now, so she definitely doesn’t have any money. As long as we offer enough money to tempt her into betting with us, she will take the bait!”
The rest of the students were persuaded and nodded, “Let’s give it a try. Maybe she will agree! ”
“Yes, let’s give it a shot!”
As long as they could drive Nan Yan out of their class, they would agree to anything!
Nan Yan returned from the computer classroom, ready to pack her bag and go home.
She noticed that everyone in the class was sitting neatly, and no one had left.
It seemed they were waiting for her.
A slight smile formed on Nan Yan’s lips, and a hint of coldness shimmered in her peach blossom eyes as she calmly walked back to her seat.
Then she noticed a piece of paper on her desk.
Casually picking it up, she glanced at it, then looked up, her gaze seemingly smiling as she stared at those who were staring at her without blinking. Nan Yan raised an eyebrow, “Do you want to bet with me?”
It was Tian Tao who made the suggestion, standing up as the spokesperson. “That’s right. Do you dare to sign this wager?”
“May I ask, do you know what place I ranked in the last exam?” Nan Yan’s lips curled with a touch of amusement, and upon closer inspection, her eyes were filled with calculation.
Someone recalled, “Around thirtieth from the bottom.
Nan Yan mocked, “There are over seven hundred students in Zhide High School’s second year. Do you expect me to surpass over six hundred students in one go for just one million?”
“This bet of yours is so cheap. Are we playing house?!”
The classmates from Class Four all looked embarrassed.
“You were kicked out of the An family now, and I’m afraid you don’t even have ten thousand in your hands.”
“This one million is enough for you to live in the countryside for two lifetimes, and you still won’t be able to spend it all.”
“Don’t tell me you still consider yourself an aristocratic young miss of the An family? When you were an aristocratic young miss, did you receive ten thousand in pocket money every month?”
Nan Yan sneered.
Indeed, the original host didn’t even have ten thousand as her monthly allowance in the An family.
Moreover, they didn’t even give her an allowance.
Of course, it was possible that her allowance had been intentionally withheld or spent by someone else.
She even had to pick up the clothes that An Muyao didn’t want to wear anymore and use the things discarded by An Muyao in her room.
In the eyes of the An family, their biological daughter was worthless. “I can agree to the bet, but I’m not satisfied with the amount.”
It was clear that money was being offered, and she wouldn’t refuse it.
She could take advantage of the situation to make a profit.
Nan Yan welcomed this kind of deal that came to her door. The more the merrier.
“How much do you want?”
Nan Yan extended a slender, white finger. “Ten thousand per rank.”
This way, if she achieved first place, she would earn over seven million.
It was acceptable; it was worth her putting more effort into studying for the exams.
Her classmates were all from wealthy families.
Many of them received allowances of several hundred thousands per month, and with the red envelopes they received during the Lunar New Year and on their birthdays, they had a considerable amount of money.
There were about forty students in the class, so even if they all contributed, the total sum of over seven million would be divided by them, resulting in each person getting around several hundred thousands.
As long as they could drive Nan Yan out of their class, what did this amount of money matter!
Furthermore, none of them believed that Nan Yan’s intelligence could go from being ranked among the last few to being among the top in just a few days!
“Fine. If you rank within the top one hundred, we’ll give you one thousand for each rank you surpass.”
“But conversely, if you can’t reach that, you must drop out!”
Nan Yan’s beautiful eyes carried a deep meaning. “Alright then, let’s sign a legally binding debt agreement.” “So you won’t back out later..”
