Chapter 173: The Situ Family’s Maid (1)_1
After Old Master Jia finished speaking, he stood up and headed toward the study. Everyone else quickly got to their feet as well, but none gave Ling Ruobing a glance, all moving away. Even her mother, Liang Yuemei, who had always shown her daughter great affection, didn’t spare Ling Ruobing a look, following the others out. This shattered the hopeful heart of Ling Ruobing, who had been watching her mother the entire time.
Originally, Situ Xin thought that Ling Ruobing wouldn’t come to the exam, but to her surprise, when she arrived in the classroom in the morning, she actually saw Ling Ruobing sitting at her own desk. Some girls who had arrived earlier were whispering in pairs or groups, speaking ill of Ling Ruobing.
However, Ling Ruobing showed no reaction to the others’ gossip, and kept her head down, busying herself with her own matters. When Situ Xin and the others arrived, Ling Ruobing lifted her head and looked towards them.
Baibai, inside Situ Xin’s backpack, peeked through the gap and, seeing Ling Ruobing, said with displeasure, "Master, Baibai does not like this woman, she does not look good at all." Situ Xin was somewhat speechless at Baibai’s evaluation of Ling Ruobing, "If you think she’s not pleasing to the eye, just don’t look at her. But I don’t like her much either."
Seeing the look Ling Ruobing cast their way, Situ Jin said dismissively, "This woman couldn’t still be hopeful, could she? She really has a thick face." The volume of Situ Jin’s words was not low, and the classmates in the room had heard. Situ Xin noticed that Ling Ruobing’s expression tightened when she heard what Situ Jin said, but then quickly returned to normal.
Situ Xin didn’t have much interest in Ling Ruobing and walked back to her own desk to prepare for the upcoming exam.
Now in their third year of junior high, Situ Xin and her classmates were required to take more subjects like physics and chemistry. These additional subjects were not a problem for Situ Xin. However, Situ Xin did not like the prolonged duration of the exams.
In Situ Xin’s opinion, all subjects should be done in one day. But since it was a standardized exam, her idea was impossible to realize. She could only follow the schedule like everyone else.
