Chapter 273 Building Good Relationships (1)_1
Yet, to his surprise, after hearing his daughter’s words, Murong Tao frowned and sternly warned Murong Mengyao, "Remember every single word I’m telling you today. I don’t care how much you can’t stand Murong Wanyu or how you choose to torment her. But you’d better open your eyes and see clearly, those bearing the Situ surname are not to be trifled with." After saying this, Murong Tao added, "It’s best if you get on good terms with those of the Situ surname."
Murong Tao had intended to say more to his daughter. But recalling the instructions that man had whispered in his ear a few days ago, he swallowed back the words he had wanted to say.
After all, Murong Wanyu was still an immature girl. Though she was calculative and used to scheming, faced with such a solemn warning from her own father, even if her heart held numerous grievances against Situ Xin, she didn’t dare to blatantly provoke him. Not to mention, with Situ Jin and the rest around, she would be even less likely to do anything to Situ Xin.
No matter how much Murong Mengyao wished she could execute Murong Wanyu by the death of a thousand cuts, when she saw the homeroom teacher walk in with a thick stack of math papers, her attention shifted entirely to the papers. She prayed for a miracle to happen this time.
Because, before the mid-term exams, Old Master Murong had given her an ultimatum—if she ended up at the bottom of her class again, her allowance for the following period would be cut in half. This was practically a death sentence for Murong Mengyao. She was at a critical point where she needed the money to win people over.
Murong Mengyao’s hands were clasped together nervously, her palms sweating.
In this class, it was only Situ Xin and her group of four who appeared totally unfazed by the sight of the test papers. The rest of the students were all extremely serious, anxiously staring at the podium, praying silently in their hearts.
"The overall performance of our class in this midterm exam was not bad," the homeroom teacher began, to the relief of all the students. But the teacher wouldn’t let them off easy, "However, some students have regressed significantly. The grades they’ve obtained are quite unsatisfactory." This statement caused the students’ hearts to rise in anxiety once again.
